[Knight’s POV]"You’re welcome to have a seat wherever," I announce, untangling my arm from Anya’s. "My stepmother should be here any…""Wait," she gasps, reaching out and grabbing my wrist. "Won’t you stay?"Stay? Why in the hell would I stay? I was pretty sure I knew exactly what it was that they were going to talk about, and I didn’t need to be a part of it.If that woman had convinced my father to go along with her plan, then that was that, and I had no room to argue."I’m sure the both of you have a lot of catching up to do."As I speak, I begin to move, making my way toward the room's exit, but before I can reach it, I feel my shirt being snagged.Frowning, I turn and take in Anya, who is standing behind me with a pained look on her face."Did I do something to offend you?" She asks quietly, lifting her large gaze to mine. "If so, I apologize."Biting back my initial response, I try to make sense of what the fuck is going on, but before I can, my stepmother enters with Jackson,

[Massimo’s POV]Desire begins to build within me with every minute that passes, and my little fairy continues to meet my hunger with her own. However, before I can let myself get carried away, I gently pull her back and take in her flushed cheeks and dark eyes."Down girl," I chuckle, running my hands up her arms, which tremble slightly. "I appreciate you trying, but you don’t have to push yourself that much.""Push?" She repeats, seeming confused. "I don’t…""You want me to help you with Knight," I explain, knowing that was the reason she was doing all of this. "And I’ve already agreed by having my beta look into Hunters Moon and Veronica’s background. But I’m not sure if they will be able to uncover anything."As the words leave my lips, I remember just how secretive Tatiana’s own background is. I didn’t know if it was Hunters Moon or Onyx River covering her, but I didn’t put it past either."You think I did that because of him?" She asks quietly, hurt flashing in her eyes. "How cou

[Knight’s POV]I stare into Tatiana’s silver eyes, trying to process what exactly she was up to. Why was she going through all of this after what I had done to her? Was she stupid or something?"I refuse," I respond, leaning back on my cot. "Leave.""You heard him," Massimo says, reaching out and grabbing Tatiana’s hand.This action alone sends me into a rage, and it takes everything for me not to jump up and stop him from touching what was mine."He isn’t interested in our help," he continues, oblivious to my change in mood or just not giving a shit. "Let him stay here and rot.""I…" Tatiana begins, looking from him to me. "I can’t."Frowning, I take in her expression, which screams remorse and guilt. What the hell was she even thinking, and why did I care so much to know?"He saved me once," she continues, her eyes filling with determination. "And because of that, I have to return the favor."Saved? When the hell had I saved her? All I did was ignore everything she was going through

[Massimo’s POV]When we arrive at Obsidian River, Tatiana looks exhausted, so I make a beeline for my office in hopes that she can rest while I do a bit of work.Since her return, I have been looking into Onyx River but have continued to come up empty-handed, so I decided that maybe looking into historical records would be the better choice.Along with that, I still had many pack matters to handle as the transition between my father’s reign and my reign commenced due to my engagement and eventual marriage to Tatiana. There was a lot of cleaning up to do before I officially took over, and once I finished with Obsidian River, I would be sure to work on Onyx River."Is this really necessary?" Tatiana asks as I force her to lay down on the lush couch that sits to the side of my office and cover her with a blanket. "I could just go back to our room, you know?"Our room… No matter how many times I heard it referred to as that, I still got excited when I heard it.Since we were officially en

[Tatiana’s POV]My eyes widen as I take in my uncle’s desperate gaze that meets mine. Something about it chills me to my core as I feel a sudden pull that makes me stumble forward."What?" I hiss, trying to fight what was happening, only to find that I was continuing to move."You bastard!" Massimo growls, grabbing me and pulling me closer to him so that the pull becomes painful with each passing second that I don’t obey it. "What the fuck do you think you’re doing?""Giovani," Roger warns, looking from me and Massimo to my uncle. "What is the meaning of this?""You don’t understand," my uncle responds, continuing to keep his gaze fixed on mine. "Release Tatiana and forget about our agreement."At his words, the pull becomes so painful that I let out a hiss, but I’m still unable to move as Massimo holds tight.What the hell was this exactly? Was this what it felt like to disobey an alpha?Back in Hunters Moon, I never experienced such a thing since I was never officially connected to
