Olivera sighed as she trudged the distance back to the palace without Leonard.
For a minute she had deluded herself into thinking that Leonard would accompany her to the palace. How had she forgotten so soon that he was also a taskmaster to the wicked alpha Raul?
She had really misplaced her priorities since Raul had swept her up into a whirlwind of romance and sex. She wished she could turn back the hands of time.
If you could, what could you have done differently? She wondered, shaking her head ruefully as she contemplated the question. There was nothing else she could have done different.
She could say to make herself feel good that she would have worked hard to stop herself from falling into the love nest and trap of Raul, but she knew deep within her that it would have been to no avail.
