Every time he was around her, something new seemed to point to them being mates. But what would that truly mean for his fate?What would that mean
Kael The words had caught Nadia off-guard. That much was clear in the flutter of her stare, in the shift of her lips as she opened and closed them—searching for the right words. Sleep hung onto the droop of her eyelids and pressed itself into the bruises under her eyes, but none of it masked the su
The medicine would take some time to kick in, so I returned to the bathroom, refilled the glass, and dampened two rags with chilled water. Kael practically sighed when I touched the cold fabric to his skin. I draped one across his neck, covering the quick, fleshy tick of his pulse, and used the othe
NadiaPoisonous green eyes blinked up at me. In a single breath, the air settling like silk between us, Kael lashed out with lethal speed. Firm hands latched onto my shoulders, twisted, and shoved me into the mattress.My breath stalled. My eyes squeezed shut. And for a moment, I was back in my drea

Nadia“Boxing?” I asked in disbelief. “At five in the morning?”I had never been much into exercising. At the orphanage, Cliff had been strict with our free time. He liked us best when we were small and broken. Malleable.Most often, chores had been our main source of entertainment. And whatever tim
KaelThe girl didn’t react to the word. Despite the fact that mate was now the only thought inside Kael’s brain, Nadia didn’t seem to share the pit he felt in his chest.Instead, she turned her nose up at him and shoved two hands into his chest. Kael stumbled back, caught off guard.“It’s not my fau
