"Celeste?" A female voice called. I tried opening my eyes but as I did, I closed it from the glaring light of the yellow bulb hanging from the ceiling.
I tried a few times before my eyesight adjusted to the light and surroundings.
I was surrounded by three people, Hilda, Elijah and a woman with black hair who looks quite familiar.
"What happened?" I asked, looking at them as I saw the sorrow and relief on their faces.
They all looked at each other, contemplating if they should answer or not.

I smiled at him then bit my lips gently as he gave me a smirk."See you soon" He mumbled softly, "Also, you should hide the mark" Elijah added a

I curled up on my bed, watching as the rain rolled down the window. I was numb, just staring. I had just witnessed my mates' death, the image of his headless body as it hits the floor and his dead eyes staring at me. A knock brought me out of my thoughts and sluggishly, I got up to open it."Good evening Lady Celeste, the King has sent me to escort you to his chamber" A guard said.Why the hell would I need to be escorted to a room just a few feets away from mine? Nevertheless, I followed the guard in my pajamas as he led me to his room.I stood outside Elijah's chamber and the guard bowed before leaving me standing there. I took in a deep breath before pushing the door open. Elijah was seated on his bed, shirtless might I add. A glass of wine in hand as he watched me come closer to him."Sit'" he said and I did.
