A whirlwind of emotions crashed over me as I realized the gravity of the situation; she was set to marry someone else. I couldn't bear the thought of her with Augustus, the charismatic Alpha who seemed to have everything going for him. The idea of allowing him to become Mika's mate was an unbearable weight pressing down on my soul. In a frantic attempt to devise a plan to prevent the royal wedding, I struggled to collect my thoughts when suddenly, a warm hand rested on my shoulder. I turned to find Alpha Felix looking at me with concern across his features. "Cain, are you okay?" he asked, his voice calm yet probing. I shook my head, the desperation evident in my tone.
