*Warning! Dark start, description of death. Skip this chapter if you are a sensitive reader*-Anastasia-As the house erupted in chaos, I covered my ears with my hands. I had been told I couldn’t scream. I had to be as quiet as the dead. But I was so scared. My small heart pounded in my chest, and tears streamed down my face. I bit my lip to stifle any noise, but small whimpers escaped anyway. The screams and growls filled the house, and I squeezed my eyes shut. “Please… go away…” I whispered.I knew I shouldn’t speak, but I just wanted it all to stop. I wanted everything to be quiet… I wanted my mom. I longed for her safe arms and for my dad to come and tell me everything would be all right. But neither of them came. Time passed… so much time passed. Then, suddenly, everything went silent.I couldn’t understand what had happened. I stopped rocking back and forth and slowly lowered my hands. I glanced around the dark closet before finally taking the chance to push the door open and pe

-Roman-I stood on the expansive balcony facing the front of the enormous mansion, watching as people streamed inside. Their voices floated up to me, carried by the wind. There were so many of them, all expecting great things for tonight—a new queen. Daphne hadn’t officially been named queen yet. I hadn’t marked her either. Tonight was just her introduction as my queen. Much still needed to be prepared for the official ceremony, and then there was the marking.I was still young for a lycan, though, not yet thirty—just twenty-eight. I knew many might find it strange that I was so quick to choose a queen. Why not wait a little longer? What was the rush? I was a young king, having taken the throne before I even turned seventeen. But why shouldn’t I take a queen fast? I knew how short life could be.“Father?” I called, searching for him throughout the castle where we lived. But he was no longer the same man now that his true mate had died in a rogue attack. That’s why I knew I had to keep

-Roman-Daphne and I finally made our way downstairs, joining the party. We were greeted left and right by everyone in attendance, and as we entered the grand ballroom, it was clear that the real show was about to begin. We had barely taken a few steps when someone called out to us, eager to talk and get to know Daphne better, as if they hadn’t known her forever. It all felt very… fake, really. But Daphne was the perfect hostess and queen.“Roman!” Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice call out to me, and a smile spread across my lips as I saw Shane approaching. He was a distant relative, but I always referred to him as my cousin, and he did the same. As we got closer, we hugged. Then he pulled back, looking at me with a grin.“Always clean up nicely,” he teased.“Oh, so you think I look good?” I joked.He had his friends behind him, and I greeted them all as they congratulated me. Shane turned his attention to Daphne, who stood a little nervously behind me. She knew them, of course, but

-Roman-I couldn’t stop myself. It barely felt like I was the one moving my body, but I was. My wolf, Verlon, might have nudged me forward, but I was the one who grabbed the little wolf and pushed her into the bathroom. I locked the door and pressed her against the wall, leaving her completely at my mercy. She was tiny, wasn’t she? But really, she was just an average-sized werewolf. It was us lycans who were taller and bigger.Shit, how would a little wolf like this be able to handle all of me? Could I be as rough and wild with her as I wanted, or did I have to go slow and gentle?Her breathing was fast, her chest rising and falling, drawing my eyes to her curves, the material of her clothing stretched over her. It was then that I noticed the scars on her chest and followed them down her left arm. What had done this to my little mate? If it was a person, who did I have to kill?No one hurt my little mate… Shit. She is my mate.I hadn’t wanted a mate. I was supposed to introduce Daphne

-Roman-What was going on with my little mate? Why was she fighting this so hard? I could scent how good I made her feel, and I could even sense it despite our bond only just awakening. So why couldn’t she just accept me?“Well, little wolf, want to try that again?” I asked.“I…” My little mate was panting now, leaning her head forward, trying to hide how much she was turned on. But when she went quiet, I grabbed her arm and pulled her up. She gasped in surprise as I turned her to face me. Her eyes flicked to my lips for a moment before she quickly looked away. I grasped her chin and turned her to me, and she looked back defiantly.Oh, she’s a tough one to crack, isn’t she? No matter. Soon, she’ll be purring for us.I smiled at my wolf’s words. Yes, she would definitely purr, but I should at least know her name before I had my tongue between her legs.“Well?” I inquired. “Want to try again?”“What do you want from me?” she asked.I grinned, appreciating her hard attitude. “I thought th
