LOGINI nodded. “I’d really, really rather you not ever do that again.”“Then, perhaps there’s another way to add their land and strength to ours. Say, through an alliance. Or, through a bonding.”“You want me to court their Alpha?” I yelped.“Well, first be sure he’s compatible,” Lucian said. “But you he
ZaraMy aunt, Tabitha, had answers for us. Once she finally stopped laughing. It turned out that Lycans often didn’t shift until they took their first bond. It was quite the experience.Running with my mates, all of us in wolf form, was something I would never forget. I made sure to do it as often a
I tugged on Lucian’s shirt, and he slithered out of it. Kieran’s followed soon after. Kieran tangled his hand in my shirt but hesitated until I nodded to pull it over my head. Then Lucian leaned in and started nipping and licking his way down from my neck, to my chest, and Kieran’s hands roamed.Hea
ZaraI didn’t know what to say, what to do. Did I want to break the bond that was slowly forming between me and the twins? Did I want them for my mates? Did they want me?I looked at Lucian, and saw his eyes were wolf gold, locked onto me. His wolf wanted me, that was for certain. But what about the
I didn’t blame her for getting out of there. I really admired her courage when she returned some minutes later with a tray full of tea and little cookies.“So, tell me what you know of Lycans,” Tabitha said.Zara just shook her head, baffled.“They’re a myth,” Lucian declared. “Supposedly, before th

ZaraI collected the food cart with Lucian and Kieran and my own lunches stacked on it. I was strong enough to carry all three trays without the cart, but the servants insisted it was on the Alphas' orders.I didn't know what to do with the Alphas' sudden concern for my well-being. It was weird. Som
ZaraI put up with Lucian’s overbearing rules for the whole week of healer prescribed rest. I didn’t understand why he insisted that I only eat food he or Kieran brought. At least they weren’t trying to starve me into submission again.The collar had been left on my wardrobe. I picked it up and deba
“You refused to poison us. Someone might want to retaliate,” Lucian said.“Well, if I’m too weak to survive and too foolish to realize my food’s been tampered with, shouldn’t I just die?” I asked. “I mean, that’s how you feel, isn’t it?”Lucian looked away.“You’re useful,” he finally said. “Enough
“Healer Esmeralda worries too much, I’m fine,” Zara insisted.“Regardless, I will be taking her advice,” Lucian announced.You will stay in your room,” Lucian ordered, voice and eyes like ice.“I’m being punished again?” Zara asked. “For what? Fainting? Not satisfying your lust?”Lucian turned away.
