Ava reached into her closet and pulled out her nightdress. She carefully put it on, her eyes shifting to Damon, who stood on the balcony, gazing at the sky. Was he still upset about earlier? I did apologize, but my actions might still hurt him. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't forgive myself either.Shaking my head, I let my hair down, brushed it gently, and applied some strawberry lip gloss before embracing him from behind. "What's on your mind? Are you still mad at me?" He said nothing, only turned us around and hugged me from behind."No, silly, I'm not. You know I can't stay mad at you for long. I'm just thinking about tomorrow.""Are you scared?" I asked, turning to look into his eyes. "If you're scared, we can run away, far from here." My words made him laugh, and he looked down, smiling."Are you worried about me, Ava?" His hands cupped my backside, pulling me closer. I nodded, my expression staying serious even as he continued to playfully squeeze my backside."I am worried,

Ava gasped as she settled on a massive rock in the heart of the forest. "I am hungry," I grumbled, my gaze fixed on Sebastian, who appeared perplexed by the map still leading us in circles. "Sebastian!""Milady, you need to calm down," he growled. "You're the one who wishes to go to the witches' coven, not me.""What are you trying to say, Sebastian?" Standing up, he exhaled, folded the map, and shoved it into his pocket."Milady, you seriously need to calm down. There are a few villages close by, and I'm sure they will have some food.""Then what are we waiting for?" Holding his hand, I dragged him behind me. "Hurry up and show me the way to this village.""Okay, okay."Looking around the place, I gasped at how elegant the village was. Scratch that – it should be called a city, or better yet, a country. My gaze moved from one mansion to another, with no huts or any humble-looking houses. There must be rich people around here. "Let's head to the market. I'm guessing that's where we'll

Damon exhales, remaining seated while Grant and Chase lecture him on what they thought was right "What the hell Damon, you just lost the crown to that prick Norman. " Grant implored while I just nodded. "Come on man, why would you do something as terrible as that" he further inquired. "Well, I only did what needed to be done, and what's so wrong with losing" " you are stronger than that bastard Damon, so why the heck would you do that" Chase growled "Why the fuck did you do such a thing, are you sick in the head or something related to that " " don't cross the line Chase " shooting both of them glares. I stood to my feet and strode out of the little hut Grant could find for us. " I can't believe I am out here in hiding" Chase cries " I can't believe this is happening to me!!!" " shut up Chase!" Growling I look at the "Where is the royal seal" Grant handed it over to me and I grin "Arrange the horses, we are moving to Jaden's palace" " to do what exactly if I may ask, "Grant asks

" I am yours to marry Vila" Smiling I nod my head " But don't you think we need to talk privately, I mean it's not everything your brother needs to know "Her eyes widen with realization before she nods and for some reason, she seems excited. Although I would not blame her, I just told her that I was going to marry her and it's only normal for her to get excited." You're right, Lord Damon. We are going to get married, after all, so I think we should get to know each other properly." Vila smiled "Come to my study room, am sure it is something serious you wish to discuss"" it is, go ahead, I will be behind you "Watching her leave, my gaze moves to meet Jaden " You have what you ask for done, whatever happens between her and me from now on isn't your business right?"He nods "You're right, it isn't ""And you're not going to interfere in our matters" I added and he just nodded." Good, now reply to that message, tell him you aren't helping "" I know what to say stupid " Jaden growled, "

Ava stood still, taking everything in, different questions kept on ringing in her head, why do people keep warning her about the book, what's in this particular book that people are so scared of anyway? But one thing was certain, no matter how much anyone tried to make her change her mind, she was not going to give up easily. She's already come this far so it's too late to turn back. No, never, not now that she was determined to get stronger for Damon. "I am sick and tired of hearing this "Grabbing the book I look at Delia " I don't care if this book possessed your sister or if it hurt and killed people, do you understand that " " what are you saying milady" Looking at the book I nod my head then my gaze moves back to meet a confused-looking Sebastian " I have made up my mind, this book will accept and worship me, I have come so far for this stupid book, it's the only way for me to be strong and not opening it will determine my death so what do you think I should do! Just sit back an
