Audrey's POV.I didn't want to know who this man was, but I just knew that he was definitely someone dangerous and someone I needed to flee from.My heart thumped furiously against my chest, fear making my blood run cold as I stood with my hands trembling against the table in front of me, trying to make sure that he didn't notice how scared I was. It wasn't like I could let him know how weak I am, he could attack me easily."Who are you?" I asked after summoning the courage."You don't get to ask questions, you'll just follow me." He smirked.I took a sharp breath and closed my eyes for a second, I imagined throwing him across the room.To my biggest surprise he crashed on the cupboard wincing in pain, I gasped in shock wondering how I did that.I then realized that it had been me doing that all along. I used my power when I was in the king's room, but I didn't understand where this power came from."What are you? What do you want from me?" I demanded.He stood, looking at me angrily
-Kaden POV-"That bastard!" The words pushed its way out of my gritting teeth as I pranced restlessly from one end of the room to another. I tightened my fist, making my veins pop out in a way that it accentuated my arms. My knuckles were reddish and sore from all the suffering I had inflicted on the walls due to the sizzling rage coursing through my veins, but I didn't stop, didn’t want to."You should go meet him in the dungeon instead of fighting with the wall. It will yield no result," a voice said from beside me and without thinking much about who it was, I already knew it was Adler. I simply let the hot air out of my nostrils and surrendered with my hands raised high; "You are right, I’ll just have to go now." I said.He walked up to me, tapped lightly on my shoulder and then began prancing about the room too, making it quite obvious that he was just as restless as I was about the whole issue. "You know what to do," he whispered into my ears."I know what to do, Adler," I r
-Audrey POV-It was hard work bringing myself together. The hairs on my body stood up, waiting for the outcome of whatever Kaden had gone to do.I instinctively wrapped my hands around my neck and winced when I felt like I was reliving the moment that hideous man had wrapped his hands around my neck.I shuddered. The room was stuffy; even though the windows were open, it still felt like I was being choked up.I was about to commence prancing about the room when I suddenly heard the door click open and king Kaden trudged in tiredly into the room. My heart immediately sank when I took notice of the grim expression on his face and I couldn’t help but think that there was something probably bugging him.“Hey.” I said softly, and as soon as he heard me speak, he looked up and flashed me a small smile.“Hi.”I wasn’t interested in spiking a conversation especially when it was quite obvious that there was someone after my life and so I decided to quickly rush out; "Were you able to find o
-Audrey POV-It all felt strange, and even I felt strange in a way too. I was standing in a wide field under the twinkling stars but I had no recollection whatsoever of how I had gotten here in the first place.The crescent moon which stood like a morning soul was dripping a scarlet colored liquid from its side, and when I checked I was surprised to find out that it was blood. It was covered with blood and I was standing right underneath it with no one in sight. There were swords lying on the floor, dry skulls were scattered at every corner, and the foul smell of rot filled the air. The entire scenery made me shudder violently. I had never seen a sight as gory as this. Instinctively, I gripped the hem of my clothing as I observed my surroundings and called out the only name I could think of at the moment;"Kaden," I tried voicing out but it was as if the word didn't pass through my mouth; I felt suffocated and my throat was clogged up."Audrey…" I heard a scream from a distance fol
-Kaden's POV-I felt really bad looking at Audrey laying on the bed. I knew that it was all my fault but I couldn’t bring myself to say that. It's been more than three hours since she became calm but also the amount of time she has been like this...unmoving.My hands burned with a raw warmth when I adjusted her red hair and smiled to myself when she flinched at my touch. To my utter surprise, her puppy blues eyes flickered open slowly and she sneezed."Sorry. You will be fine," I said, rubbing her hand. She gave me a weak smile and I smiled back."Where am I?" she suddenly jolted up as if something had come over her, but before I could react to her sudden alertness, she quickly threw her legs to the side and sat up on the bed. I noticed how she stared intently at the doctor who was trying to prescribe some drugs for her and couldn’t help but wonder what she must be thinking right now. "You passed out some hours ago and I called a doctor," I tried explaining to her but it seemed s
-Audrey's POV-As soon as my eyes fluttered open, the first thing I could remember was seeing Shantel wearing a devilish smile on her face and staring at me from across the hallway.It gave me the creeps to think that she could do anything and I couldn’t help but think about what she might want again this time. I have been bothered about her, and also been bothered about myself too; and also couldn’t shake out the strangeness I felt thinking about all these. I wriggled my body oddly while still lying atop the bed and couldn’t help but notice how strangely energized I was.I remember feeling extremely weak only a few hours ago, but right now I could feel an odd power sizzling through my veins in very high currents, it almost seemed as though it was about to envelop me.With only thoughts of continuing my training session with Adler, I jumped off the bed, wrapped the flimsy hospital dress around my body and decided to go look for Adler.I needed to harness the strange strength, and m
-Audrey POV-Adler did all he could to stop me from getting back into a fight with Shantel and it worked and I was forced to walk out on both him and Shantel whilst fuming with anger.If he hadn’t gotten himself involved in the fight, I was sure I would have dealt with her and probably would’ve been forced to use that sword on her.I still couldn’t believe that she had tried to raise that wan at me, intending to kill me and the thoughts of it was enough to fuel the rage already coursing through my body. I knew I needed to put her in her place regardless of whatever rank she previously held in this palace. Her presence and audacity infuriated me to no end and I couldn’t wait to put her in her place.Adler left me for Shantel and from where I was, I could hear the loud screams and cursings from them. Still fuming with anger, I threw one last disgusted look at Shantel and stormed away from them whilst cursing under my breath. I wasn’t quite sure of where I was headed but found mys
-Audrey POV-"I'm pregnant, King Kaden," Shantel’s words kept ringing over and over in my ears as I held onto my chest tight as if in a bid to rein in the sudden pain I could feel there. How could she be pregnant for him? This cannot be true! In my baffled state, I turned to look over at Kaden who also bore a shocked expression that showed that he was not also expecting a news as huge as this… especially not from Shantel.I could hear his incessant pacing behind me and his low grunts as he walked around but also didn’t miss the cocky smile Shantel had on her face as she looked between the both of us.To my utter dismay, Kaden didn't say anything to disprove it; he didn't even utter a word and it felt as though I was left alone to battle with this heartbreak on my own."Liar! You lie! Shantel. Do you think I do not know what you are trying to do?" I forced out these words from my mouth but she only laughed at me.Her cockiness, and the smug way she stared at me all pulled me to the c
