Charlie's P.O.V. My fur did little to keep me warm that night. I had been expecting it to be chilly without a tent or a blanket, and it was. But the way my body shook was more than just from the weather. I felt like I was going through withdrawal. Damien let out a low whine before moving to my sid
My body ached as I worked up to a run. The stiff joints and muscles from sleeping on the ground took several minutes to work out and loosen up. Yet, the pain inside my chest didn't go away. With each step away from Damien, it got worse. I knew I was doing the right thing but wasn't happy about it.
I snorted in his direction before struggling to get the bag off my back and over my head. Heath was no help. He watched in amusement as I freed myself but turned away respectfully as I quickly pulled on the one outfit I had refused to wear unless needed. The top was a beautiful green, designed by t
Damien's P.O.V. It all made sense now... the comments Charlotte made about people wanting to manipulate and use her, the towns going wild with excitement or anger when people recognized her, and needing to use a different name. Even the way she carried herself, so confident and poised. She had the
Charlotte could have anyone in the world, and I knew she should mate a nobleman and produce strong lycan babies like her people expected. Not hybrids who could end up being either a wolf or a bear. Still, the selfish part of me demanded that she return home so I could fill her with my babies and we
I loathed that I had used my dislike for them as one of the reasons not to give Charlotte a chance when we first met. "Charlotte is not a toy, and I warn you now, Mother. You need to decide what is more important to you, having me in your life or holding onto your hatred for a species you never eve
Charlie's P.O.V.Heath promised to stop by another day with his mate, Aria, to catch up after I had a chance to settle in. But by the way that heads bowed when someone spotted us sneaking around buildings to get to the closest inn, I knew it was only a matter of time before Killian would hear of my
It was time to return as the princess, and washing away my current life to fit into the too-small shoes forced on me was the first step. As I pulled on the last fresh pair of clothes from my bag, I had to resist the urge to flop face-first down on the bed and sleep the day away. Instead, I cracked

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
