“What will become of us?” “What do you mean?” “After whatever happens, what will it mean for us? You eventually choosing Malenia? You marrying the princess? Will we just go back to being friends or are we actually going to be something?” “I don’t know, Summer. I’m all confused. I’m not in love with the princess. I love you and I think I’m starting to fall for Malenia. I’m trying to figure out what to do but there is so much going on in my mind that I think I might lose it.” “Well, when you figure it out, come find me. You know where I’ll be. No matter who you choose, I’ll still love you. Like I always have. It won’t change.” She kissed me again and turned to leave but I grabbed her wrist. “Please. Don’t go.” “Eryc, you and I both know I can’t stay. As much as I want to, you know it can’t happen.” “Please. Just a little longer. I don’t want to be alone. You’re the only friend I have.” “Eryc.” “Please?” She just looked at me. We both knew this was risky but I didn’t care. I needed to be near Summer. I had to be. My heart ached to hold her. To not let her go. I wanted Summer but, then again, I also wanted Malenia. Summer was my best friend and Malenia was just a girl I have been stalking for years. I’ve always been close to Summer. Malenia, I've watched her from feet away. Never knowing who she truly was. I knew everything about Summer. Will Prince Eryc choose best friend Summer or farm girl Malenia? It's a choice between two girls. A girl he's destined to be with and a girl he wants.

I stand there staring at Tyler or whatever he turned into. How was this happening? This is all impossible. Wolves didn't exist. I watched him rip the enemy to shreds. My body froze. I couldn't move. I just stared. My leg started to sting and I now knew why. When Tyler phased, he scratched me. Tyler turned back to his human form and started walking towards me. "Stay...stay away from me." I said, backing away. He walked closer. "Please. Ella. Let me explain." "No. Just stay away from me." My legs took me away. I ran through the forest dodging trees like a vampire. I was fast but I didn't know how. I've never been this fast before. Was it the adrenaline or had he done something to me? I ran until I got to the other side of the town. I tried to catch my breath but for some reason, there was nothing to catch. It's like I didn't run at all. Something's happening to me but what? When Ella discovers that the guy she's seen in her dreams phases into a werewolf before her eyes, she's terrified. She keeps away from Tyler but what will happen when he finally catches up to her? Will she run again or let him explain? She's his mate. It's destined to be. But will Ella accept him for who he is or will she skip town?
