"The heir is the Alpha. The Alpha of Alphas, with blood stronger than any we have ever seen. He has magic running through his veins, and that alone will enhance the moonblood," the Dowager stated proudly.
Grandmother laughed before it dialed down to chuckles. "You still underestimate the power of ice over fire."
"Fire melts ice."
"And ice quenches it."
I chuckled nervously, far too loud, and grabbed their attention. "Just look at us, already getting along."
The Dowager rolled her eyes and sipped her tea. "Hmm... this is the perfect flavor."
"Indeed," Grandmother replied after sipping hers.
I'm beginning to regret this brunch.
"Eloise, you did such a wonderful job with this display. I love it."
"Thank you, Grandmother."
"Eloise has always been creative, that is one thing I love about her," the Dowager uttered.
I grimace.
"However, that creativity sometimes needs to be checked. Like, for one, this alliance I hear whispers about."
