Our lies and deception are entangled in the shadows and stars, and as they unravel so shall my fate. The way my hands ache to touch him deceitful.Įven my dreams make me a traitor to the kingdom I am sworn to protect.īut when the kingdom is attacked, I am forced to make choices I’m not prepared for. He is darkness and sin, and when he whispers promises of wickedness in my ear, I crave a man who I can’t have.Įvery thought I have is treasonous. It’s the half-breed prince who stands at his side. I am told my union to the crowned prince will determine the fate of the kingdom, but it isn’t my betrothed who haunts my dreams. I may be the bastard prince, but I still have power.” “The queen can only see what I allow her, princess. “What did you do?” My voice trembled with fear and anticipation. Every lamp and the glow of the fire had completely disappeared, and I grasped the post of my bed as I tried to see in front of me. “The queen is watching me,” I whispered, and Evren simply lifted his stained fingers and ran one over the other before my room was clouded in darkness. Unless you close your eyes and imagine that his fingers are mine, I think the only thing my brother will leave you is wanting.” His smile dropped as he stepped closer to me still. “Your brother can satisfy my temptation just fine.” His smile deepened as he watched me, and I knew that he wasn’t going to leave unless I made him. Is it your want for me that makes your breath catch in your throat when I am near or your boredom? If you simply need a man to cure your temptation, then please allow me the pleasure.” “A destiny that makes you wish you were anywhere else.” He chuckled softly just as he moved in front of me. “He is my destiny,” I corrected him and took a step back as he moved forward.

“He is what you want?” He moved closer to me as his dark eyes pierced through me. “I am.” I lifted my trembling chin as I answered him. I have spent my entire life preparing for my betrothal to the crowned prince, and I am a fool to allow the queen to think I am loyal to anything but that.”Ī dark smile graced his lips as he shook his head. He is my best friend in this world, but he’s also an idiot.

“I am not leaving you alone while you are panicking over whatever Jorah said to you. The setting sun was leaving room for nothing but darkness, and it was falling over the sky like a curse. I wrapped my arms around my chest and looked to the window. “I am a prince of Citlali, Starblessed.” He spat my name. “You can’t be in here.” I pulled away from his touch and put as much space between he and I as possible.
