We had a beautiful life together. Archar had sent me to him, knowing what we could have. He’s the one who set me up to work for the mayor so that I would be invited to government gatherings. He was the one who described Xade’s eyes to me so that I could replicate them as my own. I had fooled him at Archar’s request, but somewhere along the way, things had changed during these fourteen years. I love Xade. He loves me, he loves Solace. If I didn’t know the love of my true mate, then Xade would be the closest thing to it that I’ve ever experienced.
