( Red-haired, blue-eyed Today this beauty became my bride I took her home where I used to hide But now she might sleep by my side ) "Don't leave." Angelica hummed. Rayven remained seated next to her and watched her sleep peacefully. She lay curled, with her head resting on her hands above the pillow and a few hair strands falling over her face. That hair that always made his hands itch. Unable to stop himself, he removed the hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. Then his…-

Angelica sat quietly on her trip back to the place that was her home now. She was tense and nervous about what would happen once they arrived. Lord Rayven was also tense but for other reasons than he was before. He kept staring at the road and looking focused. He looked like he was ready to fight rather than run. "Who is Lucrezia?" Angelica asked. She didn't believe in the whole cousin thing and since the green-eyed woman had left things had been tense between the Lords. They kept exchanging looks…

Angelica doubted that he would give her the answers she was looking for but at the same time, now that she could ask, she didn't know where to start. Most of her questions were about what she thought to be sensitive topics. "Why don't you have a surname?" she began. "I disowned my father." "Why?" "I hated him." Why she wanted to ask again. Ugh..this wasn't it. "What about your mother?" "She is dead." "Do you have siblings?" "She is also dead." So that was where his family was.…

Angelica was surprised as to why Lord Rayven suddenly became angry with Hilde. She hadn't even tried to speak yet and he didn't know what kind of relationship they had. If he saw them together then that would be even more reason to wonder why he was being the way he was. Hilde's eyes widened and she seemed as surprised as her. She looked at her for help, but Angelica didn't know how to react in this awkward situation. "Uh...I apologize. I am used to calling her by her first name. We have known each…

No. He wasn't only shaken. There was panic and terror in his black eyes. She became scared for him for some unknown reason and felt like she had to do something but didn't know what. Suddenly the crowd clapped and cheered bringing both of them back to the real world. Lord Rayven was truly startled as he had been completely lost and then his eyes as if something inside him died, swiftly went back to normal before he looked away and turned to the pastor. It was time for them to sign the marriage…

Who was this man? Why was he suddenly behaving like this? Angelica didn't know whether to be comforted or confused. He called her beautiful and said that people would envy him because she would be… his. Would they? Suddenly she lost track of her thoughts. It became too much with all the feelings going through her so she shut her eyes and took a deep breath not caring what that would make her look like. When she opened her eyes again, Lord Rayven was still watching her, as if afraid she would faint.…

Angelica woke up after a nightmare. She had a dream about going to her wedding in a white dress and someone spilling a drink on it. Everyone then laughed at her. She could still hear their laughter after she woke up. After a knock on her door, Sarah walked inside. "Good morning, My Lady. I thought you would be asleep and came to wake you up." She smiled. "Good morning," Angelica replied. "It is your wedding day." Sarah smiled excitedly. Right. She should have been excited on her wedding day…

No touching. Why didn't he think of it earlier he wondered as he walked back to his room. He sensed William wandering around the castle, being in a quarter where he hadn't been for a long time. Rayven teleported there to see what he was doing. He watched him from upstairs as the boy looked around at the dusty interior. Then he took notice of him. "My Lord." He bowed. Rayven descended the stairs and went to him. As much as the boy had made him feel miserable the last days, he was still bothered…

Rayven teleported to the royal castle, to be exact into the king's chamber without getting ready and changing his clothes. A maid was combing Skender's hair and screamed in horror when he appeared out of nowhere. Skender was quick to get up, grab her shoulders and compel her to calm down before the guards outside barged in. "It is alright." He told them and they went back and closed the door. "What is wrong with you?" Skender said turning to him. "Well, you said to come to the meeting this…

"I don't need to be reminded. I know you." He said with clenched teeth. Angelica just stared at him, looked at how he stood stiffly near the bed, his eyes reflecting both anger and something else. He knew her? What did he know? Taking a deep breath, he ran his fingers through his hair looking frustrated. He walked back and forth once before he stopped and looked at her for a long moment. Angelica wondered what was going through his mind before he walked up to her and grabbed her wrist. "This…
