A huge bang sounded, and then the sound of splintering wood. Grayson was growling, followed by Liam’s grunts.
I jumped off the counter and sprinted across the room, throwing the door open in a panic. It had been barely thirty seconds since I heard the fight break out, and the room was in total ruins.
The dining table was completely broken, split down the middle.
There were claw marks along the couch cushions, artwork torn off the walls, and shards of glass all over the floor from one of the balcony doors shattering.
The two of them were moving in a blur across the room, so fast that I could barely even follow their movements. They growled and hissed as they plowed into the walls of the suite’s living room..
“Stop!” I yelled in a panic. “Grayson! Liam! Stop! Please!”
They completely ignored me, smashing into the large wooden table and demolishing it. They were making so much noise I was surprised the hotel staff wasn’t alerted.
I did the only thing I could think of. I ran through the broken doors to the balcony. My legs were shaking as I climbed onto the railing overlooking Evergreen, nearly twenty stories up in the air.
I slowly stood and turned, balancing on the thick but terrifyingly high–up rail. I had never been super afraid of heights, thank goodness, but even this had me faltering.
“Stop!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. I was sure even the people beneath me on the road could hear my plea.
Both men finally stopped in the middle of the room, panting, their gazes swinging to land on me. It was then I noticed Grayson had shifted into his wolf.
My whole body filled with emotion and longing as I looked at him. I hadn’t seen Grayson’s wolf since Paris. It made me realize how much I had missed him.
Just like Grayson’s human side, he had grown much bigger since the last time I had seen him, but somehow still managed to make me feel safe and comforted just by being in the same room.
“Belle, thank God. You’re alright,” Liam said. He scanned where I was standing. “What the fuck are you doing? Get down from there! You’re going to fucking kill yourself!”
“It’s the only way I could get your attention. Neither of you were listening to me.”

Grayson’s wolf crouched low as he approached me, almost making me think he was hunting me until I noticed the way his ears were folded up in a non–threatening way.
His eyes were wide and worried. I realized with a start that he was coming to get me down.
“Wait,” I said, holding my hands out and looking down behind me to ensure I didn’t accidentally fall to my death. “Don’t come near me, Grayson. I mean it. I need you to listen to me.”
Grayson ignored me, continuing to move toward me slowly, trying not to scare me. He was now only five feet away from me.
“Grayson, seriously-”
I shrieked when he suddenly pounced, leaping up and chomping down on the front of my shirt and forcing me to go falling.
Liam called my name simultaneously, just as shocked by Grayson’s actions as I was.
I thought my face would smash into the concrete beneath me, but Grayson quickly flipped around, so instead, I went flying onto his back, encased by his fuzziness, totally unharmed.
That didn’t mean I wasn’t still pissed.
“What the hell, Grayson?” I demanded, hitting his side as I pushed off him. “Did you not hear me when I told you not to come near me, you big oaf? You could have killed me!”
Grayson shot several quick growls back as if saying, “I almost killed you?”
“Belle, are you okay?” Liam asked, now standing in the doorway with a worried expression.
It was the first time I noticed that his eyes were bright red and his fangs and claws were out, his vampire side in control.
I couldn’t help but freeze as I observed him, still not used to seeing red eyes anywhere but in my
nightmares.
Grayson turned and growled at him, crouching down in a hunting pose for real this time, probably angry with him for scaring me.
To his credit, Liam stood his ground even as Grayson’s wolf–who was an admittedly terrifying creature and larger than a horse–bared and chomped his teeth at him.
I slapped Grayson’s side again. “Quit it,” I scolded him. Grayson backed down a bit. I turned my gaze back to Liam. “I’m fine. Annoyed but fine.”

$021% 12:40 Before I could stop him, Grayson turned back to me and began incessantly licking my face, making me giggle and shove him away from me.
“Yeah, yeah, I missed you too, big guy.”
Grayson gave one last lick to his mark on my neck, causing a shiver down my spine, before settling his huge head and paws on my lap, nuzzling his head into the side of my knee like a sweet puppy.
It was almost comical, and I couldn’t help but giggle and run my hand over the soft fur of his head.
When I looked back up at Liam, he was watching us with confusion and shock written all over his face.
It occurred to me that he had never witnessed mates interacting before, so it must have seemed odd to him. My face brightened a bit.
“What are you doing here, Liam?” I asked him, clearing my throat. I tried to get up, but Grayson pushed me back down with his massive jaw. I huffed.
“I came here looking for you, obviously,” Liam said, keeping one eye on Grayson at all times. “I got back yesterday. Where have you been?“”
“Where have I been? Where the hell have you been?”
“Canada,” he answered, glaring at the wolf in my lap who was paying absolutely no attention to
him.
“Canada? Why w
you in Canada?”
“Your mate told me to go there.“T
“What? Grayson told you to go to Canada?” I looked down at my mate, but he ignored me and licked his paws, acting oh–so–innocent. Oh, he was so lucky he was a wolf right now.
I tried once again to shove Grayson off my lap. He whined but let me roll him away. “Go shift,” I told him. “You have some explaining to do.”
He looked up at me and huffed unhappily. When he tried to set his head back down on my lap, I quickly moved my legs, so he landed with a thump on the hard ground.
“I’m not kidding. I need to talk to you. Go shift,” I repeated.
Grayson threw an angry glance at Liam and then looked back at me as if he were saying, “You think I’m going to leave you alone with this idiot?”

“Liam isn’t going to hurt me. He tried to protect me from you, remember?”
Grayson didn’t look convinced.

“Look, the sooner you get back, the less time I’ll end up spending alone with him,” I tried again.
If wolves had facial expressions, then I swore Grayson would have looked bored. He plopped his head back down on his paws.
My jaw clenched. “Fine. How about I promise not to fight you on going to work tomorrow if you shift right now? We can do whatever you want for the entire day.”
That got his attention. His black wolf eyes peeked open and then narrowed on me for a few seconds before he finally lifted from the floor.
He slowly licked me once on the cheek–thoroughly grossing me out–growled loudly once at Liam, and then went bounding off to the bedroom.
I sighed as I stood up, facing Liam. Now that Grayson wasn’t in the room, I didn’t hesitate to hug him tightly to me, embracing my friend, who I hadn’t seen for several days.
He embraced me back with a relieved sigh.
“I missed you,” I told him, releasing my hold and stepping away from him before Grayson came back and got all growly.
“You have no idea how worried I was when I couldn’t find you the day Grayson found me.”
“I know. I saw all of your texts and missed calls. Are you okay? Has he hurt you?”
I shook my head. “No. No, he would never hurt me. Everything that happened between us was just one huge misunderstanding. Everything is okay now.”
Liam narrowed his eyes. “Why do I find that hard to believe? Am I the only one who remembers how upset and broken you’ve been for the last few months?
“That doesn’t sound like a misunderstanding to me. He hurt you, Belle. And I need to make sure you remember that and don’t just give in to the mate bond after everything he did to you.”
I licked my lips. “I know. I know how it must seem. But I promise you I’m fine. And I’ll explain everything to you later.”
Liam’s frown grew. “Belle…”

“How are you?” I asked quickly, trying to change the subject.
I didn’t want to have to explain myself to him right then.

Especially when my mate would be back any second and definitely wouldn’t be happy to hear me talking about our relationship with the man he had just been fighting.
“Want to explain to me why you just up and went to Canada?”
He crossed his arms over his chest, annoyance quickly taking over his expression. “Your stupid werewolf mate told me to walk there after I tried to protect you in the diner.”
Frustration welled inside me. I knew Grayson had done something to Liam. Oh, he was so getting an carful later,
“He told you to walk to Canada?” I asked. “And you listened to him?”
“Well, I didn’t exactly have a choice, did I? I know you said your mate was powerful or whatever, but you didn’t think it was worth mentioning he was King Grayson fucking Stoll?”
I nearly laughed, put off by that statement. “Grayson isn’t a king. He’s an alpha. There’s a big difference.”
“Uh, no,” Liam continued, a groove in his forehead appearing. “That’s not ”
“If
you want to keep your fucking head on your shoulders, you will shut your mouth now, vampire,” Grayson said, cutting him off.
He joined us on the balcony once again, wearing only a pair of jeans, leaving his upper half completely bare. Of course, he made a beeline for me, grabbing me by my waist and pulling me far
from Liam.
Liam’s brows furrowed at the threat. His eyes widened. “Hold on. Does she not know? That’s kind of a huge ass secret to keep from-”
Grayson was suddenly in front of Liam and had a tight grip on his throat, slamming his back into the wall behind him. “Speak another word, and I’ll tear your red eyes out of your head and feed them to you.”

Grayson immediately started to purr, and I heard Liam gasp for air behind me as Grayson released him. Relief swelled inside of me.
His square jaw made a grinding noise. He hesitated for a moment before answering. “He called me at king because I am one.”
“King of the supernatural. And, soon, you’ll be queen.”
“Yes. It’s a very long story that I planned on telling you when I thought you were ready“-he glared at Liam-“but, yes, it’s true.”
Feeling a little betrayed, I asked, “Is…Is this a new development, or has this always been the case, and I just didn’t know?“”
“No,” Grayson said straight away. “It’s a new development. Of course it’s a new development.” He reached for me, his chest already vibrating with quiet purrs as he pulled me to him.
I nodded, leaning into him a bit despite the fact that I knew Liam was watching us. I needed the comfort Grayson provided and didn’t care what Liam thought of me.
“Bullshit,” Liam snapped. “Are you gonna believe a single thing he says to you, Belle? He’s in the middle of a war with a Mortar. He used you for the power you provided him with once.
“What’s to say he wouldn’t do it again?”
of their chests..
“You two are being ridiculous!” I shouted. I looked up at Grayson. “Especially you. He’s only trying to help. He’s the only reason I wasn’t homeless for the last few months.
“He and his sister were there for me when I was at my lowest and thought I had no one. I don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for him.”
I turned to Liam. “And you. This is my mate. I know I told you that he treated me terribly and that I never wanted to see him again, but I was wrong.
