I continued down the hall. Still dumbfounded about what had happened in the training room. I smiled.

"Sienna". Megan made an abrupt stop in front of me. She placed her hand on my shoulder, bending over slightly to take small breaths. "I-I was looking.. for you".

"For me? Why?".

"Prince Jax seeks your presence".

A whole day hasn't passed and you seek for me once again?

"Sienna!", Megan opened her eyes wide, waiting for me to say something or give her the signal to go.

"Ugh right. Lead the way".

Megan turned on her heel, walking in the direction she had come. I sighed, trudging behind her.

Megan opened the door and let me in. She then soon followed, keeping a far distance. The smell of ciggirates swept in through my nostrils and down my throat. I had to hold my breath in order not to cough or inhale any more of that smoke.

"And there she is".

I forced a smile. "My lord", I said as I made my way to him.

"You tempt me to do the unthinkable to you". Jax took a hold of my hand, pulling me up to stand next to him on his chair. I pretense to be intrigued.

"So my prince what was this urgent call for my presence?".

"My sister. She hasn't quite announced her arrival to all but gossip spreads quickly and I am sure everyone does know".

"Oh".

He looked up at me with a grin. "She loves the attention".

"And what does that have to do with me? If you don't mind me asking, ugh your majesty".

He entwined his hand with mine. "I want her to meet you".

His touch sends a fearsome shiver up my arm. "I wouldn't be any more different than your other women".

"That's where you're wrong, you are different. That's why I had to make you mine that day".

I inhaled deeply, remembering that day. If I only followed my mother, would it have made any difference?

The doors were forcefully pushed open, making all heads turn.

"Brother!". Her hair fell to a straight line midway down her back, absolutely flat and shining with the room's light. It was such a fading white-blond it blended with her pale skin. Even in the dark, you could see her, like a shining beacon. Smeared mascara and heavy eyelids made her glacier eyes stand out more. They were intense, and unlike the rest of her they weren't at all expressive, they were cold, like ice yet enchanting and delicate.

"Darla has finally made it back".

"I know you missed me. Everyone did", she flipped her long hair and twirled around. She seemed like a 9-year-old girl who still possessed her innocence and sweetness.
Suddenly a young man crossed her way. I believe he was making his way to the bar for a refill of his cup. With no hesitation she grabbed the back of his neck and with great force, she pulled him down to the ground. Darla jumped about 4 feet in the air, landing her two feet on top of his chest. He groaned in pain. I looked at Jax who watched with amusement. Darla then grabbed his throat.
I watched as he gasped for air. My heart broke into pieces as I saw him struggle. She opened her mouth and her fangs dug out of her gum. They were at least half an inch and as white as paper.

"If you ever cross in front of me once again I'll bite your neck off and let you bleed to death!", she hissed.

I gasped and pulled my hand away from Jax's grip.

Darla then let him go. "You lucky I'm in a good mood", she mumbled. She flipped her hair once again.

The young man got to his feet, still gasping for air he dashed out the door in a flash.
The gleeful attitude Darla had a second ago was run over with cold malice. She stomped her feet on the ground as she came close, owning every step she took with her head held high.

I gulped. She and her brother are the same.

She stopped in front, crossing her arms.

"Darla I want you to meet Sienna". He took a grip of my hand. This time holding it tighter. "Lucky her she got picked to be one- ".

Darla waved her hand at us in dismissal. "Yeah, yeah another mistress, lover, whatever you call it".

Jax let go of my hand and slammed the armchair, bringing himself to his feet. I jumped back. Anger was fueling up in him.

Darla ignored his impulse. "Where's Cyan?".

Jax took his seat once again.

Cyan? Why is she asking for him?

"Shouldn't he be here to welcome me!". Her pale face turned hot red.

As if Cyan knew she was calling for him, he had entered. But the look in his eyes was not so friendly. He was emotionless. He had almost a robotic look to him.

"Did you call for me? Darla", he stretch out her name when he said it.

With a squeal, she ran into his arms. They viciously started to make out.

My knuckles were white from clenching my fist too hard and gritting my teeth in an effort to remain silent. My face was red with suppressed rage. The scene I was witnessing fueled a fire that was burning inside of me.

Why? Why? That was all I kept repeating in my head. Why am I feeling this way about some stranger?

My every being was screaming for him and I couldn't understand why. The pain seemed to burn my heart. Then it increased around my body like waves. It's as though my blood has become acid.
I pressed my hand against my heart as the tears welled in my eyes. I continue to watch trying my best not to show the pain I was feeling.

With every kiss and touch of their lips and hands against each other, it shattered my inside completely.

Suddenly as if the air was knocked out of Cyan, he pulled back with a gasp. Breaking their heated make-out. He placed his hand on his chest, His eyes looked like a pop-eyed toy. Then his eyes locked with mine. He can see the pain in my eyes. I was mentally begging him to stop what he was doing to make my pain go away.
Cyan's pale face has Now turned bright red. Taking in a solid breath he closed his eyes, pressing his hand closer to his chest. Glass-shaped snowflakes were running up around his chested area.

Ice.

They were beautifully solid around him.

I felt the cold temperature in my chest area as well. It stung at first but then it was cool and relaxing. My every pain, anger, and emotion vanished as if they were never there. I watched as he inhaled deeply making the icy snowflakes disappear. I then exhaled for him.

It seemed as if we were linked to one another, some sort of bond? It was unexplainable.

"Cyan, sweety are you okay?". Darla looked at him with worried eyes. Then ran her fingers on his chest. He averted his eyes away from me, focusing on Darla.

"Ugh yeah, sorry. I had a few drinks earlier and I think they are making an effect on me".

"Oh", Darla gave him a seductive grin. She pushed herself against him, wrapping her leg around his waist.

"We can go to your room and have some fun", she whispered in his ear.

I was able to hear it.

"I'll do- ".

I shut my ears from listening anymore.

Cyan looked up at the ceiling, eyes rolling at her easy offering.

"Darla, Darla, sister". Jax waved his hand at them in disgust. Cyan broke free from her grip. She turned around to face her brother.

"Yes my wonderful brother", she gave him an innocent smile.

"There are vamps here, what do you think this is? Show some respect for yourself ".

"Whatever everyone knows we are about to be wedded". She ran her finger up Cyan's shoulder. He, on the other hand, went to his emotionless state again.

That remark did not do affect my heart. Did he break any attachment we had to each other?

"Cyan!".

The call of his name broke my thought. Cyan rose an eyebrow.

"You have been engaged to my sister for a while now. As I also see, fucking her as well without being husband and wife. Why haven't this wedding come to pass?".

"You shouldn't be asking me any question that is not of your concern, your highness". He said highness in a way to mock his title. As if that title had no meaning what's so ever. " If I said I will marry your sister it will happen".

"It is of my concern when it comes to my sister!".

"Do you dare raise your voice at me?! Choose wisely the way you speak to me before you are stripped from everything you have. We well know who is in charge here".

For the first time, I see fear creep in Jax. Sweat drenched his skin. He was paralyzed, clenching his hands to his armchair. He stuttered.

"Jax, babe um Cyan please let's not do this here". I can see the uneasy feeling she was trying too hard to hide. She looked around the room and I followed. All eyes were on Jax and Cyan.

Jax swallowed. "Get out of my room".

Darla took hold of Cyan's arm but he shook it off, storming out the room.

"Great, thanks brother!". Using her vampire ability, she speeds out of the room in pursuit of her husband-to-be.

Jax took hold of a gold cup filled with wine and threw it against the wall in rage. I jumped. I waited a few seconds before I approached him.

"My Prince can I take my leave?".

Without looking at me he waved his hand in dismissal. Without waiting for him to change his mind, I dashed out of the room. Ending up in front of Adira and my room.

"Wow, that's such an amazing feeling".

I opened up the curtains. "Adira, we need to talk".

"Sienna!!", she shouted.

"Oh my!". I quickly closed the curtains. My eyes had just seen the most horrifying thing ever. Lars and Adira having sex.

A few seconds passed before I see Lars exiting the room. Jeans still unbutton, no shirt, and only one shoe on. The rest he held tightly.

"Ugh Sienna", he gave me a curtsied nod. I in exchange gave him an awkward smile. Lars then hurried down the hall, trying to put on the clothes as quickly as he could.

I opened the curtains once again and entered. Adira was sitting up combing her hair through. "So what did you want to talk about?".

I slumped down on my bed. "Do you know anything about unity? Like when you are bonded to someone".

Adira's comb fell from her hand and her eyes were now focused on me.

"Who are you bonded to?".

Uh oh. What do you guys think of this new finding? Is she really bonded to Cyan? How will their relationship change or evolve with Darla being his wife-to-be? What has also been your favorite part of the book so far?/Please comment below. 💙💙💙
