IANNA’S POVBeing in the palace was way better than being at home or being in the woods as a rogue. There I had a roof over my head and food in my belly. I was also not bullied and beaten like I was back home.I was also not hunted by others like I was back in the woods when I was a rogue. But training was extremely hard. Damon pushed me hard and every night my body ached. Aegen avoided the training grounds when our group was training which I felt was good.But in the last week the man was there everyday during our training. He would pair us up with his warriors to train and they would whoop our asses. I think he secretly liked seeing us beaten like that.Another thing that has been happening in this week were the dreams. I kept dreaming about a woman whose face I could not see. She kept telling me to train harder and that war was upon us.Then I would dream of a man, I did not know him, but I felt safe with him. He kept apologizing to me and I do not know why. I kept telling him that

AEGEN’S POVDamon was right, we were fucked. If the one who heard us was one of us who was loyal to my father and Adolph, then Ianna’s secret was going to be revealed and they were going to try and kill her.If he was loyal to us, then he would not have run when we chased him. He would have apologized, and I would have instructed him not to breathe a word of what he heard to anyone.But if the one who heard us belonged to the fairy king. Then I was even more afraid because they would do either one of two things. Tell my father and Adolph about her or kill her themselves.Either way, we were fucked. “Prince Aegen came to give us some pointers?” asked the head warrior. “No, you all are doing just fine, I am currently busy with Damon’s warriors, now they need me.” He laughed and so did Damon.I could only master a chuckle; I was nervous as hell, and I was sure he could tell as well. “We will be on our way now.” I said, leading the way out with Damon following behind.“What are we going t

AEGEN’S POVMy blood ran cold when I saw Adolph standing there, I wondered how long he stood there for and how much he heard from our conversation. I wondered if he saw us or not. “Stop being a creep little brother and come inside.”A plan formed in my head and I had no choice but to share it with my brother and see if he would take the bait. Him being there might have been what we needed to turn the tables in our favor.But that was going to depend on whether he saw us or not. I went to open the door and he came in. He gave us a suspicious look. “How much did you hear?” he raised an eyebrow. I needed to play it cool.Adolph was suspicious by nature, and he was a master of manipulation. I needed to be smarter than he was. “Why, afraid I heard your secret?” I pretended to be irritated but in fact, I was scared out of my mind.“This is no time for games Adolph, I want to know how much you heard so that I can know where to start explaining. I need you on this for it to work brother.” I g

The Fairy PrincessI drew close to the training ground eager to see who they were talking about. “Helen, the prince told you yesterday that what happens in my group is none of your business. Don’t make me pull rank to get you to stop or punish you.” The man said.The woman didn’t look like she wanted to stop but I did not see who the one who didn’t want to shift was. I also wanted to understand why the trainer was protecting her.“Do warriors in this palace choose how and when to train?” the moron besides me shrugged. “I know nothing about that, warriors and training is my brother’s department.” I knew he was just a moron.Two warriors got into the center and started training. One in wolf form while the other was in human form. I drew even closer and went to stand next to the one who was arguing with the trainer.“Tell me, why do you argue with your trainer instead of listening to him?” I asked her. She turned to me then bowed her head when she noticed her prince next to me.“I meant

IANNA’S POVI frowned confused, who could be this important person who might help us and why were we meeting him in the woods? Those were the questions I had when Aegen told me that.“To get there from here, you have to go behind the palace then head to the woods from there, I will be waiting, and we can go there together.” He told me.“Who are we meeting?” there was silence on the other end. “The palace witch.” My blood ran cold, and my knees grew weak when I heard that.After I got over that anger rose from the pit of my stomach. I didn’t want to see the witch. Why would i? the woman made my life a living hell without even knowing me.Her prophecy made my already horrible life even worse back home and now she was supposed to help me? I didn’t believe that. “I don’t want to meet her; you can meet her alone if you want.”Aegen didn’t know how everyone got to call me a curse and plague in my old pack. He only knows that they called me that. “Why don’t you want to meet her? You don’t ha
