Damien’s POV“Can you believe that bastard? I can’t believe he played in our faces,” I let out, still boiling from Reva’s rejection.“At least, he was nice enough to give us a chance to spend the night. What if he had sent us away?” Elena whispers.I scratch my forehead. “Honesty, I don’t think I would have even minded. At that moment, I was just so pissed.”She pulls her head off my chest, staring at me. “Don’t let it bother you too much.”“But I can’t help it, Elena. I can’t help it. You know what is at stake.”“I understand. But being worried about it like this won’t change anything. We just need to think and restrategize. Another option will definitely come.”“How certain are you? I mean, you were literally the one who was against this trip on our way here. In fact, I now wish I listened to you.“Well that was then. And don’t say things like that. This isn’t the time to give up. If we give up now, what’s going to happen to everyone? Are we just supposed to let them go find your d

Damien’s POVI walk away from them, making my way deep into the rising darkness of the woods. I can’t believe my ears. I can’t believe what I just heard. I come to a stop beside a tree, holding onto it and immediately, my mind travels back to something.My dream. The one I’ve been having all these years. The face of the girl that could never ever seem to grab. It was all now coming back to me, the discovery shattered my world.It was Elena all along. I remembered when I told her about it a few weeks ago and how she reacted. I knew that something but I never thought it was this deep. I never thought she was the lost Lunaris princess nor could I have ever imagined that my father was responsible for destroying our whole family.I let out a dry laugh, letting the imagination wash through me again.My father destroyed her family.And he certainly knew about this but still decided to marry her to my brother. Why?Why would he do that?What was his actual plan?I have no answer to any

Damien’s POVWill I save my brother to betray these people or betray my brother to save these people?This is a question that continues to swirl in my mind as we make our way through the woods quietly. I think that Elena’s defense of me and I find it almost funny because I know she has her own reservations. She has seen me breakdown in matters regarding my brother and knows just how much I care for him so I know she must have our own fear about Reva’s words. But even in a situation like that, she was still willing to hold me in high esteem and trust in me regardless of everything flying around. I don’t ride with her, I just maintain the rear cut watching her and Taren quietly ride side by side together. And just when I’m still thinking of what to do with him, my brother seems to just be giving me reasons to make a choice regarding his life. He seems to just be pushing me to the wall, giving me no justification to want to protect him. I let out a frustrated sigh. She must have hear

Damien’s POV I drop to my knees, unable to move closer to. I just remain there, staring at the lifeless body. The tears want to roll down but I know I have to control myself. I have too many eyes on me to let me get to the point. But it’s hard. It’s difficult. Taren has always been a part of our lives. He was Lukas’s beta and was the only one who knew about our plans to run away from the palace. Even when Lukas fell back, he still followed me saying he couldn’t leave me outside by myself. He followed me because he wanted to protect me. And now, when it was time to repay the act, I couldn’t. Elena Crouches low beside me, wrapping her hand slowly around my neck. “We have to go, we have to leave before they come back with reinforcements.” The words come out of her mouth brokenly. I lift my head, staring at her. I can see that she’s hurt and only trying to control herself. In her eyes, I can see the guilt. But I know she’s right. It’s what my brother has done today, he can def

Elena’s POVI’m in my room, still trying to pull myself together but it is basically as hard as I knew it would be. Taren’s image keeps coming to my mind, the worst being the scene of us putting him to a final rest just a few minutes ago.I can’t believe it.And I know Vale we’ll be so crushed when he gets back. He was as close to a man as Damien was. The man was basically a father to both of them.The father they never had.Although Damien has tried to convince me that it isn’t my fault, I just can’t help it continue to have this thought.I mean if he never tried to help me, he would still be alive. But because of my luck of letting the people around me get hurt, he had to lose his life.Just like Rune had to get kidnapped.Everyone in my life, connected to me in one way or another has had to suffer.Even Lukas.Even though he’s a perpetrator of this now, I can’t deny that there was a time the man also suffered because of me, because of my luck.Then my family? Only the one godde
