OCTAVIUS POV
"Your people would be fine without you. Humans have accepted them. They are merging with the rest of the world. Your achievements have made you obsolete," she says loudly, and the truth of her words smacks me across the face.
Werewolves, in general, don't need me. They are entering the human workforce and educational system, so they don't need the pack. They still need to follow my orders, but I don't provide them with anything they can't get on their own. My role as their King is pointless. In a few years, most of them probably won't even live in werewolf land. What reason for living will I have then?
"I'm sorry," Sara whispers suddenly, and my eyes refocus.
I realize I have been staring at her while thinking, so I look away. I look around at her sparse surroundings, and shame fills me.
She was right about everything. Even

OCTAVIUS POV "If I asked you to do something...something difficult. Would you do it no questions asked," I ask Garrett as we shift through this week's complaints? He looks up and shrugs before realizing I am serious. His eyes widen, and his eyebrows crease as he tries to figure out where I am heading with my bizarre question. "Sure. Why? What's wrong," Garrett asks, and I stand up? I haven't used the massage feature on my chair all day. I haven't answered a single request all week. I haven't been able to think past Sara or the fear I felt when she kissed me. As I stare out the floor-to-ceiling window behind my desk, my heart and mind collide for the last time. For 72 hours, I have been battling within myself. But I think my head finally won. My heart is too bruised and too scared to stand up for love any

AMBER POV "What is it," Lucian asks as I look towards the door yet again. "I feel my power growing. I also feel the pricks of wolves praying in my head, but there are so many I can't focus," I whisper, and Lucian instantly looks worried. He walks across our small living and crouches down in front of me. "Try, little mouse. Listen to one. The strongest one you can find. Follow it back to the source. Visualize. I know you haven't mastered this part of being a Goddess yet, but something tells me this is important," Lucian urges me, and I nod. My power has heightened enough from whatever is happening that I won't have an issue with energy. It's following the prayer back to the mortal realm that always gets me. My mind always gets lost or even stuck. Lucian says it's because the wolf praying doesn't have enou

Sara POV "Dead. He wanted me killed. Out of all the options in the world, he chose death for me," I think to myself as the massive bodies crammed in my apartment whisper to each other. My fingers run through his blonde hair, and the pleasant tingles from our bond shoot up my arm. Even though he wanted me gone from this earth, I am still happy he is okay. "You okay, Sara," Jannah asks as she sees me zoning out. "Yeah, fine. When should he wake up," I ask as my fingers still, and Jannah shrugs before sitting down on the floor in front of my couch? I nod before looking toward the three males that have fallen silent. "The Goddess said it might take a little while for his organs to repair, but he will wake up soon," Garrett says after a moment, and again, I nod.&nbs

Sara POV I clear my throat and stand up. His gaze is so intense. Too intense. More intense than ever before, and it is making me a little uncomfortable. "So what happens now," I ask as I smooth out my sweat pants. I avoid looking over my shoulder at him and begin to straighten up my tiny apartment. I grab my small throw blanket I usually have over my reading chair and begin to fold. "What do you mean," he asks with a hint of a smile in his voice, and I shrug to play off my nerves. "I figure you are more versed in the dating world. I know you didn't want a mate, but anyone who looks like you has had some girlfriends," I reply lightly before taking a chance and glancing at him. He smirks and shakes his head. His eyes twinkle as they stare into my soul, and I get lost for a

OCTAVIUS POV "Mother! Let me in," I yell again as my fist slams against the invisible wall keeping me from entering my mother's domain. I need to set some things right, but true to her word, I can't enter.Beerus- Maybe send her a prayer? Something she can hear.Octavius- That seems weird.Beerus- It could work. "Fine," I mumble out loud as I close my eyes. I feel stupid doing this, but Beerus is right. I have no other way of contacting my parents. They are both dead. It isn't like they have a phone I can call. "Goddess...it's me, Octavius. Your son. I need to talk to you about some things. I am here...can you please let me in? Amen," I mumble as my cheeks blaze. Beerus- That was terrible. I don't think

SARA POV "I don't know, mom. Finals are this week, and I am busy studying for those," I reply as my mother pleads with me to meet with her for dinner. I have been avoiding my parents for months now, and I really don't want to be involved in their issues. I don't know if my mom is holding firm when it comes to my father, and I don't want to ask because that will open up the entire can of worms I am trying to avoid. "Sara, I haven't seen you in months. I want to know what's going on in your life. I pay for your apartment and your school. The least you can do is have dinner with me," Mom says, and Octavius pops back into my mind. I haven't told either of my parents that I am mated to the werewolf king. I honestly don't know how they will react. My father will probably accept it because my mate is rich, but mom is another story. She d

OCTAVIUS POV "I didn't figure you would be getting ready this early," Garrett says as I throw another tie to the floor. I glance at him as he walks further into my bedroom, growling. He smirks in response, and the urge to tell him I know about his secret venison meal hits me. But I bite my tongue. Save it, Tav. "I might be an old man, but this is still unfamiliar territory. I want to look nice," I mutter, and he chuckles before sitting down on the edge of my king-size bed. "I get that. Mates have a way of making you feel young and giddy," Garrett says, and the sincerity in his voice makes me glance at him in the mirror. He smiles, and my anxiety drops a little. This is my best friend. I can open up to him. I know everything about him. He has tried to get to know me over the years.&

SARA POV "Octavius wasn't kidding when he said you have expensive taste," I say softly as I stare down at a tag with three zeros. Jannah comes to my side and looks at the ridiculously priced item with a smirk. "I have good taste," she says while offering me a shrug.I shake my head playfully. I place the hanger back on the rack and look around at the store. "Jannah, I have no idea what I am looking for here. It's like a sea of material," I say, speaking softly again. But Jannah just laughs. "We won't be shopping on this floor, Sara. I was just showing you the lower level. We have an appointment scheduled upstairs. Octavius had me call ahead. Most of these girls live off the commission I make them so I can demand anything I want," Jannah
