But it is not only their power that you must fear; it is those who a

-Lucy’s POV- I could not believe that I followed Conner’s orders. I am currently riding in his Rolls Royce Cullinan silently, while my heart is rebelling.

“Enzo thinks he can hide in the shadows of the coven. He thinks he can use my father’s enemies to take your throne. We are going to show him that the Obsidian Pack and the Warlock Kingdom are not to be trifled with.” As they walked back toward the palace together, the dawn began to break over the horizon, painting the sky in shades of bruised purple and burning orange.
