Chapter 51Harper’s povBut I also couldn’t put my rut at bay. Even just thinking about her made desire stir within me, hot and insistent, pulling at the edges of my control like a chain about to snap. The meeting with the Council had left me wired, the temporary stamp burning a hole in my pocket, but my body had other priorities. I needed her. I grabbed a cup of coffee from the kitchen, the bitter liquid doing little to calm the fire in my veins, and made my way to her suite.I found Harper asleep in her room, curled up on the bed like she belonged there. I sat on the couch across from her, sipping the coffee slowly, watching the steady rise and fall of her chest. My mind wouldn’t rest. It kept circling back to Elec and the child she carried—his child. How would that affect my future? The fate of my bloodline? I’d bought myself some time with the High Council, but that time would eventually run out. If I didn’t figure out a solution before then, I might end up losing my territory. I’

Chapter 55Pedro’s povChapter 31While I ordered her to leave, Amber stopped in her tracks, turning to face me with that calculating look I knew too well. “Do you already have someone you’re planning to mate with to produce an heir?” she asked, her voice sweet but laced with something sharper. “Because ever since Harper SilverCreek was thrown out disgracefully from Elec Gerald’s life two weeks ago, she hasn’t been seen anywhere else. Funny how that timing lines up, don’t you think?”She didn’t say anything directly, but I knew exactly what she was insinuating. The truth.
