After dinner, everyone returned back to their rooms, but not before Josien gave me a look that said 'we'll talk later'. Logan gave me a small smile that everyone failed to notice. I just can't wait to crash on my bed, my sweet, soft, comf- "Aurora?" Of course, someone just has to interrupt my dreams about my soft, comfy bed. "Yeah?" I turn to see Korina on the verge of tears.
 


"Korina, what's wrong?" she wraps her arms around me, "it's Hoaric" I lead her into my room and sit her on my bed, "what happened to Hoaric?" I ask, "I had a feeling he was cheating on me and I confronted him but he got mad and started yelling at me, oh Aurora the argument was so terrible that we were late to the dinner.

I'm scared to sleep in the same room with him. Can I sleep here tonight? I promise to find somewhere else to sleep tomorrow. you are the only friend I have that's why I-" tears rolled down her rosy cheeks as she sniffled.

"you can sleep here for as long as you want, do you really think he's cheating on you?" I ask her softly and she nods.

I thought mates are not able to cheat, I thought to myself "you can wear one of the nightgowns I haven't worn yet "Thank you" she says softly before engulfing me in a comfortable, warm hug and goes to take her bath. We slept quietly that night since we both had our minds busy thinking about our problems.

I woke up to the sun hitting my face and to the empty side of the bed where Korina laid last night. I guess she's used to waking up early since it's like a holiday in Dapphion. I'm free from training.

I yawn and take my bath. Today I'm wearing a pink dress and sandals, my stomach rumbles loudly, I walk to the kitchen and see that it's empty. "hmmm," I toast the bread and eat it.

I look at the portraits hung on the wall when I feel something yank me into a room "ahhhh" the room is dark and the thing that yanked me into the room is still holding my wrist,  the lights turn on and I come face to face with Logan, "you bastard why the hell did you drag me in here? I thought I was being kidnapped" I stopped hitting him when he continued laughing.

I fold my arms and wait for him to stop laughing, "Are you done?" I glare at him, "Sorry, the look on your face was priceless" I roll my eyes, "come on Rory, laugh" I give him a blank stare, his face turns serious when he realizes I'm not going to laugh, "What's wrong? you don't look happy" he places his palm on my cheek, I push his palm away with a glare.

"I'm leaving," I say and turn to open the door only to discover that it's locked, "What are you doing here?" he asks, "you tell me, I was just staring at the portraits on the wall when you yanked me into your room!" I yell at his face.

"No, I mean here in Dapphion. What are you doing in Dapphion?" I stare at him, "I'm your cousin's mate," his eyes turn hard. "Mate?" he laughs, I frown "That's what he told you? he must have seen something that made him lie to you." Logan laughs out loud.
