Alpha King's Unfavored Mate
“I… I don’t know. This book—I felt something when I touched it. And then—”
Quinton crossed the room in a few swift strides, his gaze shifting to the book on the table. When he saw the symbol on the cover, his expression darkened. He reached out, but then hesitated, as if wary of the book’s power.
“Where did you find this?” he asked, his voice low.

Quinton didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he carefully closed the book and turned it over in his hands, examining the symbol. His jaw tightened, and I could see the tension in his shoulders as he took a step back, putting distance between himself and the book.
