"You don't need to tell me what to do. I've got it," I assured him.I giggled as the maids brought in a new set of silky clothes for me to change into. I was pleased with the lavish design. Only clothes like this could match my beauty.We were brought to a large tent with at least twenty guards arou
Confusion laced King Kal's eyes. "Why would James want her? Doesn't he have a mate?""Yeah, but the stupid queen can't bear kids.They thought with Rosalie's blood, they fixed the queen, but something went wrong. So now they want her alive so they can drain her dry. James made an offer with me. He'd
**Rosalie's POV "Your mother would be proud of you," Cerina said, standing next to me, looking over my mother's tomb. This was for Ethan to hear so that we wouldn't make him suspicious. In my mindlink, however, I heard Cerina's disapproval. 'Your Majesty, this is too dangerous. Please reconsider p
"For me?!" I exclaimed. "How is that doing anything good for me?" Letting out a deep breath, Cerina's eyes went back to Ethan for a moment. His brow narrowed, but he didn't say anything. Cerina smiled bitterly. "She did it to give you a normal life. She forbade us from reaching out to you. She had
I kept my eyes closed and listened intently, waiting for her to get to the part that I had to help her with as the current queen and the only one who could truly free Ethan. Behind me, I felt other pack members move into place, blocking Ethan's path, should he try to retreat. "Now, Moon Goddess,"
Blue. Ethan's eyes were blue again, the same shade as our baby's! Ethan grunted and tried to push himself up but failed. I could tell he was still very weak. He looked around us a bit confused and lowered his head to look at his own hands. It worked! He was himself again! "Rosalie, you...." Et
I watched him lying next to me without any words and couldn't hide the hurt I was feeling. I didn't know what to think. He hadn't even asked me to forgive him for what he had done to me. At the very least, I expected him to apologize, but he said nothing at all. 'Your Majesty, how are you feeling

The entire family had gathered in the dining room and was chatting amiably over a very impressive spread that had been laid out by the kitchen–two prime rib roasts, a honeyed ham, and three roast ducks were the centerpieces of the table, all of which were being enjoyed liberally by everyone.George
RowanMom ran her fingers across Selene's head, admiring her fine white hair. She looked every ounce the doting grandmother instead of a ball of uncertainty, like Maeve. Maeve was pacing back and forth near the fall wall of my bedroom, her arms folded across her chest and her head bent as she tried
Kacidra joined in the conversation. "Maeve is right, Rowan. We need to know what's happening with you and Hanna, or else we'll never be able to help."Rosalie's voice was calm and supportive as she asked, "Is it Hanna that's troubling you, son? Is she doing all right?My first instinct was to tell t
Gemma and Ernest had flown down with my parents and their son George, who was just two months older than Maeve's sons.A moment later, the library door opened and more of our family members poured in, as if they were fully aware of the thoughts I'd just had and I'd summoned them. I pushed aside my n
RowanThe castle was abuzz with its usual day-to-day activities. Servants and maids passed me in the hallway carrying baskets of laundry and trays of tea. I could hear the clattering of cookware as I left my office and walked toward the grand staircase off the foyer, seeing the door to the servants'
"Who? What happens?""There's so much more out there," Mara said dreamily. "So, so much more.""Maeve!" Troy called from down the beach.I turned to look at him, and when I turned back to Mara, she had taken off. "Wait!" I called after her, but she had already made it out of earshot, her footsteps l
Best of all, Troy was happy. He was at peace and at home. But there was still much work to be done.We were spending several weeks jumping from island to island, taking stock of the wellbeing of the inhabitants, and making a list of what was needed. Most of the islands were in need of medicine, inf
Maeve–Four Months LaterSuntra was not what I was expecting. I had become accustomed to the seemingly endless white-sand beaches of Avondale, where the sand grit was so fine it felt like powdered sugar as you walked barefoot in the surf. Suntra's sand was coarse and golden and dappled with tidepool
I straightened up a bit, shifting Oliver's weight in my arms as I narrowed my eyes back at him, sizing him up. A man roughly my father's age came bounding out of their house, waving at me apologetically as he leaned to whisper harshly in the ear of the man I assumed was his father.Whatever his son
