Chapter 193

Acat's bride challenged him at every turn. Made a mockery of his traditions. Did as she pleased. Told his secrets. Seduced him with her smiles. Lied. Laughed. Despite her flaws, she drew him, intrigued and enflamed him. Acat wanted her with a ferocity he almost feared. A passion he embraced.

Defiant and unrepentant, she stood against him, arguing for her rights, defending her sister. He admired her tenacity and loyalty. Now, if only he could get her to shift that absolute trust and stubborn nature to him and Chaob.
