His words reignited that illicit desire within me. I used all my willpower to pull free, and turning, I faced him. “He commanded you as my bodyguard, which means your job is to follow me around wherever I go. Right now, I am going to go see Charlene, and then I’m going to visit Raiden. Mess up and interfere in what I do, and I swear I’ll tell the king that I don’t want you as my guard.” I replied, warning him. Theon frowned, glaring coldly at me. “Yeah, the only thing is the king said you are not to see Charlene until he has had a word with the Luna.”

My heart skipped a beat.

No. I needed to tell Charlene first, before the king.

“Well then, guess what?” I whispered, stepping closer to him, planning to throw him off guard, but he didn’t fall for it, frowning and grabbing hold of my arm and holding me at arm’s length.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

Shame it didn’t work.

“What are you trying to pull?” I shrugged, pulling free and turning away. i “Nothing at all, just no one can stop me from seeing Charlene.” With those words leaving my lips, I broke into a run. “Yileyna! This is not a fucking game.” Theon growled.

“Well then, don’t try to stop me!” I shouted back.

I ignored the looks of contempt, disapproval, and irritation as I rushed through the halls, weaving through other people. Being smaller than Theon gave me the advantage, and I was able to get by a lot easier. “Yileyna!”

He was pissed, I could hear it in his voice. 2

I couldn’t stop now; I just wish there was a way I could mind link Charlene… I needed to find someone who would do it for me…

I rushed out onto one of the open balconies and grabbing the rail, I flipped over the edge and dropped onto the balcony floor below, quickly pushing the doors to the adjoining room open. I looked around, my heart thumping, I was in one of the side library rooms. I felt relieved, spotting one of the elder guards looking through some scrolls. He looked slightly curious to see me before it changed into one of suspicion.

“Sir…” I couldn’t remember his name. “Sorry for intruding in like this, I was looking for the princess.” “Hmm?”

“Could you mind link her and tell her Gamma Raiden is allowed to have visitors and to bring the daises?”

Bring the daises – a code we used as a child, I just hoped she remembered it and came immediately.

He looked at me for a moment, and I gave him the most innocent smile I could muster, batting my eyelashes, He cleared his throat, turning a little red before he turned away. “Ok, ok.” He went silent. I knew he was mind-linking her, but I also knew Theon would find me at any minute. “She said right away.”

Perfect.

“Thank you.” I almost exhaled in relief.

I went back out onto the balcony, gasping as Theon landed in front of me, his eyes blazing gold. My heart thumped, and not wanting to alert the guard, I smiled at Theon.

“Theon! You found me.” I said cheerily. “Come on, let’s go see Raiden at the hospital.”
