King Ciro and Queen Rhapsody were already present in the meeting room when we entered along with Vladimir.
DimitriThe sky darkened.
Nikolai"I demand retribution." I announced as I strode in the Throne Room.
Nikolai"Have some time?" Javier asked me before we were about to sit for breakfast. Our flight was on standby and we were leaving in two hours.
NikolaiI tried to wake up Avalyn early in the morning at my normal time. Key word—tried, because it's not easy at all. Ava loves to sleep.
Avalyn'You are needed in the Throne Room, Avalyn.'Dimitri mind-linked me.
Nikolai"We have the witch you were looking for." Max said as soon as I had picked up the call.
AvalynMy door slammed open and I jumped a little in my chair, startled. I looked up to see Nik. He was breathing hard and his eyes were dark. The thing that scared me was that he looked terrified.
AvalynThe inside of the palace was beautiful. Tall circular beams supporting the high rise ceiling demarcated the main hallway.
Avalyn"You'll be sunburnt. Let me put sunscreen on your back." Nik pulled the strings of my bikini, making it fall open and then rubbed the cream all over my back. I was lying on the beach chair, getting the tan in on my back.
NikolaiI slammed her against the wall and kissed her lips hungrily.
NikolaiWe went back to the palace after that.
Nikolai"Now there is only one thing remaining." Mom announced and then looked at Faelern. "Can you summon Gabriel?"
NikolaiI tasted the salty taste of tears before I felt something soft of my lips. A kiss. A kiss of life.
DimitriThe second Nikolai was shot, chaos erupted. I pulled over the car and jumped out, running towards where the bullet came from.
NikolaiThe second I got off the helicopter, I knew something was wrong. The sky was too dark. And it was colder than what it was supposed to be. And there was a dark aura around here.
AvalynI extended my arm to search for Nikolai and found the mattress cold and empty.
NikolaiMy phone rang and it was a random number. I picked up.
