"Can you please explain your actions?" As he circled the bed and approached my side, he sighed without answering. His proximity made me close my eyes, and I could feel our hearts beating in sync, along with his gentle breathing. Despite his chilly demeanor, I momentarily wondered if he was affected by our connection. Yet, I knew the truth. The cold metal shackle around my neck tightened as sorrow welled up inside me, accompanied by fresh tears. The indignity of being restrained pained me, but what cut deepest was the fact that it was my own mate inflicting this on me. "Misery," he muttered softly. He lifted my hand, releasing the chain from my wrist. "Let's proceed." I wiped away my tears, standing up reluctantly. I chose not to meet his gaze. It was a difficult choice – whether the chains or the shackles caused more pain. In either case, they served as a constant reminder: I was nothing more than a rogue to him. --- "Stealing The Heart of My Alpha" concludes the thrilling Black Shadow Pack Series.
