Chapter 12

• I was standing with the guards when Mac returned. He gave me a quick glance, but I couldn’t tell if he blamed me or not for the scene in the hall.
• Prince Leone stood off to the side with the Captain. I couldn’t see their faces at this point, so I wasn’t sure what about me they were discussing.  Could they prevent me from being sent away to a doldrum post?  Had sharing that my mate was one of their brothers helped or hindered the verdict? Both turned to look at Emil in unison.  Well, at least I knew what they were talking about. Emil didn’t notice, he was too busy sending scathing looks at me. 
• I blew out a breath and glanced to the Captain and our Enforcer.  They were both looking at me now.  They looked amused.  Someday, when my head wasn’t still reeling, I might find it amusing that a lowly guard was the fated mate of a Prince.  I wasn’t there yet.
