Estelle POVWe stayed in the conference room in silence waiting for them, according to her they are close to the palace and we are just waiting. Honestly I am scared, I don’t know why she is smelling death but I don’t want anybody on this table to die. Right now my senses are high and alert. A soft knock brought me out of my thoughts, I looked at the door and a guard walked in followed by Adam and Yasmine. I looked at them, they seemed normal, Adam looked all quiet and composed as usual and Yasmine glared at me as she walked in. I guess things have not changed with her.“Good morning,” Adam said, bowing a bit. I was almost convinced everything Zira said was a lie. He is always composed, never showing his emotions, how did he stay beside Aurelian all these years knowing in his heart he doesn’t like him and he wanted him out of his throne. How could he pretend that much?“Good morning Adam, please have a seat,” Aurelian said, calmly and gently and they both took their seats.“You didn’t

Estelle POVI walked to the ward, with Felix behind me. He was awfully quiet, staring at my head, and I shook my head at him. Why is he surprised by what I did? After all, I am Red, the night hunter, slayer of men, ruthless and cold. He has never seen this part of me, but at least he has heard of it. I entered the ward, and he was covered with green slimy stuff. They turned to me, and their eyes widened in shock.“Why is there blood all over you?” Maven asked. I smirked, remembering what I did to the bastard a Few Minutes Ago.“Now it is time to have an external punishment without dying,” I said, my voice dark and a smirk on my lips. I twirl my icy daggers in my hand, checking how sharp they are on my finger.“Oh, sharp. Just how I like it,” I mumbled, looking at the blades.“Estelle, what are you doing?” Felix asked, nervous. I looked at Adam, and I ignored Felix.“Try not to make this difficult,” I said, slamming him to the wall without lifting my finger. He groaned, not expecting it

Estelle POVIt’s been a few days since everything, and well, Aurelian is still not awake. Zira said he is making progress and should be awake soon and I have been patiently waiting for him to open his gray eyes. I have spent the days sleeping, staying by his side, just practically doing nothing. I haven’t been that worried since Zira assured me and I can see he is improving. I sighed, putting on my shorts in the closet, then I went back to the room. Of course, there is no way he will keep staying in the ward. We had him move here. I lay down beside him, covering our body with the blanket. It’s been raining these days.“Goodnight Aurelian,” I mumbled, kissing his cheeks. Then I lay down, closing my eyes. This has been a daily occurrence, wish him good morning and good night, sleep while clutching to his arm. I just hope one day he will reply to my greetings and cuddle me to sleep. Thunder struck heavily while I drifted off to sleep. I don’t know how deep I have slept, but I felt a kiss

Estelle POVIt was the next day and I haven’t seen Aurelian much and I don’t know why. Is he avoiding me for what I did to Adam? Adam totally deserved it. It was his mistake to mess with him. I only got my revenge, not like I killed him. Honestly, I don’t care if Aurelian is angry, if the opportunity comes I would do it again without looking back. I got to the study, and he was there with some men talking.“Please, excuse us,” I said. They look at Aurelian like they were asking for permission and he signaled them to leave. I sighed, walking to him.“Are you avoiding me, Aurelian?” I asked. He shook his head no.“I feel you are,” I snapped, pissed.“Why do you feel I am angry with you?” he asked.“You have been ignoring me since yesterday, is it because of what I did to Bryan? Is that why you are ignoring me?” I asked. He sighed.“I am not ignoring you Estelle, I am just trying to save us from dying,” he said. I shook my head at him.“If it’s because of Adam I am not sorry, I would do i

Estelle POV“So, what do you want to talk about?” I asked. She looked at me, and she cleared her throat.“You know, I always hated Aurora. I hate hearing her name or anything concerning her,” she said.“Okay,” I said, dragging the y. I think it’s obvious; she passed on the hate to me. If she hated me this much, just how much did she hate Aurora?“I won’t lie; yes, I contributed to her death the second time,” she said. I looked at her. Should I be surprised? Or shock? Or normal, because I knew she was capable of it? “I poisoned her slowly; I wanted her dead. She was weak and vulnerable, and she couldn’t do anything to save herself. I was mad. Aurelian always had to protect her, keep her from harm, and always run to her rescue, even with the slightest headache. She didn’t need to trouble him that way; she didn’t need him to make him run at any discomfort she felt; she was highly pathetic, and her presence irritated me to no end,” she said.“One day, Aurelian and I talked, and he told m
