CHRISTOPHER’S POV
I led the way through the main house to the King's private dining room. My heart tightened with each step I took. I'd rather not make this invitation. But that would also mean giving his wife, our stepmother, a chance to show us how ruthless she can get.
After Mom died, it was like a part of father died with her. His wolf almost went crazy before he bumped into Lori, his second chance mate. On a normal day, I'd say he was better off alone than with anyone else, but his council of elders would kick against that. They needed their king, moonstone needed someone capable, and neither I nor my brothers were there, yet.
I abruptly stopped in my tracks and Harper bumped into me. “Christopher!” He groaned. Harper sidestepped me and was about to walk away when he halted too.
