I’ve never really understood the phrase “shit fit.”

Well.

My Omega definitely does.

As Princess Ahmad’s rich white-chocolate scent drifts across the queen’s parlor, the floor shifts under my feet. For the first time ever, the voice at my center is angry.

She doesn’t see an unimaginably elegant princess or her blinding beauty. She sees competition.

Another unbonded omega. One with more natural appeal and poise than we have.

The princess floats into the room, her asymmetrical red dress sliding around her legs, revealing a slit that nearly reaches her hip.

Great, my Omega thinks. So she’s sexy, too?!

I shush her, trying to ignore the way my stomach flips inside out when her sweet scent hits me. It’s… a good scent. Have the princes noticed that? Did they like it, too?

I wish I had Asher’s poker face right about now. Princess Ahmad flits her deep brown eyes over my entire body, pausing in particular places—my bitten nails, my unpolished toes… and, oh my God… the fading bruise Dair left on the inside of my left knee during our limo ride.

Oops.

Didn’t notice that this morning.

I could swear this woman knows I have no panties on. Her dark gaze lingers on my hips for a long second as humor flickers on her red-painted lips. Finally, she extends her hand and pins me in place with a frank stare.

“Nice to meet you, Princess…?”

“Ivy,” I correct, mostly because I have no idea what my title is. Surely not “Princess Addison,” and we aren’t bonded, so I’m not “Princess Everhart” either. “Just Ivy, please.”

She nods, her satin-smooth black hair cascading over one richly tanned shoulder. “Ivy, then. Lovely to make your acquaintance. Selene has told me so much about you.”

Selene?

She calls the queen Selene?

My Omega wants to snarl, but Princess Ahmad only smirks wider, clearly amused by my shifting scent .

Heavy footsteps distract us for a moment. An enormous alpha wearing all black steps into the room. He silently takes up residence beside the door, folding his hands in front of his broad body and snapping his focus to the princess.

Her sweet scent tweaks higher at the same moment her lips do. “My security,” she explains, eyes sparkling while they land on mine. “You understand.”

I don’t, actually, but a nod seems best. Queen Selene calmly joins us, setting a gentle hand on the puffy sleeve covering my upper arm. “Our Ivy will learn soon enough. I doubt Asher will let her leave this palace without two armored cars full of men.”

That image shoves a bolt of panic into my gullet. My answering laugh is a bit too squeaky. “Uh-of course not.”

The queen motions to our tea tray, urging us to sit. I slump back into my seat as Princess Ahmad perches herself across from me, perfectly crossing her ankles to the side without missing a beat.

As our hostess, Queen Selene insists on serving the tea. Even that makes me feel inadequate—she doesn’t spill one single drop while I can barely hold my saucer with how hard I’m shaking.

Princess Ahmad notices. Her gorgeous face folds into a frown while she watches me try to steady the china.
