LeoI didn’t sleep much that night. I was worried about Ava spending her first night here, alone in an unfamiliar place. I had two maids stand outside her room for the entire night in case she woke up and needed anything in the middle of the night. As sleep evaded me, I crept out of my bedroom and went to her door. The maids confirmed that Ava hadn’t asked for anything. I peeked inside her room, and sure enough, both she and Oliver were fast asleep every time.One thought plagued me through the night—Ava not wanting to be a wolf. I didn’t understand, even when I tried to see it from her point of view. I got that this was all new for her, but despite her protests, she was a wolf. As werewolves, our connection to our wolves was one of the strongest, most compelling things in the world. How could Ava turn her back on that—and why would she want to?And then there was Oliver. He was my son, the heir to my throne. He was a wolf, through and through. I couldn’t even fathom the thought of ha

AvaI liked Cassie instantly, even though she was a bit younger than me. Just as she promised, we got painfully lost in the hedge maze, but there was something so endearing about her that I honestly wanted to stay lost for a bit. She yammered on about her life, why she wanted to be a warrior, and, of course, about the tea party. It sounded strange to me, a grown-ass woman throwing a tea party, but she insisted that it would be fun, so I decided to keep an open mind about the whole thing.Plus, I had promised Leo that I would give this whole thing a real chance, and it seemed like making friends was one way to do that. Apart from some people at work, I didn’t have any friends back in Ocean Crest, and it was a far stretch to call them “friends.” Except for Randy—Randy was the closest I had to a real friend.So deep down, the thought of meeting other women and forming a relationship with them was a little exciting to me, even if it had to be during a tea party.Cassie planned the tea par

LeoAva was adjusting quite well to life at the palace. Oliver shifting into a wolf pup had thrown her for a bit of a loop, but once she got used to the idea, she was fine. I had to admit that Oliver was the cutest little wolf pup I’d ever seen, and I wasn’t just saying that because I was his father. He was already very strong for a pup his age and agile, too. I couldn’t wait to see the wolf he grew up to be.That is, if Ava decided to stay.We were about one week into our one-month agreement when she asked me about shifting. She asked during one of our private dinners together. We ate dinner every night, and after every dinner, I asked her to join me in my bedroom. But every night, she refused. I wanted her very badly. Her scent was driving me crazy, and her skin...I had to restrain myself every time I saw her.She needed more time, though—space to sort things out. The worst thing I could do was pressure her, so I just gently kissed her on the forehead every night and wished her a go

LeoI was surprised that Ava had led me away from the celebration, but I certainly wasn’t arguing. She was finally giving in to me, and I knew it. I grew hard just thinking about what we were about to do.But outside our guest house, I paused. I wanted this to be special for her, memorable, and as much as I wanted to throw her down on the bed and make love to her immediately, I had a different idea.“What’s wrong?” she asked, her brows furrowed. “Why are you stopping?”“Stay here,” I said with a sly smile. Then I dashed into the house and ripped the blankets from the bed, with a couple of pillows bundled under my arms.“Leo?” she said, surprised when she saw me.“It’s a beautiful night, Ava,” I replied. “Look, the moon is full. Let’s make love in the forest under the moon.”She broke out into a smile and nodded. Then, I led her deep into the forest. We found a small clearing with towering trees all around us, but the clearing allowed the moonlight to stream in. I laid out the blanket

AvaA week flew by in what felt like the blink of an eye.As soon as I returned from the palace after discovering the truth about my father, I appealed to Leo. I told him everything, giving as many details as possible. I explained that Alpha Miles was an awful, treacherous man and that his pack was trying to force him to step down. I didn’t hold back when I talked about my mother and Miles’ betrayal of her. Tears streamed down my face, and I teetered between grief-stricken and outraged.Leo listened intently, and he stood up as soon as I was done. He called for his Gamma and ordered him to arrange guards to seize Alpha Miles.“Do you want vengeance?” Leo asked me.For a brief moment, I paused. Did I? I wasn’t a vengeful person, but I couldn’t just stand by and let Miles’ actions go unpunished.“I do,” I told Leo.He cupped my cheek with his hand. “Then you shall have it,” he said.Leo intended to bring Alpha Miles back to the palace, where he would demand that Miles relinquish his pos
