Zelda’s POV

As the first rays of dawn crept into the room, I awoke with a heaviness that seemed to permeate every fiber of my being. The weight of the night's emotions still clung to me like a shroud, casting a shadow over me. The period from slumber to being awake was followed by a sense of reluctance, as if part of me longed to remain tied in the comfort of sleep, shielded from the worries of the world.

As I stirred, the feeling of heaviness persisted—an invisible anchor that seemed to push me to the bed. The act of pushing aside the covers and rising from the bed required an effort, as if I were lifting the weight of my emotions along with my body.

I sluggishly stood up and moved to the window, pulling the curtain aside. The air felt still, almost as if it couldn't let out it's breath. I sighed as I got ready to wash up.

I stepped into the bathroom, bracing myself as the cool water splashed onto my face. I looked up at the mirror and saw the reflection of a determined, resilient

I shook my head vigorously as if the image of the man I was missing could be removed by doing so.I had missed him too much that I see him everywhere.I consoled myself with the fact that his presence keeps me company. But I wanted to do something too. I wanted to meet with Alaric. What happened the last time was still puzzling and I wonder if he would still have the mind to kill me again.

The atmosphere held a lingering tension as he stared at me with no hesitation.

I would’ve doubted Ajax if this had to do with Zelda, as he will do anything to have her, but that’s not the case with the throne. Aiden and I sat there in silence as we couldn’t find the right word to say currently, I finally cleared my throat to break the silence,“Although I don’t know who is behind whatever is going on within the council, I can sure you that Ajax will never do anything like that,” I said, trying hard to convince Aiden to get rid of that thought.“Then who else is there to suspect, who will go to the extent of poisoning the minds of the nobles?” He asked desperately as if begging me for answers.“We might not know who is it, but his intentions are crystal clear, he doesn’t want any of us to sit on that throne.” “We are going to find whoever is pulling the strings together,” I said as I pat his back gently.I walked out of Aiden’s room with a heavy heart and so many ques

Before I could say anything else, he pushed me inside the room and pushed me to the bed. He suddenly looked like a beast ready to devour me whole, and that excites me. He pulled down his trousers and I looked in between his legs with my eyes open, but I instantly pulled myself together. “You want me now after how badly you have treated me?” I said while sitting up, as I tried hard to stop myself from jumping on him that instant.“You don’t want me?” He asked seductively, and I smiled mischievously.I gestured for him to join me in bed, and he looked at me for a while before

I met a guard on my way, and he handed me a letter that was meant for the princes. “There is a letter for you three,” I informed them as I sat beside Zelda. I handed it over to Alaric and he opened it. “What does it say?” I asked him, but he didn’t say a word and just handed the letter back to me. I cleared my throat after reading it. “Well, it seems like the king left his son one last gift.” I declared. “What do you mean?” Ajax asked. “A solution to the bizarre situation of sharing a mate.

I saw Alaric approaching me and a part of me wanted to walk away again, but I remained still. “I’m sorry, Ajax.” He said softly.“For what?” I snapped at him. “For everything.” He whispered. “No, Alaric. You are saying the wrong words. What I want from you is an explanation of what I just witnessed.” I replied angrily as I tried hard to stop myself from punching him.“I love Zelda.” He confessed. I was dumbfounded by his words.“Since when?” I questioned further. “From the very beginning.” He said gently. “You are nothing but a hypocrite.” I scoffed.
