Today was Sabrina's welcoming ball. The entire town was excited except for Sabrina herself. If anything she felt for the upcoming event, it was dread. Today the date of their mating ceremony was to be announced. Cyrus didn't come to meet her last evening as Elijah had kept him engaged in number of works. She was more than thankful for that. She could pretend but her wolf would not. She would most likely go violent on him and shred him, royal or not. She was relieved that at least she wouldn't have to go through that ordeal. She was ripped from her thought by Cyrus' arrival announcement. She groaned in annoyance but quickly masked her irritation with a fake smile when the door opened and revealed the man she had no interest in seing. His eyes lit up with zeal as soon as they laid on her."Princess," he called. Sabrina climbed to her feet. "Your highness," she curtsied to the prince. The corner of his lip tugged up into a lopsided grin. Sabrina felt him approaching her and in no tim

"I don't wish to be mated just yet," Elijah said in a dismissive tone. He had no plans to settle down not until he had his revenge. A spasm of relief coursed through her. " I would have at least thought over it if I were you. The Silverstone stone is known for its ferocious army. It can be to our advantage during the war," the King remarked. Now everyone was looking at Elijah, curious to know his response. Elijah was very passionate about the war. Elijah spied a furtive glance at Sabrina before nodding his head. "I'll think over it," he stated reluctantly. A tear slipped down her eyes and she scooted the chair back to rise, snatching everyone's attention including Elijah's. "I am afraid I am not feeling well. Can I leave?" Sabrina pasted a small smile on her face. "Shall I accompany you?" Cyrus asked, staring up at her. The muscle along Elijah's jaw tightened and he clenched his fists. " I appreciate your concern, your highness, but I will be fine," she replied politel

She couldn't even scream as a callous hand clamped down on her mouth. Her doe-like eyes turned wider with fear and more so when she was spun and her back was slammed against the wall behind her. She opened her mouth to scream but her voice was muffled once again by that mighty hand. She felt the heat of his body touching hers. With glossy eyes, she dared to look up. Her small frame was completely shadowed by this giant. A pair of blazing embers were staring down at her. Recognition filled her eyes followed by confusion. Her struggles ceased. He loosened his hold on her mouth."What..what are you doing?" her voice had a tremor in it. Instead of answering, Elijah lowered his face till their lips were inches apart. His gaze was fixated on her lips. Sabrina held her breath and stood still. He exhaled a hot breath against her lips, causing her nerves to tingle with anticipation. He moved closer. Now she could feel the heat of his lips against hers. Just when she thought he was going to kis

Gripped by shock, Sabrina clenched her eyes shut as she saw his hand flying toward her. She waited for the impact but it never came. "I'll cut your hands off if you even dared to touch her," Elijah's angry-filled voice caused her to snap her eyes open. The sight caught her by surprise. Elijah was holding Cyrus' wrist in a rather painful grip. Both the brothers were glaring at each other with murderous intent. Their jaw was set and shoulders tensed. "Amira, take her along with you," Elijah instructed Amira while staring his cousin down. Sabrina silently followed Amira. A part of her was relieved but a part of her was concerned too. What if Cyrus did something to Elijah? It was plain to see that Elijah was physically stronger but Cyrus had an evil mind. What if he schemed against Elijah? She was tempted to intervene but thought against it. Her intervention would only exacerbate the situation.She followed Amira into the carriage and the vehicle trotted off. "I can have your head for

Sabrina missed her mother. She missed her family, She missed Lhea, her maid. And most importantly she missed her old life. Those people lied who said mate bond brings happiness. She hadn't felt an ounce of happiness. The only thing she felt was pain. Boundless pain. When will it end? The girl wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and stared out the window. Her beautiful sparkly blue eyes were dull with melancholy. Sadness lingered in them. She was in her room the whole day and no one bothered to check on her. A maid had come once to ask her for lunch but Sabrina had refused with a wave of her hand. Not only her appetite but it felt like her spirit had also died since the moment she saw him holding her hand. How could he do this to her? A fresh set of tears filled her eyes. He had hurt her brutally. She felt dejected, helpless, and depressed. The pain felt physical. But there was nothing she could do about this but only imagine. She imagined what could have happened if he had his
