LOGINNatashaI 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

OwenI throw Ava out of my room with more dignity than she deserves. I’m seething, but I have this aching sorrow growing in my chest, too. Almost like abandonment.It doesn’t take long for me to realize it’s not my feeling. And even less time before a nervous, disembodied voice sounds within my room

Amelia“How can you say that?” I’m fighting this feeling inside me practically screaming at me that this is true, that I’m Owen’s mate.But it’s impossible. “Doesn’t the fact that you were drugged negate everything?”Owen is frustratingly gorgeous as he stares at me so tenderly with his honey eyes,
