Veiled Vengeance

"Are you going to hate me, little girl?" the man asked with a flat, emotionless voice that made Annica's mouth taste bitter with fear and hatred. Annica remained silent. She just stared at the frozen face without blinking, ignoring his increasingly blurred gaze. The man laughed. "What are you going to do? This is your fate. Accept it." The monster turned his body around and walked away, leaving Annica alone in her cold room. The gust of wind rushing in through the door extinguished the light from the remaining short candles in the room. But Annica could still gaze at the man's back. Tonight, the moon seemed brighter than usual. Tonight, Annica's world split in two. Tonight, the 14-year-old girl lost everything.

I Will Make You Mine

"So what happened five years ago is something you think is important? Why?"

Daemond paused. He reached out and grabbed a strand of Annica's hair. 

To Annica's surprise, he then tucked it back behind Annica's ear.

"A man like me is a man of duty, Annica," Daemond answered in a soft voice. "I can't just think about myself to the point of forgetting other important things, like the future of the Navaell Kingdom, for example. As long as I live, there is nothing more important than that."

Daemond lowered his head to kiss the top of Annica's head. He then continued, "I know you blame me for what happened to your father. I also know that I shouldn't have allowed you to stay here. But I did. Do you know why? I did it not because I underestimated you. Not at all. I'm sure you were capable of killing me if I gave you the chance. But I kept you because I couldn't let you go."

Annica didn't know what to say. Had the man just confessed his feelings?
