What is a nightmare?
Waking up to see your nemesis right in your face? It was a miracle Islinda did not scream out because the dark prince gave her quite a fright.
"Aldric…" She gasped, trying to steady her beating heart.
Islinda could not sit up because he was leaning over her and if she dared to lift her head, they would be close to locking lips. She chastised herself for the ridiculous thought. She should be revulsed at the idea of kissing the dark Fae, instead, she was strangely excited at the prospect of such an event.
No, this must be his handwork. The longer she stayed with Aldric, the more his dark magic corrupted her mind, making her susceptible to his charm. He was twisting her mind from the inside out because the past Islinda wouldn't entertain such thoughts!
No, she had to guard her mind and thoughts. She might not be together with Valerie anymore, but Aldric? She would be stupid to make such a ridiculous choice.
