Natalie's P.O.V. The hot water pounded on my back as I stood in Killian's arms beneath the spray of the shower. I didn't want to talk to him about it. The horrors of that world were too much for any living creature to have to experience. I could still feel the chill that had settled deep into my b
"Natalie." One of the guards shifted their stance, moving weight from one leg to another, and my eyes shot up to him. I had seen him around before, standing closer to Killian's office, but I didn't know who he was. His eyes stayed glued above our heads as he remained alert and aware. Could he see
"I am familiar with it. It was the late king's crown." My mother continued to stare at Killian as she spoke next, and I felt goosebumps rise along my skin. "Your father had demanded to be buried in it." "You knew my father well?" Charlie chimed in, but I could see that she was uncomfortable. "I kn
Killian's P.O.V She didn't sleep last night, so I didn't sleep. I hated that she was scared, and I held her to my chest as her heart raced away with fear. Every few minutes, despite being in my arms, she would move her hands along my skin as if she were making sure I was still there and alive. Onc
Joselin and I made eye contact momentarily in silent agreement that once Talia was dealt with, Rona would have to go too. Rona didn't have to say it for everyone in the room to know it was how she had killed her own mother. The pride on her face said it for her. "How long would it take?" I asked,
Natalie's P.O.V. It was time. The war was here… or rather, we were going to it. There were a lot of people depending on me not to fail. I couldn't stay in that room. If I did, I would want to touch Killian, to know that I was safe and hadn't been transported back to the darkness. I needed to fig
"Darkness runs free." I looked around, spinning to see Thomas's back to me as he stood protectively behind me, but there was nothing else here with us. The shadow men were absent, and the hallway stayed brightly lit in color. "I don't understand. Bound in the blood, darkness runs free. What does t
Natalie's P.O.V. The tension in the room was so thick that I felt like we were swimming in it. Charlie's glare was locked on me, and I matched it with as much anger as I could muster. Killian was fuming as he sat behind his desk, staring at us like a father about to scold his daughters instead of

That was fine by me.I didn't want her anywhere near him either.I let out a low chuckle, feeling proud of the spot I had selected for this, as the sound echoed off the rock wall on one side and bounced between the trees on the other.Xander's eyes widened, and he began to pull harder. I had left th
Damien's P.O.V. - Seven months laterIt was almost too easy.He was nervous, his head turning back and forth as he scanned the area, but he wouldn't see me. Not until I wanted him to, at least.He knew I was out here, and if he were smart, he would know what was coming.I didn't have much time as Ch
I knew he had a lot of work to do after the war, and the fact that he took time out of his schedule to come here today meant the world to me. "There is nowhere else that I should be today." He smiled, and I nodded as I glanced back at Natalie. She was looking at her mate with all the love in the wo
Charlie's P.O.V. I hadn't been expecting it to happen so soon. I wanted it to, but Elder Artis and Damien managed to have the ceremony prepared in three weeks, just in time for the full moon. My hands shook as I stood in Eden's den. The short white dress I wore had been borrowed from Olli and mad
Eden went inside as Damien and Olli fawned over the new addition to their sleuth, and I tensed as I noticed Elder Artis approaching. I hadn't seen her with the others who had shown up to welcome us, and I wondered if we were about to have a repeat of my first visit here.Damien didn't look up as his
Charlie's P.O.V.Even though I was walking into the den of angry bears, who had wanted nothing to do with me previously, the scent of Damien's sleuth was comforting. It wasn't my home, but he was, and I loved his scent.I wasn't sure what I had been expecting, but to see everyone outside with Eden W
All of the men were present and solemn. "What happened?" I hesitated, letting out a deep breath when Marlene pushed through the swinging kitchen door with a tray of drinks, smiling at me warmly like everything was right in the world. Everyone looked healthy but unhappy as she passed out the mugs o
