Rayell POVMy head felt heavy, and I could hear voices, mostly ones I couldn’t recognize, I tried opening my eyes, but it was too heavy, and it felt better to keep them closed, but when I felt hands moving on my body, I immediately opened them, but not wide enough for me to make out who it was, I could only tell by the firm hands that it belonged to a man, and I could tell he was naked, as he kept hovering over me, he was touching my face, my hair, and my breasts, and his hands was everywhere, it felt so strange, this wasn’t Callox touch, Then who was touching me?

Dustin POVI was still in my thoughts trying to figure out what the hell was wrong, and drunk Elijah didn’t seem to be helping much, he wasn’t taking the situation as liberal as it needed to be,“So you’re not going to tell the circle”,“I want to be sure this- the situation is an advantage for me”,“If it’s not?”,“I’ll deal with it, now can you stop being an irritating drunk, and help me figure out what we can do with the body”,“We can eat her”, his suggestion made me want to bawl his eyes out, I truly hated drunk Elijah,“Are you crazy, you know the consequences for that, we don’t eat the humans”,“Yeah yeah, the moon goddess curse and all, I get it, but how do we sneak a dead human out of the palace”,“Firstly we are going to clean all this blood”,“Can’t you have one of your servers do that?”,I gave him a hard stare,“Just get me the cleaning towels and antiseptics”, I ordered, as Elijah dropped the liquor, heading towards my bathroom, I dragged the dead body away from the blo

Dustin POVI walked down the stream of the rivers near the cloven hills, following a very discreet Dave starling, I learned his name from the head of the guard, and also the fact that Dave was the son of the tailor, so that may explain why he recommended the shop to his girlfriend Emily, however, Emily made no mention of it, which was weird, cause if she were to be his girl?, he sure as hell would have told her about his family, the head guard also let me on a secret yesterday, about how Dave never liked to talk about his family, said Dave had practically begged him not to speak to anyone in the palace about it, I found that strange too, and so when I saw him leaving the palace walls today, I decided to follow him, and turns out he lead me to exactly the location Emily said was the tailor shop, I had chosen not to interrogate him yet, as he could always deny my accusations, probably say the clothes got stolen from the tailor shop, If he truly was involved in the blood scene in
