CHAPTER 11:
I woke up with a bite mark on my neck.
Not a dream. A real, throbbing, still-bleeding bite mark right where my Omega scent gland is.
I gasped and sat up in the huge black silk bed of the Luna Tower. The furs were a mess. The fireplace was still burning low. And I was wearing Kade's black shirt - way too big for me, smelling like him.
And Kade was not in bed.
"Kade?" My voice was hoarse. My throat hurt from... from whimpering last night.
"Kade?" I touched my neck. The mark was fresh, the skin broken with four perfect fang punctures. It was still glowing faint silver around the edges. A Royal Alpha's claim mark. Permanent. No one can remove it except death.
Lira purred loudly, stronger than ever before, _HE MARKED US! HE FINALLY MARKED US! WE ARE HIS LUNA! WE ARE CLAIMED!
