Where did you get that?” My face hardened, and I stood up straighter. Suspicion crept its way up my spine as I looked down at the golden rose she held between her fingertips.“Your mom and I were... close friends when we were younger. You could even say best friends.” She delivered a genuine smile my way before releasing the pendant back onto her skin. If she were such good friends with my mother, why had I never met her? Some things weren't adding up and my anxiety throughout my body told me not to trust her.

The sun had set as I rested at the edge of the bed. I had been patiently waiting for the sound of Cassius' door to open, so I could speak to him, but the hallway was dead silent.A rather loud knock on the door had me on my feet in a matter of second. I hurried across the cold floor towards the sound.“Cassius thank gods I've been-,&rdqu

I scrunched my hand into my hair in frustration. Last night was possibly one of the worst nights I’ve had in a while. My entire body felt like it was on fire and the reminder of Cassius's pissed off look burned into my mind.The bags under my eyes showed the lack of sleep as I stood up on shaky legs and walked towards the bathroom.Maybe a shower would help.I pulled off my night clothes and turned on the water, running my hand under the pellets of water to heck the temperature. Once it was right, I walked into the shower and began washing off everything of last night.After I was finished, I hopped out while wrapping the towel tightly around me and strode into the room. The air instantly dropped ten degrees as the cool air hit my bare legs and arms, I made my way to the closet and rummaged through until I found something I could train in today.A knock on the door had me throwing the clothes on, and after I was decent, I shouted towards the

Raven’s POVThe plates full of food rested on the ottoman in between both chairs. Rhyland sat across from me, cutting up a steak as a full on laugh left his chest. The low rumble spreading throughout the room.“And the crazy part is that we never saw that guard again.”I chucked and picked up my silverware.“I’d have to say I wouldn’t want to show up either if they caught me trying on the Queen’s ball gowns.” I looked over at him to find his violet eyes already on me.Silence engulfed the room for a slight second before he picked up an entirely different subject.“How do you and Elijah know one another?” My eyebrow rose at his words as he cleared his throat and fidgeted in his seat.I debated on how I should answer, seeing as I can’t quite remember how I know him.“Well, it’s complicated actually. He’s an old friend from my homeland.” I put simply and smiled with satisfaction at my reply.“And where is your homeland?”

The sleep filled night I was anticipating for escaped me altogether. I sat awake on my bed, clasping the pillow into me as I looked out of the balcony doors.The morning sun was rising, vivid crimson and orange rays passed through my room and danced across my bedsheets.The maid had showed up and informed me that the Prince requested my presence on the training grounds, but I had ignored the request.For the past hour, I was contemplating on how I was supposed to get close to the Prince and finish the plan when Jasmine sat in the way. If it were all about the plan, I would've gotten out of bed and went to train with the prince himself. I would've taken that opportunity to get to know him a bit more. But was it all about the plan?That… That was an excellent question. A question that I wasn’t sure I wanted to know the answer to. Last night when he came so close to kissing me I didn’t expect myself to want him to, I expected myself to coil

Rhyland’s POVBefore I could utter another word, Raven was pressing past me, headed straight for the door.“Raven, w-,” I reached my hand out to catch her wrist, but as soon as my palm brushed her skin I jerked backward. Her skin was blistering to the touch. I knew in my gut that her reaction to this wasn't just about Eladia. Eladia may have been a breaking point, but she wasn't the entire reason.She whirled her head around and a shimmer of silvery blue rimmed around her almost black colored eyes. My heart stuttered for a slender moment, but I tried to calm myself.Without uttering a word she turned back towards the hallway and made her way down it. Both Eladia and me followed quickly behind her.“Raven please it’s not that big of a deal, it was my fault really I-,”A hard gust of wind that flew past her face silenced her, taking her breath for a quick moment.Raven’s steps didn’t falter and the sheer confidence that radiat

Rhyland’s POV“What the hell, Raven?!”Her eyes snapped up to Cassius and for a split second, she looked completely lost.“I-, wait… How did I end up out here?” Her eyes fogged over with confusion before bolting open wide as a sharp intake of air entered her lungs.“Eladia! Wait, where’s Eladia?!” She shouted, looking around frantically. I took a small stepped towards her, but before I reached her, Cassius stepped in front of me and stopped me in my tracks. He look towards me with a tense jaw.“You’ve done enough. I think you should go.” His eyes were hardened when he looked at me and I could see pure hatred, for what reason I had no clue. He should be thanking me for stopping his sister before things really got out of hand.“Raven, how are you feeling?” I asked, and she just rubbed her temples while wincing.“I- I don’t feel right…” she said groggily, and that’s when Jasmine’s cries and shouts cut through th
