Happy Forever Sunday!

"The opposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual opposite of love is apathy. When you don't care a damn as to what happens to the other person."

Gideon's POV

I averted my eyes to the rising sun from the horizons; the darkness of dawn is still lingering at the corners of sky as the light started to invade the rule of murk. My mind drifted back to my light which must be sleeping peacefully.

I had Revin there, to inform me when she is up and asked him to keep her with Tiara at their place.

I averted my eyes at Raymond's voice which slit the silence into pieces.

"I have heard she was at Revin's last night?" Raymond stated, I was wondering how this topic he hasn't raised till now.

I was starting to doubt his sources, but it is all clear after his query.

"Tiara."

"Yes she went there but Niera was there with her. She not only saved her but also held a good stand against her." Baron boosted with a proud face.

Now I was certain, Revin briefed him the whole incident. I allowed myself to lean a little against the comfortable sofa but it failed to provide me even the fragment of comfort, my mate could provide me.

"Not only this, she also became a prime target in her eyes." Raymond spoke earning a growl from me. Silence prevailed after that, as I tried to compose while he sat stiff awaiting a storm coming his way.

It was a task to pursue Royce but in front of the gravity of situation, I composed us both.

"Raymond is absolutely right here, Majesty." Gerard voiced after a long time. My steely gaze went to him but much to my dismay, he was calm and composed like the ice frozen in the depth of ocean.

We both knew he has to keep his composure when it's impossible to keep mine.

We kept each other's gaze before it went to Raymond who initiated to speak.

"My apologies Majesty. But to save this disaster, you were putting all your guards up but ended in her being a prime victim. Already Miss. William's being a human was serving as a lethal disadvantage against her. Now she has opened herself to Lamia and riling up her in the process of saving Jerry's Niece. She has left herself vulnerable to Lamia's eye." He explained as a matter of fact.

Lamia, the name itself is sufficient to enrage me.

My fist curved into a ball at the pronunciation of her name, it feels like poison in the air.

I shifted my eyes back to the glittering sky with fading clouds which was welcoming the sunny day.

It was our initial planning to keep Niera away from the Vampire Representative because if kept her in open, it won't only put her to peril but also bring a huge question in their mind about the entry of forbidden specie in Kingdom.
