Vesper
It's all my fault.
I had to make the world believe I completed the prophecy.
For both our sakes.
But I never meant to hurt Aurelia the way I did.
Nor bond her to me.
Aurelia
Going from a princess in a tower to a hostage in a witch coven?
It was a hell of a lot worse than anything I'd ever imagined.
While Vesper moved freely, I was stuck in a rundown cabin, waiting for the witches to decide my fate.
I hated it. And I hated her.
Or at least, I wanted to.
The truth was more complicated.

They should never have come here.
The coven was more dangerous than the palace ever was. And now, I couldn't protect them.
I never meant to fall for the silver-haired hunter.
But the more she stayed, the more I found myself unable to let anything happen to her or to the vampire brat she kept by her side.
