Author's point of view..."What did you say?" his voice sounded as cold as an ancient glacier, she shivered at that quick change of attitude. The fire of jealousy is indeed so scary and right now Adrian was burning in it.She choked out, "I..." admitting that she had erred. "I wasn't...I was not trying to...," she said, attempting to calm things down before they got out of hand, but he cut her off angrily."Fiancee...! Right?" With a dark smile playing at the corners of his lips, he spoke. She wondered what he would do next, will he let her go? Or will he just kill her right away, because the look on his face was like he was about to peel her skin apart?"But...! I...he..." His menacing gaze quickly caused her mouth to dry up; if eyes could kill, Scarlett would have perished a hundred times by now."Don't worry, even if he is your fiancee, he won't after tonight" Scarlett froze. Is he saying that he will kill Edward?Oh God, what did she just do...!Adrian was already known for hi
Scarlett's point of view...It was dawn already when I slowly opened my eyes feeling crushed and discomfort everywhere in my body.Realizing where I was, the first thing I noticed was the warm breath caressing my nape.Adrian...! Prince Adrian was sleeping soundly behind me.My gaze travelled down to my waist, where his thick, muscular arm rested. The way his arms coiled around me felt like he was holding onto his most cherished treasure, protective and comforting.My cheeks flushed red and I felt shy.Wasn't he the one who said that he would kill his mate once he found one, then why was he kissing me like crazy last night? Men are different in what they show but still, I can't let my guard down. I still have many things to do before I think about myself.Catherine is still out there in danger.Furthermore, If not for the dizziness, I don't think this man would have let me be close to him. I have seen his reaction when Daniel asked him about his mate. I can't get over it. I can never
Adrian's point of view...I sprang awake with such a jerk that my whole body shook, gasping for breath and feeling uneasy. It was a feeling unlike anything I had ever felt. Like someone had just blocked my nose, making it impossible for me to breathe. As I came back to my senses, a thin layer of sweat soaked my skin. Alone in my bed, I felt a pounding headache. Even though the sun had risen, darkness hovered outside, broken only by the occasional flash of lightning and thunder hitting the castle. That is a representation of the horrible days these Youvoka residents will experience.For how long was I asleep? It had been a long time since I had slept that well.Even though I was getting a good night's sleep, I was plagued by nightmares that were so real and dangerous, unlike anything I had experienced in a long time today was different. I didn't have any nightmares at all.The memories of the previous night flooded my mind, everything about the girl. I looked at the space beside me
Author's point of view...Rona instantly kneeled before Scarlett with his head down,"I am incompetent, Goddess, I failed to protect you"Scarlett was devastated, it wasn't an easy night for her. Many things happened and many things could have happened. She helped Rona up and angrily hit him in the abdomen."Where the hell were you last night?" Was he really with a woman?Rona snarled in agony even though she was not using all of her might, and she soon noticed that a red liquid was seeping through his clothing. Blood...!"You are bleeding...!" exclaimed Scarlett as she helped him to sit on the bench beside them."What happened? How did you get injured?" They settled down and Scarlett helped Rona treat his wound. It was indeed a deep cut but with Rona's instructions, Scarlett was able to bind the wound up.As this was going on, they each related their experiences from the previous night. While she did not tell him all that happened that night, Scarlett did tell him how Williams had
Author's point of view...Adrian stood up immediately and stared at her without a blink. He was quite surprised by her beauty. He had seen many beautiful women in his life, but this one was rare. His attentiveness caused her to panic.Did he recognize her? Her thoughts raced through her head.Adrian frowned, the one thing he did not understand, though, was why she seemed so familiar to him.She glanced at him as if deliberately showing him her eyes, before putting her head back down and attempting to blend into the darkness. She truly wanted to disappear from the spot. Adrian stared into those dark eyes and snapped out any doubts in his mind. Black eyes...! She is definitely not the girl he was searching for.But still, this girl's face was so similar to the little girl he saved back then and her body was as attractive as the girl he met last night. It was so confusing.Why was her appearance made him want to look at her again and again?"Is she your sister, Mr. Wuji?" Adrian asked
Scarlett's point of view...I can't believe Rona told Adrian everything about his findings just in exchange for one condition. Despite my desire, I was unable to stop him. How on earth was he thinking?That wasn't needed at all, I would have gone to the cliff alone even if he hadn't paired me up with this troublesome narcissist Princes.Why does Rona have to do this?He actually asked Adrian to take me along with him and take care of me. Was that even needed?That doesn't make sense. How am I supposed to be safe with that one person I have to be careful with?Damn...!It's so frustrating.I know that Rona is severely injured and couldn't go with me to the cliff but I could have gone myself. I could have just healed him with my blood, why involve that man?And even if I couldn't heal him for the time being, I was fine going alone.Am I not good enough in his eyes?It will be a full moon in two days and I didn't know what was wrong with these brothers, the respectable Prince of Panama ha
Author's point of view...Scarlett struggled as someone grabbed her from behind and dragged her towards her room. Startled, she was ready to use her magic when the attacker spoke in her ear in whispers, "Don't panic, it's me." Scarlett froze for a moment. "Rona...!" she hit his hand slightly, signalling him to remove it from her mouth. Rona loosened his grip, and they both walked inside Scarlett's room. Once inside the house, Rona closed the door immediately. Scarlett was furious. "What the heck, Rona? What are you...?" "Shhh...please keep it low," Rona requested, hushing her to be quiet. Scarlett shot him a confusing glance. She had been trying so hard to talk to him in private from the moment he made that stupid deal with Adrian, but she didn't get the chance to do so. Now, he came to her in the middle of the night, and she may have killed him because she thought he was an intruder. What was wrong with him? This wasn't his usual style."What is this...!" she snorted irritating
Scarlett's point of view...In the morning, I came out of my room, yawning and stretching only to find the chaos in the garden. There were Adrian's men all around the garden, stepping on the herbs that we planted. How absurd...!Even though it made my blood boil to witness them destroy my labours and garden, I restrained my rage from being directed at them. They were all HIS men after all.Before I could shout at those men, their master did. I stood there taken aback, gaping at him helplessly as he grunted at them for being careless.He came out of the tent making my heart flutter, wearing a black outfit pairing it with a deep brown leather jacket. His hair waved as he walked towards me. My hand stuck to my chest stopping my heart's race. It's his fault. It's all his fault.How the hell could someone look so handsome?I sucked in my breath as he stopped just a few steps away from me. I wasn't fully awake from the restless night and with his delicacy, my mind was still in a daze.He
