Natalie's P.O.V. I was grateful that Killian let us take the cars. I didn't want to be carried again, whether it was like a sack of flour or cradled to his chest. It made me feel weak, and I didn't want to return to my family and be seen as anything other than a queen. My eyes were locked on the p
"Stay here," Killian insisted as his eyes turned black, signaling that someone was mind-linking him. My eyes stayed locked on him as he strode around the front of the car with the confidence of a king, stopping when he reached my door. I sat up straight, lifting my chin just before he pulled open t
Natalie's P.O.V. The door had been ripped clean from the frame and was now leaning up against it as a barricade against the elements. The front window had a large hole in the left side that had webbed through the rest of the glass. I wrapped my arms around my torso as I approached, terrified that

Killian's P.O.V. I could feel the others staring at us as I froze beneath my little mate's touch. Her warm body pressed against my beastly form was the last thing I had expected. She didn't seem scared or disgusted by me. The relief coming from her allowed me to relax, and I gently let my arms wrap
Natalie's P.O.V. Tobias grunted as I turned to him and let out a deep breath. My eyes felt dry, and my smile fell as soon as Killian was gone. It finally made sense why I felt so connected to him... why I felt like something was missing when he wasn't around. But what I was feeling now was more tha
