Oscar“You were on that ship?” I ask her. I close the door behind us, keeping my hand in hers as I lead her toward the chair. I sit across from her on the bed, the only place to do so in this small room.She keeps her eyes on me. I can see the fear and trauma in them that is tempered by the experience we just went through together: meeting our mate for the first time.“Yes,” she confirms.I furrow my brow, and a wave of fury washes over me... not at her, of course, but I’m imagining what the situation must be for a young woman like her to be on a ship full of kidnappers.If they laid one hand on her....“No one hurt me,” she says quickly, as if she understands my thoughts.She’s my mate. I suppose she does know what I’m thinking, in some way, though we just met.I nod, trying to decide what to ask next. The last few minutes have been traumatic for her, obviously. Her eyes are still blotched with red from crying.“That man killed the only person who was nice to me on the ship,” she add

MaggieDays Later“Here.”It’s hard to hold back tears as I hand Lyra her makeshift bridal bouquet. It was such a fun little wedding aboard the ship. Now my new and very good friend is the Luna Queen of Oceana. How did all this happen in just a matter of days?“Enjoy the wedding night,” I tell her with a wink. I can’t believe I just said that, and I think I’m blushing just as much as she is right now.I watch her take Alpha King Cassian’s hand, and they walk together down the aisle until two of the ship’s crew open the door for them.As they disappear down the hallway, I can’t help but think of all the horrible things I’ve been told about Cassian. The people of my kingdom are certain that he’s evil. They gossip about how he is cruel to children, that he’s a womanizer, and that he takes pleasure in killing and inflicting pain on anyone and everyone.But I can see firsthand that none of that is true. The tender way he gazes at Lyra tells me everything I need to know about this Alpha Kin

MaggieWe’ve marked each other.That’s certainly something I never expected. I know my parents did it, but that was a long time ago, and times have changed. Not a lot of mated pairs do it these days, especially in the higher classes.But they should. The moment Oscar sunk his fangs into me, I felt an even stronger connection between his wolf and mine. So, it’s not really for the human part of us, but I know our wolves will be happier from it.And now, I lay on his bare, muscular chest, listening to his heartbeat as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. From my small cabin window, I can see the first rays of sunlight coming up over the horizon.Oscar stirs suddenly, and I pull off of him so he can sit up. “What is it?” I ask.“The captain says we’ve arrived at Winterhaven,” he explains. “I’ll need to join the others for security.”“Of course,” I tell him, and he pulls me in for a deep, romantic kiss.“Go get some breakfast,” he suggests when we part. “I’ll try to meet you in the

MaggieThe loud yet pleasant sounds of the city fade as we travel farther into the country. It’s about an hour’s drive to Ethercrest, and our home is on its outskirts, so I sit back and relax, enjoying the beautiful countryside.Everything is in bloom right now. Purple, red, and yellow flowers blanket the hillsides. There are even a few trees with pink blossoms left over from late spring.We pass the town, and Oscar waves at some of the people he knows there. I join in the greetings, though I don’t feel like a local just yet. I know it will come in time. Everyone smiles when we pass. It seems like good people live here.Finally, we head toward our farmstead, and Oscar’s stomach lets out a growl.It makes me laugh. “I guess I’d better get started on dinner as soon as we get home.”“I’m hungry, I admit,” he says. “But I want to show you a few things before you dive into the kitchen.”“Okay,” I tell him. He’s been a little secretive lately, and I can tell he’s been preparing a surprise f
