The entire town of Shadow Crest has been abuzz with rumours about the vampire king becoming my second mate. We'll be having Astrid, Ryker, and my parents around for dinner to talk about it all in more detail.
The moment they walk into the packhouse, we all meet and embrace one another, 'Please take a seat in the dining room. It won't be long until dinner is served.' I smile.
The kitchen staff have laid out a feast along the table, and we have begun to pile food onto our plates.
'So, dear, tell me all about the vampire king? Does he treat you well? Is he handsome?' My mum inquires.
'Amelia!' Magnus says with a snarl.
'What? I think we're all a little curious,' she says.
'You asked Nina about her second mate in such a casual manner, as if it were entirely common to have two mates.' Magnus says.
