"Keep your eyes closed,” he whispered in my ear and my heart skipped a beat.
The heat of his kiss against my neck sent a shiver down my spine. His hands moved up to my face, caressing my cheeks and chin as his mouth moved across my skin, sending sparks of pleasure through me. 
He continued to explore my body and brought me closer to him. My eyes fluttered open, locking with his tender gaze.
Then I snapped out of it. 
I wanted to kiss him, to feel his lips pressed against mine, but I couldn’t.
It was a mistake. I should pull away…

I was born as an omega and died as an omega, but before my miserable demise, my enemy revealed that my real identity was an alpha princess.
When I woke up from my nightmare, I vowed to hunt down those who wronged me and to bring happiness to those who I loved. 
My enemies got what they deserved, however, those I love weren’t exactly happy.
Because now, they all want me.

“Everyone stay calm,” my father announced. “The palace is well guarded and my soldiers are tracking the intruder down as we speak. I apologize for the commotion. Fresh refreshments will be served, and you can rest easy tonight knowing she will be caught and brought to justice.”


Murmurs went through the crowd and I could see people were starting to relax. I wondered why he didn’t identify Astrid as a witch. It was probably for the better to keep the panic down.
