Raven’s POV I rested there staring at my suitcase, the clothes that were provided from the royal’s loaded inside. Cassius stood across my room chatting it up with Elijah and I had to admit, this was the happiest I’ve seen him in forever. “What about our old spot? I wonder if it’s still standing!” Elijah exploded and Cassius carried the conversation on by agreeing and hoping it was. The door to my room creaked open to an astonishing Queen Fara. Her clothing choice had consisted of a loose golden dress that flowed out around her feet, complementing her dirty blonde hair. “Are you all ready?” I looked around the room and noticed one person was missing. Rhyland. “Uh- the Prince isn’t here yet.” She smiled over at me and nodded gently. &

Raven’s POV My heart pounded loudly against my eardrums, and my stomach was twisted into so many knots that I thought it would never go back to normal. Butterflies fluttered inside my core as he looked down at me, his smirk slowly but surely turned into a frown as he eased me down, unraveling my legs from his waist. He took two steps back away from me and placed his hand over his mouth while he paced back and forth on the floor. His face slowly starting to show panic that I didn’t know the Prince was capable of. As I watched his demeanor completely take a turn, I started to get anxious. “W-what?” I sputtered out, still in shock. His eyes found mine but this time… This time they looked dark, like a storm that had begun to brew. “I… That was a mistake.” He muttered out. His movements stilled as he peered up at m

Raven’s POV My eyes widened as I watched Rhyland yank his hand from the water immediately. He looked around at all of us before shaking his head, like he couldn’t believe what had just happened. I don't think any of us could. “How is that possible?” Queen Fara mumbled while stepping towards Rhyland who took a step back from her. “... You… You belong here.” The villager’s shocked tone matched his face. Rhyland’s captivating eyes looked in my direction almost pleadingly. “I-It’s not-,” “It is. The land wouldn’t lie.” I assured him, but he shook his head and stepped out of the water. His expressions seemed so worried, and I couldn’t understand why. But how was that even possible.. When I tried to train him back at his castle he showed no signs of weilding another ele

Rhyland’s POV I could hear rough footsteps coming up the stairs, not the ones you’d want to hear. The type of footsteps that let you know you were in a heap of trouble. My eyes cast over to the hallway, seeing as my door was already opened and a fuming Cassius came into view. “I knew it! I knew you were in it for your fucking self!” I kept my face from showing any emotion, knowing good and well I should’ve known Raven would run to her older brother with this information. He walked right up to me and stood directly in my face, his eyes held so much fury and I could definitely feel heat rolling off of him. So that is his element I’m guessing? “I knew your sister would run to you, but did she tell you everything I said? Or just the parts she thought you’d want to hear?” At this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he slightly shook his head while his confusio

Rhyland’s POVI felt foreign in my own body, the only think I could do was protect her. Thats the only thing I
