XADEN POV
Back to the present day, the morning following the banquet…
Morning had finally come, bringing an end to that ridiculously long banquet, and I wasted no time in hurrying over to the palace training room. My body thrummed with pent-up tension, threatening to burst if left unattended. It had been a good while since my last training session and, after the tumultuous events of the previous day, I’d figured there was no better time like the present.
I was ready to destroy something. Cover the training room with blood and tears if that was what it took to calm myself down.
I was not jealous. Far from it. I descended from the greatest alpha bloodline in the entire damn kingdom. But hearing that scoundrel Nicholas speak so boldly about Maeve like that… did things to me.
