When Kai uncovers the buried truths of his family’s heritage, his destiny takes him to the mist-shrouded highlands of Scotland—where blood ties are power, and ancient oaths still burn. To save Adelie, he must challenge the reigning king and confront the darkness entwined with his own lineage. But as betrayal festers in the shadows and allies turn uncertain, Kai’s journey becomes one of self-discovery and sacrifice. The awakening of his true power reveals a legacy far greater—and more dangerous—than he ever imagined. When the demon wolf Hati rises from the afterlife to hunt his unborn heir, Kai faces his ultimate trial. To protect his bloodline and the woman he loves, he must relinquish everything—his title, his future, and his heart—and embrace the destiny written in his blood.

From the airport, it was roughly, just under a 2-hour drive to Cochem.Adelie took in the views as they entered the town. She had never before been to Germany, and she knew by now, Kai would have found her letter. She would have married him without a second thought if she thought it could save her from this arranged marriage.She still wasn’t sure what they would do once they realized she had completed the imprinting bond. She held her breath as they started up the slight incline, heading toward the castle situated on a hill overlooking the town and the Mossel river.The car came to a halt in the courtyard, and Gunter opened the door, and climbed out. He made his way to open the door across from the SUV, and another man, wearing a suit, held his hand out for Adelie. She took it, and he helped her from the car; two other men were carrying the
“I’ve heard of the royal families, but me?” The disbelief was evident on my face.“All royals ascend the throne on their 21st birthdays. Prince Rupprecht will turn 21 on the full moon in December, he will take his rightful seat, and marry Adelie on the same night,” Edmund said.“This doesn’t make any sense, why didn’t anyone come for my father, or my grandfather, to ascend the throne?” I asked him.“We were unaware that the St. Claire line had survived. You are now of age to ascend, and you are the rightful Crown Prince of Scotland,” Ashton said.“So if you knew about all this, why didn’t you stop Adelie from being taken?” I asked them, angrily.“It was not within our rights to interfere. There is a marriage treaty in place, but as a crowned royal, you will have more power,” Edmund said.“So what happens now?” I asked him. I was still struggling to wrap my mind around everything he’d told me.“You will come to Scotland with us and take back your seat, by force,” he said.“What do you
Adelie left Kai’s house quietly. It was 3 a.m. when she drove back to Kiran’s house. She noticed the car that stayed behind her. It didn’t follow her up the dirt road, and she sighed with relief. She would be 19 in September, but they would come for her before then.The house was quiet as she made her way upstairs and packed a suitcase. She loaded the suitcase into the car’s trunk and went back inside. She had just gotten out of the shower when she heard Kiran’s footsteps. It was 5 a.m.At 6:30, Adelie went downstairs and smiled cheerfully at Jace. “Morning.”“Good morning, my cuddly unicorn,” Jace said, with a smile as he sat down at the counter.“You look like you need coffee,” Adelie said, and Jace sighed.“I do, sweetie pie, that man is going to be the death of me,” Jace said, and giggled. Adelie made coffee for both of them. She needed to leave by 7, that way she wouldn’t raise any suspicion.“Morning,” Kiran said, as he exited the hallway from his study, dressed in a suit.“Hey,
I had spent four months with Kari, the real Kari, and now, I had only had six months with Adelie. She had been a slave for five years, and I’d rescued her from that life. I fought our imprinting for months, and now I’d lost her,too. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I knew she struggled with her past, but I had no idea just how much. Was I that shallow? How could I not see how much she hated belonging to me. Things didn’t match up. How could she love me and still not want me? I couldn’t imagine my life without her.I unlocked the side door, knowing that tomorrow morning, Falcon would be in my kitchen. I froze as the door closed behind me. I hadn’t smelled their scents. Two men stood on the other side of the kitchen table and looked at me.The flames leapt into my hands, and the anger was evident in my eyes. I’d been too preoccupied with my own pain to realize that there were intruders in my house. I could smell the scent of wolf on them and they seemed unimpressed with the flames in
I stood in the garage and looked at Levi. What the hell was he talking about? Everyone just looked at me, and I couldn’t decipher the look in their eyes. I didn’t want their pity. I wanted answers! I needed answers.“What do you mean, there’s not much?” I yelled at Levi.“Have you checked her room? Did she pack a suitcase?” Levi asked. His eyes were calmly holding mine, refusing to let me look away as I took in his questions. Checked her room? Packed a suitcase? What the hell was he talking about?Jace turned away abruptly, and walked back into the house. I could hear his footsteps as he went up the stairs, probably two at a time. Levi had a hand on my shoulder, and I blinked, looking into his gray eyes.“Jace would know if anything was missing.”I nodded my head. He was close with Adelie, but the thought of her just leaving didn’t make sense in my head. She’d given me her virginity the night before; she let us complete our imprinting. Our bond was stronger than ever before. Nothing a
Happiness, true happiness lies within yourself. It’s what people tell you when that happiness is taken away. It’s what you tell yourself trying to fill the emptiness in your soul. I had been happy. For six months, my life had been complete bliss. It was the kind of happiness that lets you wake up with a smile on your face and keeps that smile there.My life was perfect, in every sense of the word. It was something I never thought I would have again. It was something I told myself I didn’t want, until her. Adelie had finally given in to me. She’d let me in and allowed me to get to know her.I had my parents’ blessings, I had Falcon, my best friend, and my Beta. Saga was happily settled in with William, and even Tala had smiled at me twice. I knew Kiran was happy that I wanted to propose to Adelie, they all loved her, even Tala.Kiran told me that I would propose before the end of the year, and I could only smile, because he’d been right. Again. Kiran had seen me struggle for two years,
