"History isn’t repeating itself!" It was the first time I heard Ariana speak louder than the Princess rulebook dictated. "They are mates. You shouldn’t try to come between them!" Smart response but now, all I could focus on was Ariana who the king jilted and what she had to do with Marcella's paranoia. "I see how well their mating has come. Don't you?" She jerked her head to my reddened neck. Coming out for air turned out to be a bad idea. I wanted to scream at Marcella for being so cruel. The mark still hurt physically and emotionally and having someone poke fun at it was wicked but alas, my voice couldn’t rise above a scratched so I kept mute, watching Zion freeze and unfreeze as the mother and daughter duo argued before us. "Marcella, I'm giving you one minute to get out of here."
