“I can only be the villain for you. Never to you” “I don't care…because I would do the same” Althea said with a slight smirk on her lips. *** All her life, Althea wanted a simple life. She had the love of her life and she would have his kids. But everything changed when he broke her heart. The King of Elodonia is now looking for a mate. One to be his queen and wife. Althea prays she would not be chosen but unfortunately fate wasn't on her side. But who said the king was looking for a queen? No, he was looking for his next plaything and he may have found his victim in the heart of a young woman. Life wasn't a bed of roses, so don't expect fluffiness in the castle.
"Your… Your majesty," Althea stammered, her eyes wide.
Darian crossed his arms behind him, a regal air about him. "Excuse us, Ladies."
Fiona and Ariana nodded and stepped out, leaving Althea alone with Darian. A single flower dropped beside her bed as Darian took a seat opposite her. Althea bit her lips nervously, wondering if he had overheard their conversation.
'He didn't,' a voice echoed inside her mind, a voice that sounded like Carolina. 'Yes, it is me. I have entered into your wolf and became a part of you.'
Althea, though surprised, maintained her composure and chuckled nervously. "Going for a walk. We were just talking about going for a walk."
Darian squinted his eyes, studying her. "A walk? At this hour?"
Althea shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. "Late-night stroll, you know. Clears the mind."
