I blinked my eyes open at the bright light shining on my face. I looked around and saw that I was still naked and laying on the floor. When I looked over to where Fallon's body was supposed to be, it was gone, but the blood was still there and dried up.I got up and winced when the pain I felt between my legs was intense. I looked between my legs and sighed at the sight of the dried up blood. I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower.The warm water felt nice and I wished that it could wash away my pain and sorrow. I was attached to Fallon, as much as I tried to deny it, and seeing her die like that was like a stab in the heart. It was likea part of my heart had been cut off with hers.I scoffed and choked on my spit as a realization came crashing down on me like a heavy brick.I didn't just like Fallon like I said I did. I was only saying those things and lying to myself because I was trying to please the king.No, I loved Fallon. I love her.My legs were too weak to support
The sight of my mother's battered body laying on the floor of the dungeon would forever be in my head. She was almost unrecognizable, but I still knew that it was her. The fact that Micah threatened to kill her if I ever tried to escape made me even angrier, but there was nothing I could do. I had to keep my mother safe.Micah and I were on a horse that would take us to the High mountain since it was a long journey and walking there would take up to two weeks.There was no words shared between the King and I and the tensed atmosphere was suffocating me. The horse stumbled a little from all rocks and gripped Micah's thighs for support and quickly let it go like it had burnt me.The king released a huff but said nothing else and it was silent again. It wasn't long that the night came upon us and I began to have cramps in my legs."I need to take a shit" I spoke after a day of silence between us. Micah pulled the rope of the horse and it came to a halt and he jumped down.I gripped to th
Lovette's POVI was confused. Confused about what the fuck was going on. Micah sat at the foot of the bed holding my hand so tightly in his that it was almost painful. I hissed and jerked my hand until he noticed and his hold became gentle."I'm so sorry Lovette" he spoke softly, bringing the back of my hand to his lips and placing a soft kiss on the inside of my palm."Micah, what's going on?" I inquired of him, still confused about what was happening. I knew what happened on our way to the Dragons- My throat was slashed open by the bear and I should be dead.I slowly brought my left palm up to my throat and there it was-, the evidence of what I thought happened did happen.I turned my head to look at Micah and with tear filled eyes and shaky lips I whispered to him, "I should be dead" "I wouldn't let that happen" The king firmly stated with a hard tone. I shaked my head and withdraw my hand from Micah."No Micah," I laughed with tear filled eyes. "I wanted to die" I told him as I
Lovette's POVHastily, I got up and ran deeper into the forest, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me with the mad woman right on my tail. Her laughs were hauntingly as it rang through the woods."Run faster little one run!" She taunts with a mocking laugh.Tears streamed down my face and my breathing become labored. There was a stream up ahead and within moments I got to it. I had no where else to run to and turned around to see the woman just a few feet away from me. "Please..." I begged her as she took a few steps towards me while I took some backwards. I was surprised to see her features changing into that of a younger woman and gasped when I recognized her."It's-it's you!" I gasped and moved deeper into the water. It was the same woman I saw in my dream a few months ago. The one who had the dagger and a red snake around her neck. "What do you want from me?" I beseeched, wondering why she would hunt me at length when I have never wronged her."What do you think?" She asked b
Lovette's POV"Are you hurt?" Micah asked, pulling me closer by my waist and tracing his hand over my body to check for any injuries. His jaw clenched when he saw the cut on my side. I grabbed Micah's hands, placing the inside of my palm on my check as my lips wobbled and tears began to fill my eyes again."Fuck, what's wrong Lovette?" Micah asked in panic. I shaked my head and Micah's large thumbs wiped away the tears that rolled down my cheek. "I thought you were dead" I whispered, wiping my nose with the back of my hand and looking into his gray eyes that soften.He placed his index finger under my chin and brought his lip close to mine. "I would never leave you" He whispered those words until his lips finally touched mine.The kiss was gentle... one filled with a promise- a promise that I know he would break.With closed eyes, I turned my head to the side and gulped then opened them once more. "I shouldn't..." I said with a small laugh and looked up to the king.Micah's brow were
It feels so weird having to ride with Micah on a horse like this-with his right hand placed on my waist while the other, holding the rope of the horse. It has been more than an hour since our intense love making and I was quite tired so I leaned back and rested my head on Micah's shoulder.Micah had asked about the woman who attacked me at the lake and when I described her to him and told him about the dream I had while he was away, he only clenched his fist and jaw and when I asked if he knew her, he said nothing but I suspected she was the one who sent the man to Kill Micah when I first got to the castle."When are we getting there?" I questioned, moving my eyes up to look up at him and I couldn't help but admire his straight jawline. I was already growing tired of this Journey that did not seem to want to end.Micah's lips twitched, he looked down at me for a second before pulling the horse to a stop and I sat up straight, confused as to why we stopped when we haven't got there.He
“Yo-your mate?” I asked, moving to stand next to Micah, who looked as shocked as I am. Hayden nodded with a smirk and crossed his arms around his chest while looking at me with his head tilted. It felt like I have been hit with a ton of bricks and I stumbled a little and choked on my breath.If Hayden finds out his mate was killed by Micah, not only will be deny Micah of his blood but he would also kill us on the spot. Micah looked at me with a hint of fear in his eyes, like he already knew what I was thinking. He turned to look back at Hayden and cleared his throat.“We had an agreement, Hayden. You get to see my mate and you will give me your blood.” Micah said and Hayden chuckled.“No. What I said was if your mate is able to convince me, I’d give you my blood,” Hayden replied back, taking a few steps towards us. “But the terms have changed, Micah... Now I want my mate before you can have my precious blood”Micah longed on Hayden and grabbed him my the neck while he slammed him to t
Lovette's POVWhat are we going do!" I asked Micah, frantickly when we were left alone. He cupped my cheek and placed his chin above my head. "I'll figure something out" He breathed out and I released a sigh and wrapped my arms around his throso."I'm scared, Micah" mumbling those words into his chest, I closed my eyes and tighten my arms around him. I was scared of what Hayden would do.What if-what if he was a rapist just like Mi- Stop it Lovette! I thought to myself when the memories of what my mate did to me flashed before my closed eyes."You'll be safe" He muttered quietly and I knew we both didn't believe that. We pulls away from each other and at the same moment, a guard walked in."I am here to escort the lady to her room" He said and u glanced at him for a second then at Micah. He cupped my cheeks once more and placed a kiss on my lips."Go" Micah mumbled as he tenderly rubbed my cheek with his thumbs. I nodded and walked behind the guard as he left me through the halls of
