“It’s hard to believe that the agreement between myself and her father was forged so long ago. Tonight I am bringing my bride home, regardless of what anyone has to say about it.” There was a pause in the conversation. “You know, boss, there will be other people who will want to talk to and dance with Lexi tonight. It is her 21st birthday ball. Is that going to be an issue?” Xander stifled a growl. He knew it was her birthday but he didn’t want anyone near her. “I'll just have to stay by her side all evening. Conversation is fine, but no one else will dance with her. No one would dare take mine.” Xander knew that he had a nasty reputation, but he honestly didn't care. People would say what they wanted, regardless of what was true. He let them talk. He didn't have the time or energy to correct them. He was a king, and they were welcome to challenge him. And yet, he wondered what his mate thought about him. Surely, she had heard the rumors, the whispers and stories. He had no idea whether she would succumb to idle gossip. He hoped that she could love him in spite of it. He was reminded of the last time he had come to talk with her father, King Alpha of Autumhart. “We need to keep an eye on this northern border.

It was all Xander could do to redirect his attention to his work with the King and not watch the delicious way her hips moved as she walked away. His wolf whimpered as he fought for self-control. Tonight, he would be fighting for that same self-control.

“You were planning on leaving without even giving me a kiss?” Taryn shrugged and let a coy smile develop on her lips. “That was the plan,” she teased. “Well, I guess I’m just going to have to keep surprising you when you try to leave. I can’t have my mate leave me with nothing for me to remember her by.” His playful eyes sparkled. Her heartbeat picked up, but she ignored it. “Maybe I will just have to get better at being sneakier.” Declan’s lips curled up. “Challenge accepted. But for now, I’ll be needing that kiss.” Taryn rolled her eyes and went to peck him on the cheek. He had already anticipated that. Declan caught her lips with his right before she made it to his cheek. Taryn was surprised but didn’t pull away. The kiss was intense, and a surge of emotions crashed into her, nearly knocking her off her feet.
