"Do it, Zach. Do it today."

"I'm sorry that I have to do this then." He cleared his throat before his stature seemed to double in size. His eyes bore holes into mine with a rigid determination. "Be still."



His Alpha command rendered me motionless until I realized I wasn't even able to blink without his say so. "Zachary Greenwood, you will reject one Lucinda Wallace as your true mate and mark and mate with Enid Strasser. You will reject Lucinda by midnight tonight. I give you permission to get to know Enid a bit before claiming her as yours. You will have no more than three months to do so and mark her as yours. This is on pain of death."
