"Queen Lauren!"
The moment she entered Haystone's mansion, the ladies in the main hall turned to her. Lauren smiled at their welcoming gestures despite being in a bad shape. Even though it wasn't obvious, she was feeling sore all over her body after the long night she shared with Alec.
He was not exactly gentle, but he wasn't too rough either. She knew he could be violent, but like the first time they did it, he was very cautious.
She could still feel his lips on her skin every time she closed her eyes.
Despite being away for years, Lauren recognized the vampiress who stepped forward. She had a smile on her lips now and her eyes had no hostility in them unlike how she looked at her when they were young.
"Lady Jennifer. Nice to see you again."
The woman bowed curtly.
"It is an honor to have you here with us, Queen Lauren."
