Cara's POV

The surprise of the voice completely shattered the moment that had been occurring between Alaric and I.

Snapping from my gaze, | turned in the direction of the voice. As more words rang out, | started to recognize the

identity of the speaker

"You and your rude, arrogant child should be ashamed of yourselves!! There is no excuse for that horrendous

display, that despicable scene caused by your son!"

It's Matthew Bedford, cto get the last word.

He keeps going, continuing his barrage of harsh words and angry condemnation of my family. "You royals think

you can walk all over anyone deemed beneath you! How dare you?!"

to cause a disturbance, want to watch someone else get as angry and upset as they themselves feel inside.

But as he steps even closer to me, I'm shocked to see his face fall, like his grand speech about my family's lack

of respect has been interrupted.

He's staring directly at my face with wide eyes, and his mouth is caught in the shape of an "0" with no words

coming out.

His stare continues for a moment longer before a smooth and charming grin replaces the surprised expression.

He brushes a hand through his blond hair and reaches a hand towards me.

"I don't believe I've had the pleasure to meet you, gorgeous," he says with a wink, holding out his hand to take

my own.

I'm confused by his quick change of attitude towardsbut place my hand in his out of sheer politeness.

"Cara," | say to him, introducing myself.

"Matthew Bedford," he says smoothly. "Where have those Auburns been hiding such a beautiful and lovely

princess?"

| stare at him, not wanting to encourage this poor excuse for flirtation. I've heard so many

of him!

Alaric clears his throat behind me, deliberately alerting Matthew Bedford to his presence.

Matthew, undeterred by Alaric, keeps holding onto my hand, reaching down to place a soft kiss on the back of it.

He completely ignores Alaric's noise, pretending his hasn't seen the Alpha King yet.

| pull it back hard, wiping my hand on the side of my shirt.

Alaric clears his throat again, harder this time.

"If that cough keeps up much more, you should probably go see a doctor!" | hear my brother Ryan call out to

Alaric sarcastically.

Ethan is at Ryan's side, holding his champion trophy and looking absolutely exhausted.

Alaric jumps back, stepping about two feet further away fromas my brother and son approach.

Matthew Bedford takes the opportunity to move even closer to me, placing something in the palm of my hand.

He leans into my hair, sniffing loudly at my scent before whispering into my ear, "If you ever need anything, give

| close my fist, crumpling the paper into a ball. There is zero chance | would ever call him.

| look over my shoulder and see Alaric slinking away into the shadows. | wave to him, which he returns silently

before vanishing from sight around a corner.

"| thought you were going out to celebrate?" | ask my brother Ryan.

"Change of plans. Our champion little Ethan here said he's too tired and just wants to go home. Ruby found an

old colleague in the crowd and is going out with them to catch up. She said she'll see you at hlater," Ryan

replies.

| help Ethan get buckled into the car, trophy nestled in his lap safely between his legs. | barely pull the car out of

the parking spot when I look back and see both of my children fast asleep in the backseat.

'Are you sure you don't wantto drive? It's been a long day for everyone," Ryan offers togently.

"That's very kind, but I'm okay. I like driving... it helpsto clear my mind," | reply, turning onto the main road.

"Okay, okay, maybe sometimes a lot overprotective. But | want you to know, I'm sorry if I've ever upset you by

speak. "Thank you, Ryan. | really appreciate that," | finally say, finding my voice.

"I mean it. You're a good person, and an exceptional leader. You're so different from the sister | grew up with...

Lilia, | mean," Ryan's voice trails off, as if he's caught in a memory of a childhood with that cold and entitled Lilia.

| can't imagine what it must have been like for my brothers, always doting on the demanding princess. | wish |

could have been there for them during that time.

But fate had another plan in store for all of us.

"You always know the best course of action," Ryan said wistfully.

"Well, maybe not always-"l interrupt. | second guess myself all the time, always worried that I'm not doing

enough, or not performing my best. It's not modesty, it's just truth that no one can always know the right way to

proud of that, Goddess knows we're all proud of you for it," he says with a smile.

| feel myself blushing, honored by his kind words.

"Thank you, Ryan. What's gotten into you tonight? You don't normally offer compliments this freely!" | reply to

him, using humor to try to understand what he's getting at.

"I'm just saying, | support any choices you make, even if our other brothers don't," Ryan says vaguely.

"What do you mean? What choices are you talking about?" I'm even more curious now. He can't be saying all of

this out of nowhere... he's got to have a reason....

"You know... like with Alaric. It's none of our business, | know, but if you decide to get back. with him again, I'm

just saying | wouldn't question your decision about that," Ryan says looking at me. What?
