An unintentional reminder that Cassidy knew the Queen who had ruled Ebon Askavi well enough to address her casually Should he warn Gray about who--and what--Jaenelle Angelline had been?

When Lucivar opened the sitting room door, Theran still hadn’t decided howto see Then it was too late to decide because as the people in the rooolden-haired woot close enough to touch her His face was filled with awed delight, and he looked at her as if he’d spent his life in a desert and she was the pool of water he’d searched for

"Ladies, this is Prince Jared Blaed Grayhaven and Prince Theran Grayhaven," Lucivar said "Gentle a little breathless as he stared at Jaenelle

Jaenelle smiled "I was the Queen Now--"

"She’s still the Queen"

Threeequally annoyed

"--I’m Daemon’s wife"

"The Lady honors me," Daemon purred

Oh, the look on Gray’s face The look in his eyes as he gave Daelance before focusing on Jaenelle

"Of course you are," Gray said The words sounded sincere The tone said he was siding with the other h narrowed eyes Then she shook her head and sighed "Why do I bother arguing with any ?" Lucivar replied

"Before we throw our guests into the faame of ‘snap and snarl,’ why doesn’t someone finish the introductions?" Saetan said

The Eyrien woh Lord clapped a hand over her hter

"I’m sorry," she said "But it’s a perfect description of so is my wife, Marian," Lucivar said

This Purple Dusk-Jeweled witch was married to Yaslana? How did she survive?

If they intended to question hiot the chance because Gray blurted out, "Cassie doesn’t want to put down roots"

So quiet, terrible, and predatory filled the roo he’d never felt anyplace else or in anyone else--not even Talon, as the darkest-Jeweled ht seeds froarden," Gray said, "but she doesn’t want to plant therow in Dena Nehele soil"

Afaded from the room Then Daemon said, "That’s a prudent decision, Gray Windblown seeds could spread for miles"

Gray looked stricken, and Theran wanted to erase Dae earlier that day

"What about bulbs?" Lucivar said "So that could be contained in pots? Marian does that in her garden when she wants a particular plant but wants to control where it grows"

"So does Jaenelle," Daereed "But perhaps finding coround would be a better idea for this first year"

"Corows in most of the Territories in Kaeleer," Saetan said "If you put theether, you’ll notice differences, but if sonized as ‘daisy’ Maybe you should see what plants are native to Dena Nehele that would look siht with her"

"A flower bed like that would re to the place she now calls home," Daemon said

"I don’t knohat the plants look like," Gray said<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
