Chapter Nineteen
Raven's POV
“Of course, it’ll take some convincing of the King, but I’d like to take the two of you back with me for only a short while and bring you back to your homeland. That’s if the two of you are up to it.”
Her bright smile was so genuine, yet it made my stomach drop to the floor with anxiety.Go back to Zanatra?
My eyes were wide, and I went to open my mouth, but Cassius quickly cut me off.
“That would be amazing! But why would we have to convince the king of anything?” His voice couldn’t hide his pure excitement, and for a moment, I felt happy for him. But the thought of the blood that was shed on those lands many years ago still stuck to me.
“Because no commoner has ever left his territory before, they’ve entered, but never exited.” I knew by the scowl on Cassius’ face who the voic

Raven’s POVThe sun had set, and I took comfort on my bed after a warm shower. I leaned back onto the pillows in thought, but something told me I shouldn’t worry too much about it.I just can’t help it.What if everything I’ve imagined in my head is what I’ll come to discover?Bright colors, people laughing and making their way down the streets.But... what if it isn’t?My stomach was in knots and I still did not know when she wanted to go. It could be next week or two months from now, I hadn’t really stayed for the details because I wanted to find Rhyland.I wanted to ask if his father had declined the request like I had assumed he would, like I hoped he would.He didn’t.But for some reason, the words coming from Rhyland’s mouth made the reality of it less scary…“Knock knock, little sis.” Cassius shouted through the door as he kno

Raven’s POVI rested there staring at my suitcase, the clothes that were provided from the royal’s loaded inside. Cassius stood across my room chatting it up with Elijah and I had to admit, this was the happiest I’ve seen him in forever.“What about our old spot? I wonder if it’s still standing!” Elijah exploded and Cassius carried the conversation on by agreeing and hoping it was.The door to my room creaked open to an astonishing Queen Fara. Her clothing choice had consisted of a loose golden dress that flowed out around her feet, complementing her dirty blonde hair.“Are you all ready?”I looked around the room and noticed one person was missing.Rhyland.“Uh- the Prince isn’t here yet.”She smiled over at me and nodded gently.&
Freed Chapter Twenty-Two
Rhyland’s POVThe cool breeze blew past us as we entered into the abandoned castle, Queen Fara was right when she said the building had not been touched during the war.Which was strikingly odd…If you had gone to war with someone, the first thing you’d do would be to destroy their home. Make it impossible for them to stay hidden, but that didn’t seem to be the case.The white marble floor looked as if it were just waxed with a shiny coat layering the top of it.“Holy hell… This place is in immaculate shape.” I heard Cassius say, and I found my eyes wandering towards Raven. Her dark brown eyes searched the castle, but I don’t think she knew exactly what she was searching for.It was almost like she was lost and looking for a way out.Even from here I could see how this made her uncomfortab

Raven’s POVMy heart pounded loudly against my eardrums, and my stomach was twisted into so many knots that I thought it would never go back to normal.Butterflies fluttered inside my core as he looked down at me, his smirk slowly but surely turned into a frown as he eased me down, unraveling my legs from his waist.He took two steps back away from me and placed his hand over his mouth while he paced back and forth on the floor. His face slowly starting to show panic that I didn’t know the Prince was capable of. As I watched his demeanor completely take a turn, I started to get anxious.“W-what?” I sputtered out, still in shock.His eyes found mine but this time… This time they looked dark, like a storm that had begun to brew.“I… That was a mistake.” He muttered out. His movements stilled as he peered up at m

Rhyland’s POVI watched as Raven left the room to meet with the Queen, leaving Cassius and I alone. His body was less tense than usual to my surprise, usually he was as still as a rock when he or Raven came anywhere near me.“Do you think I’m cretinous?”I looked his way and took a moment to answer him back.“Why? Would it bother you if I did?” I smirked and his eyes hardened as he stared at me. I shrugged at his lack of response and moved to walk out of the room until his hand gripped tightly around my arm.I felt my eyes shift from their ever so light purple to a darker shade.“It would be wise of you to remove that hand if you want to keep it.” I gritted out as I slowly brought my glare up to meet his.“I’ll put this as simple as possible, don’t fuck with her feelings.”&nb
Freed Chapter Twenty-Five
Raven’s POVMy eyes widened as I watched Rhyland yank his hand from the water immediately. He looked around at all of us before shaking his head, like he couldn’t believe what had just happened.I don't think any of us could.“How is that possible?” Queen Fara mumbled while stepping towards Rhyland who took a step back from her.“... You… You belong here.” The villager’s shocked tone matched his face. Rhyland’s captivating eyes looked in my direction almost pleadingly.“I-It’s not-,”“It is. The land wouldn’t lie.” I assured him, but he shook his head and stepped out of the water. His expressions seemed so worried, and I couldn’t understand why. But how was that even possible.. When I tried to train him back at his castle he showed no signs of weilding another ele

Prince Rhyland’s POVI stood utterly still, staring down at her fuming gaze.This was it. I’m going to die.“Rhyland. What did you mean?” She gritted through her teeth as she took a step towards me. I automatically took a step backward, I’m never one to back done from a challenge but in this case, I’d lick the ground to get out of this situation.“I- well, you see-,”“Cut the bullshit and tell me.” She said nonchalantly but her eyes said another thing.I looked around anywhere else but directly down at her. Those deep brown eyes would kill me right now if they could.Hell, when she finds out she will want to kill me.“My father set this up. He wanted me to earn your trust any way possible.” I said and my eyes flew to her as her head dropped to the ground.I moved forward to touch her face or something. Her silence was deafening.She instantly stepped
Freed Chapter Twenty- Seven
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
