“I… love you, Summer.”It was barely a whisper, I almost missed it, being lost in my thoughts. Suddenly, I couldn’t breathe.“I love you, and I understand if I have lost my only chance of being with you. I understand if you choose Prince Lucian.”The way he said his name made me shiver.“I just hope
I couldn’t remember when I had fallen asleep. Tossing and turning in my bed for what seemed like hours, sleep escaped me. I was thinking about all the recent events, the mate-bond between me and Marcus… and Lucian. Was Marcus right? Was Lucian’s sister-in-law murdering any she-wolf coming near him?
“It’s not a big deal, I cut my finger once or twice.”“I cut mine about ten times.” Marcus said, eagerly.I know wolves heal fast, but these two fools were really competing about who got more cuts on their fingers.“You could really use a hand, guys…”They both refused and pushed me out of the kitch
Marcus’ POV:I looked at Summer, and the fear in her eyes made me even angrier. The Red River Pack was a pack of murderers, as far as I was concerned. Sending them a messenger was Prince Lucian’s idea: I would have much rather avoided their territory altogether. Prince Lucian explained:“My father h
Marcus’ POV:“I don’t… What does that even mean?”Prince Lucian took a deep breath, before explaining:“When the hybrids shift for the first time, their wolves make them even stronger and faster. But the shift kills them.”“Kills their wolves? So then how are they able to survive?” Summer’s voice wa
Summer’s POV:Everything around me was a blur. After getting me in the car, I expected Prince Lucian to ride with me, and I was a little disappointed when he closed the door and moved to the front of our group. I sighed. At that moment, I felt the tiniest of tingles creep up inside my brain. It was
Summer’s POV:I didn’t have time to dwell on Marcus’ disappointment as he quickly turned around to engage in conversation with a few soldiers standing nearby. I was watching him, unsure whether to follow and talk to him or not, when Prince Lucian gently touched my elbow.“How about you ride with me
I always had a very sensitive hearing, even before my wolf emerged, and at times like this I wished I didn’t. My heart started racing. Was this what this really was about? The Red River Pack warning me and my own to stay away? As if picking up on my emotions, Prince Lucian suddenly halted the horse,
Lucian’s POV: As I walked to the front door of the small, secluded cottage, closely followed by my two fiercest warriors, my Beta Samuel, and the Alpha’s daughter, I struggled internally to stop Ghost from taking over.“MATE! FIND OUR MATE! WE WILL KILL THIS ENTIRE PACK OF TRAITORS AND DOGS!”“Calm
Summer’s POV:Not only did Levi sound stupid, but he also sounded insane, and insanely dangerous. Marry him? When I had two mates already fighting for my attention? The odds of that happening were… zero! I would never mate with him, even if I didn’t have Marcus and Lucian. He made it pretty clear th
We stood there in silence, and I couldn’t help but notice that the maid hadn’t welcomed him in, and that she was staring at him angrily. I don’t know why, but the Beta reminded me of someone. My mind was racing trying to figure it out. I gathered my thoughts and tried to focus on the present problem
I sat down and started piling things up on my plate, without sparing a word nor a glance to my savior. Bacon and eggs, then pancakes with syrup, juice and coffee with cream to wash it all down… This was heaven! I was basically moaning with each bite.“Hmph!” The maid scoffed, and only then did I rem
Marcus’ POV:At one point, I had managed to convince Summer to sneak out with me, telling her it would be easier for us not to be heard this way. In reality, I couldn’t stay put inside that tiny bedroom, with her body so close to mine. So I helped her climb out of the window and we walked and talked
Summer’s POV:As I followed the nurse out and away from the hall, I realized we were actually leaving the pack house again. I tried my best to silence the anxiety that was rising inside me, before asking hesitantly:“Errmmm, sorry, Samantha?”She slowed down, then turned to look at me before smiling
Lucian kept the bag in his hand, looking intensely at it. I was curious to know if he would open it.“My father entrusted me with this, and I haven’t opened it, as instructed. But as I understand, it has been given to the King by Beta Mariana herself.”I gasped. He looked at me, an apologetic look o
Summer’s POV:I walked with Lucian and the small escort the Red River Pack had sent for us, while Lucian’s own guards and warriors followed, forming a small half circle behind us. I was thinking about Marcus’ last words to me, and didn’t pay attention to the whispers around us.“What are you thinkin
