“Dead serious,” Morgana said, resting her chin on her hand like she was just talking about the weather. “Vaughn picked you himself. I’m just the messenger.”
I couldn’t believe it.
Last time we met, he called me a hopeless romantic with nothing else in my brain. Now he wanted to form a mate with me?
“Guess we’re just that charming,” Nita said proudly in my head, practically humming.
I ignored her and looked down. “I’m honored, Your Highness. But honestly, I don’t think I’m a good match for the King.”
“How are you not a good match?” Morgana tilted her head, like I was playing dumb.
“You’re General Conlay’s daughter. You’re an Alpha she–wolf. You fought in the Battle of Vagen. If you’re not good enough, who else in this kingdom is supposed to stand next to my brother?”
She even smiled, but it had a sharp edge to it, like she thought I was just playing hard to get.
I still shook my head. “There are many she–wolves more qualified than me.”
Morgana paused.
Her gray–blue eyes studied my face. Maybe this was the first time she’d seen someone turn down a queen’s crown.
“Fine,” she said at last, twirling a strand of her hair. “Message delivered. If you don’t want it, forget it.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
I meant it. I even turned down her polite offer to stay for a meal and left faster than I came.
When I reached the gates of the Royal Court, I ran into Samuel.

He looked like he was waiting for someone.
When he heard my footsteps, he turned and looked at me.

“Good morning, Your Highness,” I said with a bright smile. “Goodbye, Your Highness.”
After I said that, I walked past him and quickly stepped out through the archway.
Damn.
I didn’t even know what I was running from. I just knew that in that moment, I absolutely didn’t want him to know that the Alpha King had his eye on me.
But some things can’t be avoided just because you try to run.
Not long after I got back to Silvermoon Pack, Walter–the Beta by King Vaughn’s side- showed up.
He brought a message from the king.
The King said that he was willing to wait.
Three months.
If I still haven’t chosen a mate after three months, I’m to enter the Royal Court and become his queen.
Damn!
Was this a gift or a prison sentence?
The moment anger burned through my chest, I didn’t think. I shifted into my wolf form and ran straight for the main gate of the Royal Court
But the guards wouldn’t let me in.
They said, “His Majesty ordered that if General Conlay comes asking to see him, she’s not to be allowed inside.”
Dammit. Dammit!
I clenched my teeth and turned back the way I came.
In my mind, Nita let out a long breath, but the tip of her tail curled up.
“What an … aggressive favoritism,” she said carefully, but there was a hint of excitement in her voice. “I kind of love it.”

I didn’t even have the energy to argue.
A pretty decoration.
A vase.
A beautiful silhouette beside a throne.
I wouldn’t want to be any of that.
By the time night fell, Viola and the others finally woke up.

While we were eating, they told me they had to head back to Moonlight Academy tomorrow after picking up their reward from the Royal Court.
“My credits are almost gone,” Chase grumbled, poking at the meat on his plate. “If I skip any more classes, I’ll probably have to attend graduation standing in the dean’s office.”
Everyone laughed.

My bangs fell forward, covering my eyes.
“Thank you, guys.”
My voice felt tight in my throat.
“The Solantian werewolves killed my father, my brothers, my people. And just because of one letter from me, you all dropped your studies to help me get revenge-”
“Hey, stop that!”
