Mated to the Alpha Don
Opening my eyes, I found myself being lifted away from the searing fire erupting from the crater, vines wrapped around my torso tightly, pulling me back.
I turned right as the vines set me back on the ground to look at Tia Melanie from across the clearing, her eyes bright with unshed tears.
“I had to be sure,” she breathed, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. “I had to be sure it was you and not Lilith in control.” She made her way to me but I held up a hand,trying to ward her off.
“I am the August Witch. The Dark Queen they prophesied about,” I protested. “Stay away from me! I don’t want to hurt anyone.”
