Out of all the things she could have said, I had not been expecting that.

Her mate?!

But... How?

She's my mate, not the mate of some asshole named Axel! I felt the first stirrings of anger and tamped it down.

"Your mate?" I asked in a calm voice. "How?"

Iris sniffed, and looked like she was trying to pull herself together to tell the story. I almost didn't want to hear it. I felt slightly sick. What if the reason she didn't want to stay in Silver Creek with me is because she's in love with this Axel guy?

What if she still considered him her mate and not me?

What then?

I'd have to kill him, and then she'll hate me and refuse to be with me either way.

Goddess.

"Growing up, I always had a bit of a crush on Axel," Iris said. "I fantasized about ending up with him and growing old together. But he didn't notice me. He had eyes only for my sister, Julietta. They were in love."

Okay. This didn't sound too bad.

"Axel left the pack for a while, and when he came back, I found out we we

    "Morwen!" I yelled, pounding on the front door of Morwen's house. "Morwen! Open up!"I didn't care who saw me or what they said. This was one errand I couldn't leave to guards or servants. I had to come here myself. I would go on my knees and beg if I had to. "Morwen!" Just as I raised my fist to pound on the door again, it was pulled open from the inside, and the woman I'd come to see stood there, staring at me."Your Majesty. What is it?" She asked blandly. "Morwen, please... I need your help. Cora... She's in labour and..." I trailed off. I didn't even fully understand what was going on, only that Cora was in danger. "And what?" Morwen asked. "You have a doctor. You don't need my help."She started to close the door. "There's no baby!" I blurted. She froze. "What?" "There's no baby," I repeated. "Or at least the doctor can't find it. She's in labour, Morwen. She's getting weaker, but there's no sign of the baby. It's more than the doctor can handle."Morwen's expression was

    Almost two months had passed since I'd been at death's door.I had no idea what really happened, but according to what Atlas told me, Morwen and the other witches had performed a ritual that was supposed to be forbidden. Everyone thought it was too dangerous, and that either I or my baby wouldn't survive it, but we did. However, since I woke up and recovered, I hadn't seen Morwen. Atlas said she was probably staying away because she had strongly advised against the ritual and didn't know how to face me. She'd also ignored all the letters I sent telling her I wanted to see her and thank her properly. I could technically go and see her myself, but Atlas would have an aneurysm if I even stepped one foot out of the palace. It was like his overprotectiveness had been cranked up a notch after my near brush with death. I rubbed at my lower back, putting more pillows underneath me so I could lean back. My stomach was so large that it felt like I was going to pop any day now, and I was re

    This wasn't supposed to happen. What kind of mate was I if I couldn't save the one woman that was my responsibility, my life? For that matter, what kind of king was I? All my life, I'd never known true powerlessness until now. Until I saw Cora lying helpless in a bed, a bucket beside her and another beside me.The first one was still.emoty because since she passed out, she hadn't woken up to throw up in it, and the one beside me was filled with cold water and a small towel which I used, trying to bring down her fever. It wasn't working. I'd long since sent for a few maids and Morwen. What was the point in keeping them away when it was clear now that all my efforts had been for nothing? After she collapsed, I cleaned my mate up and put her in our bed. She was as pale as a ghost, her dark hair pooled across the pillow providing even more contrast. Goddess. I failed as a man. How could I not have noticed that she was ill, and not just from the pregnancy? Everyone said the plague

    [Three months later] I woke up with my arms around my mate. She was hot. And not in the beauty sense. Temperature wise, she was hot. Leaning on my elbow, I pushed gently on her shoulder so she was lying on her back instead of on her side facing away from me. She was still asleep, but there was a small frown on her face, almost as if she was in pain. With the back of my hand, I felt her head, then her neck. My heart began to pound. She had a fever. Even though she'd become increasingly weak and nauseous with the pregnancy, this was the first time she actually felt feverish. Images of the worst began to race through my mind. In the past few months, victims of the plague had increased, and every day, a large number of people died. Both the werewolf doctors and the witch healers hadn't found a cure or anything even close yet. The disease just kept growing, unchecked, with no one having an idea of how it was transferred. I'd shut the palace down, quarantining everyone in

    When Morwen returned the next day, it was with more bad news. "There's been reports of the outbreak of a disease," she said as she walked into the office Atlas and I used. "A disease?" Atlas asked, obviously surprised. "What disease? Who does it affect?" "No one knows what it is," she replied. "But so far, we've had five reports in just one day. Two of them are wolves. The others are witches.""That's impossible," Atlas and I said at the same time. "Werewolves don't get sick." Apparently," Morwen said, "they do now. It's odd, and like nothing we witches have seen before. We do get sick sometimes. According to what I've heard, it starts with a fever, and slowly deteriorates into the patient coughing up blood. The disease progresses fast, eating at the patient until they're nothing more than a husk of bones and dried flesh. Our healers have tried everything. Nothing seems to work." I frowned. "And this disease is totally new? Nothing the witches have ever experienced before?" She

    "Here." Atlas slid his plate across the table until it rested in front of me, picking up mine at the same time. Mine contained a thick, uncut steak, while his contained the same, but cut into bite sized pieces, with a good helping of vegetables on the side. "Eat up." I pouted at him, gazing at the vegetables with distaste. "You know I don't like those." "I know," my mate agreed, a small smile on his lips. "But you have to eat them. I'll feed them to you if you won't eat." He picked up my fork and held it up to my lips trying to get me to eat. Obligingly, I opened my mouth and let him put them in. The guards at the door and the maids bringing in the dishes acted like they couldn't see us. After years of seeing their King and Queen acting like teenagers drunk on love, they had pretty much gotten used to it. "They're good, right?" Atlas asked. "No." I spoke with my mouth full. "They're not good." He speared a few veggies with his fork and brought them to his mouth too, then shru
