My gaze never left Lucian as a grunted, "I killed our enemy. I killed Anna's father, yes, but I also killed the man who sold her into a world that ruined her."

Promise me you will take this to your grave." I was so fucking desperate to keep Anna from finding out that not only did her father have her mother killed, but he was the angel who sold her to the devil — and I was ready to murder my goddamn cousin if he didn't agree.

He took my hand in his, the wolves tattooed at the top of our hands sealing our bond as we closed our fists. "I swear to you on my life, cousin. I will take this to my grave."
