LOGINI love Greyson! He is so fun to write
REMI’S P.O.V.I didn’t think twice as Greyson set a plate of food in front of me, and I began to pick at it distractedly.My mother wasn’t a wolf.I wasn’t a wolf… not a full one anyway. My pack’s hatred for me had never fully made sense to me before.So what if I didn’t shift on time? I had shifter blood and was the Alpha’s daughter, and even then, most of them never treated me like I was one of them.But now it all made sense.Did they know I was a half-breed, or had they been able to sense that I wasn’t one of them?“My father should have told me,” I whispered, staring at the granite countertop as I thought back to all the times I tried to ask him about my mother. He would grow angry, violent even, screaming at me not to bring her up again, reminding me that she abandoned me, and throwing things or slamming doors on his way out.I had learned pretty quickly not to bring it up unless I was trying to make him mad.“There must be a reason why he didn’t,” Greyson said, tilting his head
REMI’S P.O.V.I had a wolf.After years of my pack and father tearing me down for being wolfless, she was here.She was here, and I couldn’t even enjoy it because she had been whimpering in agony from the moment we shifted.The deep desire she had to have our mate shift with us, curl up around us and comfort us, and to be love was crushed by the knowledge that he had been using us.This wasn’t how this was supposed to go. This wasn’t how mates were supposed to treat each other.He was supposed to love and want us, to claim and protect us, standing by our side proudly.Not looking down on us from his office with HER by his side.Just remembering the way he had held her hand on his arm as he stared down at her softly made me sick.My wolf was furious as she saw it for herself after hearing everything Ellowyn had said, but then she retreated. The betrayal was too much for her after using all of our energy to shift for the first time.It was well into the night when I heard Greyson start
MALRIC’S P.O.V.She hadn’t moved in hours.From my office window, I could still see her white fur glistening in the evening sunlight as she lay curled up in a ball in the far corner of the garden. I had watched her run until her legs gave out, and she dragged herself the rest of the way.Her wolf would be weak for a while, but seeing her struggle was still hard.Greyson sat a short distance away, his back against a tree, giving her space. When he had tried to get closer, she had turned her head and snapped at him in anger.For a moment, I had been filled with jealousy because she hadn’t been scared of him like she had been of me.The longer I watched her from behind the glass, the more frustrated I was becoming.We had been fine just this morning. She had curled into my chest and had smiled up at me, sighing when I had given in to my wolf and kissed her forehead.No matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t find where I had gone wrong.How had we gone from last night to her looking at me
MALRIC’S P.O.V.Keeping my distance from Remi had failed miserably. It had only been a few days, yet every time I even considered finding a way to avoid her, my beast would rear up in anger at the idea.I felt like a damned fool, and I was no fool. I was the king, and I refused to lose control of my beast over a woman.I had been staring at the transfer paperwork for one of my pack members for far longer than was necessary, unable to focus on what I was reading.Dropping the paper, I stood to stretch my legs when a sharp pain sliced through me and my palms dropped to the desk.It was excruciating, yet as I clawed at my chest and found no wound, panic filled me.Was it a curse? Had that damned witch in the dungeon gotten free?My beast began pacing inside of me, pushing forward as if he were trying to get me to move, urging me to let him take control and lead me to the danger that I couldn’t see.It was different from anything I had ever felt from him before.He wasn’t bloodthirsty or a
REMI’S P.O.V.A deep rumbling vibrated against my ear, pulling me back to consciousness, and I smiled as I buried my face against the warm body holding me to them.Their arms tightened around me in response, and I let out a content sigh before I realized what I was doing and my eyes snapped open.I was cuddling with Malric… if this could be called that.My cheeks burned hot as I took in our position. One of his arms was wrapped tightly around my waist while the other was beneath my head, holding me against his chest. My leg had found its way between his, and my arms were curled up between us, pressing every inch of our bodies together, as if I were trying to become part of him.Slowly, I lifted my head and looked up at his face, finding his eyes still closed and his dark hair falling messily across his forehead.He looked so peaceful that it was hard to believe that he was the terrifying Lycan King.He was just Malric. My Malric.The thought made my stomach flutter, my body growing un
REMI’s P.O.V.The bed dipping beside me made me stir, and I blinked a few times as I took in the dark room.It took everything in me not to fall back asleep when I realized it was still night, but I knew I wasn’t alone. I could feel Malric’s presence in the room, and couldn’t resist rolling over to face him.He sat on the edge of the bed with his back to me, his elbows on his knees. He looked tense and stressed, not reacting at all to my moving, as if he hadn’t even realized I was awake yet.My hand itched to reach out and touch him, to try to offer any comfort I could, but I knew that was just the mate bond talking.He and I weren’t there yet, and I was surprised he had even come to our room. He hadn’t slept here last night, so to see him here now was shocking.My heart felt like it wanted to flip in my chest when I noticed he was in nothing but shorts, his back bare for me to see. Even in the darkness, I could see the scars that littered his skin and the way his muscles tensed and m
