Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart

"Eyes up here," he said softly.

My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, and my heart skipped a beat.

Before I could reply, the music began, and my body instinctively moved to the sweet melody.

I found myself yielding to Lex's lead, my feet following his every step as if I'd always known how to dance.

The crowd gasped as Lex drew me into a more intimate hold, his hands guiding me with surprising tenderness and confidence.

The moment was both terrifying and magical, every longing emotion amplified through the dance.

Soon, I was lost in his arms.

When the music finally stopped, I found myself clinging to him, my arms around his neck, his hands on my back, our faces close enough to touch. He gazed into my eyes.

The ballroom fell silent.

Was he going to kiss me?

Lilly's life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household. Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost. At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments. They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.

Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life. But things are about to drastically change for her...

Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way. What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie? What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
