There was, however, one detail she deliberately omitted.
Not once did she mention Chase.
Only recently had she discovered that he was, unexpectedly, her fourth fated mate. More importantly, he was currently embedded within the enemy's ranks.

Even the Alpha King might object to accepting him into her inner circle before the truth came to light.
She also refused to jeopardize his cover.
