The Royal Elite: Mattias
“A face she could barely see in the gloom. The only available light spilled in through two tall windows, and as her eyes slowly adjusted to the change, she became aware of the tension in the muscles under her fingers and the way Mattias clenched his jaw.

“What should we do?” Alannah asked, keeping her voice low. She didn't want to alert the bodyguard and lure him over unintentionally. He annoyed her on every le...vel—but then so did being here at the manor, with all the fluff and testosterone crammed between the four walls. She loathed social gatherings and loathed trying to mingle with women who preferred to size her (and her wallet) up and either discard her or figure out how to use her.

The saving grace were the artifacts that had been doused into darkness along with everything else.MoreLess
