Connie’s POV I had searched the pack grounds for clues to the alpha’s missing pup and talked to all the women of the pack. This kidnapping was taking a toll on everybody’s sanity. Now I was once again in the library in the mansion and my wolf was clawing to break free. I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at the most handsome man I had ever seen. I knew what he was the moment I saw him and I didn’t trust or even like his kind. My mind was racing as my wolf repeated the word mate in my head. I begged her to calm down and let me think. I have always wanted to be with my mate and I will even admit to myself that I was envious of everyone around me finding their mate and not me. Now I was confused and not sure what to think. He stared at me and his sky blue eyes sparkled as he smirked. I listened to the witch Kit and my queen talk about the situation but I couldn’t look away from my new mate. I wanted to just take him to my room and lock the door and have my way with him. My body f

Rain’s POV I paced the library floor once again. I had way to much on my mind to just sit in my mate’s lap and take comfort from being near him. I knew he was worried about me but he kept his concerns to himself for now. Prince Scott leaned against the desk that Selwyn was sitting behind and watching me pace back and forth. “ Your majesties is what I have heard the truth? Is this sorcerer planning to use a baby wolf for a ceremony? Now he has access to a mother dragon which means if he knows how he could drain her magical powers.” Prince Scott said as he rubbed his hand over his face. This was becoming madness and I knew we had to find that pup and Syndel. The pressure was becoming unbearable but I had to try and use my bond with Syndel to locate her before she gave birth. Partially shifting earlier tonight has exhausted me and I wasn’t even sure I had the energy I needed to locate her. Selwyn stood up from his chair and walked around the desk and said,” My Rain you need to sleep bef

Selwyn’s POV I watched my beautiful mate as she drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face. I closed my eyes and let my mind wander over the day so far. So much has happened yet so much still needed fixing. I could feel my Rain’s uneasiness as she slept lightly. I knew her mind was full of worry over the missing pup and Syndel along with her unborn baby. Now on top of everything she has had to process knowing her parents are still alive must be making her insane. She has mourned them ever since I first met her and now I know she is relieved to have found them. I wondered what state they would be in when we rescued them. So many unanswered questions swirled in my mind. Maxim was taking this time to rest so I didn’t bother asking him. My newest frustration was in the form of a tall dragon with ocean blue eyes. Thinking about meeting Mack and the way he would only speak unless my mate was around made me furious. When he winked at her earlier in the library I wanted to gouge his eyes o

Rain’s POV Everything was darkness. I was floating along locked in consciousness in my own mind. After my mate had stopped my shift I blacked out, however my mind never went blank. I knew my mate was frantic with worry and blaming himself for stopping my shift but I couldn’t reassure him. I had zero energy. I couldn’t open my eyes or move my body and speaking just wouldn’t happen. I could feel him trying to reach me through our mate bond but the door on my side was closed. I could hear everything and feel hands on my body as Selwyn held me tight. I could even feel him teleport and lay me on what I assumed was our bed. Reya was completely knocked out by Selwyn’s power which had never happened before. Confused and nervous I listened while my mate growled refused help from anyone. ShyElle was pleading with her brother to help me and I could hear the sorrow in her voice. Kit, Hart, and Thomas were in the room along with Connie. They were all trying to get Selwyn to let them help me but m

Rain’s POV I had the perfect master plan in mind. I just had to sell it completely to my mate and everyone in the room would follow his lead. I stared into his eyes and gaged his reaction as I told him and everyone else what I had planned. “ My treasure my plan is very simple. All we need to do is act like nothing is wrong when the fae Prince returns to the mansion. We act as if none of us know the game he is paying. ShyElle will keep up with the fake mate bond. Kit, Hart and Thomas will act like normal and keep pretending to gain our trust. Connie you will need to go along with Thomas and act like you are helping Selwyn and I to trust him and the others. Now Miller will need to stay close to Selwyn and pretend like ShyElle isn’t his fated mate. Now for the part that you won’t like my love. Selwyn I need you to act like our bond is weakening and you have your eyes on a female wolf. You need to act like mating a dragon wasn’t what you really wanted. I know a she wolf that will help us
