ROWAN’S POV"Rowan? Tell me he’s lying. Tell me it’s a joke, and you didnt just sell me off to another man." Larry pleaded with his voice cracking, but I couldnt respond.The library felt like it was shrinking in on me, with the walls of ancient books closing in on us.I looked at Larry and my heart nearly broke open. His face was a mask of pure, unadulterated shock and sorrow, his eyes wide and glassy. He looked like I’d just reached into his chest and physically ripped his heart out."Rowan?" he whispered, his voice so small it barely carried across the few feet between us. "Tell him he’s lying. Tell me this is some sick joke."I felt my wolf pacing restlessly inside my mind, with a low, pained howl vibrating through my bones. I wanted to reach out, to pull him against me and tell him that I would burn this entire kingdom to the ground before I let anyone else touch him. I wanted to snap Calvin’s neck for the smug, self-satisfied look on his face.But I couldn’t.Instead, I swallowe

Rowan's pov The caller ID said... Elis. I froze in place. I had expected it to be Jethro or one of the pack Elders demanding an immediate update on the political trap they had set for me. Instead, my breath caught in my throat. The name flashing across the glowing screen made my blood run completely cold. Elis... After Seven years. It had been seven long, agonizing years of absolute radio silence. I just stared at the screen, my thumb hovering over the red decline button. I shouldn't answer. I should throw the phone against the wall and keep the past buried where it belonged. But the phone just kept vibrating in my palm, like a relentless demand in the quiet room. As it rang, the walls of the library seemed to fade away, replaced by a violent rush of old memories I thought I had successfully locked away. I remembered the very first time I had ever laid eyes on Elis. He had been so breathtakingly beautiful, possessing a soft presence that had made my heart painfully clench in

Larry's povI stormed out of the library, with the heavy oak doors slamming shut behind me as hot, angry tears finally spilled over my eyelashes.I kept aggressively scrubbing at my face with the back of my hand, but the tears just kept coming, and blurring my vision.My palm was still throbbing and bright red from where I had slapped Rowan across the face. But He deserved it. He deserved so much worse than a slap.How could he do this to me? How could he sign a piece of paper that traded me away to a strange man like a piece of property?Was it because he knew that I cared about him? Was he using my feelings as a way to manipulate me into doing exactly what he wanted?If that was the case, then fuck him! Fuck his stupid alliance and fuck it all! I was done!Heavy, fast-paced footsteps echoed down the grand corridor behind me and I spun around, my chest heaving, fully expecting to see Rowan coming to yell at me or drag me back. But it wasn't Rowan.It was Calvin."Leave me the hell al

Larry's povThe look on Rowan’s face was absolutely terrifying.The dark, heavy shadows rolling off his body made the air in the small guest room almost impossible to breathe.Calvin’s smug expression had vanished instantly, and was now replaced by pure horror.He scrambled and practically threw me off his lap as he rushed to stand up, while raising his hands in a panic."Rowan? Rowan wait! Calm down," Calvin stammered, while stepping back to distance himself from a furious looking Rowan.But Rowan wasn't listening. He was getting more and more enraged by the second.I watched, feeling paralyzed, as his eyes began to shift. They weren't just one color anymore; they were glowing with a terrifying, vibrant mix of bright red and gold.My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird. I was completely terrified. My body felt wired, screaming at me to do something, but I had no idea what.I was just so incredibly overwhelmed by everything I was feeling... the anger, the betrayal, and

Rowan's povThe moment my lips met his, I had only intended to quiet him, to keep his frantic questions from reaching the hallway where Sasha’s guard was still lingering.But the second our mouths collided, the spark of his heat flared into a raging, unholy forest fire, and any illusion of control I had went up in smoke.Larry didn’t just melt into the kiss. He leaned into it with a desperate, shocking aggression, his fingers clawing at the nape of my neck, and pulling me down as if he wanted to consume me whole.The sheer, suffocating waves of his pheromones hit my senses like a physical blow. And It wasn’t the soft, sweet, inviting scent of a typical omega entering their cycle. It was heavy, thick, commanding and so potent that it made my own inner Alpha claw at the walls of my chest, demanding submission to a force I didn't understand.Before I could even process the raw power radiating off his skin, Larry’s eyes snapped open.And They weren't the soft, hazy eyes of an Omega mating
