He meant it though, and now I’m stuck here until he realizes that I’ve been framed. When he tells me we’re fated to be together, I think it’s just another sick prank. Turns out he’s serious about that too though. Now I’m not sure what to do. Mack: There’s something about Willa that has me intrigued. She’s not who I have pictured when I went looking for a thief. She’s not what I had pictured when I thought of my fated mate, either. Now I have messed things up before they’ve even begun.

Was he just a man? Or was he a wolf like the rest of them? A wolf in the shape of a human. If he was, she knew it would be pointless to run. He would catch her before she took more than a step. She studied his face and body. She would have considered him handsome if she’d met him anywhere else. Irresistible. His tall and muscular frame matched his chiselled face. Only the clear blue colour of his eyes didn’t quite match the bad-ass persona and the black leather pants he seemed to prefer. She saw he could blend in if he donned a suit and cut his hair a bit shorter. Still, the sight of his biceps against the thin t-shirt made her aware of how pointless it would be to run. His muscular legs attested that his bulk would not slow him down enough to let her escape. She would have to bide her time and wait for a better opportunity. “Are you a werewolf?” Sophie finally asked him, wanting to hear his voice and hoping it would calm her. “I prefer the term ‘wolf shifter’.” His voice was deeper than she expected. Commanding. It suited him but didn’t calm her as she had hoped for. He pointed to somewhere on her left. “Let’s go.” “Where to?” Sophie hesitated. ‘Did he plan to kill her right away?’ He chuckled. “You’ve seen too many movies, human.” Sophie stared at him. ‘Had he just read her mind?’ She gasped as she met his knowing eyes. He nodded as if to answer the question. “How is that possible?” Sophie asked aloud to forcibly steer her thoughts away from things he didn’t need to know. “My kind have abilities far beyond your comprehension, human.” “My name is Sophie. What will you do with us?” “That’s for my Alpha to decide. Right now, you’re coming with me.” He grabbed her shoulder and steered her in the direction he wanted. There was no point in fighting him. It was a struggle to keep pace, but that didn’t mean she would ignore everything else. Taking a deep breath, she put her anxiety into words. “I’ve heard many stories about wolf shifters, but none of them has ended well.” He chuckled again. The sound felt like a warm summer breeze across her skin, flushing her instantly. How could the sound of his voice feel like a caress? It should have chilled her to the bone since she suspected they would use her and kill her afterwards. Her thoughts seemed to dampen his humour. He sighed. “You’ve got it all wrong. I don’t intend to kill you.” “Then what will you do?” He gave her a wink. “I would kill you with pleasure if I was allowed to.” “Not likely,” she snorted. “Then you can consider me to be your jailer for the time being.“ “Great. Sounds like fun.” “It won’t be. I can guarantee it,” he said sternly. Sophie just shook her head. What on earth had they got herself into? ——————

Lord Gabriel Phel wants one thing: to rebuild the shattered fortunes of his people and restore his ruined house to its former station in the Convocation’s highest tiers of elegant society. Fortunately, through a wild chance of birth, he was born with powerful wizard magic, the first in his family in generations. If he can obtain a familiar to amplify his magic, a highborn daughter he can marry, to be mother to his children, he’ll be that much closer to saving his family. With her by his side, he can ascend to such a position of power in the Convocation that he can destroy it forever. Lady Veronica Elal, captive in her tower, has only one way out. To her bitter disappointment, she will never be a wizard. Instead, through a twist of fate, and despite her expensive Convocation Academy education, Nic is doomed to be a familiar like her mother. Forced to participate in the Betrothal Trials, she receives a wizard suitor for one night each month. Whichever man impregnates her will bond her to them forever. With no choice but to serve the one who wins her, Nic has one hope for control over her life: a wizard she can manipulate. Gabriel Phel seems like the perfect choice for Nic’s gambit—he’s desperate and untutored in wizardry—but within moments of meeting him, she feels the bonds of magic tying them together. Afraid of losing her will to the compelling wizard who touches her heart like no other, Nic does the unthinkable: she runs. Pregnant and alone, Nic eludes monstrous hunters, searching for a safe haven. But when Gabriel catches up to her, their adventure has only begun.
