Zelda’s POV As the first rays of dawn crept into the room, I awoke with a heaviness that seemed to permeate every fiber of my being. The weight of the night's emotions still clung to me like a shroud, casting a shadow over me. The period from slumber to being awake was followed by a sense of reluctance, as if part of me longed to remain tied in the comfort of sleep, shielded from the worries of the world.As I stirred, the feeling of heaviness persisted—an invisible anchor that seemed to push me to the bed. The act of pushing aside the covers and rising from the bed required an effort, as if I were lifting the weight of my emotions along with my body.I sluggishly stood up and moved to the window, pulling the curtain aside. The air felt still, almost as if it couldn't let out it's breath. I sighed as I got ready to wash up. I stepped into the bathroom, bracing myself as the cool water splashed onto my face. I looked up at the mirror and saw the reflection of a determined, resilient

Zelda's povThe moment my eyes locked onto the gleam of the blade, a primal instinct stirred within me—an instinct that recognized the danger in its most visceral form. The metallic glint, sharp and unforgiving, seemed to cast a malevolent shadow over the scene, its presence a chilling harbinger of the impending threat.Fear, like an icy current, surged through my veins, sending a shiver down my spine that seemed to resonate with the very essence of my being. It was as if time itself had slowed, every heartbeat amplified, every breath a measured intake of the charged atmosphere that enveloped us.His movements, deliberate and calculated, set my heart pounding like a drum—a frantic rhythm that echoed the urgency of my thoughts. With each step I took back, the gap between us widened, a desperate attempt to create distance between myself and the threat he embodied. The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in as my mind grappled with the realization that there was no easy escape.The

Zelda's povFor a split second, I thought I caught a glimpse of Ajax. When I looked closely, there was no sight of him anymore. I shook my head vigorously as if the image of the man I was missing could be removed by doing so.I had missed him too much that I see him everywhere.I consoled myself with the fact that his presence keeps me company. But I wanted to do something too. I wanted to meet with Alaric. What happened the last time was still puzzling and I wonder if he would still have the mind to kill me again. Biting my lips to suppress my fears and hidden worries, I made a quick dash toward the monster mate room. Would he be shocked or angry to see me? Stepping into the room, I was keenly aware of my surroundings as my eyes found him, his presence seemed to fill the room. His aura- a force to be reckoned with. But it seems to remind me of the fact that he was still the same powerful figure whose plans had been thwarted by the Moon Goddess. In that moment, as I stood there fac

Zelda’s POV“I will go with both of you,” I said to them, trying to cool the tension.“Better,” Alaric said with a smirk tugged at his lips.I looked at him irritated, but I knew I could not show it as I was not desiring any more drama.I left the dining hall with an immense feeling of regret, I couldn’t believe the fact that I created this bizarre situation myself. I kept scolding myself on my way out the door. Not only that, but I should've kept quiet, I should have pushed aside the urge to say something to Aiden at that moment.I paced through my room as my anxiousness grows with each step I took, I decided to accept my faith and go down the stairs.As I walked down the stairs, I knew deep down that I needed to brace myself for whatever might unfold. I saw Aiden and Alaric standing there, both looking dashing and masculine. They both turned around to look at me as my approaching step caught their attention. They both smiled, but Alaric’s smile creeps me out every time, I just c

Alaric POVI stood there in silence as I struggled with the reality that Aiden suspected Ajax. I would’ve doubted Ajax if this had to do with Zelda, as he will do anything to have her, but that’s not the case with the throne. Aiden and I sat there in silence as we couldn’t find the right word to say currently, I finally cleared my throat to break the silence,“Although I don’t know who is behind whatever is going on within the council, I can sure you that Ajax will never do anything like that,” I said, trying hard to convince Aiden to get rid of that thought.“Then who else is there to suspect, who will go to the extent of poisoning the minds of the nobles?” He asked desperately as if begging me for answers.“We might not know who is it, but his intentions are crystal clear, he doesn’t want any of us to sit on that throne.” “We are going to find whoever is pulling the strings together,” I said as I pat his back gently.I walked out of Aiden’s room with a heavy heart and so many ques
