---- Chapter 230 Zariyans POV It's been two days, I have been sulking in my bed.

I refuse to go downstairs to eat food or do any of my trainings.

Usually dad comes to convince me when I thow a tantrum like this.

But this time....he hasn't.

Tt hurts...

it hurts so damn much.

Why doesn't he understand that I don't want to get married to a man I have never met! A Cret on top of all of that.

Thave a lot of things to do...

T have to search for mom...

help people...and even search for my mate...

T know it sounds stupid...

To be honest I don't believe in love and all those stupid things.

---- eee But still if someone is waiting for me...

I too want to wait for him Princess, how do you want me to make your hair today? A side braid or perhaps a high ponytail.

Jenny asks, softly ranning a comb through my hair and I shrug my shoulders in indifference.

Do whatever you like Jen.

Its not like I am leaving my room today.

She catches the despair in my voice but doesn't point it out.

Umm I think a side braid with fresh petinias from the garden would look perfect I wriggle my hands resting on my lap and decide to ask her a question.

She was softly humming a tune and looked too engrossed with my hair.

Jenny.

Can I ask you something? Anything princess.

---- o Do you...

do you know who he is She catches my eyes in the mirror and furrows her brows.

He? Who are you - oh! Realisation floods her soft blue eyes.

You mean the suitor your highness has seen for you? Damien Von Theodore.

The Cret leader and the best known warrior of the Southern Province.

He achieved this position by coming first in the Blood games for five consecutive years.

He not just broke a record but set one of his own.

Blood games...

Ihave heard of them.

Its like an annual conpetition where Crets and werewolves from all over the world come to fight for the first position.

They are the most deadlines yet the most celebrated games.

Lasked dad to not conduct them games considering ---- eee = so much innocent blood was being spilt but the council vetoed his vote.

The very thought of how brutal he must be win those games sent a shiver travel down my spine.

The thudding of my heart only worsens.

People usually consider him very standoffish but the few who know him literally sing his praises.

Your father first saw him when he was barely fourteen.noveldrama

He had lost his parents to a rogue attack and was all alone.

Your highness took him in and he has seen him grow all these years.

Trust your father Princess.

He wouldn't marrry you off to any random man.

My belief was faltering.

I didn't know who to trust anymore.

I was lost in my thoughts when I hear voices from behind and I cheer up instantly.

Zariiii!!! Fiza! Ari!
