Chapter Twelve

Nicholas took the steps to Castle Falk two at a time, barely stopping to greet Callius and his brothers in the foyer before setting off to greet his mate.

His mate. No matter how many times he thought about it, he always grinned like a madman. How did he get so lucky? Minerva Lykos was everything he ever wanted in a female.

She was feisty and fun, curvy and confident, brilliant, and surprisingly vulnerable when he least expected it. A goddess in the sheets, and a worthy adversary when playing video games. The game console was the next thing they’d set up that morning. He could not wait for a rematch of strip trivia and had been listening to a podcast featuring pop culture references just to brush up on his skills.
