<h4>Chapter 28: FINAL DESTINATION</h4>


    The journey continued ahead.


    I was getting tired. Most restless from sitting at the back of the carriage and doing nothing.


    After Xaden had saved me, he didn''t say a word to me. He ignored me, as usual.


    It was getting dark, and the horses and carriage stopped.


    I could hear mening down from their horses.


    I looked out of the window to see where I was.


    I saw we were insiderge walls, and I couldn''t see much.


    The only way I could was to stretch my head further out of the window, which I didn''t consider.


    The carriage door was flung open, and then I saw Erik.


    "We''ve arrived." He said. "Come down."


    I came down and saw that I stood before avish castle.


    I was nothing like our own.


    The entire wall was made of white.


    People were bustling around the castle walls.


    It was cold but beautiful.


    There were no flowers in sight, not even trees.


    I wondered why.


    "Xaden!"


    I saw a beautiful woman with brown haire down the steps.


    She had on male pants and a neckline that showed her cleavage.


    Then she threw her arms around him.


    I wanted to look away, but my eyes were stuck on them.


    Then she let go, and the look she gave him was that of a lover''s.


    "I missed you." She said.


    I shifted ufortably.


    "What happened? You took too long." She asked.


    "There was some dy." He said.


    Then she turned and noticed me.


    She looked me up and down, and her face screwed up. I knew she hated me.


    "Who is this?" She asked him.


    "It''s Bale''s daughter," Xaden said. "She is going to be staying with us for a while."


    Was he going to tell anyone that we were married? Bonded.


    The energy I received from this woman was like that of a lover.


    "You brought our enemies, daughter?! Here! And alive!" She said it in shock.


    "No, your ce, Aurora!" He warned her.


    She kept quiet and looked down at her feet.


    "I apologize," she said.


    He turned away.


    Who was she to him?


    "Take her down to her cell," Xaden said. She would be there until it was time for the test of her family bloodline."


    My heart stopped.


    He had said that he would carry out a test that would alter my blood connectors with my father to hinder anymunication.


    But there was no need.


    I was atent wolf.


    The girl walked up to me and sized me.


    "Your father killed my family." She said.


    There were so many things I was unaware my father had done.


    She grabbed my arm and dug her nails into it so much that it bled.


    "Wee to the crescent pack, " she said with a smile. You haven''t seen anything yet, and I promise to make your life miserable."


    I turned and saw Erik looking at me, and then he turned away.


    Xaden was already gone.


    She dragged me, and I looked upwards towards what was going to be my new home for a very long time.


    I was going to spy on Xaden for my father.
