Xeon’s Camp
Inside the tents of the prince and Mathena. Xeon awakened. It was nearly morning, and outside their tent, the she-wolves, the patrol, and Valerio’s men were howling and roaming the area.
Xeon yawned and thought about what happened again to his mate a few days ago.
After what happened to Mathena, when she was attacked by some feral werewolf, he had been so paranoid that it would happen again. The wolf didn't manage to change her into one of his kind, but the feral may have succeeded if he hadn't marked her. Everyone knew not to cross the line because of her mark. Being the prince's mate, her blood would be lethal, but it didn't stop the feral from hurting his Mathena. The bastard, who had lashed her, almost raped her, battered her, and wounded her.
Xeon snarled as he conside
