　　Madeline’s POV　　My entire body was shaking. I was in shock. I was scared.　　I was in complete disbelief.　　I was shocked when Oscar said that I was a Lycan, but hearing Dimitri say that I was the heir…　　It was too much. The first thought that came to mind was that Dimitri would see me as a threat. He was the King. This was his Kingdom. This was his throne. He deserved to be the leader. He deserved to sit on that throne, not me.　　All I wanted was my mate. I didn’t want the throne. I didn’t want to be the leader. I didn’t want to be a Lycan. I wanted Dimitri.　　When he said that he didn’t see me as a threat, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I felt like I was finally able to breathe again. I couldn’t stop sobbing. I was so relieved.　　But I was scared as well. What did it all mean? Was that the reason Skye refused to shift? Was she protecting me from finding out that I was a Lycan?　　Was it even real? Maybe Oscar was wrong. Maybe it wasn’t true.　　“Oscar could be wrong,” I

　　Dimitri’s POV　　Maddie was shaking from top to bottom and I started doubting my decision to let her tell him.　　“We don’t have to do it, Maddie,” I said as I rubbed her back gently. “He doesn’t have to know yet.”　　She looked at me and shook her head.　　“He has to know, Dimitri,” she said. “He deserves to know. I can’t keep this from him.”　　I sighed and glanced at Will. He was looking at Maddie with a mixture of worry and anger on his face. I could tell that he wasn’t too happy with her decision. I wasn’t happy with it either, but I didn’t want to be a jerk. Mike was her dad and if she wanted him to know, I wasn’t going to do anything to stop her.　　But I wasn’t sure about his reaction. How would he react once he found out that she was a Lycan?　　I was sure that Mike would never hurt her. I would never let her tell him if there was even a small part of me that thought he was a danger to her. Mike was a lot of things and he made a lot of mistakes, but he would never hurt his daughter

　　Dimitri’s POV　　I closed our bedroom door and looked at Maddie. My heart clenched painfully. She looked so tired and so overwhelmed.　　“Princess,” I called her quietly as I approached her.　　She looked at me and took a deep breath. I finally reached her and wrapped my arms around her.　　“I am so done with everything,” she mumbled as she hugged me back. “I am tired.”　　I ran my fingers through her hair and kissed her temple.　　“I know, my love,” I said softly. “I can see it.”　　I needed to find a way to relax her. I needed to find a way to show her that she wasn’t alone in this. I needed to find a way to show her how fucking much I loved her.　　“What day is it?” she asked after a few moments of silence. “When is the Alphas Meeting starting?”　　I ran my fingers through her hair again. I honestly didn’t know the answer to that question. I completely lost track of time. In a day or two maybe? Or maybe even more? Three, or four days? I had no fucking idea.　　But I knew that I wasn’t going

　　Dimitri’s POV　　The dungeon where I kept my prisoners was a dark underground place. The silence was only sometimes broken by the sound of water dripping from places I couldn't see. The air smelled old and damp, and it was much colder than the outside. The smell was burning my nostrils and I couldn’t wait to leave this place.　　As I entered the dungeon, I immediately felt a shiver run down my spine. The walls were made of rough stone blocks, with moss and lichen growing on them. Torches on the walls were the only source of light. If I wasn’t a Lycan, I would have a hard time moving around.　　The ground was uneven, with rocks and weeds in the way. Old, rusty iron chains and shackles hung on the walls, reminding me of some good times I had down here with some of my prisoners.　　The ceiling was low and I could feel droplets of water fall on my neck from time to time. It made me shiver. I hated moist places.　　As I went further into the dungeon, I couldn't help but feel more and more angr

　　Dimitri’s POV　　Being next to Maddie was healing my body and my soul in ways I never thought possible. I felt more at peace as soon as she wrapped her arm around my waist and leaned her head on my chest.　　I smiled at her and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. I missed her terribly.　　I never could have imagined I would feel like this. I knew that mate bond was a powerful thing, but I never knew that I would struggle to be separated from her for more than an hour.　　“She wanted out,” Will responded to Ellie’s question. “She said that she would change.”　　I could feel anger starting to pulsate inside me, but it didn’t even get to develop because Maddie turned her head and placed a soft kiss on my chest. I ran my fingers through her hair and took a deep breath of her scent. I smiled and sighed contently.　　“Oh, what a buttload of crap,” Ellie said angrily. “She is obviously lying.”　　I looked at Ellie and smiled.　　“Obviously,” I said calmly.　　Ellie furrowed her eyebrows and looked m
