Kaile's point of view I paced back and forth in my room, my mind racing with thoughts of Eve. Why did she have to go to Ezra's kingdom? I knew Ezra's reputation - he was charming, persuasive, and always got what he wanted. And what he wanted was often the one thing I couldn't bear to lose: Eve.I stopped pacing and stood in front of the window, staring out at the darkening sky. What if Ezra asked Eve out again? What if she said yes this time? The thought sent a pang of fear through my chest.I tried to push the thoughts away, telling myself I was being irrational. Eve had chosen me, after all. She had rejected Ezra's offer and come back to me. But the doubt lingered, refusing to be silenced.I thought back to the way Ezra had looked at Eve, the way he had smiled at her. It was a smile that said, "I'm going to get what I want, no matter what." And what he wanted was Eve.I felt a surge of anger and protectiveness. I couldn't let Ezra hurt Eve again. I had to make sure she was safe, th

Kalie's point of view I quickly carried Eve out of the castle and to my car, parked nearby. I opened the door and gently placed her in the passenger seat.As I buckled her in, Eve suddenly started to squirm and struggle, her hands grasping at her dress. "I'm so hot," she whispered, her voice husky and desperate. "I need to get out of this."Before I could stop her, Eve started to remove her dress, pulling it down over her shoulders and exposing her bare skin. I felt a surge of desire mixed with concern, and I quickly reached out to cover her."Eve, stop," I said firmly, trying to keep my eyes off her bare skin. "You can't just...we need to get you home."But Eve just kept repeating, "I'm so hot," over and over, her eyes glassy and unfocused. I knew I had to get her out of there, and fast, before things got any worse. I quickly got into the driver's seat and started the engine, peeling out of the castle grounds as fast as I could.As I drove, Eve continued to squirm and struggle in the

Ezra's point of view I glared at my reflection in the mirror, my eyes blazing with anger. My face was a mess of bruises and cuts, courtesy of Kalie's fierce beating.I clenched my jaw, my hands shaking with rage as I cleaned the wounds. How dare he? I was the future king, and he had the audacity to attack me like that?But what really fueled my anger was the fact that Kalie had ruined my plans. Eve was supposed to be under my control by now, but thanks to Kalie's interference, she was now safely back in her hut.I seethed with frustration, my mind racing with ways to get back at Kalie. He thought he had won, but little did he know, I had only just begun to play.A knock at the door broke my reverie, and I turned to see Lydia standing in the entrance. Her eyes widened as she took in my battered face."My lord," she gasped. "What happened?"I waved my hand dismissively. "It's nothing," I growled. "Just a minor setback."Lydia's eyes sparkled with curiosity, but she knew better than to

Kalie's point of view I sat in my study, staring blankly at the papers in front of me. My mind was a thousand miles away, consumed by thoughts of Eve.I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside me since Eve returned from Ezra's kingdom. I had seen the way Ezra looked at her, the way he smiled at her, and it made my blood boil.I didn't want to lose Eve. I didn't want her to be taken away from me by Ezra or anyone else. But I was scared to admit my true feelings to her. What if she didn't feel the same way?I sighed, rubbing my temples. I had to face the truth. I was in love with Eve. I had been for a long time, but I had been too afraid to admit it.The thought sent a shiver down my spine. What would happen if Eve found out? Would she feel the same way, or would she reject me?I looked up, my eyes falling on a small, leather-bound book on my shelf. It was a book of poetry, one that Eve had given me a long time ago. I opened it, flipping through the pages

stood at the window, staring out into the darkness, my mind racing with thoughts of the dream and the black dagger. I knew I had to tell Ezra about it, but a part of me hesitated. Should I tell Kaile too?I shook my head, pushing the thought aside. It was late, and I was too tired to think clearly. I would decide what to do in the morning.I walked over to the washbasin and splashed some cold water on my face, trying to clear my head. The cool water was refreshing, and I felt a little more alert.I dried my face and walked back to bed, my mind still whirling with thoughts of the dream and the black dagger. I climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to my chin, trying to shut out the thoughts and get some rest.But as I lay there, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. The dream had felt so real, and the image of the black dagger kept flashing in my mind.I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to will myself to sleep. But my mind was still racing, and I knew it was goi
