Chapter 12
Evie's pov
I can't believe Tristan's sister is dead, and I couldn't save her.
I'm not powerful.
I am just as weak as I have always been.
Now here I am in this palace as a prisoner.
I am being forced to mary someone I don't love so he can have my powers.
If I was ever to marry I wanted it to be with Tristan.
I wondered where he was right now.
Was he out looking for me?
Did he blame himself?
None of this would have happened if I hadn't gotten mad at him.
All I wanted was to be back in his bed.
I should have listened to him.
I don't know what to do.
They weren't mean to me and the guy I was to marry punished the other guy for killing Tristan's sister.
He was an air element they were just as rare as fire elements.
That's why he wanted us to marry so baldy.
We were the last of our kind.
Together we could stop our elements from becoming extinct.
I mean it sounds all good, but I did not love him.
I asked him I could call Tristan just to let him know I was okay, and to my surprise he said yes.
He said I wasn't a prisoner.
I called Tristan and told him where I was.
He told me I was safe there that the man I was to marry was his friend.
I gave him the phone, and they talked.
He told me Tristan would be coming soon.
He was still going to be my protector.
I guess I meant nothing to him if he could watch me marry another man.
Here I had fallen in love with him.
Maybe marrying Issiah wasn't a bad thing.
At least he treated me well.
I wonder what Tristan will do with the guy that killed his sister.
I just felt confused.
He was coming here to teach me so I could be strong.
He wasn't coming here to end this marriage.
I was going to be with someone I didn't love.
How did my life get so complicated?
