ANNA'S POVMy head was still trying to figure out what Lartes had done to me. Had he heard what I asked myself?But then I frowned as I thought about it all over again. He couldn't possibly have gone through my thoughts. That was impossible.But then again, if he didn't, how come he nodded?My mind drifted once again as I began to feel the pull of Xavier's presence within me.I was disgusted by it and all I wanted was to throw it out of me. But it seemed like the more I fought it, the stronger the pull.Why was I feeling this way?We had sex but he didn't tell me. Simple sex couldn't have made his presence embed itself within me.What did he do to me?And then the most expensive question in my head remained. Why couldn't I move?I felt everything around me like I was in some kind of weird movie where my body could be stiff and my eyes closed, yet I could literally feel and see all that went on around me.My heart started racing as Xavier's presence made itself stronger. This time, it

ANNA'S POVThe voices left just the same way they had come and they left me drained. I slumped into the bed and surrendered myself into the hands of a peaceful sleep.It was a wild ride for both I and the other people in the room. I heard a man beg the goddess for his life a couple of times as I convulsed and I could only wonder what my life had to do with him staying alive.Minutes after I slept, I felt the presence of someone I knew too well.It was Xavier. I knew without a doubt. But it was not how it used to be. His presence did not feel the same way it used to feel. It was as if I could feel him more now. Like he was not only in the room with me but he was within me.The feeling was not a bad one but it was a very strange one as I had never in my life felt someone in my head before. It was so real as if he was in my head and not in the room...I wanted to wake up and see him but I was so tired that I did not even try.I heard a man narrate some of the things that happened to m

XAVIER'S POV"I need to go," I said out loud. I purposely ignored her question while looking around trying to find somewhere suitable I could hide her."Who do you need to warn?!" I heard her ask me in my head once again. She was adamant about getting her answer and as much as I missed this part of her, I couldn't deal with it at that moment.So once again, I did not give her an answer.She pushed away from my body and I actually let her as I had been preoccupied with much bigger problems in my head that I could not be bothered with putting up a struggle with her."What's going on Xavier?" She asked me her voice sounding more like a growl than her usual voice in my head.It was as if this new mode of communication of ours had become her favorite as she had not spoken to me with her mouth ever since the discovery.I looked down at her and saw her looking at me with cloudy eyes that were filled with suspicion."Do you know something about what is going on?" She asked me as she looked

XAVIER'S POVMy whole body went cold as I heard what the soldier had said.My instincts had been right. I should have never trusted Nico. I was a fool to have thought I would get loyalty from a mercenary whose only loyalty lay in how much money he was paid.A blast of a cannon shook the whole place making the ground shake like the tremors of an earthquake.The blast was followed by the guttural screams of the men who had been wounded —making the place sound so eerie."We need to do something! We can't just stand here! They would breach these gates if we do not act fast!" I said more to myself than to the soldier.Now that I knew that Nico was not acting based on my orders and rather was acting against me, it was time for me to take things seriously and not only protect myself but protect my legacy. I looked at the soldiers, most of whom had faces that looked like they were ready to kill. Very few of them looked shaken by what was going on out there and those were the young ones who h

XAVIER'S POV"Why did you stop us? We would have killed them all! Why did you do that?" Jehu questioned me aggressively.I did not have an explanation to give him and so I brought out my perfect defence from my artillery."And who are you to question my authority?" I asked Jehu. My voice was just as stern as my face and I dared him to give me a reply.He was breathing hard with anger and from the look on his face I knew he was trying his best to keep from replying to me.I looked at what was left of the palace guards –men who looked so angry one would think they would explode. The adrenaline that was pumping in their blood could be seen in the tremors coursing through their bodies. They wanted blood and I had denied them of it. But it was for the greater good.My greater good.I was in a fix. I knew that I needed to give them an explanation as to why I had stopped them but I could not think of any at that moment.Nico may not have killed me but he had set a trap for me that was defin
