Gwendolyn raised her head in surprise. She hadn't expected him to say that. "Kieran, she bears your mark. That makes her your mate, even though she isn't your fated mate. How will you change that?"Kieran sat up and took her hands. "Let me explain it to you, my love. When Medea was chosen, a ritual was performed.""What ritual?""A bonding ritual, to keep her bound to me." Kieran explained. "Something similar to the mate bond, but not as strong. I didn't want her. I was ready to wait till eternity to find you. But the laws of the Triad stated that I needed an heir, and Medea was a Wilding from a strong bloodline. So she was chosen."He brought her hands to his lips and kissed it. "I mated with her and marked her, and a week later, she conceived. But Medea went wild. She wanted to be crowned my Luna so badly." "Weren't you worried you would find your mate someday?""I wasn't planning on staying with Medea forever. The bond was temporary. She only had to give me an heir. But she wante

She was the one he wanted, the only woman he craved. They would have been together if Kieran hadn't chosen to show himself in their pack that fateful morning. Now he lost her. But he didn't

One week flew by rapidly, until it was the day of Gwendolyn's coronation. That morning, she woke up to Kieran shaking her awake. She sat up abruptly, her chest heaving with heavy breaths.

Her heart was pounding so fast within her. "I had a nightmare." She whispered. Kieran pulled back and cupped her face. "Tell me about it."In a quiet voice, she told him about the enormous wolf she saw. From her description, Kieran knew what kind of wolf it was. "Dire Wolves." He murmured. "They were the first creatures in the realm. When I had flashbacks of the past at the Moon Pool, I saw the leader, Lucien.""Why would one appear to me?" Gwendolyn asked softly. "I don't know.
