Any amount of time spent thinking I might never see him again is too much, and I’m still just so relieved I didn’t die falling off that cliff.That Lucas didn’t kill me for trying to escap
“A brace!” I cheer enthusiastically. “That’s so much better than the cast.”I turn toward Alexander, grinning. He looks equally as happy for me. Then his look turns reverent.“This is what we do,” he tells me. “Our mate bond heals us, and I know it will heal our kingdom, too. That’s why we should ha

I approach it cautiously, wading into its essence, like a thick mud of energy, tangled up inside me.Then I feel him. Alexander.It’s our mate bond. The one that only forms once the mates bed each other. Which is why I never had this with Lucas.I lean into the bond a bit, wondering if whatever the
EvelynI stand with my heart threatening to beat clear out of my chest as Alexander looks me over with those penetrating blue eyes. I feel so exposed beneath his gaze that I half expect him to find the truth hiding in the folds of my mind.Yet he clearly believed me based on the punishment that he d
EvelynI’m so relieved when one of the ministers proposes my expulsion. I work hard to hide my excitement that I’ll finally be able to leave the palace and return to my family.So it comes as quite a shock when the punishment the king lands on instead is having me clean the grand ballroom.In fact,
