Alex’s POV
I felt so stupid. How could I let this happen? My whole kingdom was under attack, a silent attack where one by one they were cast under a horrific spell, under the hands of this cretin. Tara.
The twins remained oblivious to what was going on thank goddess, but I worried for my Queens safety. There was no way that I could be mindlike with her, and it was driving me crazy. I needed to know she was safe and alive. This witch was powerful, and I had totally underestimated her. She had tricked me and the kindness of my kingdom. We had fallen for her trap so easily that of course she would be standing in front of me laughing.
How could I have been so blind? Tara had played me like a fool, using her cunning and deceit to infiltrate my kingdom and cast her spell. And now, I was left to deal with the consequences.
