"Old lore. They used to say the Queen’s power was fueled by the grief of her lovers. It’s just... it's just words." "Is it?" Jax’s voice came from the doorway. He was leaning there, his arms crossed, looking at the ash with a dark, knowing gaze. "The 'Touch Curse' is already draining us. Every time we stabilize her, we give a piece of our own life-force. The letter is just telling us what we already know. We’re being consumed." The "Sacrifice Stakes." The words got stuck in my stomach like lead. I stared at the three men, my rejected mate, the flirtatious beta, and the silent enforcer. The idea of losing them all to make myself powerful was sickening.

“Who knew that dying could be someone’s kink?” I continuously couldn’t think of anything, completely dumbfounded by the situation.The hand moved. The tips of his fingers passed by between my breasts, almost tickling me, and stopped at my throat.Another shiver ran down my spine, and I had to bite the fabric in my mouth so I could stop the gasp that was going to leave it. This was fucked up. How could I enjoy the touch of someone who wanted to hurt me

Turned gay now?” Kingsley teased. Nathan laughed, shaking his head. “Nah, truth be told…” Nathan licked his bottom lip, sliding his hand onto Kingsley’s thigh, thumb circling softly over the fabric. “You’re the only dude I’ve done it with.

All she could think about was how much better things would have been with me by her side. She believed I'd have stepped in and fixed the mess. One thought gnawed at her relentlessly—she missed me, and she regretted everything. I shook off her grip, irritation flaring in my chest. "You think you can just say it's over and that's it? Those stories about my mom being a homewrecker are still plastered all over the internet. You think my so-called brother just showed up out of nowhere?"

"Aria's so stupid. Why isn't she explaining herself? Open your mouth! Tell him it wasn't you!" I wasn't going to explain anything. There was nothing to explain. Why would I ruin my life just to give some worthless man a chance to regret his actions? I refused to follow a tired, cliché storyline to my death. I glanced at Henry as he ranted, then grabbed the lamp and swung it at the back of his head. After making sure he was out cold, I hit him a few more times before finally stopping. There wasn't a rule that said only the female lead in these toxic romance stories had to die.

Like she couldn’t bear the bond.” I felt cold. “And the others?” “The third died in childbirth. Twins. It was going perfectly until suddenly it wasn’t. She and the babies bled out before anyone could save them.” His eyes darkened. “The fourth, about a hundred years ago, was found dead in her chambers. No wounds. No poison anyone could detect. Just gone. Some said it was the bond itself. That his power consumed her.” He looked at me, anguish twisting his face. “That’s who he is. That’s what his love means. Devotion wrapped in destruction.

I opened my mouth to correct it, to avoid falling deeper into this, but when she smiled, I forgot what I wanted to say. My chest tightened and my stomach flipped. Deep down, I knew what that meant, even though I'd never experienced it before. Werewolves might fuck around, but it was unheard of for us to fall for anyone who's not our mate. We only fall in love once. And when our mate dies, if we marked her, we'll die along with her. There was no two ways about it.
