LOGINDorian The prince didn’t react fast enough to stop Ellise from witnessing Aria’s display of raw power. She had pieced together the secret Dorian had tried to hide from his mate, and now he was in deep shit. When he had fed from her, he watched Aria’s eyes turn crimson, like his did when he was
That’s a ridiculous thought. Dorian’s voice crept into my mind, abrupt and leaving no room for a rebuttal. I was growing accustomed to communicating telepathically, which also concerned me since we hadn’t discussed this connection either. Jenkins had interrupted us beforeI could ask. It’s not r
Later that evening, I changed into a less revealing gown in an attempt to remain off of Ellise’s radar and allowed Dorian to the dining hall. He had acted strangely after dinner, seeming to have a mental debate with himself over something I didn’t understand. I left him alone to study his tomes, bri

I stared at the woman who insulted me, shocked that she even dared to say that when she had to be aware I was the prince’s pet. Anyone who insulted me insulted him, and Dorian was clear he wouldn’t stand for it. Maybe that’s why I found the backbone to say, “Why can’t I be here?” My response promp
My body trembled in Dorian’s arms, the foreign feeling taking over every sense I had. Dorian’s chest didn’t rise or fall. It was cold with no heartbeat that I could detect, yet I’d never felt more comforted.It wasn’t a high bar to surpass, considering the last time I was held like this was when I w
In the morning, I woke curled up against Dorian, my arms wrapped around his waist and head pressed against his chest. My legs were entwined with his, the coolness of his body soothing the warmth of mine. The events of yesterday were hazy, but all that mattered was that Dorian was okay again.His sca
