Unexpected Visitor

Selene is awash with an overwhelming sense of relief when the carriage stops in front of the Rozeman Mansion. One of the royal guards opened the carriage door, and Nicolai was the first to disembark while Kaden followed suit. Selene put her foot on the pedestal and was about to descend when she notices both Kaden and Nicolai's hands held out in front of her, waiting. Their similar ice blue eyes unnervingly focused on her.

Selene's heart stopped, and cold dread slithers at the pit of her stomach. She doesn't have time for this. She mentally smacks herself to wake her from her stupor. Selene stopped for a brief second before completely ignoring both of the hands they offered and came out of the carriage without their help.
