The hairs on the back of my neck stood as his lips brushed against mine. The warmth in his eyes made butterflies swarm in my stomach, and I pushed myself up on the balls of my feet to close the distance between us. I knew he must feel the same way I did, that the feelings between us ran deeper than either of us had admitted to. "Ember?”A man's voice made me pull back, and I turned to meet Tristan's eyes…my mate's eyes. They were full of hurt and betrayal. As if he hadn't rejected me when he found out I, a lowly Omega, was his mate. I told myself to never look back, and I won't let him bring me down again, so I averted my eyes. "Ember is no longer your concern. Get lost.” Dex growled, arm around me in a possessive way. His Alpha command making Tristan grit his jaw before the wolf beside him grabbed his arm and pulled him away to prevent him from causing a scene. I pushed down the churning in my stomach and smiled up at Dex, wanting to pick up where we left off, to show him how much he meant to me… how good we could be together, but I froze as he spoke. "No one is looking now. You can take your hands off me." His words washed over me like a bucket of ice water, though they were just low enough that no one else would hear, saving me from public humiliation. Dex pulled himself from my touch, turned, and walked away. Right, I shouldn't have wanted more. I was just his fake mate and needed to remember my place.

I had anticipated the worst when I first turned to the Fae to train me on my magic, but the tension melted away after a couple of sessions. The more I got to know my great aunt… well, the
His heart was too fast for my liking, and I knew this upset him more than he would admit. “I’ll come home to you. I promise. It’s only for a few days to start my training.” I pressed a long kiss to his chest before wrapping my arms around his waist. “When have I ever not chosen you?” From the be
“Today, one of our pack members, the ringleader of this group, was killed during an attempt at taking my life. Before she died, I was able to extract a list of names from her. I have the names of everyone she has been working with, and I want to assure all of you now that I will do everything necess
EMBER I was in shock, stunned by what I had done and how easily the darkness had taken over. Once the guards had rushed in and moved between me and Jensen, I fell to my knees. Dex had run for me, not caring about anything else in his hurry to ensure my safety. His touch brought me back, his arms
EMBER I gasped as Dex crashed into me, the impact sending me to the floor. His warm body was on top of mine, shielding me from her attack, and I cried out as the heavy metal of a chain hit the top of my head before Dex was pulled away. My hand instinctively flew to my hairline, covering the stin
“And you thought the best solution would be to make everyone think Dex had done it?” Ember asked, disbelief thick in her tone. “He was starting to wake up, and it was my only choice. I grabbed a handful of the dirt beneath him that he had been bleeding on and sprinkled it around her.” Jensen’s voi
“Dex! You have to believe me! Jensen is lying! He is behind all of this!” Caroline walked forward until the chain stopped her, rubbing her throat as she flashed her wide, puppy-dog eyes. “She’s been blackmailing me,” Jensen explained. Caroline pulled her leg back before kicking forward again. Wh
DEX “Clear the room.” I snapped, and the guards made their way to the door. I knew they would find themselves on the other side of the double-sided glass wall where Nolan, Alec, and Thea were sure to be watching. It wouldn’t surprise me if other pack members heard about their Beta being interroga
“How could you do this to Paige?” Caroline screamed, “She is rolling in her grave knowing that you betrayed her with a Fae!” “That is enough, Caroline.” Dex snapped, but the woman didn’t hear him. She knew she was getting to him, and I didn’t know how to calm him without stepping out of line. He di
