Chapter 78 Only You

Ann blinked rapidly a few times as she felt Maeve receded from her awareness and she was pushed forward again.

In an instant, Adam’s arms wrapped around her to steady her as she got her bearings. He smiled down at her as he saw her eyes regain their focus and watched the corners of her mouth curve upwards in a faint smile. “Thanks…” Ann murmured as he chuckled in response and leaned down, kissing her forehead.

“You need to handle your wolf better.” Leopold’s still shaky voice grumbled from across the room.

Ann tensed slightly as Adam whipped his head around to stare warningly at him.

“No, she doesn’t. They are perfectly balanced as they are. Despite what you may think, I hold no interest in wrenching your crown from you, ‘my king’. I’m content enough to watch your grip on power slowly slip away. We won’t be the cause of the end of your reign, you will have that honor yourself.” Adam answered him with a low growl.

Ann shivered slightly in Adam’s arms, and he rubbed his hands against her arms rapidly, in an effort to warm her slightly. She had been through a lot emotionally in the past hour or so, and all he wanted to do was get her home and somewhere safe so that they could work this through together.

He flicked his gaze back to her father and raked his eyes over him in disgust.

“I won’t ever abandon my mate, unlike you. Ann will always have a place at my side whether you approve of it, or not.” He said finally as he steered Ann past her father and opened the door abruptly.

“Where do you think you’re going? I haven’t finished with you both yet!” Leopold roared after them.
