The Princess's Second Life
Inside, her heart pounded like a trapped bird.
Kieran was waiting near the dais, clad in black and gold. He looked every inch the charming heir, his smile smooth as silk as he bowed when she approached. “Princess,” he drawled, offering his hand. “May I escort you to your seat?”
Her wolf snarled so violently it nearly stole her breath. But she forced her lips into a cool curve, placed her hand lightly in his, and allowed him to lead her forward.
From the shadows beyond the dais, she felt another gaze—hot, piercing, impossible to ignore.
