"Did you think that I would marry you instead of her? C'mon, you are only an orphan. No one knows where you originate from," Vickson's words kept repeating in Hailey's head after he had just embarrassed her by choosing her stepsister as his mate instead.
As if that was not enough for him, he still forced himself on her. And Hailey is blamed by her adoptive mother, as she forces the both of them to get married. She didn't want to bear the shame of what people would say.
But her stepsister, Ava, would rather die than watch the two of them live in peace as husband and wife….
Ava becomes their worst nightmare!

Now what was I to do? I was far away from home, miles and stretches away from my abode and the people who meant the world to me. The crystal cave continued to Grace and, oblivious to what was going on around it, to the pain in our chest and the strive in our minds.


 I looked around me, but there was no one to run to and no one to defend me. It's either I accept The gatekeeper's challenge or everything remains stuck. By being stuck, I wasn't in any way referring to my memories, there would be no way for us to go home. And the evil beings released by Marcus would penetrate deeper into our world and tear it apart. 


"You are taking too much of our Time lady Haley," the gatekeeper's voice was soft and slavery and I was sure I caught a glimpse of sarcasm in it. They were eyes everywhere here—they could see through us, they could read our minds. They knew there was no other way for us to return home, right now we were pawns in their games of power and magical manipulation.
