Masuk“It hurt to look at you, Ellie.” He swallows, “You were my best friend.” “And you guys were my only friends,” I huff. “I know me and you were just fucking around, but I loved you then.” I shake my head. “And you just went and chose my enemy. That hurt, I didn’t want to show my face anywhere where I
Something flashes in his gaze, something that seems to clear up some of the confusion in his eyes. “This scenery. Was it outside the museum?” I nod, “Yeah. So you did get that.” “Not from you, but from Audrey.” He hisses. “She must have started taking our letters then.” The dots connect, and he f
“No,” he swallows, his hand nearly crumpling the paper. “These are the ones that never got to us.” I pause. “What do you mean?” “When you stopped suddenly writing to me.” “Stopped writing to you?” I frown, a familiar ache building in my chest. I've had enough triggering conversation points for to
AELIANA “Dungeon?” I frown. The last place I expect to find Kingston is in Audrey’s bedroom, but that’s exactly where he is. I’m upset, I’m about to crack his skull for being in here while I was waiting in my room. “Why are you sending her to the dungeon?” I ask, watching Seraphine and Rowan walk
“And you too shall be punished for your silence,” I tell her. The only reason she started talking was that she saw how my patience ran out with Audrey. For all I know, they did this together.

My answer is instant, obvious. “She changed, and the things she did—” “Forget them,” Dad groans, his tone bored. “Aeliana is going to be your Luna. You will marry her, and only her if you desire for the handover to proceed as planned.” My eyes shift to Mom and she nods, of course she’d agree with
KINGSTON I spent the entire night trying to make sense of my life. Every time I tried to fall asleep, images of Aeliana flooded my mind. Sometime years ago, the choice would have been easy, I wouldn’t have thought twice, but today, the choice weighs heavily on me. My wolf wants Aeliana, I want t
AELIANA I should have never come back to Mooncrest. I was having a full-blown panic attack when I stormed out of the hall, and the next thing I knew, a strange woman was looking over me. I fainted. I couldn’t self-regulate so my body shut down, it’s been a while since this has happened to me.
KINGSTON My wolf has been restless over the last few days, asking for his mate, and tonight, he made a show of having me walk around in search of a mate that doesn’t exist. I’m past mating age, I was sure I was going to have to choose a mate, and I have though unmarked but she’s my choice. My
