The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf

　　‘This is supposed to be the vampire king? Yiselda. I’m not handing Nina over to that monster,’


　　Alec pauses, stares at Magnus, and snarls his fangs. Magnus' wolf teeth expand and he growls in response.


　　‘Now is not the time for a snarl off,’ Yiselda says to Alec and Magnus. Alec drops his eyes to Nina laying weak in the arms of Magnus. His expression softens, and he reaches out to touch Nina, but Magnus steps aside and pulls me closer to his chest. 'It burns,' I gasp, biting my lip and forcing it to bleed. My skin feels as though it is on fire. I open my eyes and tilt my head to see Alec looking at me longingly. His skin is red and covered with blisters, and I can see blisters forming on my arms as well. As I weep, the pain becomes unbearable.


　　'It's okay, my darling,' Magnus replies as he prepares to remove the blanket, he's using to hold me.
