When Kane makes finally makes his selection, no one is more shocked than the female he chooses. She only attended to be of support to her best friend who has wished all her life to be queen. Besides, she has promised herself to another and only awaits his 18th birthday to feel the inevitable mating pull she is certain will come.

"I'm sorry to hear about your parents," he said grimly. "You were close?"

"Very," Lexi replied, nodding. "But the Loudins have always been like a second family to me. And I have Diana and Leo."

"Leo?"

Lexi glanced up at him and saw his brows furrow over his cool, grey eyes. "Yes, my boyfriend." She waved her arm airily, indicating to the crowd. "He's somewhere around here."

"Boyfriend? Not mate?" he asked, sounding curious.

"He's not of-age yet," she told him. "Though I am sure he is my mate. At least, I think he is."

"And what if he's not?" he questioned. His face looked more somber than before, and Lexi wondered if he disapproved of their pairing before knowing if they were truly meant to be.

She merely shrugged. "I'll deal with that if it comes to pass."
