When Eve heard that two clan leaders were visiting them, she expected disrespect, perhaps even scorn. After all, she was, but a human married to a Vampire Prince. She anticipated them looking at her with disgust and hiding their insults in sweet words. She never expected this...
Eve observed Lord Aelius Windfeather of the Werehawk Clan as he drank his tea, his sharp features, and piercing eyes revealing shrewd intelligence. Beside him sat Baron Mortimer Blackwood, the formidable leader of the Weretiger Clan, whose imposing stature and confident demeanor exuded authority.
"When our families heard of the marriage, we doubted the authenticity of the news," Baron Blackwood smiled. "I truly hope that madam can forgive our naivety."
"Please, there is no need to apologize. The marriage was indeed real, but I do understand why many would doubt its authenticity," Eve smiled.
