“What the fuck is she doing here?” Evie protests the moment she walks through the door, and as I suspected, she pulls out a hidden dagger and runs for her. I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her to my front as I grab her dagger-filled hand, and Evie glares up at me as she turns her head. I try to ignore how amazing her body feels pressed against mine, how she smells fucking amazing, and how it is killing me not to act on how I feel. I gulp as she struggles to get free, the wriggling not making anything less hard.

“Sheath the dagger, Blue. You can’t kill her, remember?” I tell her, staring into her stunning blue eyes that are framed by her silky, dark blue hair which falls around her angry face. Everything about my Evie makes me want to pull her to me, kiss her and never fucking stop. Even as she holds a dagger in her hand and is trying to kill someone. “Blue, come on. I want her dead as much as you, just not at this moment.”

I watch as she calms down, relaxing in my arms and lowering the dagger to her side. I let her go as I look over at Erica, stood with her arms crossed in a white dress which I assume is meant to make her look innocent, but it doesn’t work. Erica and Evie might be half-sisters, but they share little in looks other than their eyes and maybe their cheekbones. Evie gives off a royal feel, a feeling that she is something so much more than what you can see, and Erica has only ever given me a creepy feeling and a spoiled brat one as well.

“I did not bring Erica here to have you two fight. The people are very distressed with the changes in royalty at the moment, and I want you to come to some kind of agreement not to publicly attack each other. Neither of you will have a throne to sit on if you cannot be in the same room with each other without looking like you are seconds from stabbing one another,” Keeper Grey explains his reasoning.

“I’ve already stabbed her a few times, as you well know, but the bitch can’t seem to stay dead, and now she dares to try and take my throne. I am the rightful heir, not her!” Erica whines, and I’m not shocked that I have to tighten my arms around Evie as she tries to attack once again.

“ERICA!” Keeper Grey snaps as I fight to hold on to Evie who tries to escape, and I look to Nix for help.

“She is winding you up. Be the bigger person,” Nix says, stepping in front of Evie and me, blocking Evie’s view. He places his finger under Evie’s chin, making her look at him and holding her gaze. “Come on, love. You’re better than her.” His words are spoken softly, in almost a caressing way that seems to do something to Evie as she stops wriggling.
