As Samantha gazed into the eyes of her true mate, she felt a surge of conflicting emotions. The Alpha King stood before her, his expression a mix of disbelief and hurt."I can't believe you would do this to me, Samantha," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.Samantha's heart ached at the pain in his voice, but she knew she had to stay true to herself and her feelings.

As consciousness slowly returned to Samantha, she found herself disoriented, her surroundings a blur of shadows and muffled sounds. Blinking away the haze, she tried to sit up, only to realize she was bound tightly, unable to move. "Adrian?" she called out, her voice echoing in the dimness.
