THE ESCAPE

EVANORA'S POV

I must have heard wrong. There was no way in hell my dad actually uttered those words.

I tried to lighten my expression then raised my head to meet my dad and the prince both staring at me like they were expecting a response from me.

I knitted my eyebrows and concentrated my gaze on my dad. "What did you say?"

"Princess Evanora," he said in response. "Were you not listening to me?"

"I got lost for a second," I replied to him. "I think I heard something wrong. What were you saying?"

"We talked about how the vampires in the woods are being a threat."

"Okay?"

"And how we need to keep ourselves safe."

"Okay."

"And in conclusion," he said with a light smile. "How we think it'll be best you get married to prince Andrew. You two should get married."

I blinked continuously and after a while, his words finally sank in.

I didn't hear wrong. It was really happening. My dad was right by my side and telling me to get married to someone whose last name I didn't even know
