42. My love

Hearing the name, Ariana was startled. Never had she thought about the Windsors being related to anyone in the werewolf world. Professionally, yes. But on a personal level, much less to the Lancasters? It just seemed unbelievable.

Her eyes met with Duke Lorenzo's, searching for confirmation, while Xavier listened to the old man praying for his parent's soul.

The duke understood the silent question. He nodded yes in hope of discouraging Ariana to continue a relationship with Sean, if she had any.

Ariana felt a sinking feeling in the stomach.

"So what?" spoke Saoirse. "I bet neither Sean nor Xavier even know that they are related. It's not like they're brothers. Cousins, may be?"
