Finn chuckled under his breath, lips against my ear. “You smell like strawberries.” His voice was husky and ragged and I bit back the moan that rose to my lips. 
I lifted my head and saw that his eyes were open and he was staring at me, our faces inches apart. My stomach exploded with flutters and I panted as I stared at him. My cheeks burned hot. 
“I… uh…”
Finn smirked and tightened his grip on the back of my head, guiding me closer to him. Before I even knew what was happening, his lips pressed to mine.

Finn was the Shadowmoon boss and the most powerful shifter in the world. Finding out he was my mate should have been the happiest moment of my life. But when he looked at me with pure hatred and revulsion, I knew I wasn’t going to get my happily ever after. 
Being a second chance mate was a burden I wasn’t ready for, especially since the memory of his first wife, and her pictures, surrounded me. How could I ever measure up to her? How could I compare to his first, true love? But the Moon Goddess fated us for a reason and I wasn’t going to let him forget that.

“You’re going to let me go?” I propped myself up on my elbows and studied Finn’s haggard face.


The purple bags under his eyes told me he hadn’t slept and his eyes were filled with all kinds of scattered emotions.


As I shifted, the sheet fell away from my breasts, settling around my waist.


For a moment, Finn’s eyes left mine and traveled up and down my exposed torso. His lips twitched slightly and I got that feeling again, like I was something for him to devour.


My stomach lurched and I let out a long, slow breath. “What changed your mind?”


“I worked out a plan that will give me peace of mind.” His eyes continued to roam over me but his voice was firm and steady.


He nodded, still not meeting my gaze. “I’m sending Grace and two guards with you. You need to remain in their sight at all times.”


I frowned. “Two guards is… reasonable. Why are you being so reasonable?”
