LOGIN“That is very kind, your highness,” I said.I glanced at Marcus. He was grinning. This was all his idea, I could tell. 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

GideonI was willing to overlook Clara’s recent actions. She was confused and frightened. It only made sense that she would try to run.The butler reported that the cleaning maids had collected a modest pile of supplies from the hall outside of Clara’s room. She had taken only a few essentials. Beca
I had tried a few times to explain that I felt no bond to Clara. My wolf insisted that I wasn’t paying enough attention.I decided to go and check on her. Maybe if I talked to her, my wolf would calm down.I went to her room and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Was she asleep? It was la
