I stared at the newcomer, immediately struck by his resemblance to Kaelen. Same powerful build, similar chiseled features, but where Kaelen's eyes were piercing green, this man's were a cold blue that assessed me with open skepticism.
Kaelen's hand tightened on my waist. "Ronan," he acknowledged, his voice tight. "I'd like you to meet Seraphina Moon."
Ronan raised an eyebrow, waiting for more information. The tension between the brothers was palpable, crackling in the air between them.
"My future mate," Kaelen continued, his tone leaving no room for argument. "And the mother of my pup."
I felt my cheeks flush as Ronan's gaze dropped to my still-flat stomach, then back to my face with undisguised disbelief.
"Your... mate?" Ronan scoffed, not bothering to hide his derision. "A human carrying your heir? That's quite the fairy tale you've concocted."
