Pain ripples through my abdomen despite Bexley’s powers blanketing me in the soft light of her healing powers. It’s not just the gunshot wound that hurts. As I see her disappear over the wall in Garth’s grasp, I feel my insides begin to shatter.
“We’ll get her back!” Ellison shots in my head. He’s a huge wolf and can jump over that wall, I know it, but he’ll only have a couple of hours to track them down once he’s there. We need a plan.
“You six, go with Ellison,” I command, keeping a hand pressed against my stomach as I point with the other at the men I mean to go with him. I can hear horse hooves in the distance and know that Garth has a head start. My men will be faster, but the snow is beginning to fall, and that will make it more difficult to stay on his tracks and will help cover the scent.
Something tells me Garth has more tricks up his sleeve.

*Canaan*The world around me is muffled as I try to open my eyes. The intense pain I felt right before I passed out is still present, though I can’t feel it quite as sharply now as I could before. Justin hovers over me, holding a bottle under my snout .I assume it’s some sort of smelling salts. I almost wish he hadn’t bothered. I think I’d rather be out when my entire body feels like I’ve been trampled by a thousand stampeding horses.“Ellison and the others are under attack,” he says, jarring me back to reality. I try to sit up, but he won’t let me. “A mob of armed citizens intercepted them a few miles on the other side of the castle grounds. Three of the six guards you sent are down, and he’s wounded again. I told him to get back here, but he won’t listen. We need another plan. They lost track of Bexley, and their just getting slaughtered.”I nod in acknowledgement. He’s not wrong.

*Bexley*I rush toward the castle, urging the horse to go as fast as possible, snow falling furiously around us. I have to warn Canaan. Not only is there a mob of villagers approaching the castle, Garth is somewhere behind me. He must’ve taken a horse from that barn.The guards at the gate listened to my shouts to let me in, so I didn’t even have to slow down as I rode through the front gate. I practically leap off the horse and rush inside as a commotion in the front foyer greets me. “Where’s the king?” I shout as David throws open the door.“Miss Bexley, you’re back,” he says, locking the door behind me and slipping a heavy bar into place. It’s a good thought, but I don’t think it will stop the attack that’s about to happen. They’ll figure out a way to get through the gates and then the doors, whether it’s this one or one of several others. The castle was built as a lux

*Canaan*The moment Bexley disappears behind me, I turn and rush down the hallway as quickly as I can. When I turn the corner, I see one of my warriors lying in a pool of his own blood with Garth stalking toward him, his rifle still smoking.A roar tears through my body. Even though I can’t shift, that won’t stop me from launching myself at the bastard. He doesn’t get his weapon up in time, so when I crash into him, I crush it against his body and rip into his shoulders with my gnarled teeth.“Get off me, you fucking bastard!” Garth shouts, attempting to kick me off like he did last time. I dig my claws in and continue to maul him the best I can. I don’t know what’s happening downstairs, but this asshole needs to die. Blood and muscle fills my mouth as I chew through him, spitting it aside.He shouts in anger and pain and tries again to push me off. This time, he uses his elbow for leverage and manag

*Bexley*I want to run to Canaan and wrap my arms around his furry neck, but we can’t do that right now. The sounds of fighting from downstairs are still intense, and it’s clear he’s still injured. He drops Garth’s head on the floor, and I rush over to him, trying to see where the bullet entered him earlier.He nuzzles up against me, and I almost laugh, but I’m too busy looking for his injury. I find it in his shoulder. “This looks painful,” I murmur, wishing he could talk to me. His eye is also a bit jacked up, like maybe Garth also punched him too hard in the face.“I’m all right,” I hear in my head.I take a step backward and almost trip over what’s left of Garth. “Wh-what was that?”He looks at me with a wolfy grin. “That’s the mind-link. I can talk to you now that you know who you are.”“Now that I know who I am?” I

*Bexley*I still don’t know how to find the vault. Anna, who was standing nearby when Justin told me where to find Canaan, spoke up and said she’d escort me. Now, I walk with her up a back stairwell away from all of the blood and gore that the staff has already begun to clean up. As we walk, she tells me a story.“It was the night of Prince Canaan’s seventeenth birthday. King Paul and Queen Sophia wanted to throw a ball and invite all of the nobles from all the kingdoms near and far. Prince Canaan didn’t want such an event, though. The king had just finished negotiating an agreement with the townsfolk for the villages between Luna Hollow and Hexeton to become part of the kingdom, and there had been some fighting. Canaan thought it disrespectful to have a party at such a time. His mother, who had a bit of a temper, decided if he wanted to act that way, she’d send all of the nobles home. They wouldn’t celebrate at a

*Canaan*The feel of Bexley’s soft skin beneath my fingers has me wanting to forget about the rest of the world. I would love to pick her up, carry her back to my bedroom, and ravish her the way I’ve been dreaming of doing since the day we met.But I have another important task for her. I’m begging the Moon Goddess that she’ll be able to break the final portion of the curse and free my parents.“I don’t understand,” Bexley says. “I thought your parents passed away the night the witch showed up?”I know that Anna has told her the story of what happened that night. I asked her to do so as she walked with her to where we now stand. While it’s true I probably should’ve done it myself, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to. It’s simply too painful for me to remember all the details. And Anna is an excellent storyteller.“Ever since that night, they haven&rsquo

*Bexley*The hazel eyes I see every night in my dreams are staring up at me, wide and hopeful, waiting patiently for me to respond to his question. A simple question. The most important question I’ll ever be asked in my life.This is not a dream. This is reality. This is the real world—where people can turn into wolves, people can discover they have magical powers and use them for good, and people can come back from the dead—or like dead.It’s a world where an ordinary girl like me can reluctantly move to a different kingdom only to discover she’s been summoned to an enchanted castle to break a spell—and fall in love.I’m struggling to answer Canaan’s question not because I don’t know the answer but because I’m crying so much. The only thing that could possibly make this moment more special would be if my mother were here. She’s not, though, and I can hardly wait to give him an answer, so rather than speaking, I nod my head fervently.“Is that a yes?” he asks.“That’s a yes!” Elliso

Ever since the day after the castle was attacked when Canaan and I showed up at the house she shared with Harvey and told her everything, she’s been teary eyed. She’s so proud of me. Even now, she says, “I can’t believe you’re the queen!”“Well, not yet,” I remind her, looking at my own reflection in the mirror. “There is the matter of getting married—and coronated.”“That’s all just a technicality,” she assures me. “I’m so proud of you, honey!”“I’m proud of you, too.” Carefully, I turn in my long white dress and hug her. The last thing I need to do is tear this gown, though I’m fairly certain Canaan will do that later when he grows impatient with all the buttons.&l
