The sunlight bathed my face, and I stirred awake. But what made me flutter my eyelids open was the soft movement in the room. The sun had been partially shielded.
I opened my eyes to see him.
Lycannar.
He stood by the window, one hand pressed to his chest, his pale–gold eyes fixed on me. The expression in them was like wonder itself, as though he couldn’t comprehend I was real.
Heat rose through me, and I smiled shyly, lowering my gaze. I could feel him watching me, lingering on the curve of my bare breasts.
The ache between my thighs pressed insistently, and I reached gently to cover myself with the blanket, but he came toward me with measured gentleness.
“Good morning,” he murmured, taking the blanket from my hands and letting it fall, leaving my skin exposed to the warm morning sunlight.
I stared at him, captivated. His eyes sparkled with pride as he lowered his lips to press a soft kiss to my temple.
“You are so beautiful,” he whispered, pulling back to meet my eyes. “How do
you feel?”
I lowered my gaze to my body. The dull ache I had been carrying stirred, a reminder of last night. And there it was. The sting of his claw on my arm but I stayed silent. I wouldn’t let him regret what we had done.
“I’m fine,” I said quietly. In response, he caressed my lips, lowering to kiss me softly again. My heart swelled, full of love and longing.
He was fully dressed in black leather boots and bracers today, well just like always.
“Occasion?” I asked softly.
“The throne room,” he said, nodding. “Today I’ll work with Baron, my beta. Honestly… it’s new for me, and I don’t feel ready to bond with anyone else yet.”
I smiled at his words. When I caught his usual frown, I reached for his fingers and held them to my face.
“You might not excel at bonding, but you will excel at ruling. You are a King.”
He sighed.
“That’s not how my people see me. They’re loyal because they fear my wrath. I’m the prince who lived in the Black Tower for years. Rarely seen, rarely speak… the one who abandoned his father at the memorial hall to make him suffer.” He nodded. “You are right. I am… strange. Weird.”
I paused, remembering how I had indirectly called him weird last night. Somehow, it had struck him more than anything else.

“Lycan.” I said quietly, and he fixed his gaze on me. “You are different. Not everyone will like you. You don’t maintain eye contact like others. You can’t last more than two nights outside this Black Tower. You won’t allow anyone near your sisters. You sleep in a bedchamber no one may cross, and you have a talking raven and a mysterious bodyguard.”
