He cocked his eyebrow at me. "What is wrong Gina?"
"Nothing," I stammered, my breath getting caught in my throat. My fingers could not seem to stop trembling and he noticed it.
"Your first time?" He asked.
I looked away, embarrassment tinging my cheeks a pinkish colour.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of love," he smiled, lying down next to me. "Just relax, everything will be fine," he said to me.
"You were not educated properly on what to expect on the night of marriage?" He questioned.
"No," I murmured.
"You don't know your marital duty?"
"It is to birth an heir, is it not?" I asked him.
"Somewhat. It is more than the outcome though. It's not just about birthing an heir, it's supposed to make you feel good. And it doesn't have to be done just to fulfil your duty. It's to express love, you know."
"But you don't love me," I stated and he said nothing in response.
I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath but my body was still tense because I could feel the warmth of his body next to mine.
After being rejected by her childhood crush and framed for poisoning his father, Regina is sentenced to death by her father. In an attempt to escape his wrath, she finds herself in the territory of the ruthless Alpha Dagen who happens to be her mate.
Dagen, on the other hand, sees her only as a means to an heir and a curse-breaker, planning to kill her afterwards. After discovering this, Regina flees from him and Dagen realizes that she might be the one truly meant for him.
Deep and dark secrets about her past begin to come to light, making her realize that she and Dagen's paths are more intertwined than she had realized when she was already involved in a romantic relationship with Lucian.
However, the two cannot kill the chemistry between them as fated mates. Will Regina fight the attraction and forgive Dagen for the past, or will she remain with Lucian?
