Kimi and her family departed from the pack house and returned to their residence.
Sprawled across her mattress, Kimi found herself replaying the intensity in Kolton's gaze when she had mentioned having someone special in her life.
"What exactly do you expect? You get to have someone, but I cannot? Then you are nothing but a fool. I refuse to shed tears over someone who does not deserve my affection."
She shut her eyes tightly, desperate to erase the events of the day from her memory.

Kimi's consciousness returned when aggressive pounding echoed through her room. She bolted upright and rushed toward the entrance.
Her mind raced with possibilities of emergencies.
Upon opening the door, she discovered Rylie positioned outside.
"Rylie?"
"Girl, what is going on with you? Why have you been ignoring my calls?"
