To pass the time I decide to explore more of the castle, wandering through the passages and looking at the paintings. I find myself in a corridor that seems less travelled than the rest and the images here are incredibly old.
I couldn't control the smile that spread over my face when he caught my kiss. It was such a sweet and impulsive gesture it made me melt. I sent it on reflex because the sight of him in tight jeans and a tank shirt, showing off his muscles and all covered in oil, set my core on fire and I lost control for a second.
“Um Lilli, where are we going? Is this really a wise thing to be doing right now?”I know his concern is valid, but we need this.
I’m not failing her again!‘Bang!’ ‘Swoosh!’
His head snaps up and he stares at me. “What do you mean Lilli cut it with an arrow? I know obsidian is the hardest substance on Zodia, but no one can predict a bullets path as it le
They both exchange look, then Tony hands me the picture before speaking.“He did the same for us, said we three were the best bouncers he has ever had. By the sounds of it, he has bee
She smiles sadly, tears forming in her blue eyes, which she holds back with practised grace. I look a lot like my mother and for that I am incredibly grateful as I want nothing to do with my father. We share the same eyes and dark hair, but where she is slim and shapely, I have inherited my father’s bulk.
As I exit, and the door closes behind me I see Lucy hurrying back with Rex and Tony. I'm shocked to see them all here, the looks on their faces clearly show they were worried about me.&ldq
Lance. “Ouch! Will you be careful?! That Hurts!” The doctor is working on removing the arrow from my arm, but he is being especially rough about it. “Hold still, please your highness. It is embedded quite deeply into your muscle. If you wish to retain the full use of your arm, I suggest you stop complaining and sit still.” “Argh!” He pulls on it again, the pain is excruciating, this is the sec
“Very well. Drake I formally accept your request to marry my daughter and once Lilliana resumes her duties you will accompany her to enable you to learn how you can best support her. Rex and Tony are to become your personal security detail and I hope that this will prove to be a much more harmonious arrangement.”I cannot help but laugh at the last part and from his smile I can see my father sees the funny side too.“Thank you, father. I promise to make you proud.”“I know you will Lilliana, that is all I wanted to discuss with you all for now, you may do whatever you wish from here until things are settled once more.”At my father’s dismissal we leave the parlour and Tony hands Jacob back to me. I decide to go to my room, so I lead Drake and the others upstairs. Upon entering my room, I can tell immediately that it’s been kept clean and just as I left it, which is both a relief and a little sad, knowing that they believed me dead. “Here, I will take the little lad to our room and we
“Not to worry, it will take time, but he will become comfortable with us.”“Drake, would you like to meet him properly?”
I'm frozen in shock after my father finishes speaking, it's all I can do to hold tightly to Drake's hand, whilst holding a sleeping Jacob in my arms. Can this all truly be real? Or am
To have her in my arms again is amazing, I feel whole again, it's simply incredible. I never want to let her go; never again do I want to be separated from her. I feel her begin to shake a little and I realise that she is finally allowing herself to relax, I press my face into the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent. She smells different, like pine and fresh spring water.
After the deep cold and darkness that took over my body when I was shot the first thing, I feel is warmth. It's a strange warmth not, like a blanket or a warm bath but, drier more intense.
I throw myself off the cliff as I hear Rex and Tony yelling at me, terror in their voices. I am falling but I feel no fear of losing my life, instead I feel a change sweeping my body, everything feels stretched, but it’s as though a hidden piece of my soul has been unlocked.
I wake to a black wet nose in my face and hideous dog breath, that almost makes me pass out.“Ugh oh wow, Fang blagh go away I can't breathe.”
“I did do my job you’re the one who pointed a gun at us and killed her.”“How dare you?! That is slander and I will not stand for it!”
