CHAPTER TWENTY

Amber made her way down to the Great Hall after sneaking out. That’s right, she was now living with a male.

Her fake bonded mate.

It was official not long after she had agreed.

Darnell had requested a meeting with Brayden Moretti, and he’d responded within the hour. With little preparation, they’d taken off through the castle and ended up at the royal wing, where the prince’s security had led them inside to a small room.

They were given refreshments, and Amber nearly chickened out a dozen times while they waited.

“Uh-uh,” Darnell said at one point when she suddenly spun around, his hand grabbing her wrist and tugging her back.

“We can’t lie,” she whispered.

“Amber, you are mine,” Darnell growled in her ear.

Even to her, his words sounded like the truth. She knew it wasn’t, but his comment earlier was still racing around in her mind, making her wonder what he meant exactly.

You are mine. Don’t make me take it a step further.

A step further?

How much further could they go?

He’d fucked her to within an inch of her life, and as he’d pointed out, she’d also peed in front of him. Or at least within his hearing. She’d never done that with another being in her life.

Save her mom and dad, probably.

It was too late now. Brayden had walked in.

“SLC Miller, what can I do for you?” the prince asked, shooting Amber a glance.

Amber leaned into Darnell without realizing as he introduced her.

“This is Amber Evans. She’s... well, she’s my mate,” Darnell said.

The prince’s brows lifted. “Is that right?”

Amber nodded.

“Is this male your mate?” he asked her.

Amber nodded again.

“Use your words, Amber,” Brayden ordered, his eyes drifting to Darnell and back.

“Yes, sir. He is,” she said and was surprised when a) lightning didn’t strike her, and b) it felt less of a lie than she expected.

Weird.

Brayden’s lips stretched into a smile. “This is new.”

“Yes, Amber has been...reluctant, should we say.” Darnell’s voice was rich with amusement.

She turned and glared at him.

“Ah, yes. I remember it well.” The prince laughed. “Obviously, you don’t need my permission to mate, but I assume you’re here because of the circumstances we are in.”

“Correct,” Darnell answered.

“I appreciate the courtesy. Obviously, there’s no way I would expect Amber to be parted from you, so make arrangements for her to stay. Let Craig and Tom know.”

Darnell nodded. “Thank you, captain.”

Brayden took a step and slapped him on the shoulder. “Congratulations. And, Amber, welcome to what I guess you could call a very exclusive inner circle in our race.”

Oh.

“Thank you, my lord.” She lowered her eyes, feeling a rush of emotion come over her.

He’d welcomed her into a group of honorable and respected vampires. Those she wanted to befriend. The very circle she had sat in with Willow Moretti and all the others recently, hoping these vampires would be a social circle she could be a real part of.

Now, Darnell had secured that for her.

Temporarily.

It was an enormous risk because if they found out she was lying, they wouldn’t be so kind to her.
