Elian's POV
*****
"Are you driving at something, Alpha Prince? Or have you discovered the skill to speak in riddles?" Kyren arched his brow. "What do you mean by 'skeletons in my cupboard'?"
Lucian's smirk widened. "I didn't say yours specifically, Rogue King. I'm referring to every soul on this planet. Even our seemingly innocent mate."
His silver eyes locked on Elian just then. For the briefest second, Elian saw the clear animosity in the Alpha Prince's eyes soften into something… warm.
Relief? Regret? Longing?
He couldn't quite put his finger on it but that stare was enough to get Elian's cheeks flushed red.
He swerved his head to Axel, his shoulders relaxing when he saw the reassuring light in the Beta's golden eyes.
It was like a silent message, telling him he would always be with him regardless of whatever crazy decisions he made.
[Like travelling across the continent for dick—sorry. To be with your third mate.]
