Mag-log inMiles away, Grayson freezes mid- step. The guard who is speaking to him stops immediately. "My prince?" Grayson does not respond. He can tell that something is wrong. He just does not know how, but he can feel it. Something is definitely wrong. He has this intense urge to leave whatever he is doing to find out why. His wolf is restless which makes him know that this concerns Malisha. He had not seen for some days. He found out from her brother, Leo that she went for a vacation so he decided to let her be because he knows it is exactly what she needs. He feel it again. The sharp and sudden pain in the chest. Something tugs his chest violently. His wolf stirs instantly. It is alert, restless and can feel as though danger is near. Danger. The word echoes faintly in his mind, and he can't help, but feel the need to rush whereever the danger is going to. Grayson's jaw tightens. "What is it?" the guard asks again. Grayson turns away slightly trying to calm his wolf down. "Leave
After training with Sage, Malisha is back home, and is with her mother, Beatrix. “Hello, my dear daughter. I feel like I have not seen you in years,” Beatrix says. Malisha grins shaking her head. “Now Mum, you are exaggerating. “Am I?” Beatrix asks. “Because I have missed this face of yours for some time now.” “I think it is just the training that has been taking up my time,” Malisha says. “Just the training?” Her mother, Beatrix asks wiggling her brows. “Yes of course,” Malisha replies. “So there is nothing going on between you and Sage?” Beatrix asks feeling slightly sad. “No, ma’am.” The relieved look on Beatrix’s face is so obvious that even Malisha noted it, but did not say anything. Beatrix likes Sage, but she felt like the bond between Grayson and Malisha was so powerful and beautiful. She was holding out to hope that her daughter and Grayson will finally be together, but she did not want to push her daughter to do something she is not ready for. “I heard

Annalise grins when she sees the acceptance on everyone's faces. She turns to look at Eric with a smug look on her face. He is in shock at the acceptance. "When are we going to meet the Royals, then?" Eric asks. "As soon as we can," a noble replies. "We will need the handlers with us," another noble mutters. "They are already on our side." They all nod. As Annalise plans for the meeting with the Royals, there is an interruption. All their eyes widen when they see what the interruption is... The Royals. "How did they know we were gathered here?" Eric mutters in a low voice. Annalise does not give him a reply. Instead, she puts a relaxed look on her face. "My dear Royals," she greets. A slap immediately hits her on her right cheek. There are gasps in the room, but it doesn't wilt her smile. If anything, it makes Annalise smile even brighter. She spits out some blood on the ground, and she asks, "What was that all about?" "Are you really calling a private meeting and not inf
Annalise is heated as she turns to look at Eric. "We have to meet with the Royals." Eric's face is scrunched up. "Why?" "Because it is time for us to get the vessel."Eric's eyes widen in shock. "If we keep on waiting for her to come to us, we might lose another vessel and have to wait for decades," she says, pacing. "Do you think they will listen to what we have to say?" Eric asks, unsure about the whole situation. "I mean, I haven't gotten rid of the curse yet." Annalise waves that off. "I'll handle that when the time comes, but for now, we have to snatch the vessel." "How are we going to do that?""We need to get other Nobles and Noblesse to see the work we have put into place. If we can get them on board, the royals will move on with it," Annalise says, sounding almost too sure."You talk as though your plan is a sure thing," Eric mutters. "Because I know it is." Annalise stops to look at him. "Do you think I am the only one who is tired of having a vision for decades, and
Grayson stares at her for a long moment without speaking. The wind moves lightly around them, but neither of them seem to notice it anymore. Malisha’s words hang heavily between them and the longer the silence stretches, the harder it becomes for her to breathe properly.“And you did not think to tell anyone that earlier?” he finally asks quietly.Malisha looks away immediately. “Because I already know how everyone will react.”“And how is that?”“You especially?” she asks with a humorless laugh. “You will lose your mind.”“That is because someone wanting me dead while using you as the messenger is not exactly comforting information, Malisha.”“I know.”“Then why hide it?”Her jaw tightens slightly. “Because I am tired.”That answer catches him off guard.Malisha exhales shakily before continuing. “I am tired of everyone looking at me like I am going to break at any second. I am tired of the voices. I am tired of feeling like my body is not fully mine anymore.” Her voice lowers. “And
Malisha could hear the rumors that others thought she was not. Grayson was going pick a chosen mate who will be his queen.Her heart wrenches at that, and her wolf says, "You are the reason. You are the reason our mate is going to pick another person, and let us die alone." Malisha groans. "I am
Malisha rolls her eyes even though Grayson is caging her in, and she is feeling the tension of being this close to him. “The wizard is not the one for you,” Grayson says simply. “More like YOU are not the one for me,” Malisha mutters. “Then explain to me why we are fated mates?” He asks looki
Malisha looks at him in shock and disbelief knowing she definitely did not just hear what he just said. She bursts into laughter while Grayson looks at her with a deadass look on his face. "Are you a comedian?" Grayson rolls his eyes at her. “Do I look like one?” He asks. She looks at him u
Grayson walks into his home, and stops in his tracks when he sees his whole family including the extended family, seated at the dining. Even though he is deep in thought, he can tell that whatever they are talking about is serious which makes him wonder why the hell they are having a meeting withou
