He named me Coven Master of my hometown of Beckenridge, Scotland because of my strength, instincts, and fairness.Our village is made up of stone cottages we built ourselves, and is nestled between scenic heathered hills. It holds many businesses where my coven members work and thrive. We’re happy and safe here, and for over a century, we’ve lived at peace.That all changed two days ago when my coven held a Highland Games exhibition to celebrate Prince Dante’s visit and the bonding of two of my security guards, Flynn and Fletcher. Crowds gathered from all around to watch the events, adding excitement, energy, and unfortunately, danger into the mix. A gunman fired a shot at Ben, the prince’s consort, but his bodyguard Sam pushed him to safety and took the bullet.In the chaos of the moment, I was caught off guard by something I’d waited half a millennium for; the faint, sweet scent of my mate.

I need to find out if our future will be our own, or if it will be determined by a prophecy that was written before either of us were born.

By coming together, we’ll set into motion a destiny neither one of us could ever have predicted.
