“Your mom and I were... close friends when we were younger. You could even say best friends.” She delivered a genuine smile my way before releasing the pendant back onto her skin. If she were such good friends with my mother, why had I never met her? Some things weren't adding up and my anxiety throughout my body told me not to trust her.

The sun had set as I rested at the edge of the bed. I had been patiently waiting for the sound of Cassius' door to open, so I could speak to him, but the hallway was dead silent.A rather loud knock on the door had me on my feet in a matter of second. I hurried across the cold floor towards the sound.“Cassius thank gods I've been-,&rdqu

I scrunched my hand into my hair in frustration. Last night was possibly one of the worst nights I’ve had in a while. My entire body felt like it was on fire and the reminder of Cassius's pissed off look burned into my mind.The bags under my eyes showed the lack of sleep as I stood up on shaky legs and walked towards the bathroom.Maybe a shower would help.I pulled off my night clothes and turned on the water, running my hand under the pellets of water to heck the temperature. Once it was right, I walked into the shower and began washing off everything of last night.After I was finished, I hopped out while wrapping the towel tightly around me and strode into the room. The air instantly dropped ten degrees as the cool air hit my bare legs and arms, I made my way to the closet and rummaged through until I found something I could train in today.A knock on the door had me throwing the clothes on, and after I was decent, I shouted towards the

Raven’s POVThe plates full of food rested on the ottoman in between both chairs. Rhyland sat across from me, cutting up a steak as a full on laugh left his chest. The low rumble spreading throughout the room.“And the crazy part is that we never saw that guard again.”I chucked and picked up my silverware.“I’d have to say I wouldn’t want to show up either if they caught me trying on the Queen’s ball gowns.” I looked over at him to find his violet eyes already on me.Silence engulfed the room for a slight second before he picked up an entirely different subject.“How do you and Elijah know one another?” My eyebrow rose at his words as he cleared his throat and fidgeted in his seat.I debated on how I should answer, seeing as I can’t quite remember how I know him.“Well, it’s complicated actually. He’s an old friend from my homeland.” I put simply and smiled with satisfaction at my reply.“And where is your homeland?”

The sleep filled night I was anticipating for escaped me altogether. I sat awake on my bed, clasping the pillow into me as I looked out of the balcony doors.The morning sun was rising, vivid crimson and orange rays passed through my room and danced across my bedsheets.The maid had showed up and informed me that the Prince requested my presence on the training grounds, but I had ignored the request.For the past hour, I was contemplating on how I was supposed to get close to the Prince and finish the plan when Jasmine sat in the way. If it were all about the plan, I would've gotten out of bed and went to train with the prince himself. I would've taken that opportunity to get to know him a bit more. But was it all about the plan?That… That was an excellent question. A question that I wasn’t sure I wanted to know the answer to. Last night when he came so close to kissing me I didn’t expect myself to want him to, I expected myself to coil

Rhyland’s POVBefore I could utter another word, Raven was pressing past me, headed straight for the door.“Raven, w-,” I reached my hand out to catch her wrist, but as soon as my palm brushed her skin I jerked backward. Her skin was blistering to the touch. I knew in my gut that her reaction to this wasn't just about Eladia. Eladia may have been a breaking point, but she wasn't the entire reason.She whirled her head around and a shimmer of silvery blue rimmed around her almost black colored eyes. My heart stuttered for a slender moment, but I tried to calm myself.Without uttering a word she turned back towards the hallway and made her way down it. Both Eladia and me followed quickly behind her.“Raven please it’s not that big of a deal, it was my fault really I-,”A hard gust of wind that flew past her face silenced her, taking her breath for a quick moment.Raven’s steps didn’t falter and the sheer confidence that radiat

Rhyland’s POV“What the hell, Raven?!”Her eyes snapped up to Cassius and for a split second, she looked completely lost.“I-, wait… How did I end up out here?” Her eyes fogged over with confusion before bolting open wide as a sharp intake of air entered her lungs.“Eladia! Wait, where’s Eladia?!” She shouted, looking around frantically. I took a small stepped towards her, but before I reached her, Cassius stepped in front of me and stopped me in my tracks. He look towards me with a tense jaw.“You’ve done enough. I think you should go.” His eyes were hardened when he looked at me and I could see pure hatred, for what reason I had no clue. He should be thanking me for stopping his sister before things really got out of hand.“Raven, how are you feeling?” I asked, and she just rubbed her temples while wincing.“I- I don’t feel right…” she said groggily, and that’s when Jasmine’s cries and shouts cut through th

Raven’s POVGroggily, I flipped around in bed, still not satisfied with the amount of sleep I had gotten. My body was achy and the need for a few more minutes of shut-eye was overpowering.“Want breakfast?”I nearly jumped out of bed completely at the sound of Cassius’ voice. The memory of him sleeping in my floor last night fogged over, and I had forgotten about it.Rubbing my eye with the back of my hand, I groaned.“That sounds amazing. I probably wouldn’t even use silverware I’m so hungry.” I murmured and at that same moment, my stomach made a rumbling noise that echoed through the big room. He barked a laugh as he came up to me and ruffled my already messy hair.“You got it, I’ll be back in a few.”With those words, he slipped out of the room quietly and shut the door behind him. I took the time to pull my weak body out of bed despite my shaky limbs, to the bathroom for a quick shower and to brush my teeth.The water ru

Rhyland’s POVI stood in front of my father, the golden crown slightly tilted on his head as his full gray hair lifted it.“You think you’re smart, boy?” He growled and by the way, his eyes glossed and his cheeks burned red I could tell he had been drinking.“You’re drunk father, and I will not stand around and talk to a man that can’t even sit up straight.”“Shut it!” He growled, his voice booming through the room.I’ll admit, he had quite the nerve to yell at me in this state of mind.“What is it that you wish from me, or was my presence just for mere amusement.” I evened out and looked into his cold eyes that held the color of the ocean's depth in them."You, the only mind manipulater within millions of miles from this kingdom, thought I wouldn’t be able to tell from the gleam in Princess Jasmine’s eyes that you had a part in her

RavenTwo months later...."Cassius! More ships are entering the docks!" A guard that had taken a spot by my side called out to my brother, also my right hand man. Fate had a twisted sense of humor seeing as I never dreamed of a crown and Cassius was the first born, the one that was destined for it.I knew he didn't mind me being in power and he actually thrived within it. Unlike other kings from territories surrounding us, his masculinity was still intacted. Once Zanatra had it's homes rebuilt to the best poential and people started flocking for sactuary here, I had no choice but to reach out. The best option was to find an ally and I couldn't do that when every male within the kingdom over had his head so far up his own ass."Are you alright?" The firm voice behind me spoke and a smile involuntarily crept onto my lips.Rhyland.I stood and turned towards him, my arms slipped around his nec

Raven’s POVAs we walked to the docks I instantly spotted the enormous ship posted to them with a group of people standing on them.“Trouble?” Rhyland asked and I noticed his entire demeanor change, he tensed his body up preparing for the worst.I took a moment to look at their faces. In that moment I could only spot worry and dispair on all of their faces, nothing more.“No.. I don’t think so.” I admitted and as soon as we stepped onto the dock with them they all seemed to cowar back, the child even hid behind his mother’s leg.“We do no pose a threat, we are only seeking help from the Queen.” The eldest man was the first to speak and I stepped forward, my brows furrowed at the weariness.“That is me, what is it that you seek?” I questioned and the mother gently began pulling the child from behind her l

Raven’s POVI didn’t remember falling asleep, but I do recall the events that led up to my exhausted state.A small smile reached my eyes when I felt the warmth of Rhyland’s body heated my entire back and the weight of his arm around me was enough to make me feel secure.“Good morning sweetheart, did you sleep okay?” His rustled voice asked from behind me and I turned in his arms to face him.“That was the best sleep I’ve had in a while.” I admitted and my eyes fell to the foot of the bed where the large window was placed. The sun was rising above the sea and the bright orange beams shined directly in on us.“This is beautiful..” I mumble and I felt his thumb come up and brush against my side.“Very..” He answ

Rhyland’s POVI could hear rough footsteps coming up the stairs, not the ones you’d want to hear. The type of footsteps that let you know you were in a heap of trouble. My eyes cast over to the hallway, seeing as my door was already opened and a fuming Cassius came into view.“I knew it! I knew you were in it for your fucking self!” I kept my face from showing any emotion, knowing good and well I should’ve known Raven would run to her older brother with this information.He walked right up to me and stood directly in my face, his eyes held so much fury and I could definitely feel heat rolling off of him. So that is his element I’m guessing?“I knew your sister would run to you, but did she tell you everything I said? Or just the parts she thought you’d want to hear?” At this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he slightly shook his head while his confusio
