Addison couldn't remember. Her circumstances were different now. And no matter how much emotion was in Lance's eyes, she couldn't answer the plea he laid bare before her.
She opened her mouth, trying to find the words—
But before she could speak, a shadow flashed past her.
Something lunged at Lance.
In the blink of an eye, it tackled him to the ground, pinning him as fists flew in a blur.
Addison was stunned for a split second, but instinct took over, and she immediately rushed to help Lance, thinking they were under attack.
But as she got closer, her eyes widened in shock.
It was Zion.
He looked murderous, feral even.
"Don't touch my mate!" he growled, his voice warped with Shura's, deep, beastly, and raw with primal rage. His golden eyes gleamed dangerously, a clear sign that Shura was close to breaking through.
Addison quickly grabbed Zion's raised arm, stopping him before he could land another brutal punch.
