Before I could attack Leona grabbed me and a vine wall with sharp thorns shot up in front of Phaedra. Standing beside her was a girl I had never seen before and yanked my arm away from Leona.

"There is no way you are going to attack the queen." The girl smiled.

"Its okay Orva if she is that crazy to attack a pregnant woman its a good thing she isn't queen." Phaedra smirked.

"I was only going pop you in the mouth since you seem to want to run it so much." I smiled back. I was angry as hell and hurt by all of this but I wasn't going to let it show.

"Why the hell did you even come in here?" Kingston bit out.

"I can go where I please because this is my kingdom." Phaedra answered.

"I see what type of woman you are you are an opportunist and I only had to meet you for a second to see it. Julius got the kind of queen he deserve, you make a perfect mindless shadow." I seethed.

"I know Leona was supposed to tell you this to soften the blow, but you aren't welcome in this kingdom. The moment you woke up the elders found out and want to do damage control. There is only one queen and having the runner up staying in the kingdom makes no sense." She countered.

I looked over at Leona who then looked down at the ground and I knew everything she said was true. Phaedra started laughing and it bounced around the room. "I will leave you to talk." She spun around and her and Orva walked out of the room and the doors slammed shut behind them.

"How the fuck could you not tell me that's what those meeting where about?" Kingston blurted out.

"I didn't want to fight with you about it and I didn't want to get involved in any of this shit. I felt that Julius should talk to you but he thought that since we were friends it would soften the blow." Leona replied softly.

"That's the point if we were friends like you say you would have told him that you didn't want to do it. You could have told him to man up and not put you in the position to be his messenger." I screamed feeling a wave of emotions. I couldn't believe that Julius didn't have the balls to talk to me that the time we spent together meant nothing.

"Listen Adlyn I know this is a lot to swallow and I know your pissed but Julius and the elders decided to release from your contract. Your soul is no longer the possession of the black Pegasus and they have given you money, this was the one thing Julius wanted to make sure you had. He wanted to make sure you could start your life the way you chose, but in another city." Leona explained.

"So Julius wants to get rid of me that bad that's fine."I stated.

Leona dug her hand in her pocked and pulled out a black card and handed it to me. "This is the account that only you can access with your funds on it."

I yanked the card out of her hand and shook my head. "I will get my phone and be out of here." I then bit my lip trying to hold back my tears because I was truly hurt not just angry.

I begin to walk out of the room not wanting to say anything else and then Kingston spoke up stopping me. "I'm going to go with you."

I spun around in shock. "I have no idea what the hell I'm doing next or were I'm going."

"Exactly I love adventure and I want a change that I won't get being stuck in this city." She replied.

"Kingston are you serious?" Leona questioned.
