Sireen’s POV
From the corner of my eye, I see Alpha Ocean and Luna Elowen approaching, and I spin in the opposite direction. Camilla does the same immediately, even if I’m sure she has no idea.
“What are we doing?” She whisper-shouts in a frenzy, and I reach for her left hand with mine.
“Their son rejected me just days ago and will give my head to the lowest bidder if he can, so the last people I should be seen interacting with are his parents,” I say as fast as I can, and Camilla nods.
“Oh.”
I say a quick and quiet prayer that my mom leaves me out of this and doesn’t make me speak to them, but my prayer isn’t even completed before the wish is hacked from right under my feet.
“Sireen.” It’s not even Mom who calls my name. It’s Luna Elowen.
I turn around slowly, a crooked smile plast
