But no matter how hard I scrub, I know I can\u2019t wash away what happened tonight. I force myself to step into the shower, letting the scalding water hit me. I don\u2019t flinch at the heat. Instead, I lean into it, desperate for it to burn away the fear clinging to me. After a moment, everything I\u2019ve been holding inside finally breaks. The fear, the confusion, and the sheer exhaustion of what happened\u2026 all of it crashes down on me at once. I can\u2019t hold it back anymore. I press my hands against the cold tiles, my shoulders shaking as sobs wrack my body.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t even try to stop them. The hot water streams down, mixing with the tears I can\u2019t control. I feel so small, so fragile, like the weight of everything is too much to bear. I\u2019m shaking, my mind racing, unable to escape the terror that\u2019s still clawing at me.<\/p>\n

Then, I hear the bathroom door creak open. My heart skips a beat, but before I can even think to react, I know it\u2019s him. Cory doesn\u2019t say a word. He doesn\u2019t come closer or try to intrude. He\u2019s just there. Silent. Present. And as strange as it is, knowing he\u2019s there, that I\u2019m not alone, helps. It\u2019s like his presence alone grounds me, giving me the strength to finish what I started.<\/p>\n

I manage to pull myself together enough to wash off the dirt, scrubbing away the grime and the memories of the attack. The tears still fall, but my sobs quiet down as I rinse the soap from my body. The water is almost too hot now, but I don\u2019t care. It\u2019s comforting in its own way.<\/p>\n

When I finally shut off the water, the silence in the bathroom feels louder than before. I reach for a towel, wrapping it tightly around myself, suddenly self-conscious. I take a breath, hoping\u2014praying\u2014that Cory\u2019s left the room by now. I can\u2019t deal with him seeing me like this, so raw and vulnerable.<\/p>\n

But when I step out of the tub, my foot catches on the edge of the towel, and before I even know what\u2019s happening, I trip. A gasp escapes me, and I brace for impact, but instead of hitting the floor, I fall right into his arms. Cory catches me, his grip firm but gentle. For a moment, I freeze, staring up at him, my heart pounding in my chest.<\/p>\n

His arms are warm and strong around me, steadying me.<\/p>\n

Cory 36. Lisa 37. Cory 38. Lisa Epilogue – Tom SPECIAL PREVIEW \u2013 An alluring BITE – Tom Other Books By Daniella Starre About the Author 1kitap1.com\/en I 1 CORY \u2019ve been sitting in Luna\u2019s Moon, the bar of the Steel Falls werewolves. Something keeps me glued to the spot, a nagging feeling that I need to stay. Maybe it\u2019s the scent that\u2019s been haunting me, or maybe it\u2019s the unsettling tension in the air. Either way, I decide to stick around. Barrett joins me at the bar, looking more tired and worried than I\u2019ve ever seen him.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been on edge ever since Elias and his pack came into the picture, and I don\u2019t blame him. In fact, I\u2019m the same. Those asshole wolves came after me, and my arm has only just healed. \u201cHey, man,\u201d I say, giving him a nod as he sits down next to me. \u201cYou doing okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

Barrett lets out a long breath, rubbing his temples. \u201cNot really. I\u2019m just\u2026 I\u2019m worried, Cory. Worried about Amelia.\u201d Amelia. I know the name well enough by now. Barrett\u2019s been talking about her a lot lately, ever since she got caught up in all this werewolf madness. The fact that he turned her to save her life is still something I\u2019m wrapping my head around. He\u2019s completely gone for her, and I get it. She\u2019s his mate, but they\u2019ve been dealing with some heavy shit.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
