The problem is I can't stop it. Michael Dorian: I know I'm being used. I've been Anna's hook up for years. I was happy just pleasing her. I was happy not committing to her. That was until she started seeing this soldier. Now I'm a powder keg waiting to explode. Anna's mine, and I will prove it to her. Even if I have to commit treason to do it. River Blake: I want my title. It's my birth right. My father won't give it to me until I find my fated, but that could take forever. At least I thought it would.
