What a Rogue Wants
“Madelaine hovered in an alcove―well aware she was taking a great risk of raising suspicion if the wrong person saw her. She couldn’t flee for home yet. She had to see her father first, and in order to do that she needed some help.
Grey’s brother had given her some shifty looks. He didn’t seem the type to trust or take chances.
Likely, someone was watching her, thanks to him. With Elizabeth gone, Madelaine didn’t have a single friend to turn to, not that she could have been able to turn to Elizabeth anyway. Her chest ached with loneliness, her throat with unshed tears. Alone again.
Would she forever be the outsider, the outcast?
Madelaine clenched the material of her dress and fought back the fears that threatened to render her helpless. Father was an admitted traitor, therefore soon he would either be dead or disgraced, and soon she would be disgraced too.
And a traitor to the king. The thought sent icy tingles down her spine.
Her friendship with Elizabeth had to be over for Elizabeth...’s sake, just as Madelaine’s hope for a future with Grey was over.MoreLess
