MARKED BY THE ALPHA'S VOW
"And if by some chance he did, who would believe him? After seven years away, he returns with wild accusations against the Alpha's mate? He would look desperate, paranoid, unfit to lead."
I shook my head, a new fear growing inside me. "Be careful, Mother. Cross is dangerous."
"Oh?" She raised an eyebrow. "More dangerous than me?"
The bruises around my neck throbbed, a reminder of Cross's strength, his rage when he thought I threatened Lexa. "Yes," I said firmly. "Much more dangerous. You didn't see him yesterday. How he moved. How strong he is now."
For the first time, a flicker of uncertainty crossed her face. "The lycan blood. It's supposed to be just a myth. A story."
