Chapter 15

THE NEXT MORNING LILIANA AWOKE, stretching, savoring the delicious feeling traveling through her body. Leo woke her up late into the night, frantic to have her and her body was still humming from their lovemaking. She smiled. She didn’t want to leave the bed. Her smile turned into a snarl as she remembered she didn’t have a choice in the matter. Palace servants would be in the conference room, Mistress Yoru’s severe face pinched in disapproval, waiting to shove more etiquette down her throat.

“Ugh” she said aloud. The woman was so snotty.

She briefly wondered if she herself had been that way before Adro had hardened her. Had she been the prissy noble, concerned only with rules and the who’s who of society? Gods, she hoped not. Now that the mating ceremony had been moved up, they were double timing the lessons. Information overload. Still groggy, she shook her head, squealing when a noise sounded in her room.

Kedric sat in a chair across from her bed. She gasped and scrambled into a sitting position up against the headboard.

"What are you doing here?" Oh gods, didn’t Leo say he was leaving security at their door? Where were they? Her eyes darted to the door.

"Don't worry about the guards they’re currently being entertained by my own."

Pissed Liliana pulled her blankets up her chin. How dare they? Allowing a male into their rooms when her mate was gone was a severe breach of propriety. If it got out that she’d entertained someone other than Leo in her bedroom, gossip would bury her and her family. Gods, didn’t she just yesterday promise herself she’d stay out of scandals?

Fear reared its ugly head as Kedric smiled at her, flexing his fingers. Disgusted with herself, she growled. He wouldn’t dare touch her now. Leo would kill him. Manifesting sweatpants and a t-shirt like the ones she’d normally wore on Adro, she threw the covers to the side. Standing from the bed, she glared at the prince.

"I'm not having a conversation with you in my mate's bedroom." She walked into the sitting room on rubbery legs.

He walked in behind her, a stupid smirk on his face. "When have you ever cared for propriety?"

"What do you want, Kedric?"

"No title, Liliana? Surely you're not so bold as to disrespect me." He closed the distance between them.

Liliana sat on the sofa and pretended nonchalance. "If you'll remember, I’ll be a princess in a few days’ time. I'll use your title when you use mine." She raised an eyebrow and dared him to challenge it.

"Mating to a bastard does not make one a princess, but it's of no consequence to me either way."

"Why are you here, Kedric?"

He stared at her for long moments, his eyes roving her body. "You came back without Kita."

Fear choked her. “I searched for her for years." Damn it, why was she explaining herself?

"And you found nothing?"

She shook her head.

"Well, then, it’s not to be. Leave it alone, Liliana and move on with your life."

Her eyes narrowed. Was he serious? "What?"

"That's what I came to tell you.
