USHER'S POV I still can't believe I knelt to apologize to a pair of morons. I chose to damage my reputation just to keep living here, to keep this room that is close to Hayden's. The same man that didn't care that his Father was forcing me to embarrass myself! According to them, snapping at servants is a big issue, as if their job isn't to serve us. I have a feeling that making me kneel was the King's way of punishing me for the lies I told him. Those lies earned me this room. They could have earned me five hundred years of life if only my sister isn't so determined to live. Someone who grew up in some forest and only came here to steal is now being considered suitable for the Queen's crown. Mate bonds are absolute crap! How could someone as perfect as Hayden be paired
