Chapter 12

Harrison

“Are you coming with me? I thought you wanted to see the falls. We might not have another chance.”

“Where are we going?”

I looked over my shoulder. With arms crossed over her chest, she pretended to want to defy me—not to follow me.

“The falls. Isn’t that where you wanted to go? You know, our kind say that a couple who visits the falls together will never be parted in this life. They will fall in love if they aren’t already. Get it? Fall at the falls?” I sounded like an idiot again.

“Wow. That was horrible. You get girls with those lines?”

It didn’t matter how awful the joke was, it got her feet moving toward me. I held out my hand for her, not to signal anything, just to be able to touch her again.

Her soft fingers laced through mine.

“Looks like I got one girl with that line.”

“Maybe.”

We walked to the edge of the gardens, where an unassuming shed stood.

“Um, Harrison? This is creepy.”

“It’s our transportation.”

A scoffing sound came from my mate.

“It’s a motorcycle. Calm down. I told you, when my father is gone, we are free.”

Somewhere in the conversation, she’d let go of my hand. But she took it again before she spoke. “Don’t you think we should all be free even when your father is here? You are the future heir to the throne, Harrison, and even you feel imprisoned. Imagine how my people feel. Yes, they smile when they bring our tea. Yes, they are polite when they come to collect the laundry. But they are not free—just like you and me right now. What if your father decides to turn the plane around and come back? Will you pale and have to bring us home to pretend to play chess?”

The world stopped turning for me.

“I’m sorry. There’s nothing I can do until I become alpha, if I become alpha.”

“What? What do you mean?”

Shit. I had to tell Atlas about my plans soon. She could be an ally for me.

Some servants had come out to prune the roses at the most inopportune time. Even in my garden, there were spies that pretended to be gardeners. They’d never come out when I was there before. By the coal color of their hair and the same colored eyes, I knew they were black bears, not cinnamon like the other servants. They weren’t gardeners at all.

“Now this place isn’t safe. Let’s go take a drive. Come on.”

I unlocked the padlock on the door and jumped onto the motorcycle, kicking up the stand with my heel.

“What?” I asked. She was still in the doorway, not looking pleased.

“That’s dangerous.”

Taking Atlas to a secluded place while she was so damned tempting—that was dangerous. “It’s fine. I ride it all the time. Trust me?”
