~ ROSELLE ~You know that moment where Cinderella gets to dance with her prince? Yeah, it feels that way. His cologne of vanilla and chocolate fills my nose… But oh well, I shouldn't be dreaming, because he's only going to look at me the same when he finds out I'm nothing but a mute."You smell different…" he mutters, eyes never leaving mine. If anything, they seem to stare straight into my soul as though they can see through every layer…"You should be careful…" he says finally, before letting me down… I've never felt so short until this very moment. With a height that towers over me, broad shoulders, thick black hair, well-defined jaw. He's dressed ever so casually… And I know he's not one of the guards, because they'll be in uniform, and he's definitely not.He bows gently, and then suddenly leaves me standing alone to think and try to solve the mystery of who he is… He bows, which actually means he must have known that I'm the princess.My gaze trails after him as he leaves. I ste

~ RONAN ~Nik is currently with her in a quarter Warren provides for us. In as much as it fucking aches me to have left her side, it's fucking pissing me off that I need to spend more time in this bloody pack.The contract is already drawn up. Since it was already printed, all my lawyer had to do was add a clause and send over the soft copy for printing. I glance through it the second time, checking for the clause that I demanded to be added, with a satisfied smirk.I slam it right on his desk… There's a cut bleeding from his nose. Even though it's been up to thirty minutes, I can tell that his wolf has not fully healed him."You're only alive because I choose to, Warren… Now, sign this… But don't think I'm going to let you walk away scot-free… I'm not, and you know I don't bluff… Sign the fucking papers, I need to leave this pathetic hellhole."I curse. His eyes dart towards the paper. The broken table has already been replaced with a new one."Are the terms still beneficial? If not,

~ ROSELLE ~My heart doesn't stop racing, because it's almost impossible to believe that the same stranger who caught me on the stairs is Alpha Ronan. The Alpha of Death. The same man Warren so casually signed my life away to, like I was nothing more than a transaction he'd been waiting to close.I don't understand why he stood up for me.I'd been bracing for someone twice the devil Warren is. That's what the stories painted, brutal, merciless, a man whose very presence ends lives. And he is terrifying, don't get me wrong. There's something about him that makes the air feel different, heavier, like the atmosphere itself adjusts to accommodate him. But he's… different. So different that my heart does something embarrassing every time he so much as glances in my direction.Which is dangerous.Because he's not safety. He's death wearing a very convincing disguise, and I'd do well to remember that. Six women came before me. Six. And not a single one of them made it out. Whatever he is, wh

~ RONAN ~I can swear waiting has never felt this long for me. I can't count how many hours I've paced, looked at the ceiling, run my hands through my hair, or even engaged Kael in a long argument about why he should've kept his emotions to himself.Nikolai is already back to doing his Beta job.Finally, the long-awaited moment comes when Elias walks outside, closing the door quietly behind him. Trust me, if there's anything I hate, it's the look doctors carry when they're coming out from a patient… over the years, I've come to read meaning from his facial expressions, the ones he wears when something drains him, or when he's about to announce that another one of my wives didn't make it… I hate that look."Don't tell me anything negative, you said she's going to be fine."He exhales slowly, glancing briefly at the chair right beside me and pointing there for me to sit.I'm anxious, and fuck… I don't have time to give it a full thought. I sit, and he sits right next to me.Another exha

~ RONAN ~She smiled. She actually smiled, and if that doesn't do something to my chest then I don't know what else to call it.The moment Celeste mindlinked me that she was done eating, I needed to check on her. Kael was more than excited at the idea of seeing her one more time, practically vibrating at the back of my skull like an overgrown puppy I'd never admit to owning.And now that we're done, I feel at ease, even though Kael is furious we're leaving her room and not planting ourselves outside her door for the rest of the night. It's for the better. She needs space, she needs rest, and once she's recovered we'll have time. I assure him as I walk down the hallway toward my room.Today has been long. So fucking long, and Warren has played a huge part in fueling my anger. I need rest, and I need my lawyer to follow up with Warren first thing tomorrow morning, which is a reminder that the contract he signed isn't going to bail on him as easy as he thinks.I push open the door to my
