You and Kai grew unmistakably close over the past fews months. Especially during the Trials and balls. Training and having small flirty banter moments.

But, you slowly began to have feelings for him. And you knew he had feelings for you as well. But, it couldn’t happen. Especially since you were an Ordinary, which was a secret. And he was an Elite.

The Enforcer, the one who rids Ilya from the Ordinaries. He’s the hunter and you were the hunted. It wouldn’t, couldn’t work. But, was his love for you strong enough to not care that you’re an Ordinary?

So, during the ball. Wearing a black lace dress. Dancing with Kitt, Kai’s brother and some others. Before you saw Kai. Clutching his wine glass angrily.

His smoky grey eyes holding a storm within them. You gulped, quickly stepping back and making your way through the crowd of people.

He knew you were ignoring him, and he did not like it. In fact, he despised it. He downed the rest of his wine. Setting the glass down on a nearby table as he began to follow you.

“Prince Kai, a dance?” A lady asked but he just brushed right past her. His eyes locked on you. His mind was a bit foggy from the wine. A little drunk.

He saw that you didn’t know where else to go since you got to the edge of the garden where the ball was beging held and just smirked.

When you turned around, you nearly ran face first into his chest. Tilting your head back to see his stormy eyes staring down at you. A smirk on his lips.

The stupid dimples that you claimed to hate of full display. “You’ve been ignoring me, darling.” He said softly, but firmly.
