I was feeling guilty and lost. I couldn’t even look at Ashlyn when she entered the dining room with Mason. How the hell was I going to explain to her that someone else could have my baby? I was barely holding myself together sitting at that table away from her. I didn’t want to be away from her. Her scent and touch always made me feel better.
This was the hardest feeling I’ve ever had to deal with. I knew after she learned the truth about what I did, she would never want me again. But how could I ever let her go? Magnus was growling in my head. He knew that our mate would never forgive my actions.
I was sitting there in a daze until my father stood up to announce that he was handing the title of Dragon King to me, but what he said next made my heart stop and my blood run cold.
