The Alpha's Chosen Mate
The Alpha's obsidian black fringe sways over his eyes, but there's no mistaking the black voids I am looking into where not even the stars can reflect.
He looks like Malachi, even sounds remotely like him, but it couldn't be him. This dark stranger can't be my mate. "What is going on? What happened to Malachi? The Malachi I know?"
His eyes narrow on me. "Nothing happened to me. I'm the same as always," he spreads his hands, and the cape lifts also.
Only... it is not a cape.
It is black wings, controlled by him, by his muscles. The feathered structures stretch outward on fine membranes, and unfurl to reveal such darkness it nearly crushes me.
