Victor pulled me by my hand through the swinging door and into the restaurant kitchen a split second before a chair splintered against the door frame.“We’ve got to get out of here,” I said, listening to more things crash against the door behind us. “Come on.” I pointed at the metal door marked exit.We crossed the kitchen, ignoring the surprised faces of the kitchen staff, and hurried out the back door. We clung to each other and cautiously walked around the block to Victor’s car.“John and the faction have done an excellent job at destroying our reputations,” I said once we were safely inside the Lamborghini.“The Alpha population’s anger at us is worse than I thought,” Victor admitted and pulled away from the curb. “It’s disappointing that they believe every negative thing they are told.”“I’m more than disappointed,” I said. “I’m angry. They want to believe what the faction tells them about us to justify their opposition to the new laws.”I clenched my teeth in frustration. “And t

Victor’s POVJennifer’s complete betrayal took a heavy toll on my lovely Luna. Daisy cried for hours after the ex-maid’s Max News interview.She pushed me away when I tried to hold her in my arms. But I finally insisted on carrying her upstairs.I placed her on the bed and sat next to her. “Sweetheart, I’m sorry. Jennifer’s betrayal must hurt you badly.”“It’s not just that,” Daisy said as she wiped her eyes. “She was right. What she said about me was the truth. You should break our engagement and find another mate.”“Daisy, no!” I shouted.“The faction may leave you alone if you dump me.” She turned her back to me. “I’m no good for your career, and I won’t hold you back.”“That’s nonsense,” I insisted. “They would be saying the same things about any mate of mine.”When she remained silent, I gently turned her beautiful tear-stained face toward me and looked into her glistening emerald eyes.“You are letting John win,” I told her. “Don’t start believing his propaganda. We are stronger

“Come on,” Anna said as she helped me to my feet. “We’ve got to get into the house while he’s reloading.”I took her hand and let her pull me back inside the mansion.Benson rushed across the foyer to my side as Anna closed and bolted the front entrance.“A shooter tried to kill Miss Wilson,” Anna said. “The perpetrator is still on the estate.”Benson hurried to a control panel near the front door and entered a code. A siren sounded, and I heard window and door locks engage.The mansion was now locked down, and the police had been called.Alex had the estate’s security updated after Amy’s grandmother, Martha Archer, made it onto the estate grounds and almost into the house without being seen.Due to a fence and a new front gate, it would be more challenging to get in or out of the estate when it was locked down. It would also be hard to get inside the locked mansion, but neither was impossible for a determined assailant.“Take Miss Wilson into the study,” Benson ordered Anna. “There a

My hands shook as I slipped the engagement ring Victor gave me off my finger and placed it on the coffee table. My heart was breaking, but I had to stay strong for him.“No!” Victor shouted and took me into his arms. “I don’t care what they say. I am marrying you, my fated mate, and no other.”“But marrying me could destroy your career,” I argued. “I can’t destroy your life.” I forced back tears. “Alphas will quiet down again if we aren’t together.”“No, Daisy,” Victor held me close. “I don’t care what Councilor Getty or any Alpha wants. If I can’t have you, I don’t want the leadership of The Association. I love you, Daisy.”“And I love you,” I said. “But I can’t destroy your life.”“Without you, I won’t have a life,” Victor insisted. “Who in werewolf society has ever been forbidden to marry their fated mate? It's illegal and immoral. I won’t stand for it!”He picked up the ring from the coffee table and took my left hand.“Sweetheart, do you love me enough to marry me?” Victor asked.

I imagined myself standing next to Victor on the beach at sunset, saying my vows in front of a priestess, and a smile bloomed on my face.“That’s such a romantic idea,” I said. “Let’s do it.”Getting married on the beach wasn’t my dream wedding, but I would be marrying my fated mate at one of our favorite places.“We’ll start making plans tomorrow,” Victor said. “I’ll call the local courthouse to find out how we get a marriage license.”“I can wear one of my sundresses,” I mumbled. “There’s no time to have something made.”“You don’t want a nice gown getting full of sand anyhow,” Victor said. “That white dress with the tiny flowers you had on is pretty.”“Yeah, it is,” I agreed. But something didn’t feel right. “Let’s get some sleep and plan everything tomorrow after we take a walk on the jetty.”Snuggling in Victor’s arms, I imagined myself as Mrs. Victor Klein until sleep carried me away.I woke up first and headed to the kitchen to get the coffee started. I checked the refrigerator
