ANDREWThe huge ballroom of the palace was full of guests, everyone was waiting anxiously for the arrival of the bride, except for the groom, in this case, me. I was visibly distracted, being forced there to marry Artanis after living intensely the last few weeks beside Noah, being here is torturous for me.Everything we've experienced, the consummation of our love, the giving of souls, as well as confessing that I want to marry him, was something that would leave anyone without any motivation. Right now I'm miraculously wishing that something would happen during this damned ceremony, that Artanis had run away or that someone would arrive to rescue her, and if either of those possibilities happened, I would be the most accomplished man in this Realm. I am taken out of my thoughts when the wedding march begins to sound through the Palace, announcing that the bride is coming, everyone stands up to see her, she is wearing a beautiful white dress with lots of lace and a huge lace skirt,

Noah— That's what you heard, Noah is the son of King Moriam and Queen Sattir. He is heir to the throne, and King Alexander knows he is alive and has been trying to end his life ever since!— Why don't we go? Those men are in the neighboring village, destroying everything and...— I can't leave here, your father is still sick, he couldn't bear to go that far! — he says and strokes his hair. — You need to protect Noah, do as I ask!— Mom, but... — he tries to finish his sentence, but is overcome by tears.— Son, I promise I'll come to meet you, okay? Now go, before they get here!He hugs her tightly, she pushes him away a little, caresses her face, and speaks again.— Remember, don't tell Noah this story, or anyone else but me and you, only Duric and Wizard Killian know about him, it's a matter of safety, and when the time is right, he will know the truth, understand?The bright light reappears, and I am no longer in our old house. I meet Balck's startled gaze.— Noah, Noah, are you

ANDREWSince I laid eyes on Noah my wolf has identified something important in him, but I never imagined he could be someone so important in my life, and the strange feelings that formed in my mind about what he intends to tell me is making me terribly worried. .— I think you better sit down, the story I have to tell is quite long!The expression of seriousness on his face makes me very worried, although I have known him like this, today we are in a different moment, even if my father and all the rules that surround my condition as Prince do not allow it, we are a couple, predestined and in love. Noah looks down, takes both hands, wraps his fingers around them, swallows, and I sense there's something very powerful he wants to say, and he's working up the courage to say it.— Noah, whatever it is you can tell me, I'm here to listen to you!— I know, the problem is that it might sound a little surprising, and I don't know how I should begin to tell you...— From the beginning, it must

NOAHBefore I turn the handle, it turns on its own. I look at Balck, my heart is beating wildly, instinctively holding tight, and the other person says something.— I think they must have locked it, I can't open it!The voice on the other side of the door is high pitched, too irritating, and familiar to my ears. Artanis. The sound of her voice is silenced, we stand there for a few minutes, in silence waiting for some movement, and apparently she seems to have gone away.— I think we can go now! — Balck exclaims. — How did you manage to hold the door? Was it the ring?— I think so, I wouldn't have so much strength to hold the door with just my hand![...]— Wow, it's so dusty in here! — Balck says admiringly.— Of course, since it was isolated, no one else has entered here, other than some magic preventing anyone from entering! — Andrew responds.— How are we going to get out of here? Do you have a plan? — Balck asks.— So, it looks like they still haven't realized that the guards have

NOAHI go downstairs and follow the delicious aroma of coffee that comes out of Veronica's kitchen, who is sitting with a cup in her hand. Next to her in the picture is a boy with the same welcoming smile. He has the same dark skin as Veronica. He turns around the moment I step foot into the kitchen.— Hi, I'm Luke! — he says, standing up and extending his hand towards me. I smile back and try to smile as he smiles back.— Hi Luke, I'm Noah!— He's my son, Noah!— Veronica, have you seen Andrew? I woke up and he was gone...— He left early in the morning, accompanying my husband, in order to find out something about a young man you are looking for...— It's my brother, he was with us...— When did you have an accident? — She asks, but I don't remember saying that, maybe it was Andrew who told that.— Yeah.I answer and sit at the table next to Veronica and Luke, and enjoy the pancakes with strawberry jam. After having my coffee, we go to the living room, just the two of us.— Come on
