So which king is it. Its not Winter
Thad dropped the stag and had Henry pressed against a tree by his neck before he could finish his sentence. His chest heaved, and his eyes blazed.
Well damn
didn't even know our pipes could produce water that cold."
Oh i bet they cant. But the King of Winter can

Francis seems to know something we dont
"I will always protect you, Winnie."
He cupped her cheek and placed a featherlight kiss on her lips before he turned to mount his horse.
"She could rip my heart wide open, and I would happily bleed for her."
"Where is Archer? That boring brute is never late."
It’s him

What? Lol
He doesn't look old, but he acts like he's been around since the beginning of creation," she
