Elaine’s POV Consciousness slowly returned to me and I found myself caught in a disorienting haze, the world around me shrouded in a fog of confusion and uncertainty. It was as though I was suspended in a liminal space, neither fully awake nor entirely asleep, existing in a realm that seemed to defy the boundaries of reality.Amidst the muffled voices and indistinct sounds that echoed in the recesses of my mind, a sense of urgency pulsed through me, propelling me forward with an inexplicable sense of purpose. It was as though someone—or something—was urging me onward, their desperate cries for help echoing in the chambers of my consciousness. I can't tell who that was but my mind is screaming the name beneath my chest. So weird. That organ never works.With each passing moment, the urgency intensified, the distant cries growing louder and more insistent until they seemed to reverberate within the very core of my being. And then, as suddenly as they had begun, the voices fell silent,

Third Person POV The next morning, Leah's lips curled into a wicked smile as she surveyed the kingdom from her balcony. The sun cast its golden rays across the landscape, illuminating the lush greenery that surrounded the palace grounds.With a satisfied smirk, Leah recalled the events of the previous night, the careful orchestration of Elaine's demise, the hasty administration of the poison that would soon claim her life. It was a plan days in the making, fueled by jealousy and resentment, and now, at last, it was nearing its fruition.She gazed out at the kingdom below, Leah's heart thrummed with anticipation. Soon, she knew, word would spread of Elaine's untimely demise, and the palace would be thrown into chaos. Not exactly chaos since no one wants her anyway. Not even her family. With Elaine out of the way, there would be nothing standing between Leah and her ascension to the throne—not even Killian, whose absence in recent days had not gone unnoticed. She is the real queen aft

Killian’s POV I made my way back to the infirmary, the weight of responsibility heavy upon my shoulders, I found myself face to face with Leah. I haven’t seen her in days. Truthfully? I almost forgot about her existence in the past few days I had left. Her tear-stained cheeks and trembling lip spoke volumes, her distress palpable even from a distance. As I approached, her eyes met mine, and a torrent of emotion threatened to overwhelm us both."Leah," I began, my voice soft yet tinged with the gravity of our situation. "What's wrong? Why are you here?"Her response was immediate, her words choked with sorrow as she struggled to compose herself. "Killian," she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's Elaine...she's...she's dead."I gave her a deadpanned look knowing she wouldn’t just cry because Elaine is dead. I mean, she hated her, didn’t she? Almost killed her with slaps the day we were supposed to be engaged. So what is this? “Yeah I know?" I echoed, my mind reeling as

Elaine’s POV I stood before her, my mind reeling from the revelation of her true identity, I felt a strange sense of detachment wash over me, as if I were observing myself from a distance. With each step I took, I felt myself being drawn inexorably towards her, my movements guided by a force beyond my comprehension.As we walked, the world around us seemed to blur and shift, morphing into a landscape unlike anything I had ever seen before. Vibrant colors danced before my eyes, swirling and twirling in a mesmerizing display of ethereal beauty.The moon goddess led me through her realm with an air of quiet authority, her presence a comforting anchor in the midst of the surreal landscape that surrounded us. She showed me places of wonder and mystery, each one more breathtaking than the last, as she unveiled the secrets of her world.I gazed in awe at the majestic temples and palaces that dotted the landscape, their towering spires reaching towards the heavens in silent tribute to the po

Elaine’s POV I rushed to the infirmary, my heart pounding wildly in my chest. The news that Elaine was in a coma rather than dead had thrown me into a whirlpool of confusion and shock. How could she possibly have survived? The poison used was potent enough to kill a human instantly. It didn't make any sense. I don’t want Elaine dead –she is going to be the only mate given to me by Moon Goddess even though we are not going to be mated– but this is shocking. I pushed through the doors of the infirmary, the sterile smell of antiseptic assaulted my senses. My eyes darted around the room until I spotted Elaine lying on a bed, her face pale and motionless. Doctors and nurses bustled around her, their expressions a mix of disbelief and professional focus. They all hover around trying to find what is going on around but also looking very shocked too. I approached her bed, the beeping of the machines and the murmur of medical staff filling the air. My mind raced with questions. Was she ne
