Se connecterWe didn’t want to risk another delay in our wedding, given the way our luck had gone so far. So Leo and I planned to hold our wedding as quickly as we could.I would have happily said my vows right there and then at Leo’s coronation. My mother, Dr. Lee, and Ethan’s siblings insisted we had to have a
Johann’s declaration sent a jolt through the gathered alphas. It was immediate pandemonium.The alphas shouted over each other. Some were calling for Leo’s head. Some wanted every wolf present banished. Interestingly, many of the alphas were cheering in agreement.“There hasn’t been a wolf king in g
After the Rogues were finally defeated, Leo and I wanted to plan our lives together. We were going to have a simple wedding. We would invite our pack and Ethan's and the doctors at the hospital.But the other alphas had different ideas.The eldest alpha, Titian, came to the pack army encampment the

Ethan's scout and I stumbled back just as the manor erupted into fire and chaos.There were wolves and Rogues everywhere. I didn't know who was who. I had no idea if the burned man on the ground at my paws was one of ours or one of Rory's. I didn't care.I pawed at the form, and my wolf found the st
I could barely stay awake for more than a minute when I was awake. Sometimes Lee was there, checking on my vitals and spoon feeding me careful dosages of medicine and broth and ice chips. Sometimes Ethan and my mother were there, talking softly and holding my free hand.Leo was always there. He wasn
The packs broke into agitated chatter. Leo waited out the initial reaction before raising his hands for silence.“I know. Believe me, I know. I thought we were past this, too. But there is a new leader among the Rogues. And he is coming here, because I defeated the last leader, and he wants revenge.
“What happened?” I demanded.His wounds didn't make sense. I expected deep gashes, claw marks and bites. Instead his chest was peppered by small, deep holes.
