RHYS’ POV.“So, I’m going to be staying in the same room as Brayden? I thought that as Luna, I was supposed to have my own quarters.”Gina stared at me with wide eyes before forcing a smile onto her face.“I’m only working based on the orders I was given.”She pushed the bedroom door open.I tilted my head and slowly scanned the room.This was Brayden’s room.Of course it was.Everything about it screamed Alpha KingThe spacious chamber—I won’t call it a room—was dressed in deep black and gold, from the heavy curtains covering the tall windows to the luxurious bedsheets draped over the enormous king-sized bed. A large fireplace occupied one corner of the room, its flames flickering quietly and casting a warm glow across the otherwise dark interior.A small sitting area stood near the windows, furnished with plush black sofas and a low golden table. Even the smallest details seemed deliberately chosen to remind anyone who entered that this was the room of the most powerful wolf in th

BRAYDEN’S POV. I should never have touched him. That was the first thought that cut through the haze the moment my mouth left his. The second thought was far worse. I was hard—Painfully, humiliatingly hard. The second I had pulled his arm above his head—the same way I had pinned him against his own front door the night before—my body had stopped listening to reason. His sweet, warm addictive chocolate-milk scent had thickened the instant I got close. It wrapped around my lungs and sank straight into my blood. Grey had gone feral. {Take him. Right here. On that sofa. He already melted into the kiss. You felt it.} Yes, I had felt it. Rhys’ lips had been soft at first, startled, then they had parted under mine. His fingers had tightened under my grip. His chest had pressed against mine until our heartbeats tangled. For a few seconds there had been no contract, no Assembly, no omega from six years ago that has filled my mind—only the heat of his mouth and the way his body answer

THIRD PERSON’S POV.The underground cave was unusually quiet. Only the faint crackling of the torches mounted against the stone walls disturbed the heavy silence. Their flames flickered restlessly, casting long shadows across the cold chamber and making the figures seated inside appear even more ominous.Cedric held himself stiffly, his hands resting on his thighs, while Victor looked considerably more uncomfortable. Neither man dared speak too loudly in the presence of their superior.“The situation at the palace did not go as we expected,” Cedric reported carefully. “The Alpha King showed up earlier today with his new mate.”“Yes, Black Wolf,” Victor added with a nod. “And unfortunately, Mia, who we expected to become Luna, was rejected.”Cedric continued, “She was humiliated in front of everyone when she had expected to be chosen, but the Alpha King brought his new mate, a male omega before us. And a son he claimed to be his.”At that, Victor let out a quiet breath.At the center o

RHYS’ POV.My eyes broadened before his fingers tightened and a sharp pain shot through my throat as my back slammed against the wardrobe.“Brayden…”His grip became harder.“You know something!” he shouted.I grabbed his wrist, trying to loosen his fingers, but he was far stronger than me.My lungs struggled for air.I could feel panic creeping into my chest, but I forced myself not to fight him blindly.I looked directly into his eyes.Those icy-gray eyes were no longer the eyes of the Alpha King. They belonged to a terrified man trapped inside a memory.“Brayden…” I rasped.He squeezed harder.I struggled to breathe.Then an idea came to me.“If you kill me…” I managed to whisper as I forced the words out. “…you’ll never know who was standing at the edge of that cliff.”His grip suddenly loosened.The pure white white glow in his eyes vanished. I took a desperate breath when his fingers slowly slipped from my neck.I coughed violently as I stumbled backward, one hand immediately c

RHYS’ POV.Just imagine!A lot of weird, stupid, and completely not-supposed-to-happen things had been happening ever since I met Brayden.And don’t even get me started on everything that had happened since I moved into the palace just yesterday.It hadn’t even been twenty-four hours.Not even twenty-four freaking hours!Yet somehow, I had already experienced enough things to last me an entire month.First, I had to pretend to be Brayden’s mate.Then, there was the whole issue with Tyler and Mia almost recognizing me.Then Brayden kissed me. Or I kissed him back. Whatever. And somehow, I ended up sleeping on his chest.Now, I was sitting in the back seat of a car with my son and the very man I was supposed to be investigating.And somehow, I felt like an outsider.Remus had been talking nonstop with Brayden ever since we left the palace. He had so many things to tell him that I was beginning to wonder where he was getting all that energy from this early in the morning.“Dad, do you k
