Aiden -
Pacing up and down in his new bedroom, Aiden couldn't focus. He knew he should be practicing his speech for his ceremony, but he kept thinking about Emmaline. She was going to fly to Peru tonight and he couldn't help but want to go with her.
He was so deep in thought he didn't even notice the knock on his door. His mother entered and sat on his bed. He stared at her blankly.
"How are you feeling?"
He shrugged.
"This is a big moment for you. You should be excited."
"Why?"
His question seemed to throw her off.
"What?"
"Why would I be excited? This position was given to me begrudgingly by people who think I'm a traitor and I'm replacing my brother who was really a traitor who was killed by my mate."
His mother stared at him with a look that seemed to be a mix of confusion
