Any fear of what he might see in my eyes, of what he might be motivated to give up for my benefit once he sees my face, is outweighed by my need to see my mate.I lift my gaze, relief strengthening me with every step he takes closer. The sunligh
“You will not touch her again!” Alexander half yells and half growls. I can feel his self-control waning through our bond, his temptation to give up the entire kingdom just to cross the prairie and take me in his arms.Wait, I think. I know he can’t hear my thoughts, but I hope the sentiment transla
EvelynIt’s as if I can feel Alexander pounding on the edges of our connection, trying to get to me through it. I don’t know what exactly he’s responding to because I’m so focused on the threats in front of me—and now the one behind me.I turn quickly around to find Minister Coltain towering over me

The more we have sex, the harder it will be to resist the mate bond calling us together. I have to escape sooner rather than later.Alexander informs me that as his shikra, I no longer need to follow him around like I did as his maid. My energy is expected to be reserved for sex. The rest of the day
AlexanderI notice my sister pinning Evelyn to the mat across the arena mid-spar. Jealousy flares in my chest, distracting me enough that a guard manages to punch me in the gut.
