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

*Shelby* I don’t want to be angry at my husband. I know his duties as the king’s Beta, but I do wish he could be more assertive at times. Killing a defenseless woman would be a good place to draw the line of loyalty, right? I shake the thoughts out of my head. It does make sense that he would want
*Rose* I find myself walking around with one hand over my abdomen because I know that there’s a tiny person inside of me. I know that this is the reality I am experiencing now, that I have fulfilled my duty and become pregnant. Yet, I’m still having trouble wrapping my mind around it. There is a
“Well, we all knew that would happen. I mean, she will just return to her home after having the baby. I know her home is not an ideal or lovely place, but we can’t equate her going back home to a death sentence,” she says as she tries to pull her hand away from my grasp. “The king doesn’t want her
“You’ll make them like me?” Emily asks. “Can you order them to?”I want to laugh at her. Why does she think that’s how life works? “I’ll see what I can do,” I reply.She smiles for the first time since she came into my office. “I am the prettiest,” she declares.I nod. “Of course, you are.
