Rise of a Queen - Book 2
When someone tries to kill you and sells your kingdom's secrets, it was automatic death for them and Annalise was no exception.
I had trusted Annalise, she was my fated mate after all, but when I found out she had been the one to lace my drink with Nightshade and silver nitrate, to say it hurt deeply was not nearly enough words to explain the disappointment and feeling of rejection. To make matters worse, she had been present during discussions of Clan wars and my dealings in Lonely City, which led Tobias to discover her role in an Alpha Bears attempt to dethrone me. Despite Arcas’ love for her, he never imprinted on her or wanted her to bear our mark.
