Andrew's POV: I get my car out of the driveway and wait for Ana to come. I lean back and take a breath. These last few days have not gone as I would've liked . They were chaotic . Utter chaos. I learned some new things about Ana too. Turns out she is 'The Princess' after all. The missing royal who was assumed dead until now. I wish we never knew that bit of information . That way we atleast could've got a few days without any drama , just stayed together but alas. You don't know how I felt when the king was about take her with him. I felt broken , like a piece of life was being stolen from me. I completely lashed out. I didn't even knew that I could feel something like that. The door shuts and Ana sits inside. She looks out and waves to my family. They all are outside and Alex is not kissing Jasper , for starters. That's unusual. I see a few tears in mom's eyes . What is up with them? They all are acting quite differently today. They should be happy that Ana is not leaving. Did some

Ana's POV:I turn and I force myself to open my eyes. I check the time on my phone and get up . I wish I could just lie here with him all day , all night , even my whole life but that's just how it is supposed to be. I hug myself and try to find my clothes. God , why is it so cold right now? I search under my bed to find my top but I find myself looking at the shreds of the shirts , all teared . How did my shirt tore? Oh,yeah. Drew did that. My cheeks heat up at the memory of last night. I was so close to losing my virginity to the man I love the most. I almost caved and went through with it but the thought of leaving him was enough to make me think otherwise. I don't want my first time with him to be a pity fuck or a goodbye fuck. I want it to be meaningful , something nice and ever lasting. I had to stop him before it got to the point of no return and he immediately stopped and pulled back when I asked him to stop. Just like a gentleman, at first I thought he would be angry like most

Andrew's POV:"Calm down , son. Please, Drew. It's breaking my heart. I can't bare to look at you like this. Please , stop." Aurora says in a small voice and hugs me closer. I stop crying and I get up from the ground . Pulling myself up with all my strength. " Hey, don't vampire speed again. Keep my human legs in mind , the next time . Okay? " Jerah enters out of nowhere , stops running and breathes harder. He chuckles , not aware of his surroundings but then his eyes meet mine, " Oh oh." He mutters." Let's go back inside. It's about to rain." Aurora says and we all slowly usher inside. I take a seat in the living room and rub my head. Alex sits by me and hugs me." I am so sorry Drew. Here, take this, it will reduce your headache." Charlie says and hands me a glass of concoction. " How do you know my head was hurting?" I ask him skepticallly." I helped Ana drug you up." He says." What?!" I exclaim, " Why would you do that?!" I ask him and then he starts telling me . Everything

Ana's POV: I toss and turn , trying to sleep , but each time , I close my eyes, my mind goes to Drew. I wonder what he might be upto? Would he have forgiven me? I hope he is not being harsh on his famliy or Jer and I hope the ache in his heart heals and I hope he moves on and falls in love again. No, that's a lie. I don't want that to happen. I can't bear to see him with some other girl, his hands around her and then he smiles at her , with dimples. She leans in for a kiss and- Nope , not going down that road. Not a nice way to punish myself for leaving him. I need to distract myself from Drew. I recall the boxes that Aurora gave me to open once I reach here, so I get up but immediately regret it when I am greeted by cold floors and chilly air. I am probably freezing because the only thing I am wearing is a slip that Alex gave me as gift on her wedding. I quickly open my suitcase and take the box out. I sit on the couch across my bed and open the box . The first thing I see is a ph

The huge doors creaking open and I clutch my hands at my side and enter as confidently as I can. Mia looks at my fists forming and holds my hand . I smile at her and she gives me one smile before leaving my side .As soon as I take a step inside I see various expressions on every person present . Some people gasp and some sneer and some look like they want to attack me . I gulp and Kai and dad stand in front of me." They won't hurt you." Kai assures me as he whispers .I nod briefly and look at the council." Everyone , Meet my daughter , Ella. " As soon as dad says those words , every body is shocked . They start firing questions at the same time and their voices are so loud that I flinch . How? She didn't die with Qetsiyah ? When did you find her? Where was she all this time? Blah blah blah." Silence!" Dad shouts and they take their seats. " I will answer all your questions but only if you stop talking and start listening. " He says and they all nod.Kai and dad sit , so I too fo
