Samuel POV It had been a tumultuous time preparing for today. I could not believe we were being blackmailed into this bonding ceremony. Jason and I had spent all our available time looking for something that would prevent us from having to move forward. But we came up empty. Now we were standing at the ceremonial alter, waiting for our chosen mates to make their way towards us. I was nauseous. I did not want this, and I knew Jason did not want this. This had nothing to do with Layla; it had to do with our own dreams for our future. We had both wanted a fated mate; a mate handpicked by the Moon Goddess for us. Whether we were to share a mate or each have our own, we were prepared to accept whatever that would have been. I scanned the room and had to hold myself back from moving through the crowd to beat the smirk off Elder David’s face. There was something in this for him and I wo

Layla POV I had woken up early this morning feeling better than I had in weeks. I was more aware of my surroundings, and I felt like I was thinking clearly. I had waited to see if I would hear anything from my wolf. I did not. But I was confident something had shifted. I heard a tap on my door and then my mother entered my room. She breathed deeply and looked at me excitedly. “Do you feel that?” she asked. “What?” I responded, cautious to respond. “The dark magic has been removed,” she replied confidently. “You mean what I am feeling is real?” I asked. “It is sweet girl,” she replied as she moved forward to hug me tightly. “I am sorry for everything you endured,” she confided in me. “It was not your fault,” I whispered, but she continued to carry the burden of guilt. “I need to get to the Dark Forest Pack,” I stated. My mother looked at me, surprised by my words. “What?” I

Jason POV “We should go to one of our suites,” I started to say before Layla cut me off. “No, I want answers now,” she interrupted. As if realizing her defiance would push Samuel, I stepped between the two of them. “I am sure we all have some things to explain,” I stated calmly. Layla turned her glare from Samuel to me, “What?!?” I demanded, confused by her glare. I felt of the two of us, I was the more reasonable twin. “I am not the one who was rushing off to a bonding ceremony with chosen mates!” Layla yelled. “No, you just left us behind!” I countered. “I left you behind? I had no choice! I was taken, if you recall,” she yelled. Samuel looked at her, “How the hell would we know? We were not even there!” he reminded her loudly. “Surely William advised you what had happened,” she stated, confused at the conversation. “When did you become so friendly with our warrior?” I ques

Samuel POV It felt so right having Layla in my arms. Well, on my shoulder. I knew we had a way to go yet, but that she came back to us meant she wanted us … right? I could not prevent the fear in my chest. We had been so close to making the worst decision of our lives and all because we had accepted everything at face value. As we reached our floor, Jason moved around us to open the door to our main suite. We each had our own rooms within the suite. We would have to determine how we would make things work; for now, it was important for us to speak with Layla. To find out her concerns and share our worries. “Put me down, you beast!” Layla screamed as she squirmed on my shoulder. She was still making a strong effort at pounding on my back, but it only served to make me laugh even more. She would be a strong mate, but could not hurt me. Physically, that is. I slowly lowered Layla
