Of all the things he had expected, this was not on his card.
"Why?" he asked, brows furrowed in confusion. "With respect, we already have the werewolf princess trapped in Blood City with the damned bloodsucker. And now… the Queen is to join her?"
He couldn't keep the bite out of his tone. The words "trapped" and "bloodsucker" carried the same bitterness he'd tried to swallow since Luna had chosen her vampire mate over him.
Queen Ravena smiled graciously. "The prince requested that I come to plan Luna's wedding."
Kyllian's wolf growled low in his chest.
Luna's wedding.
Of course. The vampire didn't waste time.
"She's getting married," Kyllian said, the words escaping his lips in a whisper so low he might as well have been speaking to his own broken shadow. It was a quiet resignation.
King Magnus sent him a pitiful glance. "We all knew it was going to happen," the king said. "I need you to stay and protect the queen during her stay."
