Matthew's POV:-
"She is crazy , I am going home. "
Her lips curved up into the most adorable smile. And I knew I am not getting away from this.
"Did she visit your dreams?" she asked gently. "Yep." I let out a long sigh. "She talked about re-incarnations." She nodded her head as I continued , " I just.." I shrugged not knowing what to say. She gently held my hand, "I get it.... I am scared too. "My eyes shot up at her. "But we are together." she continued ,"We'll get through this together babe. "
I nod my head as she gently pulls me back to the house.
"Welcome back Prince! Don't you get tired running away always? I think it's time not to run anymore." Samantha spoke with a smile on her face.
I didn't reply.... I didn't want to talk to her I know it's childish but I don't want to have conversation with her. So I am avoiding her.

Saraphina's POV:-
Matthew has been awfully quite.... I don't know what is going through his head.... but I can feel he is tensed. I gently hold his hand to which he relaxes a little bit. But he is still not responding to anyone's questions.
We were all showed to our rooms and Matt and I were sharing room . It was beautiful.
"I'll initiate the ritual tomorrow, you both can share this room. There's just one thing ." Samantha spoke drawing aside the window curtain. "Okay." I reply. "Don't make love before the ritual." She said looking at us with a serious face.
"Please...just follow this one rule , the punishment is severe if you break it . You might be Winter King's son but he too bows down to goddess Alma." She spoke to Matthew. "I understand." he replied.
Samantha gently touched Matthew's hand , he flinches but didn't pull his hand away.
"I don't want to harm you. I am a friend I promise." Samantha urged. He didn't reply , just nodded his head.
"Samantha , thank you so much this means a lot to us." I spoke up breaking the tension.
"Oh not a problem young lady, you my dear are as beautiful as your mother and as daring and brave as your father. I couldn't dream of a better match for the prince."
After Samantha left the room. I turn to look at Matthew. "So what's up?"
He just shrugged! Can you believe he choose not to reply to me..... He just shrugged.....well not happening. I gently pulled him to face me a kissed his lips......Fuck! He didn't kiss back..... Now I am hurt..... I pout.... He cupped my face in his hand.
"No intimacy till the union ritual is done." I roll my eyes. " Duh!! It's no s*x but we can go upto 3rd base make out.... you just can't put your d**k inside my kitty cat." "Kitty cat?" he looked up at me with and arched eyebrow and amused smile. "Yes the gates-"
Before I could complete my sentence , his lips came crashing down on mine. There was so much emotion in this kiss. He broke the kiss to pull me into his arms. "I am scared babe."
"Me too babe ..... but we'll get through together."
"Yes we will." he replied trying to convince himself. "You have to tell me about your dream Matthew. Can you do that?". "Yes."
"These are just bits and pieces that I see."
"Okay."
