---- Chapter 2 I gathered my things and checked into a nearby hotel. My plan was simple: wake up the next morning and head straight to the airport. But I never made it. Just after sunrise, the door to my hotel room was kicked open. David stormed in, his wolf's face twisted with fury. He seized my wolf by the throat and yanked me off the bed like a rag doll. "May! How can you be so vicious? Amy only did what she did because she loves me! What did she ever do to deserve this?!" My wolf howled in pain. David's strength was terrifying-he truly meant to kill me. Tears welled in my eyes. I looked up at him and whispered, "What... what did I do?" David hurled his phone at me. It hit the ground with a loud thud. ---- "you recorded Amy's private video and leaked it online! You're trying to ruin her, slandering her, calling her a homewrecker!" "Do you even realize-Amy almost jumped off a cliff because of you!" I picked up the phone and glanced at the news. One look was all I needed. Another one of Amy's twisted games. I let out a cold, bitter laugh. "J didn't release the video. But even if I had-was it a lie? Isn't she the one who came between us?" David was livid. His wolf grabbed mine by the hair and dragged me down the hotel hallway, all the way to the rooftop. Only then did he let go. He crouched down, gripping my chin hard. "Go live. Right now. Say you were the one who got between me and Amy. Apologize to her. Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness. Do that, and maybe this ends here." ---- Pain contorted my face, but I said nothing. There was nothing left in my heart for him-not even hatred. David's eyes turned glacial. "Fine. If that's how she wants it-then she'll get the punishment she truly deserves," he said through gritted teeth. His guards bound my wolf's hands, then hoisted me over the edge of the rooftop with a rope-dangling me several stories above the ground. I looked down. The world spun beneath me. I wanted to speak, to explain-but I knew he wouldn't believe a single word. So I bowed my head and silently endured every cruel thing they did to me. Suddenly, I was a pup again-back on the edge of a cliff, nearly thrown off by a group of rogue wolves. That same paralyzing fear returned. My wolf trembled, desperate to protect me, but she couldn't move. Terror rooted us to the spot. "David... please... I swear, it wasn't me... Please... pull me up..."
