  He gazed at her with those flaming eyes. Klara had never seen such eyes before and it made her wonder if the rumors could be true.
  It wasn't only his eyes, but there was a raw power that emanated from him making fear crawl into her skin. She had fought with many powerful and scary men but this one, he made her terrified when she couldn't even see his face.
  &quot;You wanted to say something?&quot; He spoke and Klara froze.
  His voice, it was so different from his aura. It was like nothing she had heard before, warm and deep. The silkiness of it felt like an intimate caress on her skin.
  &quot;Hey princess, His Highness is speaking to you.&quot; Someone called.
  Tearing her gaze from his piercing eyes she tried to think. What was it she wanted to say? Yes, she wanted to bargain.
  &quot;What do you want of me?&quot; She asked looking up at him.
  &quot;I don't know yet but I am su

  &quot;You know me?&quot;
  &quot;Not really, just heard of you and your savage brother and &hellip;people.&quot;
  Klara was fuming with anger. How dare he? He knew nothing about her brother or people.
  &quot;Don't you dare call my brother or my people savage.&quot;
  &quot;Or what?&quot; He said looking amused.
  &quot;Or I will slit your throat.&quot; Klara threatened before she could stop herself from saying something so stupid.
  &quot;Tsk tsk&hellip;I didn't know such threats could come from that beautiful mouth of yours.&quot;
  Klara was confused. Was he complimenting her? Then why did she feel as if he was mocking her?
  &quot;It's not a threat, it's a warning.&quot;
  He took a step toward her and leaned closer. Klara froze in place, he was too close for her comfort. &quot;You see, you are in no position to warn me when you just ran from a mere snake.&quot; He said.
  A mere 

  &quot;Yes,&quot; I breathed, but I wasn't.
  Throughout the journey, I fought my urge to vomit as I held on to Lucian until I discovered something. Inhaling Lucian's scent took the nausea away. Grabbing some strands of his hair I kept inhaling his spicy scent until we decided to take a break.
  &quot;Lincoln will bring us food.&quot; Lucian said as he sat next to me on a cliff while I was watching the sunrise.
  It was my first time seeing the sun rise and it was the most beautiful sight. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Lucian watching me.
  &quot;Isn't it beautiful?&quot; I nodded toward the sun.
  &quot;Very beautiful.&quot; He said but he was still looking at me as he said it.
  I turned to him. &quot;I am speaking of the sunrise, Lucian.&quot;
  &quot;I see nothing but you right now.&quot;

  &quot;I don't know yet but I am sure you will be of great use.&quot;
  Good lord, his voice. It reached deep inside her and made
