Chapter 18

Four of us sat in the horse-drawn carriage while Raze rode out the front, insisting he’d warn us at the first sign of trouble. Talin lounged on the seat across from me. We’d been traveling for most of the morning and my butt was way past going to sleep. I shifted in my cushion seat.

Ash, Leven, and I sat on one bench, and Talin was across from us. All of us jostled from the bumpy path, and outside, the snow-coated forest glimmered beneath the sun.

“Have I mentioned how stunning you look?” Leven glanced my way, and my cheeks burned.

Who didn’t love compliments? Though I suspected it had a lot to do with my dress. I might not have been royal, but even so, I should get away with pretending in the chiffon gown Ash had insisted I wear. It was golden because he’d insisted it brought out my eyes. Anyone who joined royalty had to dress the part, apparently. With my hair pulled off my face by a tiara, my cheeks and lips tainted red with rose powder, I’d never felt more princess-like.

Talin snarled. “Only ten times already.”.

“Hey, the lady is gorgeous. Nothing wrong with telling it like it is. Half the men in Rek’s court will attempt to claim her.”

I snorted a laugh and froze in horror. Princesses didn’t laugh that way. “Yeah, until they realize I’m not a bear shifter.” Then they’d probably turn on the princes for breaking some insane rule they followed.

“They won’t care,” Ash said, cutting me a side look before blowing me a kiss. Heavens, the way he stared at me with his sexy eyes made me forget myself.

I smiled and took his hand in mine, adoring how warm he always felt.

“Well, you three don’t look too bad yourselves.” Leven and Ash wore several layers of jackets with black pants and woolen tops to block the cold, as they wouldn’t be attending court with the rest of us.

Talin and Raze each wore a long cloak with golden trim embroidered around the collar that was split at the middle to reveal black trousers and a doublet. Leven straightened his collar. He’d trimmed his beard, making him look younger. Still cute in my eyes. With his dark hair slicked and pulled off his face, my attention fell to the coat of arms sewn onto his lapel.

Seeing them in their finest made this somehow real, and for once, they felt like princes. I fingered the ruby necklace with a shimmering rose pendant sitting above my cleavage. This pendant alone might have bought a new house and paid off our debts.

“Why is there a red rose on your coat of arms?”

“Dad once told me,” Leven began, “our mother’s grandma grafted the first plant with magic.”

Ash had told me about their family’s rose. But something was missing. And I’d never seen this flower that was on their coat of arms. “How did your great-grandma get the snow rose to begin with?”

“The sorcerer had added her blood to the soil to feed the first snow rose, which is why it can resist the coldest winter nights.
