The Cross Connection

The Cross Connection
In a world where werewolves reign and vampires lurk, Arianna Cristford's life takes a dramatic turn when she discovers her mate is the powerful Alpha Anthony Gonzalez. But their bond is far from a fairy tale. Treated like a slave, Arianna finds herself caught in a dangerous game of power and defiance when the cold, heartless werewolf prince, Daniel Rodriguez, arrives to punish the Alpha for disrespecting royal agreements. The punishment? Prince Daniel will marry Alpha Anthony's mate. Thrust into a world of luxury and political intrigue, Arianna must navigate the treacherous waters of the royal court while grappling with her complicated feelings for the prince and the hope, however faint, that her mate will come for her.

The air in the courtroom crackles with tension as the fearsome werewolf prince, Daniel Rodriguez, takes his throne. His younger sister, the sweet Queen Ariel, smiles beside him.

A minister steps forward, reporting peace in the kingdom, save for one defiant Alpha.

"Who's the alpha that dares to disrespect our rules?" Daniel's voice is calm, but the courtiers know better.

"Al-Alpha Anthony Gonzalez," the minister stutters.

Daniel rises, his decision made. "I'll look into the matter." He exits the courtroom, leaving a sense of unease in his wake.

A week later, in the eastern part of Iris, you hum a tune as you pluck roses, a rare moment of peace shattered by the door's bell. Your father enters, sober for once, with unexpected news. "Make food for three. We have guest for the evening."
