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
I stare down at Ellen’s hand, outstretched, reaching for me. Then I think about the man asleep upstairs. The one I just told I loved. I can’t leave either one of them. To lose one is to lose a part of myself. “I want to meet with more of the Lycans.” I say. “So far, the only one I’ve spoken to is

The next morning, I wake up to nerves, uncertainty, and regret. Regret that I let Julian push me into doing this and that I didn’t ask more questions before today. I text him again asking what I can expect. He still hasn’t answered my question from when I asked him yesterday. When he still hasn’t a
My stomach lurches and then plunges down through the floor. What can Julian possibly mean by that comment. He said it like he was teasing, but there was something about that look on his face that said he meant a lot more than that. After last night, he can’t possibly think that I’m ready to marry h
I walk into a beautiful room with the most lavish decorations I could ever hope to see. There was a time in my life, I never thought I would be in a place like this, much less as a guest.
