“I chased after a man I knew was mated and expecting a baby. That’s not who I am. What’s wrong with me?” Mia asked more to herself than to Lucas. Lucas sighed and sat beside her on the bench, staring down at his hands as if he expected the answers to her questions to be written on them. “Sometim

I glared, my wolf surging forward and an intimidating manner, making the man before me flinch. He was bound to a chair with silver cuffs, making him weak and impossible to shift into his wolf.“Then why did I find these photographs in your belongings?” I asked, holding up a few photos of the royal f

“Is Xaden on his way?” I asked, changing the subject and talking about something that really mattered… my mate.The guard stared at the ground for a moment, trying to figure out what to say which confused me. It was a simple answer that didn’t require much thought.“He’s been alerted of the situatio

Leonora paled at the thought as she wrapped her arms around her body. The thought of someone she trusts working with the enemy gave her a creepy feeling like she was being watched at that very moment.“What are we to do?” She finally asked after a beat of silence.“Henry thinks we could pool togethe
