The Voice Returns

Electra's POV

I couldn't sleep.

No matter how many times I twisted, turned, flipped my pillow, or yanked the blanket over my head—sleep refused to come, and I knew exactly why.

It was her.

Seraphina Hook, or, should I say—the soon-to-be Seraphina Orion.

My teeth clenched at the thought, and I flipped on my back, staring at the ceiling, and feeling my chest tighten with frustration.

This was ridiculous. I shouldn't care this much; I shouldn't be this restless over a stupid engagement announcement, and yet—I was losing my mind.

I knew it was bad when, after tossing and turning for over an hour, I had reached for my phone—and done something I had never done before.

I had searched his name.

Prince Darius Orion.

I needed something, some flaw, some imperfection. Something to justify the growing knot of irritation in my chest.
