Seeing Anja walking towards me in that off the shoulder, skin-tight white wedding dress. . . Goddess, there are no words to describe how beautiful she looked.I stood in my white suit, eyes locked on my mate as she walked down the makeshift aisle of flowers. I could sense both the happiness and nerves coming from Anja. But that didn’t stop her smiling at me, big and wide.I’ll admit there was a tear in my eye, and I didn’t care about the thousands of people watching us—hundreds in seats, family, close friends, and acquaintances.Our ceremony was also televised to the whole of Zidiah, and wolf shifter packs the world over. Everybody wanted to see their King finally marry his Queen.When she reached me, Anja reached for my hands. Of course, I held tightly, listening to my mother as she offici

I’ve been losing my mind. Orrin and Anja were bound to their room for the past couple of days, fucking through the heat and rut. I was put in charge as the next in line for the throne; Orrin demanded it as he dragged Anja away, which meant I had to stand in his sted. I had to make sure everyone in attendance was taken care of, and each left when they were supposed to. I also had to ensure no threat was brought forth while the King was out of action.I always wondered when I was younger how great it must be to be King. I envied my brother and all the power he possessed. Yes, I was jealous, if I’m honest, but the one and only time I got the chance to rule, it wasn’t what I thought it would be. I’ve got to admit; I fucking hate it! I honestly hate it more than I ever believed I could. I never realised how much pressure was put on my brother’s shoulders to keep the Wolf-Shifter world running sm

Maliki smells our mate as he races towards the lake. My wolf is practically purring by the time we reach Tracey. He drops my clothes from his mouth and quickly shifts into human form. I pull on my t-shirt and shorts just as Tracey turns her head in my direction.I narrow my eyes when I see hers are red from crying. Before I can get to Tracey, she’s out of her seat and running into my arms.“Adrian,” She sobs against my chest.“Baby, what happened?” I take her face in my hands, and my heart sinks. She’s been crying hard and, for some time, by the look of her. “Tracey, talk to me.”“I don’t know what’s happening to me, Adrian.”“What do you mean?” Tracey sobs, her head trying to hang, but I won&rsq

“I know you don’t allow humans in the mansion,”My eyes widen. “You brought a human into my home?”Adrian nods his head. “I had to,”“No,” I slam my fist down on the table, making Anja gasp. “You had no right, Adrian! Wait, if you brought a human into the mansion, how is it that I haven’t scented her?”“I masked her scent. Please don’t be angry; I didn’t have a choice.”“There is always a choice, Adrian!”“Please,” My brother holds his hands up. “I can’t let her go, Orrin. I love her,”“Tracey,” Anja suddenly gasps.“Wh

“I was scared, but I kept walking because the voice said I’d find my wolf.” Tracey continues. “I found him by the lake, only this time, he didn’t see me right away. Not until he shifted into human form, at least.“I was frightened, but only for a moment. When Adrian’s eyes locked with mine, the voice in my head again told me that he was my mate, and I shouldn’t fight the pull. But Adrian said that I wouldn’t be able to feel the mating pull because I’m human. But I do feel it, Anja. Every time Adrian isn’t near me, I feel like I’m in agony.“I don’t understand what’s wrong with me, Anja. The voice won’t leave me alone, and I can feel such pain inside of me. It’s tearing me apart,” Tracey suddenly starts to cry while holding her chest. “Please help me.”
