The Spark of a Feudling

  She folded her arms against her seashells. "Royal?"

  Kristian shrugged. "It never came up."

  "Are you a noble?" she asked. Not that she had any chance with a human, but to learn that her human was nobility made him that much more out of reach.

  "You could say that," he murmured.

  "Prince Kristian, your mother will send you to the dungeon if you don't get out of the water right now!"

  Sirena sucked in her breath in a hushed gasp. Not just a noble but a prince!

  "Why do you care so much, Blaise?" Kristian shouted to his friend.

  "Because your mother threatened to lock me up beside you in a cell!"

  The waves drew her beneath the water, and she was gone.
