“Essa, I’m with Noelle.” He repeated. For a moment, Vanessa sat frozen, her eyes searching his face for something, some sign that he was lying, that he still felt the same way about her. But when she found nothing, her shoulders slumped slightly.“I see,” she said quietly, her voice barely a whisper.Silas felt a pang of guilt as he watched her stood up. He didn’t doubt that Vanessa loved him, she had always cared deeply about him, he could vividly remember like it was yesterday, and their breakup was his fault. He never saw her more than a friend, maybe he once did but it was a slight more, not the love feeling. Not close to what he felt for Noelle.He wanted to hold her and give her a friendly hug, but he knew he couldn’t give her what she wanted. His heart belonged to Noelle now, and that wasn’t going to change.Vanessa forced a smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I guess I was a fool to think things could go back to the way they were.”Silas opened his mouth to respond,

Noelle laughed again, her heart beating fast against her will. She didn’t know if it was because of what Bryan had just said or because she was actually bothered and insecure about Silas’s ex being at the palace with him.“That’s nonsense” She said.“It’s not, come here.” Bryan suddenly said.“What?”“Trust me, Noelle. Come here.” Bryan said again. Without overthinking it, Noelle’s legs took her to Bryan, placing her hands into his. “Close your eyes” Bryan instructed, her eyes roamed his face, observing to know he was sure of what he was doing. She closed her eyes and a second later, she felt Bryan’s forehead on hers, his breathe warm against her face.“What are you doing?” She asked.“Don’t open your eyes, just trust me. Be present and let me into your mind, don’t allow your mind to wander.” Bryan said to her. On instinct, Noelle did as she was instructed. She allowed herself to see Byan alone.And suddenly, she was somewhere else. A vision, it seemed. A kid was playing around, then

Noelle stood still, heart racing, her eyes fixed on Silas as he and Vanessa pulled away from one another. She almost acted on her wolf’s possessiveness as her eyes fell on Vanessa. She had already figured out that she must be the girl Bryan had talked about. Silas’ ex. They surely didn’t look like exes right now.“Noelle,” Silas called out, his eyes flashed with different emotions as he took Noelle in. Hurt, desire, hopeless. Noelle turned briskly away from the scene.He turned to look at Vanessa, his eyes filled with fury and regret that even Vanessa shuddered under his hard look. “You messed up,” He said before turning away from her, his eyes briefly meeting Bryan’s disapproval look before he made to follow Noelle.His eyes scanned around the people in the hall, hoping to catch sight of Noelle, and just then, he saw her, in a red dress walking towards the exit. He didn’t waste time, he dashed forward and in no time caught her hand. Noelle veered her head back in anger, to meet Sila

Silas shifted in his seat uncomfortably, Vanessa was finally awake but still weak. Her mother was beside her, tending to her immediately, but Silas’ mind was far away from her.“Silas,” Vanessa muttered, happy to open her eyes to see him. Silas looked at her. “You’re awake,” He said, smiling at her.“I’m glad you are here.” Vanessa said, smiling up at him.“Alec told me you were trying to save me, I’m sorry that had to happen Vanessa. Don’t make such silly mistakes ever again. I would still have been able to escape it.” Silas corrected, a faint smile on his lips.“I wouldn’t mind getting these ugly wounds again if it means saving you from harm Silas, so get ready, I’m your knight in shining armor.” Silas chuckled, but it was short.“You see, my daughter loves you too much for her own good. It’s night time you two rekindle your love and push your unimportant limitations aside.” Sophia, Vanessa’s mother said. With that, Vanessa returned her gaze to Silas. “He will soon know what’s best

Silas stood frozen there as Bryan’s car disappeared into the distance. He could feel a throbbing ache in his chest. “You don’t know better than I do” Bryan’s words replayed in his mind.The look of hurt in Noelle’s eyes haunted his mind too. His heart twisted violently as the thought of Noelle being with Bryan the previous night surfaced in his mind. Though, he was only assuming.He had no idea that Noelle was still in the palace. “Damn Vanessa!” He muttered under his breath. He had assumed Bryan had left the previous night when he didn’t find him in the palace. But now, doubt gnawed at him.He ran a hand through his already disheveled hair, pacing in the hallway. His mind screamed at him, accusing him of failing her, of pushing her into Bryan’s arms because of one reckless kiss with Vanessa. It was even Vanessa that caused it and it meant nothing, yet, it had ruined everything.“Damn it, Essa,” He cursed inwardly again. She had manipulated him, and now it was spiraling out of control
