Mate bonds.” He says, as if trying out the word. “Actually…” “What did you want to speak about?” I demand. They’re
“Let’s meet at the institution to further discuss. There’s a lot I can’t say over the phone.” She says, “Just call me when you get here.” And with that, the line goes dead. Maddox and I share a look, and I shake my head. I don’t like the sound of Evelyn’s tone. I’ve been uneasy about Aeliana being
“The doctors don’t think it’s a good idea for her to leave, much less after her escape.” “I didn't like leaving her there,” Maddox groans. “She seemed done.” His voice drops, “She didn’t even fight it like last time.” “It’s a good thing, is it not?” Danielle frowns. “No,” he sighs. “It’s worrying
I see my knees push up, and he positions himself between my legs again. The realisation of what is about to happen makes terror explode in my veins. I don’t know where I get it from, but feeling returns in my body. My leg jolts with a force, and I dive my knee into his chest. He staggers enough for

“The maid?” Rowan frowns, his disbelief accurate for the first time since he entered this kitchen. “Yes,” I sigh, that jealousy seeping into my bones now. Before I know it, I’m wondering why not about me? “Audrey hit her maid, and Aeliana snapped.” “See, I told you we needed cameras around the pac
KINGSTON When Aeliana storms out, I let her go. I give her time to let her anger simmer while I handle the situation. My brother had warned me that this would eventually happen, but I hadn’t banked on it, seeing neither Audrey nor Aeliana like violence. I send Audrey to the healer with her assista
“Babe?” I scoff, my eyes shifting between them. “Is that what you’re still calling my mate? My husband?” “Aeliana, calm, down,” Kingston says, his tone commanding.
