"Yes, Your Highness? You were looking for me?" I curtsied, not meeting his eyes.
He took a step forward, "Xianne, I've come to personally invite you to the next mating party. I was disappointed you couldn't attend the last one."
Why on earth is he doing this?
My eyes traveled around the people listening, even the gammas who tried to keep a straight face, couldn't keep their ears from perking.
I am not interested in attending the mating party!
My heart races as I feel my ears burning. "Prince Alaric, I'm honored, but—
"Please, Xianne. Attend the party. It would mean a great deal to me."
I sighed, opening my mouth to complete my original sentence when he clapped.
"Alright! I knew you couldn't resist the bond."
BOND!?
"The gammas will pick you up at 8 o'clock. I'll deliver the dress of my liking. You must wear it."
