14. A Ribbon

EVANGELINE.

Lucia stepped forward. “Welcome, Evangeline.” She smiled gently, but there it was again, the sympathy and fear I was getting so used to seeing…

“She’s not officially claimed, Alistair?” A red-head woman asked. One thing they all had in common was their beauty. Even the few male omegas were handsome. Oh, I didn’t fit here either! They were all far prettier than I was. 1

“Since Prince Vilkas hasn’t had an Omega before, you must, of course, know we need to prepare the piece of jewellery. These things take time, Sophia.”

Another woman with curly brown hair stepped forward, looking me over. “Then we should all proceed with caution… After

all, who knows who will suffer the

repercussions of upsetting her?” 1

“Katy… don’t do this.” Alistair warned.

She nodded, looking away. “I am the one who sees how broken Prince Alcazer is.”

I looked up sharply. She was his… I needed to learn who was who. I quickly noted her clothing. She was wearing a pretty coral dress but the beaded bracelet on her arm didn’t match, with the inch wide charm, in gold and olive green. Was that his colour?

I glanced over at Nadia, remembering her mentioning Prince Ragnar. This time I noticed the pendant around her neck, a long gold chain with the large diamond shaped plate at the end containing a symbol in white.

“Well, I’ll leave you here and I will be

sure to inform the Third Prince that you are here.” Alistair said, “Lucia my

darling, will you be so kind as to help her

a little? I understand she isn’t Alpha

Prince Chasyn’s, but she has no one…’

Lucia nodded without hesitation. ”

Absolutely Alistair, leave her with me,

))

“You should perhaps ask your prince first before taking on charity cases.” Nadia

remarked, tossing her tumbling black

hair over her shoulder.

Lucia shook her head, taking hold of my wrist and tugging me forward. “He won’t mind.” She responded confidently.

Alistair gave me a small smile before

casting a glance around and moved back. “Take care. I’ll see you in the morning!”

“Thank you.” Watching him leave made my heart plummet. I felt like I had walked into a lair full of danger.

On any other occasion one would be worried that Zedkiel had no other omega, after all we all knew why, but in this case

it was a relief as I didn’t want to compete with anyone… although I wished he had someone else to distract him and forgot about me.

Oh goddess! I couldn’t make up my mind. I just didn’t want trouble. I shouldn’t even wish such ill will on anyone!

Alistair left, and I glanced around the room, taking in the large room properly. It was like a pack house living room. Several clusters of sofas, bookshelves. A large TV, and a few other bits and bobs, were scattered around the room and if I wasn’t so stressed or worried, I would have found it rather relaxing. Especially in comparison to Zedkiel’s quarters.

“Anything regarding the Third Prince is
