Lucas froze.
He had no memory of ordering a package.
Frowning, he took the large box from the courier. A sharp, metallic scent hit him like a wave–blood. Dread coiled in his gut, his hands trembling as he slowly lifted the lid.
The moment the box opened, everyone around him gasped.
“Aah!”
Emily let out a shriek. “No–no way!”

Her voice quivered, trying to dodge the blame.
Aidan muttered a curse, then smirked coldly at Lucas.
“Come on, man. You never even liked her. Now that the Pup’s gone, you can finally be with Emily. Hell, my boys even gave her a trial run for you. Honestly? She’s not worth the trouble. Her body’s already wrecked. Who knows how long it’ll take to bounce back after pushing out that Pup?”

don’t get to talk about her like that!”
He put everything he had into that punch. Aidan crashed to the floor, blood pouring from his mouth, two teeth landing with a wet clatter at his side.
