"You cannot walk away from me, Cian," Rosalie's panicked voice came from behind, which made Cian roll his eyes. He didn't turn around and reached out to hold the knob of the door when the woman behind him shrieked, "I am telling you, you cannot walk away from me. I—I am your mate too!"
Cian paused and turned to look at the woman behind him. "What did you say?"
Rosalie licked her lips and said to him, "I didn't say this because I knew that it would cause strife between you and Her Majesty, and I didn't want it to happen, truly, Cian. But you might have heard that after that incident, my fox receded deep within me. However, when I met you —I felt my fox awaken…I think— I think it's because you are my mate, Cian."
