"Did you think that I would marry you instead of her? C'mon, you are only an orphan. No one knows where you originate from," Vickson's words kept repeating in Hailey's head after he had just embarrassed her by choosing her stepsister as his mate instead.
As if that was not enough for him, he still forced himself on her. And Hailey is blamed by her adoptive mother, as she forces the both of them to get married. She didn't want to bear the shame of what people would say.
But her stepsister, Ava, would rather die than watch the two of them live in peace as husband and wife….
Ava becomes their worst nightmare!

I want you back mate

Hailey paused. "The prophecy says that one of us will betray the others."

The words hung in the air like a dark omen. Vickson tensed, his hands balled into fists at his sides. "Which one?"

"No one knows," she said. "Time will tell who the traitor is."

Before Vickson could answer, the door flew open. Emilia staggered in, her complexion pale and her expression frantic. "They're coming," she gasped. "Ava's troops… they've breached the outer wall."

Vickson cast a grim look at Hailey. The conflict they had so desperately tried to avoid was finally on their doorstep.

And someone within their walls… was destined to betray them.

The weight of what Hailey had said pressed down on my chest. My thoughts raced, trying to understand what all the prophecy she had uncovered meant was saying. If the elders were correct, our kids were not only valuable but also vulnerable. And no one would take them from me.
