It was probably his idea of both showing that he accepted my choice, and getting just a little revenge at the same time. I grinned back at him. I was going to make him dance at my b
ClaraRonan and I returned to the werewolf castle to find it in a state of celebration. Someone passed us both goblets of wine without even checking who we were. I saw a glint of mischief in Ronan’s eyes.“Just because they’re lax with security doesn’t mean Marcus will let you get away with anything
