Chapter 51

• Nate’s POV
• The evening was quiet, the soft rustle of leaves outside the cabin a subtle reminder of the deep forest that surrounded us. I had given specific instructions to my guards earlier in the day: candles, wine, a table set for two under the canopy of the stars. A night to remember. Olivia may have been here under my control, but I knew there were other ways to win her over. Coercion alone wouldn’t work forever; I needed to plant the seed of love and affection. She was my mate after all.
