The Rivaled Crown (The Veiled Kingdom, #3)

by Holly Renee

“I am not an enemy you want, Eiran, but for her, I will become whatever I have to.”

“She is my mate.” The words cracked through the chamber like a thunderclap. Undeniable. Unyielding. “I’d risk every one of you to save her.” Dacre’s voice was steel, forged in fire, honed by war. “I’d risk everything.”

“If you put her in a cell,” Dacre snarled, his voice thick with something dark and dangerous. “If any of you lay a single finger on her, I will burn this city to the ground.”

“Take anything you want, love.” One of his hands snaked around my hip until it pressed against my lower stomach. “Take from me until I have nothing left to give. I am devoted to you. Everything I have is yours to take.”

“You are my father, but if you dare speak of my wife like that again, I will slit your throat and paint this city in your blood.”
