Andre’s POV“ What is going on?” I panicked as I kept on contemplating what exactly could be wrong. I didn't like this. I never had. Eleanor lay down, almost winded as she tried to breathe effortlessly. I was a mess. Not any better than she was. “ Aren't you going after Phoebe?” I threw him a sizzling gaze, one that told him to shut his mouth up, before pacing up and down still. I had a hand underneath my chin. My stomach churned endlessly at the possibility that I wouldn't have her with me anymore. “ What exactly is wrong with her? Why isn't my mate doing or saying anything?” I was a mess, and better than I should have been. “ Your majesty” I could see that he was fidgeting, I didn't know if it was underneath my gaze or something else had to do with it, but he was shaking like a fallen leaf would have been. “ Yes, speak up” any more minute and I would snap. He was taking a lot of time and I didn't like that. “ She was poisoned” A ding sound resonated through the atmosphere as

Andrea’s POVI slammed my fist hard into the wall, my eyes brimming with so much hurt than I could fathom. My eyes took in Phoebe's steps as she stalked away, her shoulders raised so high like she had won this. Letting out a huff of air, I ran a hand through my hair, wondering who exactly I was going to get her off my back. Was she dense or so stupid?

The door cranked open announcing her presence and when our eyes met, all I felt was disgust.

Phoebe footsteps echoed down the hall as she pivoted down to her room, her heart slamming so hard again it's ribcage. “ Ahhhhhh” she yelled out frustrated as her hands moved over the top of the table, flipping everything off it. Her chest rose and fell slightly at the same time a hand ran through her hair. “ I will kill you, Eleanor. I will make sure that you pay for everything, for taking Andre away from me, I am going to make you shed tears for the rest of your life” she swore before pushing herself against the wall, needles jabbed her heart. Elder Darren, who had been awakened by the sound of crashing items, stood up abruptly as he made his way to the source of the noise he had heard. His heart splitted at the thought that it was his daughter but he hoped that wasn't true. She wasn't supposed to be crying and she wasn't supposed to be here. The palace was where she was supposed to be, beside Andre. Pushing the door open, he was startled to see her leaning against the wall, stre
