LOGINI look at Shelby. “Shelby… why?” She looks like she’s about to burst, and she finally spits it out. “Because I’m pregnant!” My eyes go wide, and I want to grab her and jump up and down, but I don’t want to squish Reeva, so I do a milder equivalent of that, which involves one arm and bouncing more
Rose It feels strange going back to Castle Dark Forest, and it’s going to feel even weirder being there again. It’s been so long since I first arrived there for the stupid contest… well, I guess without that contest, I would have never met my Alphas, so I suppose I won’t call it stupid anymore. I
Eli seems only half-convinced, and once Kelly and this guy are finally separated, he clears his throat.“I’m going to need the name of the guy who just sucked face with my sister,” he says firmly. “And I need to know where you’re from, and whether you have a criminal record, and—”Kelly slaps Eli’s
RoseI can’t believe how much the Goddess has blessed me. I remember all the times I was hunched over on the floor of the sewage plant trying to force myself to breathe through my mouth to avoid the stench. It didn’t work very well. I also remember all those lonely nights in my high school years whe

*Rose* I sit at the small table in my room and look at the words in the book in front of me without fully comprehending the text. All I see are letters and words splayed throughout the page. Stabbing pain on the left side of my lower abdomen makes me wince. I can’t help but make a faint moaning sou
I think she’s crazy, that’s what I think. I think… in the end… I will end up alone with only the memories of these amazing men to keep me warm at night–and this stupid vibrator. That night, in Eli’s room, he can tell I’m upset. We sit on his couch, and he holds me against his muscular chest, strok
Someone else is going to take care of my child! Someone else is going to rock my baby to sleep each night. Someone else is going to be there when my child says his or her first words. It will not be me that my baby calls, “Mama.” It will not be me that my baby walks to on unsteady legs when they
All of a sudden, an idea strikes me. “The king can’t just get rid of Rose. The baby will need to be breastfed for a few years after it is born, so she will have to stay,” I announce, and I see everyone’s face light up with renewed hope. “Yes, you are correct.
