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

AmeliaI am in shock.I am in shock while the Alpha King summons a couple guards and two Omegas to escort me to the palace prison. I am in shock while the guards jerk me to my feet, the king back to pretending I don’t exist. I am in shock while Ava offers me the smuggest expression I have yet seen o
