Chapter 20

Kissing the prince.

I'm standing in the darkness, breathing hard and looking around not knowing where the hell I am. Blood rushes to my ears and I see a light flickering in a corner of the room. Energy rushes down my spine and I realise I'm back in the chamber, the one from my nightmare. I flinch when someone's suddenly squeezing my neck. Panic sweeps through me, sinking its poisonous venom into my veins. I'm trying to pull away, feeling someone's heavy breath on my cheek.

"Finally. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

I want to scream, but I have no voice; I'm staring into the same crystal blue eyes of a man who's been chasing after me since my parents' death. Duke Jorgen has returned to finish what he started eleven years ago.
