The moment Evie felt her bodice loosen up, a soft knock echoed behind the door, causing them both to freeze up and suddenly become motionless. "Your Highness, everyone's been gathered and are waiting for you now." The voice on the other side of the door called out and Gavriel groaned under his breath. Evie on the other hand was quick to turn around and had her back facing him. She gathered her long silvery locks to her front and looked back expectantly at him, arching a perfectly formed brow. "Please…-

Evie's eyes widened as her face immediately flushed a deep red. The intense glimmer in his bright eyes made her feel that familiar feeling Gavriel always evoke inside of her. It was as though her body was melting like butter on a hot pan before his scorching gaze and she was rendered utterly helpless. Blushing hard, Evie swallowed and forced herself to look away from his hypnotizing eyes. "I really am fine, Gavriel. If… if I am hurt, you'd immediately know right? I mean, you'd be able to smell my…

All the stress and tension that Gavriel had been keeping so tightly constrained inside him was released through a violent shudder as he crushed her hard against him with that one hug. Deep groans and curses escaped from his lips as his shaking fingers slid from her back into her glorious silvery locks. His large palm curved over her skull and then dragged her head back before his mouth moved feverishly over her face, planting hot little kisses wherever it landed. "Damn it all to hell, Evie. Gods," he…

Suddenly, the world seemed to become eerily silent as everyone looked around to seek for the source of that ominous voice that reeked of nothing but danger and authority. Even more than that, they were curious at who was it that could so easily shout out and threaten them with the life of their emperor itself. Everyone froze in shock except for Evie who had felt the hideous tension in her body immediately disappear. How? How could it be that he was already back? And the more curious thing was that he…

Those massive arrows levelled at them just confirmed the fact that orders had already gone out demanding for their lives. It was a take-no-hostage situation at this point, and Evie realised how dismal their prospects for escape were. At that moment, Evie's already pale complexion became even paler, as if all the blood from her was drained all at once. Was this the end for the both of them? She felt as though her heart was now in her throat as dread gripped her entire being. The sight of the top walls…

Leon landed lightly on the courtyard with Evie carefully held in his arms. A group of the imperial army who were already stationed and ready on the ground came at them at the instant they landed, and Leon was forced to fight their way out. He had to exert more care and caution so as to ensure that while fighting, he was also protecting Evie from getting injured. Their situation was getting more and more impossible since Leon could not even fight to his best capabilities not only because he had her in…

On the other side of the door. Leon already had his eyes turned red the moment the door closed behind him. He knew the emperor was planning on doing something unforgivable. Though a half-blood, he was still a vampire and a strong one at that. Thus, his hearing was not impaired at all and was every bit as good if not better than the average vampire. And now that he had heard all the things emperor Lorcan had said through the doors, he could no longer stop himself from taking action. He knew what was…

Evie's initial jerk reaction was to turn around and run back to her room without looking back. But she knew she could not escape this as it was a royal summon. Thus, taking a deep breath, Evie steeled herself. Though she knew something was definitely off with this summon, she did not have a choice. She could not turn around and leave or disobey this summon. Because if she did, who knows what this emperor would do? She could not afford to anger him when her father and Gavriel were not here to defend or save…

Back in Evie's chambers. Lucius was shocked at everything that Evie had written to him in her letter. And now that he was reading the last remaining part, his expression became darker and darker. 'Father, I suspect that this must be a trap for Lorcan to get rid of you! They only want to use you to kill my husband and once they get what they want, they would definitely do something to you! Believe me father, they had tried to kill me because they planned for a war to spark between you and my husband.…

Realizing that someone must be watching them from somewhere hidden at that moment, Lucius held himself back from asking Evie any questions until the song ended. Though he wanted to know more about this, Lucius was not certain on what he should do next. He understood the hidden message his daughter was trying to tell him, but he needed more explanation. With this message, things just got even more confusing and messed up. She was trying to tell him that all this while, the things that she had said and…
