Doris watched the men wander back to their cottages without a single glance back at her and stood frozen in the snow. She watched as her breath form clouds of fog in front of her but made no effort to move towards warmth. “It won’t be hard for you to pretend.” Said a voice in her mind. Doris glanced around to make sure it hadn’t come from someone else. “What?” Doris asked out loud. Her voice sounded so small in the breath of wind. “That’s our mate, it’ll be say for you to pretend to be his wife.” Doris realized she was speaking to her inner wolf. She’d heard it speak a few times before, but both times she had been in a fever dream state where she wasn’t focused enough to understand what was happening. Now that she was more aware, she realized how strange it was to have something inside her speak to her like this. It sounded as if it knew

more than she could ever hope to, perhaps it did. But not about this. “He’s not our mate.” Doris said silently. She could have sworn the voice scoffed at her words. “Melody is his mate.” “We both know that’s not true. She faked her mark to take your place.

His blood is rare and not many can do what he does.” Doris’s lips parted a little. “Oh… is it because he’s royal?” “He’s royal, he’s an alpha. He’s not like any other wolf you’ll meet.

He was one of the most awful men to have a conversation with. Everything she said made him mad at her for no reason. Doris shook the thoughts out of her head and took her time dressing for the day. She let her long hair stay down and dressed in warm pants and a sweater before she pulled on a pair of knee high boots. When she finally stepped out into the snow, she instantly felt as if someone was watching her. Not someone everyone. She hadn’t even fully closed her door before she noticed
