Life Over Mission
Cole held onto his mate as tightly as he could without causing her any pain. After all the times she'd gone weak just by being wrapped in his arms and the confidence he'd had in her reacting that way. He hoped they would all vanish and just this once, it would happen again. Katie struggled with the war in her mind. It was the second time she was coming face to face with the rogue king. The only difference was that this time, she had the power to put him down, or at least, that's what she thought and felt coursing through her body.
Without caring for the rogues behind him, Cole let them flee, his mind trying to find entry into that of his mate. Katie had blocked everything out in her state of despair. The rogue king had taken the opportunity to run. "Cole, let me go. I have to finish him off before he gets away."
"You made a promise to me, Katie. I don't intend to let you break it," the man responded, holding the girl even as she resisted.
