"Make a deal with me, Lady Winter." Zavian said with a smile on his face. 

"What deal would you like to make, Your Majesty?"

"Until the month of our wedding, join me as my fiancé. If you do not favor me by the end of our engagement, I will let you go with no strings attached. I will even refrain from telling your Father where you run off to."

Freedom... the Prince was offering me my freedom. If my choice is to marry him or end our engagement, I will be rid of my father, no matter the decision. The walls of the castle that hold me prisoner will be traded for ones that hold me as a royal. 

I wanted to say no. The warrior in me never wanted to be a Princess or a Queen. But the smile on  the Prince's face and the promise of my freedom made me utter the words, 

"You have a deal, Your Majesty." 


Winter's journey has taken her from orphan to warrior, from warrior to princess, and from princess to queen. Unexpectedly, she finds herself in the arms of a prince, a path she never imagined she'd take.

After losing her mother at a young age, she was left with her father, who never wanted her to exist. Under such circumstances, it's no wonder why she accepted the prince's offer. Winter has made a promise to him, and now she must keep it.

He breaks the kiss looking at me, and smiles. It's not his usual smile. It's cold and calculating. Perhaps I didn't think my plan through fully. "You can by my advisor, but only if you keep this a secret," he whispers into my ear. I nod silently, ignoring the tears that gather below my eyes. I stare straight ahead to see the Alpha I met earlier. His eyes are dark and I see him growl, although I don't hear it. I can't help but feel guilty. I need to go to him, to hug him. To feel his strong arms around me, protecting me. Rankings #78 in "woods" 10/15/19 #10 in "littleredridinghood" 09/15/19 #5 in "werewolflove" 10/13/19 #6 in "littlered" 09/14/19
