ALEXAVIAN’S POV“What are you doing?”I stood in the doorway, staring at Andreus as he lounged sideways across my couch. In one hand, he held a small glass bowl filled with a thick, caramel-brown cream; in the other, his phone, completely engrossed in a movie.Without tearing his attention from the screen, he replied, “Eating. Obviously.”“Why here?” I stepped into the room, walking past him toward the dressing table that had remained untouched since Lorraine moved out of my chambers, and set my car keys down on the polished wood. “Do not make a mess of my chambers.”After dinner, I had gone for a late-night drive through the mountain passes to clear my head and prove Andreus had been wrong had been wrong about any feelings he claimed I had for her. It hadn't worked.I was beginning to admit, if only to myself that I had developed a soft spot for Lorraine. That much I could accept.Love, however, was another matter entirely. I was not prepared to call what I felt by such a dangerous

LORRAINE’S POV Estelle whimpered, scrambling to her feet in terror. Without throwing so much as a second glance at the monster, she darted over and scrambled behind my back to take cover. My lips twitched in frustration as the werewolf’s golden gaze followed her movements, finally settling squarely on me. Oh, crap. Why did she have to drag me into her mess? One moment I was enjoying the sound of crashing waves, and the next I was locked in a life-or-death standoff with a feral rogue pack. “Which one of us is delightfully naive and stupid now?” I muttered under my breath. Estelle ignored my jab, clutching my clothes so tightly that I could feel the violent tremors running through her fingers. “What did you do to piss them off?” I asked. “Piss?” I let out a harsh breath. “What did you do to make them so angry?” I rephrased, scanning the pack again. The beasts remained still until the one who had choked Estelle, the obvious leader of the group, gestured for them to adv

ALEXAVIAN’S POV“I can see it in your eyes... what you really want to ask,” she said, a wry, fleeting smile touching her lips as she stared at me. “You want to know the first time I transformed.”My grip tightened briefly on the silver tray before I set it down on the bedside table. “It can wait, Lorraine. Get some rest.”She froze the moment my fingertips brushed her ankles, but I paid her hesitation no mind, gently lifting her feet onto the mattress and pulling the heavy duvet over her legs.“The first time I felt my wolf... was in the river,” she continued, ignoring my instruction entirely. “Duke was barking loudly, but in that moment, I felt so utterly alone... my lungs burned as I swallowed and inhaled water. I was terrified... Alex.”My eyes fell to her hands. They were trembling uncontrollably.Whatever reprimand had been forming on my tongue dissolved before it ever reached my lips. She was not merely satisfying my curiosity; she simply needed to speak... and to be heard.My j

LORRAINE’S POV ​“If skinwalkers are real, how come I’ve never seen or heard about them?” I reasoned, my voice tight.​I never expected the main topic of conversation at this table would turn to skinwalkers. For as long as I could remember, they were just bedtime stories my mother told me to scare me from going outside.​I stared across the table at the men, completely uncertain of what to believe.​“If you are capable of accepting the existence of immortals, why is it so difficult for you to believe skinwalkers exist?” Andreus asked casually, resting his chin on his palm.​I spluttered, the air catching in my throat. “What?”​Instinctively, I threw a frantic glance over at Casimir.​My palms grew slick with cold sweat as Casimir offered me a subtle, barely noticeable nod.​They knew?I’d thought no one found out that I sneaked into the old throne room and my discovery about their immortality.​But of course they knew. Andreus said the footprints in the dust belonged to a female, but

LORRAINE’S POVI stood outside Alexavian’s room, completely unsure of how to face him after what had just happened.After that little confrontation inside his room, I had quickly hurried back to my own wing to avoid facing him.Who knew I’d be sent right back by Jules to call him?This wasn't my first time entering his private wing, but everything felt completely different after the kiss we shared earlier.Okay, fine. It wasn't a kiss, just a fleeting brush of lips, but still...My fingers ran slowly over my lip. I could still feel his warmth lingering against my skin.“Miss, the car is ready. Have you reminded the lord? At this rate, we might end up spending the night on the road.”Jules’s voice instantly wiped the stupid smile off my face.I had been daydreaming. In that moment, I was profoundly grateful that nobody in this pack could read minds, or I would have willingly swallowed a dose of wolfsbane just to hide my embarrassment.“Ah! Yes, I was just about to knock,” I said quickl
