“That is my name. Anna.” Stubborn, adamant, determined to reveal only what she wanted to reveal.

I put on some speed getting her inside.

The day wasn’t nearly as pleasant anymore.

How was I ever supposed to get anywhere with her?

It was almost a relief to wheel her back to the room and call on the women to help her into bed.

For the first time, I was starting to wonder if my dragon knew what he was talking about when he called her our mate. How was I supposed to bring her into my life when I couldn’t get a single grain of truth from her?

I decided to find Gate and vent to him about it, or else risk blowing up at someone. Or shifting without warning—which would be infinitely worse, especially if “Anna” was around to see it.

Except that Gate found me first.

“We have a problem,” he growled, gesturing for me to follow him to Mary’s office.
