I swallowed down nothing. Nothing in the entire world would have been enough to prepare me for the next words that came out of his mouth. “Be my wife.”


I coughed and pushed him away,  standing up from the sofa immediately.

The surprise in his eyes was evident despite the mask he had on. “Why? Am I not a good candidate for you?” He asked calmly.


He stood up, and  before I could register what he was about doing, his right hand wrapped around my waist, his left hand around my neck.

“I'm neither asking nor requesting you to do it Serena, I'm ordering you to be my wife."


...

Disowned and banished, Serena walks away from the one place she had come to cherish and love. Exposed to the outside world, she's faced with a demanding decision that would determine her life.

What happens when she starts to unravel the dark secrets surrounding her birth. Would she still be the meek young hybrid or would she trample on her assailants?

My eyes slowly popped open, I closed it back almost immediately. Who the hell opened the darn windows?


With one hand on my head, I slowly sat up. I felt weak, tired, hungry and worse of all, thirsty for blood.


I looked around the room, I was in Zeeland's room. Wait a minute… Zeeland's room?


I jerked off the bed immediately, did I not try to escape last night? Why then was I still in the palace and worse of all, I woke up on Zeeland's bed?


Memories of last night came flooding my head. Me jumping out of the palace. Lost in the middle of nowhere. The rain and thunderclap. Zeeland saving me from the rain.


Celyn sneered. 'Yeah, because you didn't plan your stuff right.' 


I ignored her and  made to move but I felt a thug of wire pulling me back. I yanked off the silly wire off my wrist, Ignoring the blood dripping from my wrist, I slid over my head a long plain straight gown.
