Kenneth's POV The nerve of this girl! Who does she think she is to even imply that I’ve been weak? Me? A royal lion? A lion is the symbol of strength itself—let alone a royal one! And yet she had the audacity to suggest that a relationship could weaken me? She was crazy. I was livid. This was one of those moments I wished I were home, free to let loose, run into the woods, work out my anger… hunt. How dare this girl, knowing very well I’m a royal lion, still insinuate I was weak? As werelions, we shift at the age of 18 and graduate at 21, by which time most of us have found our destined mates—though some get theirs a bit earlier or later. It used to be easier in the past, but in the modern world, it’s become increasingly difficult. Some lions now wait until they’re 27 or even 29 before
