A horrible possibility enters my head then. If the all clear went out then Gabriel and Sean would have followed protocol and taken Ella home. What if our fears were right, and this was a distraction? My wolf growls. If the King can call for the all clear the Prince probably found a way to use hi
Ella When I wake, I’m amazed to realize I’m alive. I was sure the Prince’s men were going to kill me. My hands immediately got to my middle, running over my slight baby bump with urgency. Everything feels normal, but I wish I had Sinclair’s link with our pup. I wish I could feel what he’s feeling,
Lydia scoffs, “Of course he would. Dominic has always been too noble for his own damned good. Besides – weren’t you listening. I said you’d be together. We just need him to give up his campaign, that’s all.” I shake my head. “What the hell happened to make you this way? Don’t you care about what wi

The first man steps forward, a hard look on his face. “All do respect, Alpha, but Gabriel trained me, he was one of the best fighters I’ve ever seen, and he saved my life more than once over the years. That cowardly bastard probably had to outnumber them five to one just to take him out. And targeti
Ella Sleep! I beg my manic wolf. You have to keep your strength up! We need sleep! I can’t rest when there’s danger. She argues stubbornly, and though I’m frustrated, I understand. I’m so exhausted with fear, anxiety, and pregnancy that I’m barely hanging onto my sanity by a thread, but I know it’
