The closer the palace workers got to our vehicle, the more anxious I became.

stepped inside. “I only have one rule for you, Rosalie.” Ethan said, leaning closer to me, the feeling of his
breath against my neck sending chills across my skin. “Stay with Vicky or Talon, always. Trust no
one else. Do you understand?“. I nodded my head, and as I did, the car door opened. Ethan stepped out
first, and
then turned toward me, offering me his hand to allow me to exit. However, as soon as I was out, he stepp
