Rule #2 for a demon princess: Never show mercy.

When I find out that my fated mates and I have been kidnapped by a foreign king, I quickly make rule #2 my new mantra. This is especially the case after the king declares he intends to make me his bride. I already have one arrogant royal in my harem, and the last thing I need is another.

Time to make a plan:

Step 1: Free Shade from the cage

Step 2: Find my mates and make sure they dont die

Step 3: Destroy the wedding I never agreed to

Step 4: Get our asses back to Seral

Sounds simple, right? Except Im still wrapping my head around the fact that some of the Persalians survived, and the more secrets I unravel, the more I realize how blind Ive been. If my mates and I are going to get out of this, well have to learn to trust one another and stop being at each others throats. Luckily, theyre even better at following rule #2 than I am. Never. Show. Mercy.
