How could you not want use, Dominic‘ Her voice rose, edged with hysteria, bouncing off the library walls, “I’ve killed for you! Do you understand? To protect what we have!

Your ex–girlfriend who died in the forest near Silver Moon Estates. Her eyes glittered with a disturbing pride. “<b>She </b>was never your true mate. Every argument you had was diminishing your wolf. You became stronger after she <b>was </b>gone, didn’t you?”
The mention of Aria sent a cold shock through me. Her death had been ruled an ident–a hiking <b>mishap </b>in the forest two years ago. Id grieved her loss, though our rtionship had beening to an end. The thought that Elizabeth had been involved…
