Still Alive

Thallan stomped back up the stairs to his office. "Of all the backstabbing people, he had to be the one to do it...!" He slammed his hand down hard on his desk.

No wonder that bitch was able to leave here without me knowing!

Thallan never thought, Voron would have helped Kamryn to escape his palace. His friend was never one to interfere with what he did unless it conflicts with their goal.

Feeling betrayed, Thallan grabbed his bottle of wine on his desk and went to relieve some anger.

Upstairs, Lady Jaelah sat at her vanity combing out her hair. For the last few weeks, she has been in this palace serving King Thallan whenever he needs her. 

The first few days were harsh, she couldn't accept his kind of love. However, now she has grown accustomed to it and even sort of like it. It was hard for her to admit it but inside her heart, she would begin to get excited whenever he would come to her room at night.
