Shadowed Match
Thorne froze for a second, and his face got softer, but he still said, "You're okay now, right? And you're a princess. Isolde only has me. Without me, she'd be in danger too. She's a victim as well.
"Could you ask the Lycan King to free Isolde from the cave?"
I nodded, even though it hurt, and said, "Sure, but we have to wait."
Thorne smiled, realizing we had to wait for the big news about who would be the Princess's husband.
"If you're always this nice, being your mate in name wouldn't be too bad,"
he said, giving me a quick hug and whispering in my ear.
Thorne as my mate? No way. Not anymore.
