I didn't know what the Queen had planned to do to make Ezekiel pay but whatever it was, she didn't hint anything to me. All she told me to do was to not think too much about him. To help me with this, she made sure to keep me busy enough around the palace.

After a few days of urging and fighting, even Regulus had stopped asking me the same question again and again. Although I was sure that he hadn't given up yet.

The method employed by the Queen to keep me busy enough around Zaeris so that I wouldn't have time to slug around and think too much about a certain lycan proved to be successful. Very successful actually.

I didn't realize how a couple of months had passed by ever since the incident. Everything seemed to be slowly turning back to normal and I did feel normal but there were very uncertain moments here and there where I was caught off guard by my feelings and the memories of the incident.

One night, I was laying in bed, waiting for sleep. Even though my body was completely worn out by working all day, sleep was nowhere to be seen. I was exhausted but not enough to collapse into a dreamless sleep like other days.

That night, I stayed awake, and even before I could realize it, my mind had already started to conjure thoughts about that certain lycan. I clenched my jaw and closed my eyes. Instantly his tall, dark figure flashed in front of my eyes. His long dreadlocks rested very lazily collected over his shoulder before flowing down to his back. His black eyes held me captive and even in a dream, he managed to send a shiver down my spine and make me feel things just by setting his gaze upon me.

Without realizing it, I started dreaming of his hard body pressed against mine and his demanding lips enveloped around mine, staking their claim. For a moment, it felt so real. It felt like he was actually there, kissing me, devouring me, torturing me with the help of the mate bond.

All the incidents relayed in my dream and the dream... it was so vivid. It almost felt like I was going through this all over again, this time, knowing I was going to face in the end.

'B-because you're ugly!'

His words rang in my ears and instantly, my eyes snapped open and I sat up in my bed, sweating. Tears were already running down my cheeks but I didn't let a sob escape my lips.

You will not cry for this again! I told myself but the tears kept rolling down my cheek. Pax woke up due to this sudden commotion and instantly moved beside me before sniffing my face. His rough tongue brushed against my wet cheeks before he purred and rubbed himself over me to comfort me.

My arms instantly wrapped around him before I cured my face in his fur and took a long drag of his familiar scent. He licked my face a couple more times as I laid in the darkness, holding him dearly.

I woke up late the next morning and was scrambling around to catch up. Today there was going to be an important court session so everyone was expected to be there.

"What took so long?" Regulus asked when I managed to reach the court just on time. He was waiting outside the court with Augustus. It was only the three of us today. Ares was away for a few days, attending an important event.

"I was feeding Pax," I lied before the three of us entered the nearly filed courtroom. The Royal couple showed up just a few moments after we took our places in the seat. I was already bored and dazed out as soon as the court session started.
