A smug smile appeared on her step sister's lips when she finally revealed she was actually pregnant with her mate's child. Her father's futile attempt to apologize, for ignoring her all this time, because he had his own reasons and asked her to understand. A plea of forgiveness from her mate as he begged her not to reject him, claiming it was just a stupid mistake that he shouldn't have made. And to top it off, a cursed alpha from the north, to whom her step sister was actually promised, is here to collect his debt, so she has to take her place as the sacrifice now. Darn!
"I believe if I were a shifter, you will be my destined mate," king Rowan said, as he swung his huge swords to kill the monsters that blocked their way, while Zaya protected them.
What a romantic word to say in such gruesome situation. Zaya didn't respond to that, but he didn't stop.
"What do you think about that, princess?" king Rowan nudged her head with his chin, which annoyed him.
"If anything, I think the purpose of your existence is only to annoy me." Zaya didn't have time with this, she was busy to ward off the monsters from killing them, but this king seemed to have a free time in his hand to tease her. What a weird man…
"That will be my honor."
"That's not a compliment."
"That sounds like one."
