Minerva Cole:- (Few hours earlier before Easton finds out about MInerva fainiting) " Jordan, will you please wait here while I go and try on few of these dresses and find the perfect one to wear?" I ask Jordan. " Ok, your highness. I will wait right here. Take your time. If anything happens or you feel like something is off just call my name and I will be here in a flash." Jordan replied with a polite smile. Somehow Hordan and I were getting along because this man can be scary and rude sometime but he has got a heart of gold and he is one loyal guard to Easton and I kind of love it that how protective he is for his master. " Thank you, Jordan. But, I don't think so there will be any problem inside the trial room. By the way, what is the occassion for giving me a makeover and hairdo?" I ask " I know it's mybirthday but I don't think so it is just because of my birthday because no one will d this much fr me on my birthday. My birthday has always been dull or maybe because I never had

As soon as I entered the store, I found my mate lying on the soft cushioned couch with her eyes closed looking pretty in her pink dress and her hair opened up in curls. The tears began to form in my eyes which I quickly wiped away because a king never cries but this queen is making this king weak and I can’t show my weakness to anyone or they will use it against me.I smiled as I saw my mate wearing the same dress that I imagined her into. The baby pink one. This color enhances her beauty more than ever. I get down on my knees in front of her and rubbed my thumb against her soft left cheek and took her hand in mine to caress.“Mi Reina, please wake up. Don’t you want to show me and celebrate your eighteenth birthday?” I asked Minerva “Please, wake up and tell me what happened to you and I will make everything right for you. I give you my word that whoever did this will pay. Please, you just wake up for me.“What.happened.to.her?” I demanded everyone available in the store with gritted

Minerva:- I looked at the shdown standing in front of me with pure shock as my body trembled in fear when he took the shape of Easton but what got me more scared and confused was when he told Easton the story about me being the mistress of the shadows while parents died. NO, this can't be true.I must be dreaming. My dad raised me and my mother died a longtime ago. I am just an ordinary girl. Not some mistress or the queen to these shadows and what does he mean by mating with the vampire? No, no way in hell. "I don't understand what is happening over here. I am freaking out." I shout when Easton was by my side instantly and huggedmy tightly to him and began to comfort me. " Hey, just take a deep breath. Everything is going to be just fine. Don't panic okay! I am over here with you. I will explain you everything just take a deep breath and focus on me and nothing else. You don't need to be scared or worried about anything when you have got me and I am never going to leave you alone. I

Minerva Cole:- " Easton, why didn't you tell me that you threw a party for me and why? I am just your slave then why do all this?" I ask Easton as I looked aorund at the beautifully decorated party thrown for me in his mindblowing palace. " Hey, you are not to use the word slave again. I was rude to you in the beginning on purpose because I needed to keep you by my side and if I had been soft on you then there is no way you would have been scared and lived with me. You would have ran away." he replied " I knew you were my mate but you didn't and the only way to tell you about that was through this. It's your eighteenth birthday and many surprises will be revealed to you." " You could have toldme about this earlier. I would have believed you." I said and he looked at me with a raised brow making me chuckle and roll my eyes in agreement " Okay, I wouldn't have believed on you. So, is it really true that you are my mate?" I ask. " Yes," he replied " There is no dout about it. I have

Minerva Cole:-" So, Colton. Tell me how did my parents really die and why was I sent between the humans when you shadows could have taken care of me?" I ask." Mistress, we would have if we were capable of doing that like humans. Your parents were half human and half shadows just like you are but their half energy was capable of burning all the dimensions because they held a magical element that they found lost in the forest somewhere. That element gave them the most powerful energy ever. They were the one who saved all of the Shadows trapped in that forest and since they were the one to free us we all decided to make them our leaders. Our King and Queen. We became a happy family." Colton told me and gulped." What happened? Why are you gulping like that and looking scared?" I ask." Because your mate is really busy in planning to kill me in various ways tonight. He is giving me death glares." Colton replied making me laugh." Wasn't it your plan to make him jealous? And, why pretend
