Half Truths

<p><strong><em>Isabella</em></strong></p><p>I've lied to those I love the most.</p><p>I'm the keeper of all secrets but I've broken that trust. I don't know if they'll ever forgive me but what I've done I've done out of love and loyalty.</p><p>To my family. To my mate.</p><p>To the little one I dream of every night . . .</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>Xadiel</em></strong></p><p>Everyone has secrets.</p><p>Some are harder to hide than others and yet I see the strain in her eyes. I feel the hopelessness in her soul but have kept my promise to let fate run its course. Even when the animal within demands to take control-to fight and be her protector-when it's against herself she needs saving from.</p><p>But then she disappears. Is taken.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>I'M A BEAST.</strong></p><p><strong>UNTAMED.</strong></p><p><strong>WILD.</strong></p><p><strong><em>And I'm coming for what is mine.</em></strong></p>
