Royal's POV Just as these doubts threatened to consume me, the sound of footsteps echoed outside the room. The door burst open, and the tall, imposing figure barged in. His eyes bore into mine, filled with a mix of urgency and intensity. "Royal," he said, his voice commanding yet tinged with a hint of desperation. "I need to know. Have you made your decision?" I blinked, momentarily taken aback by his sudden intrusion. It was clear that time was of the essence and the gravity of the situation pressed upon me with renewed force. This was my moment of truth, the crossroad that would shape not only my fate but also the lives of countless others.

Alisha retorted, halting him midway in his talks. He frowned. "At least let me finish before you start your gibberish." She hissed. He smiled. "The Pawn has two purpose," he started. "As a sacrificial lamb and the other, is to transform into a powerful piece." He sneered as he approached her. Gripping her wrist tightly to the chair's arm so that she found it hard to wrestle. His warms breaths swarm towards her and his endearing yet dangerous eyes caused fear to set within her. Her breaths started to shoot out fast and short while she turned her face away from his. Unable to accommodate his dominating aura. "What do you want?" She fearfully inquired. "Money?"

The moment has finally come, and she has to face the reality of her dreams. “As you already know, those of you who passed the tests are automatically offered a place among the ranks of the Royal Guard,” Nicholas announces. Morrigan can’t help it as her heart begins to race again. “Those of you who would like to accept this offer, please take a step forward.” A tense moment passes. No one steps forward.

Her head is held high and any emotions have been wiped from her face, in fear she might cry and be seen as weak otherwise.

His pants and boxers joined the growing pile of discarded clothing on the floor. For a moment, we stood there, drinking each other in or unsure if we should take this route. My heart began beating so hard, I wouldn't have been surprised if he was able to hear it. His hands reached my body, relearning every curve. "Wait," I gasped, pulling back. "Protection?" He groaned, forehead resting against mine. "Right. Yes. Of course." He set me down gently, fumbling with his wallet. I watched, heart racing, as he pulled out a small foil packet.

Pearl Gem After years of sorrow and teeth-gnashing, the gates of Castle Royal opened once again for me as the car drove slowly into the long driveway. The last time I was here, we hadn’t made it this far. Back then, Kade King was only a prince. Now, he is King. A man everyone bows to.

Something dark that I’ve always kept suppressed, but now… He laughs, a sharp and unsettling sound that makes my skin crawl as he takes a step back, his eyes never leaving mine. Kai steps in front of me fully, chest to chest with his brother and cuts off our eye contact. I take the first deep breath of air I’ve had since waking up, my magic calm with his promises of violence. “She’s not your pawn,” Kai growls. “Oh, she’s not a pawn,” Talon says, tilting his head with a smile. “She’s the queen piece, our most powerful player, and the rest of us? We’re just weapons waiting to be sacrificed, so she can win the game.”

The first thing I think to myself as his words sink in me is ‘what the fuck is he talking about’. What pawn? What revenge game? I feel the dots are staring me right in the face and I can't just seem to connect them. The confusion must be evident on my face because right now, it's Adrian that's laughing and not me anymore.
