LOGINThe Beta behind me growls at the threat in the Lycan’s voice and I stop breathing from the anticipation. “Eric, back down.” Ellen snaps as she strides forward. Eric lowers his head and steps back though it’s clear that’s the last thing he wants to do. “My queen, you have your meeting between your e
Anxiety is my closest companion these days. I’m starting to wonder if I will ever feel calm again. The only time I try to hide it this time is when Grace is around. She’s too perceptive though. She knows something is going on, but she doesn’t ask. The day of the meeting, nausea doesn’t allow me to
He seems to think a moment, looking at me with a mixture of concern and pride. “Alright, but if I get any sense at all that something isn’t right, I’m coming.” “Fine.” I agree, though it pains me to do so. By the satisfaction on his face, that man will look for any reason to crash that meeting. It

My heart is thundering. I should have waited to ask Adrian about this. I’ve been through so much today already. I’m not sure I have it in me to hear this right now. I’m confused, but I’m relieved and overjoyed at the same time. Finding out I was Julian’s mate had come with a sense of dread. Like I
My heart is pounding in my chest. As Adrian and I run toward the man calling for him, I prepare myself for bearing witness to the worst nightmare of my life or the end to the one I’m currently living.
