Candance's POV
He didn't find me in the woodland next to the castle this time. As he entered the ballroom, he grabbed me and pulled me away from Oakley. Alpha Thomas slammed me to the ground, and Oakley didn't seem to mind; he simply stood there and watched as I screamed in pain. While doing so, he struck me in the head, and blood gushed from the fracture in my flesh, staining my immaculate white clothing. The crown had disappeared after rolling off the skull.
I begged the people to stop as I desperately tried to get away from him, but as he watched me beg, his ominous grey eyes twinkled with mischief.
Even my mate didn't care to respond to my cry for assistance. They couldn't see me or hear me, as if I were there but in a different universe from them.
He threw the whip at me
