“Natra punished us for the wars by taking away the females.”
I nod. “Agreed.”
“And now that we’ve made peace, she will give us another chance.”
“Also agree.”
“So she brought females from other parts of the world to our shores.”
“True, but some of them aren’t breeders.”
“I know, but my theory is that those Kilseleians who are breeders are also lycan mates.”
My heart starts pumping, and I shake my head. “No, no, no.”
“Have you let your wolf see her yet?”
“No way you’re gonna come into me fucking house and take her from me now. We had a deal.”
“Marybell could be a lycan mate. If not yours, someone else’s.”
“Fuck you, Lenox.”
“She could be yours, knobhead.”
I stride up to him and push him with my chest all the way until I pin him against the wall. Lenox is growling, hating that I’m showing my dominance in his personal space.
“And what if she’s not mine? Hm? What, then? She refused to eat for spans. I barely got her to bathe, sleep, and eat. If she won’t take me knob, she won’t breed, I promise you that. And if she won’t breed with anyone, maybe you think I’ll return her so one of your males can see if she’s his mate.” I step back because Lenox is about to assume his warrior form and we’ll tear the shrine and each other apart, not to mention everyone in the village could die if we fight. “I willnevergive her back. Never. Take your females and get out of me territory before I do something we’ll both regret.”

MARYBELL
The pleasant visit ended abruptly when Lenox opened the door and said, “We’re leaving.”
Gloriana and I hugged, and then I hugged Fleur, inhaling the fresh scent of the seaside. It made me instantly warm.
Seith barged inside, and the three of us slid a gaze to Lenox, who just shrugged as if innocent.
Just as they were leaving, Seith approached the princesses and handed them each a rug made of wolf fur. Gloriana looked like she wouldn’t accept, but Fleur gave her a secret shove, and the princesses took Seith’s gifts before leaving.
In the cabin, I stare at the closed front door, listening to the reindeers’ fading hoofbeats, keenly aware of what’s coming next and completely unprepared for mating the Alpha of this lycan clan.
I’ve been around Lenox and the princess long enough to understand how their dynamic works. Commanding and caring at the same time, the Alpha is the kind of male females dream about.
“What happened between you and Lenox?” I ask, still at the door. I don’t dare turn around. We’re alone, and he’s throwing off some confusing vibes. Something happened out there with the other male.
“Nothing. Come here.”
I turn around.
Seith is sitting on the couch, his back to me. He lifts his hand, palm up, an indication I should take his offered hand. “Come here. I want to hold you.”
He wants to hold me. Damn him. I resist the urge to hop over there with my ponytails swinging, and lean again the door instead. “You’re a jerk, remember?”
“I’m also aware of your emotions and your turmoil. If you stay by the door, you’ll cry after your friend, and while you can feel whatever you want to feel, I would like it if you did it where I can comfort you.”
“I want the jerk back.”
