Mated to my step-brother
It was a wound, one I couldn’t ignore.
“She was our kingdom’s secretary or as you call them in packs, beta.” Peter gripped the steering wheel firmly, while he spoke. “she died in the recent war against our rival kingdom, the Shadowfang kingdom.”
My heart sank with sadness as he spoke. I placed my palm on his muscles, rubbing it gently to calm him.
I think I can relate to this somehow, from the moment I was rejected by that asshole, Daniel. I felt like a piece of my life was taken away as my mate had died, and I had no hope of finding another.
