A Broken Vow
On Christmas Eve, Anna dragged me to a bar to celebrate.
“Cheers to our queen of agricultural research!” she exclaimed, raising her glass with a radiant smile.
For once, I let loose, drinking one glass after another.
As the alcohol hit me, I staggered to my feet, intending to go to the restroom.
I stumbled, nearly falling, but a warm embrace caught me steadily.
Dazed, I looked up into a pair of golden eyes.
It was a face I often saw on TV news—Sebastian Kruger, the Alpha King.
