Outside the Ambrose mansion, Mathias sat in the cold awaiting Alexander to make an appearance. He had been watching the family from the time he was pointed in their direction to find Rose and followed them back to this part of town.
Mathias was anxious. There wasn't any word from the palace about the king or his children. His protection rested in the hands of Kiara, not only for Alexander to not harm him but Mathias trusted she could protect him from Zayne.
Mathias had to carry out the job before Rose spoke too much. He sat in bushes where he couldn't be seen by the family guards or the outsiders guarding this home like their life depended on it.
Mathias hugged his body to keep warm. Starting a fire would bring unnecessary attention to himself. "She's the daughter of a lord."
This news still surprised him. If only he had known then he could have been well rewarded or arranged to marry her.
