Pala stretched, patting Nate on the ass. He rolled around, nuzzling into her pillow.
Oh, how she wished they had done more than cuddling. That she had managed to get him to kiss her. To make her his.
But… they were at war. A war the king might or might not support to the best of his abilities.

A shield against the dark.
Because Pala knew more about Lexus the Nymph than even Pan did. And she knew that should he fall, all was going to be lost.
For good, this time.
"Hey," Nate nudged her, smiling from ear to ear. "Hello, kind lady!"
Pala narrowed her eyes.
"Why am I kind?" she was going to put him to the test. If he liked her just for her looks, then they were going to get in trouble!
Not the fun kind.
