EZRA'S POVCole didn't move from the doorway. He was still standing there with his arms at his sides. He appeared as if he was still trying to process the information I had given him. "You're not kidding?" He said after a while of silence. "No." He stepped back and let me in. He closed the door after me and turned around. He walked to and from the spot with one hand covering his mouth and another on his waist. "Okay, first of all, you have to tell me everything that happened on that visit." I didn't hold back anything. I explained my fears and also about Vera. I also mentioned how she still doubted Caelen. With each revealing sentence I made, Cole was confused. His expression switched from apprehension to surprise to many other emotions. When I finished, he sat on the couch and looked at the ceiling for a moment. "It's too similar to ignore." I said. "I know how it sounds. I don't know if it could be what I am thinking but..." I sighed and slumped next to him. "Th

EZRA'S POVThe first thing I noticed was that the border crossing had no gate at all. There was no check point, guard post or even an architecture of control that announced where one territory ended and another began. There was simply just a road that changed quality beneath the wheel. The air got warmer.Marco was driving with one hand on the wheel and the other massaging his head. He had been quiet for a while after sensing that I wasn't interested in conversation. He had purposely chosen to drive us rather than board a plane because he wanted me to see the 'beauty' that Valden had. "The outer districts first." He finally spoke for the first time in a while. "Then the centre. You'll understand the difference when you see it." He added boastful I looked out the window. Truly, the outer district of Valden Kingdom had a specific quality that I couldn't stop looking at. The buildings were lower than Caldenmoor's, more spread out, designed around open space rather than vertically

AUTHOR'S POVThe gallery was the opposite of the kind of space Matthew ran in Caldenmoor when Ezra first went there and it was probably because Vera's gallery was more of a private room located at the back of the house, past the main corridor and through a door that required a key she wore on a chain at her wrist. The room was very cool and it smelled of old paper and something preservative. The walls held portraits and drawings in frames of varying ages. They were pretty looking too. "Wait here." She said and entered the room. She instantly went to the far wall, to a cabinet built into it that Ezra hadn't noticed at all earlier and opened it. He stood near the door, waiting in high anticipation. His hands were still at his sides and his breathing? It was off and on. Even though he was supposed to feel warm, he was almost shivering from the coldness that had dawned on him without even knowing. Finally, Vera turned. In her hand was a frame that wasn't too large or small. It was

AUTHOR'S POV "The people who came on behalf of Caldenmoor to negotiate were Caelen and Aldric. You might not know this but those two of them go way back and their bond is very strong. At some point, we'd actually thought they were dating or so the rumors were in centuries but turned out they weren't. They just connected and had a very strong bond that could not be severed easily. When we didn't agree to bow, that night, with the permission of Caelen, Valden was attacked by the vampires." Ezra held his breath, the shocking news holding him by the throat literally. He blinked and finally propped his chin without saying a word so as not to interrupt Marco. "He and other Vampire officials were in charge of Valden until about twenty years ago when they finally let us be without suffocating us." "When you said they were in charge, was it that they flooded Valden after the war? How were they in charge?" "No, they didn't move into Valden but we lived by their rules and they had

EZRA'S POVThe next morning, I was already up at seven and had changed into my clothes of the day. I replied to a few messages from the quads who informed me they had caught the stalker and were waiting for him to wake up. I smiled when I saw that. I knew they could do it and to reward them, I took some pictures of myself in the bathroom and sent to them. My inbox had been ringing nonstop. I went down to join Marco and his aunt for breakfast. "How has your stay been here so far, Ezra? Do you like what you see?" Vera prompted me and I smiled, nodding my head like an obedient truth. Moreover, it was the truth. Valden was beautiful on its own. "Comparing that cold place..." she went ahead, referring to Caldenmoor, "...to this place of warmth, which is better?" Marco assisted with pouring juice into my cup. I pretended to rack my brain before I chuckled again. "I really can't say..." "Are you sure you 'can't' or you just 'won't?" "It's both. Caldenmoor and Valden are
