There were five of them, and Charlotte's hand touched my back as I watched them search the room, checking the windows, doors, and every shadow. It was invasive but necessary. I moved with her as she went to grab her robe, covering herself before leading me to the couch, where we sat for the next f
Charlie's P.O.V. The last thing I wanted was to attend dinner with Natalie. I was happy to see that she was physically unharmed, but I hated that she had been targeted by our enemies. She hadn't deserved it. Still, it didn't excuse her lunging for my mother like that and threatening to kill her.
"I knew him through Talia, but I was not close with him nor your mother." Aurora looked unbothered, but I sat up straighter. If she was so close to Talia, then maybe she shouldn't be trusted. My eyes flickered to Joselin, wondering if her trapping runes around the castle worked or if they had been p
Damien's P.O.V.Queen Natalie seemed to be doing better. Over the past two days, she was more alert and engaged in conversations, but it wasn't lost on anyone that she never strayed further than an arm's length away from King Killian. Charlotte was worried about her, but I also knew she was getting
My mother knew the terms I had laid out for her. When she was ready to accept that Charlotte would be in my life and move past her hatred for her kind, she had to come to me. And she did. My mother was standing before me, having traveled farther away from the sleuth than I ever expected, and she h
Charlie's P.O.V. I thought I had been doing better. I thought I was growing and becoming a better sister and friend. Yet, this morning, I woke up, and all of my anger and resentment from my childhood, parents, brother, and Natalie rose to the surface with a vengeance. It was all-consuming, threate
"Calm down, Charlotte. Everything is fine," I said to myself, but when I lifted my hand to brush the hair out of my face, it was shaking. The sound of a throat clearing had me spinning around quickly to face the guard in the open doorway. "Forgive me, Your Highness, but can I get you something?" H
Killian growled when I moved to stand, and I bared my teeth at him for only a moment before his 'precious' mate spoke up. "You…" Her voice drove me crazy, feeding the voices in my head, proving them right. She was toxic and a kidnapper…possibly even a murderer. "You can be executed for harming a

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
