She needs to rest, and we’re not to be disturbed,” he ordered.Mason nodded his head. Out of the corner of Aurora’s eye, she caught the pair of us hea
Harper’s POV“Have you lost your mind?!” “Did she put you up to this??” “This is blasphemous! A blood bond hasn’t been initiated in over a hundred years!” “Clearly, this woman had poisoned the Alpha’s mind,” one of the council members announced. “He would never willingly choose to perform such a
Harper’s POV“I can’t believe I let you talk me into doing this,” Lucas grumbled. “It hasn’t even been two days since Calix was dealt with and you’re dragging us back here.”I playfully rolled my eyes at him as the two of us walked into the Council meeting hall. This time, it was I who called the me

“Ah,” I groan, stumbling back.Again, Lucas’s eyes turn bright gold as I rub the back of my shoulder. It aches, but not enough to be seriously hurt. Just a bruise, then. If I get injured worse, like before, I don’t think I’ll be able to heal. I’ll have to be more careful and not leave myself open fo
Harper’s POVWhy can’t I pull myself out of the dark hole I’ve fallen in? I pick up the flower Lucas gave me, the wilted and brown petals flopping limply as I take one last look at it.
