I gaped a minute, trying to breathe, to react, something. Anything.
Shenka finally beat me to it.
"Are you saying Charlotte is a princess?" I met her equally shocked eyes as Isabelle frowned and looked back and forth between us.
"You didn't know?" The young vampire shrugged. "I suppose it makes sense. Honor would keep her from doing anything to jeopardize your bond. And I'm certain, from what I've heard of you," she smiled again, just a little, "had you known of the plight of her people, you would have acted to help them."
Was that hope in her voice? If so, what tie did Isabelle have to the werewolves beyond her family's past? Because no way did she have a reaction like that to ancient history.
Had to be a guy involved.
Yup, yup.
