    Nn’s grip on my throat tightened by the second, and just when I thought I was a goner, he finally let go.


    He flung me to the ground. I mmed hard into the stone floor, knocking the little breath left in my lungs out. I coughed and clutched at my neck.


    “You have five seconds to exin to me why I shouldn’t rip your throat out right now,” Nn demanded as he checked Talia’s pulse.


    “I injected her with… wolfsbane,” I said quickly before he changed his mind.


    “How much?” Nn asked. “How much did you inject in her?”


    “Lethal amount,” I replied, and Nn snarled. He looked ready to pounce and I quickly screamed, “I have what you need to keep her alive for a little longer!”


    Nn’s eyes were narrowed, and his lips were curled back into a snarl. “You expect me to believe you, a liar?”


    I pushed myself up to my knees and held up both hands to show I had nothing hidden. “I have a counteragent. It cannot cure her, but it can slow the spread of the poison. Without it, she may notst more than a few minutes.”


    “Show me,” he said. “Do not make me repeat myself.”


    I moved slowly, picking up my purse from the floor. My fingers closed around the syringe. I pulled it out carefully and held it where he could see. The ss caught the dim light and the orange liquid sparkled in the light.


    “This will buy her time,” I exined. “She was poisoned by the injection and by breathing it in. The counteragent will neutralize some of the wolfsbane, but not all of it.”


    Nn did not move. His gaze flicked to Talia and then back to me. His silence was unnerving as I could not read his expression.


    “Give it to me,” Nn demanded.


    “We need to discuss terms,” I told him.


    Nn scoffed. His eyes shing as he pushed his wolf down. “You are an enemy of Shadoww and Silverfang. You have nothing to bargain with.”


    “You need me,” I blurted out. “I was once a high-ranking member of Shadoww. I know every name that matters there. I know where the hidden supplies are kept, and which families cannot be trusted. With my help, you could take Shadoww without war.”


    Nn gave me a cold smile, “And why would you think I’d be interested in Shadoww?”


    “You want power,” I said. “With Shadoww under yourmand, you would control two major packs. From there, the throne of Alpha King would already be yours. The Alpha King would not be able to oppose you. You could take it without much effort.”


    “And what about Jason?” Nn asked.


    “He betrayed me. Our rtionship is over,” I replied, gritting my teeth.


    “And what do you demand in return?” Nn asked, tly.

    “You will make me your Luna,” I said.


    His eyes hardened and his nose red. “What right do you think you have to be my Luna?”


    “The right of being useful,” I smirked. “Talia is a barren omega. She will never give you an heir. She will be a waste as your Luna.”


    “Who said she was going to be my Luna?” Nn asked as he circled me like prey.


    “You came running to save her. I assumed you had a reason to save her,” I replied with a shrug, “I can give you what she never will. I can give you Shadoww, and with it, the influence you need to be Alpha King”


    Nn stepped closer until I could feel his Alpha aura rolling off him. He was less angry, but still angry. ‘Be careful with him,’ my wolf warned me. ‘He’s unpredictable.’ z


    “You betray one pack and offer another. Why would I trust a traitor?” Nn spat.


    “You do not have to trust me,” I reasoned. “Bind me by oath. Guard me. Test me. Use me as you will I only need the chance to prove that I can give you what you want.


    “You think highly of yourself.”


    “I know my worth,” I said.


    Nn stepped closer to me. He pulled me to my feet. Nn lifted his hand, and I flinched back. But he didn’t p me. Nn let his knuckles brush my chin. A faint smile touched his mouth, though his eyes were unreadable.


    Nn smirked and said, “You always had a smart mouth.”


    His hand slid to my cheek. My pulse beat faster, not only from fear but from something more. I could never resist a male with power and that was Nn even more so than Jason. Jason couldn’t hold a candle to Nn.


    ‘Viki,” my wolf growled a warning, ‘You can’t trust him. He only cares about himself.’


    ‘Shut up,’ I snapped at her. ‘We need him.’


    The risk did not matter. Nn was cruel and so was I. He should understand my drive to secure my position next to the most powerful. I was only loyal to those that were loyal to me.


    Nn’s gaze did not waver. He leaned closer, and his smile grew sharper. This was perfect. No man could resist me in the end.


    “You will see the worth in me,” I said seductively. “Give me the chance, and I will give you Shadoww.”


    His thumb traced along my jawline. His smile was calm and dangerous, but I chose to see only what it promised. I believed in the bargain I had offered. I believed it had been epted.


    A thrill moved through me as he leaned closer, and in that moment, I knew-I had won.
