1. His Real Face

MORGANA

“It hasn’t been long.” I said, strangely calm as I stared at him. “You knowing I was here. Might have been the first alarm bell…”

Although that was something Kian pointed out, I was far too adamant that my uncle could never b e so.. It almost felt as if I was seeing him for the first time. How had I never noticed this before?

The screaming truth that was blaring in my head, telling me that he was responsible for my father’s death, was making my heart clench. How could he? And then pretending to care for us, for me? I remembered how loving and caring he always acted throughout our lives…

“Well… I didn’t want an all-out war… Things have to be planned… With him as king, he will have to ride out to war, which will leave the throne clear for me to take.”

“Wrong, you are third in line after Azrael!” I growled, my eyes flashing and my heart thundering at the very thought that my nephew may be targeted.

“You really are so innocent.” He said, reaching over, he caressed my cheek.

I smacked his hand away, glaring at him.
