Eight years ago, Alpha Sebastian Carter made a devastating choice. When she was expecting their children, he cast her away to fulfill his mate's wicked desire, leaving her with no place to turn. In those difficult years, Jasmine rose from obscurity, finding solace and love with Asher by her side, as she and her triplets gained fame. Now, Sebastian reappears with a proposal in hand, convinced that she'll always belong to him. His presence stirs up emotions she thought long buried. "Does his touch make you think of me, Jasmine?" he whispers, his voice echoing through her memory like a knife. Despite being shattered by his actions, he continues to push her buttons. "Please, Sebastian, move," she pleads, trapped between him and the storeroom wall. His response is a cold reminder of the power he still holds over her. "That's not the answer I want." Her hands are trapped above her head, preventing any escape. "Your kisses, the ones that haunted my dreams, are all too familiar," he growls, igniting a fire within her. This moment feels illicit, a violation of the past they share. She's supposed to have moved on, isn't she? But the truth is far from simple.
