Jessica/tessa pov.
I stepped out of the dungeon, my mind a mess of thoughts that refused to settle. I could still feel the warmth of his fingers against my skin, the way the golden light flared between us. It wasn’t possible. It shouldn’t be possible.
How could I have two mates?
There was only supposed to be one. One fated mate chosen by the moon, or—if you were unlucky enough to lose that bond—someone you chose for yourself. I already had both. A fated mate who had cruelly rejected me, and Zane—my chosen mate. The man who stood by me through everything, who never once let me fall.
And yet… Adrian.
The name itself made me feel sick. His touch had done something I didn’t want to admit. It made my chest tighten and my lycan stir like it recognized something ancient and dangerous.
