The air crackled with tension as Paul Lahote stood between the pack and the Cullens, his silver-gray form trembling with barely contained rage. Vampires were his fuel, his sworn enemies. But then, she looked at him. Her golden eyes met his, calm and unyielding. In that heartbeat, the wildfire within him was tempered by frost. Edward sensed the shift instantly; Alice saw a future where Paul stood as her protector. The pack watched in stunned silence as Paul’s hatred curdled into a terrifying, absolute devotion. He hated it. He hated her. Yet, he could not turn away. His aggression, once a weapon against her, became a shield for her. Bound by instinct, divided by fate, the hot-headed wolf and the cold immortal were now inextricably linked.
