My heart was thudding, getting louder and louder. “Woah, woah. Okay. Please relax. Listen, I don’t know who you think I am but I have amnesia,” I said. “A car accident. I don’t remember anything before a few weeks ago. So even if I wanted to help you, I can’t p>
He looked shaken, tilting his head. “An accident? But you… you look exactly like p>
“Hey!” a voice barked from across the street.
I turned. Nolan.
He was walking toward us with that steady, deliberate stride that always made people instinctively get out of the way. Dressed in his usual dark coat, collar turned slightly up, he looked composed, but barely.
His jaw was tight, the muscle ticking beneath his cheekbone, and his storm-colored eyes locked on me like I’d just stepped into enemy territory. He was pissed, and it was directed.
Right at me.
I tensed, expecting him to screa at me, tell me off for something I didn’t do. I couldn’t remember, but my body did his harsh words when he was annoyed.
But to my surprise, he walked right past me, right between me and the Moonstone Pack member.
“This is my Luna,” he said coldly, stepping in front of me. “You have five seconds to back off p>
The man’s eyes flicked from Nolan to me, tucking his chin with a slight scowl.
I was left baffled. Luna? Was he implying that we were some happy couple p>
I guess that’s what the deal was, to save face. I swallowed hard and, in the moment, made a choice.
Looping my arm through Nolan’s, I gave the man my most composed, detached smile. “Yes. This is my husband. Do you need something p>
The man hesitated, clearly battling something in his mind, he sniffed the air like he was… checking my scent. A look of disappointment crossed his face before Nolan tugged me gently behind him, and the Moonstone pack member stepped back.
“I’m sorry,” he said finally. “I was far too forward, and made a mistake in judgement. I didn’t mean to frighten you p>
“You didn’t,” I lied smoothly. “Have a good day p>
He gave me one last look, a searching, aching look, and then turned and disappeared down the street.
Only when he was gone did I release the breath I’d been holding.
Rae sat frozen, her eyes wide. “What the actual-was that p>
“I don’t know,” I whispered. “But something about him felt p>
“Familiar p>

I wanted to nod but I couldn’t.
Nolan turned to me sharply. “What were you doing? Why were you talking to him p>
I saw Rae open her mouth, she wanted to defend me but knew not just anyone can stand up to an Alpha. I raised
a hand ot stop her, arching a brow to Nolan. “He approached me? Maybe next time you can growl earlier p>
He scowled, his eyes flickering to my stomache. “That was reckless. You shouldn’t be alone p>
I stiffened, ignoring the compulsion to cover my stomach with my hand. “I wasn’t,” I said. “Rae was here p>
“She’s not a guard p>
“She’s better than a guard. She’d throw a shoe with perfect aim p>
Rae beamed. “Damn right I would p>
Nolan’s gaze burned into me. “What if he tried something p>
“He didn’t,” I said flatly. “And even if he had, what do you care? I’ve done everything
we agreed to. You’ve got Felicity. So don’t police my free time p>
He didn’t move. Didn’t speak.
Just… stared.
That’s when he stepped in, his arm slamming above me, caging me in. He was close, close enough that I caught the heat from his chest, his shadow falling over mine.
My eyes widened. “W-what p>
