His Rejected Mate's Secret
His scent wraps around me, intoxicating and dangerous.
“You forget who you’re speaking to,” he murmurs.
I meet his eyes. “No. I remember exactly who I’m speaking to. The Alpha who rejected his mate for power.”
The silence after that could drown the thunder. His wolf roars beneath his skin, I can feel it in the air, wild and desperate.
Then, softly, almost brokenly, he says, “You should’ve stayed gone.”
Maybe I should have. But as I look down at the twins one with my eyes, one with his I know I couldn’t have.
