“Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.”

He smiled, his eyes full of warmth. “I would know your eyes, anywhere.” he answered. “And the way you dance is somehow hypnotic and alluring and only you can move like that. If I had any doubt of your true identity, all of it was shed when I was nearer to you and was able to inhale your scent more clearly. It was easy to tell. Yours is an aroma that is always very sweet.”
She blushed beneath her fur and smiled, bashfully. She had gone through the trouble of changing her hairstyle, the color of her coat, and altering her markings to hide herself in plain sight, but even so, he was able to find her out the moment their eyes met. …she should not have been surprised and yet, here she was startled at how easily he was able to detect her.
“I’m so glad you’re safe, Amarah.” he said, softly, his attention focused on the hand of hers that was nestled in his palm. “When your parents shared the note that you had run off, we were all worried. We had no idea if you were well, or safe, or even happy. All that we knew was that you were gone, because you wanted to see the world before you were bound to me. I am sorry that I have driven you to this. It was never my intention to make you flee from your own home. We princes and princesses that are not the firstborn, have our mates decided for us. We do not have the privilege to choose for ourselves. Still, I had to ask Father to do this for me, to allow my bride to be you, someone that I knew and trusted…and had fallen in love with.”
He heard her gasp at his words and fumble with his hand that sheltered hers. She twined their fingers, then untwined, and then twined again. It was impossible to look at him. She could not meet his gaze and yet there was so much to be said.
