"She's nothing but a pair of worn-out shoes I threw away, and she still dreams of becoming the Alpha Prince's mate."
The pack of brothers behind him doubled over, howling with laughter.
"The Alpha Prince is no ordinary wolf. You think he'd want some desperate she-wolf who can't even give herself away? Know your rank."
"If you drag the Alpha Prince's name through the mud, can you bear the consequences?"
Vessa Briarthorn walked over just in time to witness the scene.
"Fenris, what's everyone laughing about?"
Fenris draped himself over her shoulder, shaking with laughter. "Briar says... says she's the Alpha Prince's Luna. I can't breathe, my stomach hurts from laughing."
Vessa glanced at me in surprise, then smiled. "Miss Thornheart, I heard about the concubine business."
"It was wrong of Fenris. Let me apologize on his behalf."
I had heard the rumors long before today. The day Fenris returned in triumph from the border wars, he brought a she-wolf back with him and showered her with affection.
This had to be her.
