Sparks danced over my body, and a laugh of surprise left my lips. I had smelled him for myself. Even with Barley telling me that Damien had come after me, a small part of me hadn't fully believed it. The only people who had ever chased after me were my nannies, and that was because they had been get
I nodded. I knew it all too well. There was nothing about that world that made me happy either, but it was my duty to step up should anything happen.Still, his happiness was important to me, and I had to consider how I would live if, after I marked him, I had to let him go so he could be happy or i
Charlie's P.O.V.That night we slept curled around each other, but it was different than the time before when he had first found out who I was. This time, instead of frustration and anger, the air felt colder, and my heart hurt from the sadness and longing that stemmed from our conversation. I knew
"My mother is still alive. We just told the people she was dead because we knew she wouldn't come out of her coma," I said. Damien stared at me, unaffected by my words. Of course, he wouldn't care that the previous queen wasn't dead. He had grown up hating my kind, specifically my family. I grimace
I was tempted to treat this like a Band-Aid and rip everything off. I could tell him about Xander too, but it already felt like too much. It was too painful. It surprised me when Damien wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest. He leaned against the tree, and I moved with him, enjoyi
Charlie's P.O.V. Natalie had been sweet. She was still a little closed off and seemed uneasy around me, but I figured once I got to know her, things would be more comfortable between us. She was going to be my sister, so we would have to be able to get along when I came to visit. If things stayed t
"His Majesty, King Killian Amery, and Her Highness, Natalie Matthews." I knew from experience not to let anyone stop me until I was by the food table. Once I was surrounded, they wouldn't let me leave quickly. At least by the food, I could have dinner and use a mouthful of food as a reason not to a
The sea of people parted as my men walked through. Paxton led the way, winking or flirting with every woman he passed, mated or not. The rest of the men looked on edge and so uncomfortable that I wanted to laugh. Barley even still had his sword strapped to his back, and his face was tight like he w

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
