Chapter 27

• Things between Darren and I had been intense, but in the best of ways. It had been a few days since I came here, and tonight, there was going to be a banquet to introduce me as the future queen. I had to wait until the new moon to be crowned as the official queen. It had something to do with the moon goddess’ blessing and her accepting me as the queen.
• Darren has been busy for most of the day today. He went to the vault, determined to find answers about my family and the curse. He was now afraid of his anger, because he knew it caused me some discomfort. There were only a few minor incidents, but I could see the pain in his eyes. As soon as I help his emotions, he immediately clings to me, apologizing and checking to see if I’m okay. He even asked me not to accompany him as much, so I won’t suffer. But that was ridiculous. If I could help him and potentially save others from his anger, I would.
• Today turned the tables on Winifred and Milo’s relationship. Last night, they both retired early and she had gone to their room, something she hadn’t done in years. After the incident happened, she quit sleeping in the same room as Milo. It was now mid-afternoon, and the two of them still haven’t emerged. I thought it would be safe to say that the renewal of their relationship had been going well.
