The sequel to Beautiful Belle and Alpha Grayson (Kidnapped By My Mate). DO NOT READ THIS BOOK OR ITS DESCRIPTION IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BBAG. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. Cannot be read as a stand-alone. ---- Belle is missing, war is coming, and a royal prophecy written hundreds of years ago is about to be fulfilled, changing the lives of Belle and Grayson forever. Belle is alone in a strange town, completely and utterly heartbroken after being both physically and emotionally abused by the man she thought she loved. Struggling to make ends meet, she must find a way to support herself without being affected by the constant, agonizing pain in her body, courtesy of her mate rejecting her to be with someone else. It's because of this constant reminder of what could have been that she is closed off to the world, determined to do things on her own from now on. Little does she know, her mate, the man who broke her, is searching for her. And he won't stop until he finds her. Grayson has spent the last few months watching his mate and love of his life get abused by the vampire controlling his body. Finally, he has been set free. However, things aren't as simple as they seem. Now that he's back in control, he has more than a few things to worry about. Becoming a hybrid, half-vampire, half-werewolf, is one thing. Finding out that he is meant to rule over millions as king of all creatures is another. And let's not forget about the war between vampires and werewolves that is about to take place in his backyard. But none of that matters after he finds out that his mate is nowhere to be found, having escaped him before he got the chance to explain what really happened. She is out in the world, completely unprotected, no idea that she is meant to take the throne alongside Grayson as the new queen of all creatures. A target has been placed on Belle's back. Many want her dead. Grayson can only hope that he finds her before anyone else does.

For years, Jace thought his mate was dead. And it destroyed him. But what happens when he finds her again? -- -- He moved his head to the other side of my neck as his grip tightened around my waist. He inhaled sharply. "It is really you..." he whispered. "Let go of me," I tried to say. My voice came out much weaker than I meant it to. "I'm not who you think I am." His head bent down as he placed a kiss on a certain spot in between my neck and my shoulder. Tingles shot through my entire body coming directly from that spot. A breathy sound came out of my throat as I tilted my head more. He chuckled deeply. "You're telling me that you're not my Everly?"
