“Let’s make a deal, Casey, sweetheart. You will accept every single allegation I lay on you, and in exchange, I’d provide the much sought-after elixir that would save your Alpha’s life.”

Casey drew in a deep breath, feeling an unfamiliar tightening in her chest. She knew she was probably making a mistake; she knew how vicious her twin sister could get, and yet she didn’t see much of a choice. The Alpha was her mate, and despite how his family treated her with disdain, she loved him. Prepared to do anything for her mate, Alpha Trent, Casey nodded.

“I’d accept more than a nod, Casey,” her identical twin snapped saucily. “Let’s make a vow between ourselves and bind the vow with our wolves. That way, none of us would be able to break away.”

Tears formed in Casey’s eyes at those words from her twin. For Macey to demand a vow as serious as wolf-binding meant she was planning something very vicious. “Do we really have to, sister?”

Macey’s answering laughter was a mixture of sauciness and disdain. “Of course we do, Sister. Just make sure you love your Alpha enough to make this sacrifice for him.”

Casey straightened her back. “Of course, I love him that much – I… we are expecting our first child.” She bent her head slightly to stare lovingly at her lower belly, missing the look of pure envy her sister shot her way.

“Good. Now, make the wolf-binding vow.”

Casey nodded. “I, Casey, bind my wolf to my vow…”

The herb Casey made had failed—Varkis's scent was gone, and frustration gnawed at him. His jaw tightened, lips muttering, "Damn it all." Rifles and traps lay spread out, glinting in the light, a secret he didn't want anyone seeing.</p>

<p>The door creaked open, and Casey stepped in, soaked from the storm outside, water dripping from her hair onto the floor. Her dress clung to her body, outlining her curves, the wet fabric nearly see-through, he could see her erect nipples as her chest rise with quick breaths. Vlad's eyes flicked to her boobs, then snapped away, focusing hard on the dagger, his grip tightening, cheeks flushing slightly.</p>
