I grinned, loving this feisty side of René. It would serve him well as my consort. He had to be strong to survive in this world.
That was one of the things I loved about René. He had the strength of a gryphons and the cunning of a vampire.
The best of both worlds in my opinion.
"Have I told you lately that I love you?"
René tripped and then turned to look at me once he righted himself."You've never told me you loved me."
"Oops."
René's eyes narrowed.
I grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"Don't expect to hear it from me," René said out loud.
My smiled faltered.
"At least not in a room full of people." René smirked. "Maybe when we're in bed tonight."
"But you're going to say it, right?"
"Maybe." René pressed a kiss to my lips then slipped away and started walking toward the large group walking in.
I heard a soft feminine chuckle next to me and glanced down to see Antoinette standing next to me, her arm entwined with Isabella's.
"My son adores you, Alessandro. I see it in his eyes every time he looks at you."
I looked toward René just in time to see him toss his head back as he laughed at something someone said to him. His brown eyes twinkled as he glanced at me.
"He's mine, you know?" I whispered, maybe to René's mother, maybe to myself. I just knew that it was the truth. I never expected to find my true mate let alone find him in a club bathroom. I certainly hadn't expected to go through all the ups and downs we'd experienced since we met.
And yet, through all of that, we had found something together that was special. I'd already killed one person that had tried to take that from me. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Antoinette leaned up on her heels and pressed a kiss to my cheek. "Thank you for that."
I frowned. "For what?"
"For that look on his face. My son is truly happy."
I hoped so.
I straightened when I spotted the well-dressed man coming into the house in a group of men. "Heads up," I murmured to Antoinette. "Prince Visconti is here."
I started toward the group of men, but my jaw dropped when I saw who else was with him. This could go very good or very bad.
"René,"I whispered through our bond.
He glanced over. He must have seen the slight panic on my face before he followed the direction I was looking and then paled considerably.
He left the small group of people he was talking with and hurried over to my side. I grabbed his arm and then tried to walk like a normal person as I hurried to greet our honored guests.
I could hear a flurry of whispers from the other guests as I bowed respectfully to the two men at the front of the procession. "Grand Prince Visconti, Consort Visconti, welcome to our home."
"Please, we're all friends here. Call me Chance, and this is my mate, Yuri."
"I'm Alessandro." I shook both men's hands. "Thank you for coming."
