ログインNatashaI step out of my tent, fully dressed for the day, and nearly run smack into Sebastian. We both pull back at the last second, and I feel highly aware of close we came to touching.“Sorry,” I mutter.“My fault,” he mutters back. “I was just coming to find you.”I raise my eyebrows in surprise.
Owen“What the…” Diego sputters out as I slam the door behind us. I’ve brought us into the music room which is empty save for a smattering of instruments.I stare Diego down more intensely than I mean to. “What of Natasha?”My brother seems immediately on his guard. “What of her?”“Did they believe

I scramble for that reason now.“That’s not what I meant,” I bite through gritted teeth. “I don’t know how we could have had all those indications of being mates if we’re not, but the bond between us has faded and the marking never took. If we’re going to talk about indications, then we have to cons
Owen“So, brother,” I let out a heavy sigh as my brother appears at my side as I walk down the hall of the palace. “I hear you’ve got that delicious little pet of yours training with the guards.”My wolf growls at Diego’s use of the word “delicious”, at the idea that he might know what my Amelia tas
AmeliaHe didn’t come back.I listened to his door opening and closing, followed by one set of feet rushing down the hall.They walked right past my door.Either he forgot or it was Ava who left his room. I hoped for the latter.I wake up to the morning light brightening my room, my drapes not havin
Owen“I gave you three days,” Father chastises as Diego weighs down the four corners of a map of our kingdom on the conference table in front of us. Not one of the three of us has sat yet.No matter Father’s disappointed façade, I know he’s eyeing the same things I am: Diego’s black eye, his cut lip
