Chapter Eight

Zenia watched Greyden sleep. Jericho had come to help him walk, and the alpha had brought her mate into his home. She came as well because she wouldn’t leave him. She sat next to him, watching over him as he slept. Completely spent from his ordeal.

She’d never been so terrified in all her life. The dark magic had wrapped around his soul, and Savannah said it would take more than a potion to free him. This fake mate of his must have paid a lot of money to enact such a travesty.

Through the night, she held vigil, bathing his brow in a cool washcloth. Maybe he shouldn’t have come here and found her. He wouldn’t have almost died, wouldn’t have been struggling with the moral dilemma of betraying his true moon-fated mate. She forgave him, of course she did. He was as much a victim as she was.

When the dawn came, Jericho came into the room to check on them.

“Did you sleep?”

“I was afraid to close my eyes.” She bit her lip. “I’ve been wondering if he should never have come here. Never found out the truth.”

“And have him live a lie? No, Zenia. It’s not your fault. This rests directly on the shoulder of that woman who took your place.”

She nodded, although she still wasn’t completely sure.

“Does he know?”

Her gaze flew to his. She knew what he meant. “No. I thought I would tell him after the spell was lifted, but it’s not the right time.”

“When is it a good time?”

“I don’t know,” she whispered, wiping Greyden’s forehead. “Maybe not ever.”
