Sebastian~
I stood frozen, my entire world having just turned upside down in the span of a few seconds. The scent, the bond, the way my heart had nearly leaped out of my chest—it was undeniable. That woman, Brielle Hector, was my mate.
But she ran.
I blinked, still processing what had just happened. My mate had turned on her heel and bolted out of the office like I was some kind of monster. She had shoved Zane aside like he was nothing more than a piece of furniture in her way.
Zane, standing beside me, still looked stunned. His brows were furrowed, and he glanced toward the open door before turning to me. "Did she just… push me?"
I didn't respond. I couldn't.
Griffin, who had been just as frozen as us, suddenly cursed under his breath and took off after her.
Zane let out an incredulous laugh. "What the hell is going on? Why was Griffin here? Who was that woman? And why did she push me?"
