CHAPTER Daphine POVHis eyes were closed and he was definitely trying to observe silence thus, the question why he would choose to call me at such hour, when he knew that it was times like this he meditate.Once again, the door opened and standing behind me, was the hybrid prince, who seemingly looked like he just came out of a fight."I called you both here for the same reason. I need you to understand that the lines for battle has been drawn and while on a trance few minutes ago, it was revealed to me that the an invasion would be happening soon. Several men would be on their way here with several army; and also army of the dead." His explIvorytion gave me goosebumps.I turned and stared at the prince and surprisingly, he was also staring in return."So what you trying to say is that we have to up our training?" Levi opened his eyes and stood up from his position."The best form of invisibility lies in defence however, possibility is always in the attacks. Both of you, would be t
Daphine POVMorning came quite fast than I had imagined. The night may have been short due to the conversation with King Melchizedek. All thoughts had been on what the training would look like. Being a witch, who had wished to be a soldier, I was glad to know I will be getting the training I desire. However considering it's a first time, I knew more than anything else that alot of things could occur, thid propelled my anxiety to increase.Beside me, Rex was still asleep and I could only but stare at him with pity. Rolling him back to face me, I smiled seeing how innocent he looked. Rex is a fine man and there was no dispute about it."I will be grateful if you stop staring at me like I am some monument." His statement while his eyes were still closed was creepy and it had me frightened for a moment."Did you have to do that?" I asked holding my chest, while he had a smile on his face."I was wide awake before you got up. Seems to me you were exhausted." He stated, getting up from his
Daphine POVSoaking up the tension in the atmosphere, I had reduced the level of my anxiety to zero and concentrated on my opponent. Remembering the instructions from the triplets, while they had attempted to train me, I knew they would be to great use.This time I accelerated with the attack and begin to attempt to strike a part of him with the sword, but he was experienced in the defense area and this meant serious problem to me. After a second long battle of having to use my sword effortlessly, I felt moved back by his strong hands and he initiate an attack. His strikes were firece and the impact left my hands shaking visibly. I wasn't a master at sword using and in the end, he dispossessed my sword off my hands, placing the point to my neck region."I thought you had the advantage when you began the attack." Levi's voice came through to my hearing, after the grumpy guy had dropped his sword. "When you give your enemy the slightest opportunity, they will pounce and feed on you lik
ChapterRex POVI have never seen Ivory looked so pissed before and despite the implication that would come with such behavior, I liked her this fireced. Walking behind her till we got to our room, I sat by the chair and watched Ivory lay back to the bed. The evening was slowly approaching, a testament to how long we had stayed at the training ground."The fact that he thinks fighting with sword is the best way to beat an opponent, is irritating." Ivory stated out of the blue. She was indeed still grumbling over her encounter with the prince."You know he has a point right?" I wished I hadn't said that statement as Ivory gots up to stare at me in the most twisted way possible. "You are going to support him? Really Rex? Why am I surprised, this is coming from someone who used riffles anyways." Her savagery at this point was hilarious and all efforts to contain my laughs yield no results, as I burst out into a hysterics of laughs."Keep laughing all you want, we both know I am saying t
Daphine POVAs I step out of the room, I couldn't help but feel guilty. This was the man that had laid out his past on my table and what do I make out of it? Kissing him.What's more hurtful was the realization that it was one of the most intense moment of my life. Never had anyone made me feel this good, but being around Rex had created such a good energy.As I walked through the hallway, all I could hear was groans and roars, coupled with clashing sound of swords. I head to the training ground and what appeared before me, was Levi training with a dummy. He looked very determined and for every bead of sweats that dropped from his body, he strikes even harder at the dummy, till he eventually broke it."You should keep your impressed look for when I am done on the battlefield." He said without having to look back. "I didn't say I was impressed and I never had a smile on my face as well; you were just imagining things." He chuckled, while he use his sword to push away the broken dummy.

DAPHINE POV"But it almost burned you!" I said, my face flushing from embarrassment. "What would happen if I wasn't able to get this magic under control, Levi? It could harm others or worse yet, myself!""It will take some time, Ivory, but you will learn to control it. After all, I still remember my first transformation and the degree of destruction I caused to my room." He said. "It will be alright, Ivory, trust me.""But what if I don't want this?" I asked. I wasn't ready to carry the burden of powers yet. I needed more time."You may not want this, Ivory," Levi said, "But you have it, and it will become more important to your survival in the coming days."His words hung in the air like a chain I couldn't get out of. I knew he was right, but I wasn't ready for this.I turned away, gazing at the damage I had caused, and suddenly I could feel a familiar force rise up within me.A small wind gusted around us, and I could feel the anger mounting within me. The force that was within me r
DAPHINE POVThe sun was setting, and the sky was filled with a brilliant array of colors. We sat there on the hilltop, holding hands and enjoying the view. We talked and laughed, getting to know each other even more. It felt like we had known each other for years, and yet it was only the beginning of our story.The sun sank below the horizon, and the sky grew dark. The stars began to appear, and we sat in silence, just taking in the moment.Then, a thought occurred to me."There's something I want to show you." I said, getting to my feet. "He looked at me curiously, but he trusted me and got to his feet as well. I took his hand and led him away from the hilltop, down a winding path. We walked in silence, the only sound the rustling of the leaves and the chirping of the crickets. Finally, we reached a clearing in the woods, where a small pond was surrounded by trees. The water was still, reflecting the moon and the stars."It's beautiful." He said, his voice full of wonder. "How did yo
