It was a last-minute change, the noble families changed the location of where we were supposed to meet and suggested we meet in an old town. It was less than an hour's dri
CORBIN'S POV, “And if the noble families even as much as look at her wrong, kill them. I'm ready to face the fallout.” Andrew said, and judging by the lines on his forehead, I knew he meant every word. I nodded without question, because it's my duty to follow the orders of my Alpha. Whatever they
