Rip

There are many productive ways I should be spending my time, especially knowing my pack isn’t safe from Michael. I pride myself on the safety of my pack, but these last few weeks, I’ve felt little more than a failure. A King Alpha who cannot protect his pack is no alpha at all. Giving in to failure is exactly what Michael wants, though, and I refuse to submit to a traitor who goes against their own kind.

I could also spend my time finding wolfsbane to help cure the wolves withering away in the infirmary. My team of healers has been working around the clock to find something to ease the pain of the cursed wolves. There may not be another cure besides wolfsbane, but that doesn’t stop Lucielle from trying.

I should be with her now.

But no.

Instead, I’m pacing back and forth in the courtyard, dressed in a suit I’ve never touched before, waiting to have dinner with my wife. Conflicting feelings war inside me. On one hand, I shouldn’t allow myself the luxury of a date when my pack is suffering. But on the other hand, I need to strengthen the bond with my Luna. Rose and Malix said love is the only way to come out victorious in this war.

I don’t know if what I feel for Hettie is love, but it’s…something. Fragile. Breakable. Explosive. I don’t know what to think about my feelings toward my wife, but I know she’s mine.

“Where are they?” My voice comes out as a sneer. From my peripheral vision, I see Thorne smirk. He stands on guard just a few feet away from me. I have him here to calm me, but it’s not working. Unfortunately, Thorne is in my line of fire.

“They should be here soon. Perhaps a drink of champagne will ease your nerves.”

“Perhaps not,” I hiss. If Thorne takes my attitude personally, he doesn’t show it. He knows me well enough to know I’m not angry at him. I’m not truly angry at all, but rather restless. I don’t think that will go away until I see Hettie.

As if thinking her name brings her into existence, I feel her near. Our bond is weak, but it’s enough to know she’s made it back inside the packhouse. The soft smile on Thorne’s lips tells me he senses Tallie. Under normal circumstances, I would make fun of his obsession with his mate. That was before I had one of my own. I get it now. Maybe not on the same level as Thorne and Tallie because they fell deeply in love before mating, but the things I feel for Hettie…make me absolutely feral.

The smell of Hettie perfumes the air, lavender reminding me of a spring day, so out of place in our wintery weather. I turn in time to see Tallie walk through the glass doors. She gives me a wink before stepping out of the way, exposing my wife.

Our eyes meet, and time stops.

Hettie wears a floor-length red gown. The billowy sleeves are sheer, cuffing at her wrists.
