Chapter 18 

Ana POV 

I am beyond annoyed with shopping. I hate it, it sucks. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and sighed. My stomach growled as I turned and opened the fitting room door to show the outfit off and hoped for approval. I was ready to leave and get lunch. 

By the look on Amber’s face I knew she instantly approved. She nodded her head “Girl. This. Is. FIRE!” She walked circles around me inspecting me from head to toe. 

“I guess I look okay.” I shrugged. 

“Okay? Girl you look amazing!” She complimented me again as my stomach growled in protest. “Okay go change and we can go eat. We need to start looking for your dress, and then party planner has a 

meeting at four.” 

I walked back into the fitting room, changed my clothes, and went and paid for the items. Except the cashier wouldn’t accept Everest card. She would slide it and say it was declined. 

“Sorry? Let me call someone really quick, stay here. It may be our system.” She walked off with his card before I could say anything. 

“That is weird.” Amber commented. 

I nodded in agreement. It was weird and why did she take the card? I didn’t like this feeling but I didn’t want to get into trouble by going into her back office. 

“Stay here Amber. I don’t like that she took Everests credit card. I’m going to get it back.” I smiled. “Oooo. Acting like the future Queen already! Don’t take her s**t!” She laughed. 

I don’t know where this confidence came from or this bravery but I hopped the counter and walked into the back of the establishment. When I did the girl was on the phone before she screamed a blood 

piercing sound for no reason. 

“Help! Hurry! She’s going to kill me!” She yelled. “What? No! I just want the credit card back! Give it to me, now!”I put my hand out and glared. “No! It’s not yours!” She screamed at me “You theif!” 

Well she was right, it didn’t have my name but my mates name. “I know but he’s my mate. Give me his card, please.” 

“No.You’re not wearing a mark!” She took off deeper into the room and headed for the back door. I followed her, trying to get the card back. Why didn’t she believe me? I just didn’t understand. Everest was here three days ago with me. She helped us and now she doesn’t understand or believe me. 

I left my phone out the front with Amber but this woman was just infuriating. I watched her run out the back door and when I followed I saw a man standing with her, a smile on his face. 

”That is her! She is trying to kill me! Help please!” 

The man who was well above six feet with broad shoulders only watched me and not saying a word he turned to the girl. “This is Prince Everests mate. She is not trying to kill you, you silly girl.” 

She looked at me and nodded “I am sorry.” 

turned my head in the direction of the noise. I saw a smoke cloud in the direction of the castle and gasped. I heard a gasp and the sound of a thud. When I turned to look, the girls neck was sliced open and she laid lifeless
