BRINLEY.
I sold you.
I sold you.
I have sold you to another kingdom.
Those were the only words I could hear repeating, repeatedly playing in my head. Panic rose in me, and I fidgetted with my fingers, something I do when I'm nervous or scared. "Kyle, please." He clenches his jaw, "What's done cannot be undone. The kingdom has already purchased you," "When?" My voice was barely aud
**************CHAPTER TEN**************BRINLEY.I excused myself, telling Julia I had to pee. What I needed was to splash some cold water on my warm cheeks. So I made my way through the hallway of the palace, following Julia's directions, of course. When I came to the door, Julia told me it would be the bathroom I walked in. I sighed with relief when it was indeed a bathroom. I walk over to the sink, wet my hands with cold water, and dab my cheeks. I still can't believe Thomas figured out it was me. And what was he even doing at The Kings Party? And the nerve of him always has a problem kissing me, touching me, but he doesn't
*****************CHAPTER ELEVEN*****************BRINLEY.It was pushing midnight when most of the guests started to leave. Some of the guests were staying in the guest rooms in the palace. Julia and the other girls stayed to clean up the mess from the party; they all agreed I'd been through enough and didn't have to help. Julia told me to go to the pond and see if Thomas would be there. I've been sitting on a blanket looking at the pond for over thirty minutes. Thomas still hadn't shown.Amanda and Gabriel were among the few guests that st
******************CHAPTER TWELVE.******************BRINLEY.It's been three days since the King's party. And things were getting back to normal. I don't know what Thomas said to Kyle, but Kyle told me the day after the party I was no longer going to the Mortaga Kingdom.He never said I could stay here, but I'm hoping Mrs. Bates changes his mind about that; after all, she helped me out with Gabriel. Unfortunately, I haven't got the chance to tell Thomas the good news. He hasn't come back to the pond since. No dou
********************CHAPTER THIRTEEN********************BRINLEY."Kiss me, Thomas,"His silver orbs met mine, and I crumbled all the hope I had built up in thinking he would. "I can't," He says, heaving a heavy sigh. "Why not? You're my mate." I exclaimed. "You're seventeen." He speaks through clenched teeth."I don't care."Thomas said nothing as he lifted us off the floor and pinned me to bed. His bun fell, releasing his long black h
**********************CHAPTER FOURTEEN**********************BRINLEY.The sunrise shone brightly through the window and into my eyes. I groaned, rolling over the ache between my legs, only a reminder that Thomas was even here and that what happened last night wasn't a dream.A hiss of pain left my lips as my feet hit the ground. Then, I decided to soak in 'No' Hot water. I opened the door to the bathroom and began to fill the tub with water.************
********************CHAPTER FIFTEEN********************BRINLEY.I cut all the sandwiches into bite sizes. I woke early to get all the preparation done for Katie's party. I baked pies and made a cake. Her cake is red velvet (Katies Favorite). I covered it with butter creme icing and decorated it with red roses.I made a chicken salad sandwich, Egg salad sandwich, and tuna salad sandwich. I also made some hot wings, veggies, and ranch dip.I wanted to make Katie's party memorable because
*******************CHAPTER SIXTEEN*******************BRINLEY.I couldn't place the look on Thomas's face. Or should I say, Xander? I cannot believe he has lied to me. No wonder he didn't want anyone to know I was his mate. He was ashamed of me like I had thought all this time, and he never once tried to tell me the truth.I can't believe this.How could I have been so stupid? I told him I loved him, thinking I knew him, but I was wrong.
***********************CHAPTER SEVENTEEN***********************BRINLEY."I never meant to hurt you. I've tried to think of a different way and keep you here. But I didn't want to cause you any more pain than I already have." Xander says."Why did you lie to me? You told me your name was Thomas. I believed you. And you let me, not once did you tell me you were the Alpha King," He furrowed his brows, "I never lied. My name is Xander Thomas. And being with you, I felt like I could be me and not the king."
