Chapter 39: To Explain Everything

Taking herself out of her musings, Xenia looked up to see Darius signaling her to hop onto the horse. Like before, he rode on behind her, almost hugging her from behind as he bent forward to hold the horse's reins. 

"I guess the wedding will be off," Darius muttered, his hot breath almost touching Xenia's ear. From that gesture alone, she could already feel the hair at the back of her neck spring to life, a hard shiver ran down her spine as she tried to settle back into her seat. "A shame…"

Xenia blinked at his words. As much as she would like to admit otherwise, the King's words made sense. After all, who would want to continue a wedding with war looming over their heads? 

Still, wasn't that a good thing? It meant that Mineah was still safe for another day! And so was she… and yet that still wouldn't change the fact that she was still bound to marry the Vampire King in one way or another.
