*~Hazel's POV~*
Right in the middle of nowhere, I was trapped between two forces—two voices pulling me apart.
One who claimed to be my mother, a woman with a striking resemblance to me, one said to be the Topu Ganga.
And one who claimed to be my mate. Jonathan. Dark, dangerous, unyielding. He swore that we were created for each other, that he alone carried the truth I had been craving my entire life.
The battle between them was deafening, their words clashing inside my skull until the world itself seemed to tilt. But slowly, I felt it—the pressure holding me down releasing. My wolf was no longer fighting. She was stepping back, handing me the reins, leaving me to make the final judgment.
This was my choice. My decision. My fate.
I shifted, forcing myself back into my human form. My voice tore through the chaos, raw and powerful:
"Enough!"
