Junia's pov.
I stared up at my ceiling. It is crazy how much some friends turned against each other.
Astrax and Ishkara were no true friends to themselves.
I already explained to Zarielle and I have a back up plan I didn't tell Ishkara about, I don't trust her at all because she might be with Astrax.
I won't be fooled by them.
My mind drifted to Ashmaris, we had argued twice today. And each of them seems to pull us apart. My heart aches in a way that I haven't felt before.
I knew I couldn't choose him, not after all that had happened. I have to side with my kingdom, either being mates or not.
A tear rolled down the sides of my face, I didn't realize it until it touched my pillow.
I shook my head and thought about Astrax who tried to play victim thinking she would get me punished but only got embarrassed.
A small smile spread on my lips. It will be funny when she thought she had tricked me but then realized that she had fallen into her own trap.
I can't wait to see her face.
