*Alastair Pov*I woke up to see her still cuddled with me and I couldn’t even have a will to wake her up so that I can reach the training. My wounds were not that severe for me to even ignore my duties of training my fellow mates and also the work given by the King.But to my stupidity, I actually left all those for a week just to be with the woman who is lying beside me. How can I be that ignorant that I am stepping away from my responsibilities for a mere woman who is still with a wish to leave this land and go to heavens knows what place?With a jerk I moved her away and climbed down from the bed while she slowly woke up because of my push. She sat up and mumbled “Why are you awake? There is still time for morning food, right?”“I need to go for training.” I replied, taking the tunic from the apparel’s and wore it.“But you are wounded, right?” She questioned, turning to look at me.“I am perfectly fine.” I replied, not glancing at her.“Are you sure? Do you wish for me to help wit
*Bhairavi Pov*As I was in the middle of contemplating the words uttered by Alastair who is standing before me, he crushed his lips to mine while I asked him to repeat the words again making me still in my position.He pulled me near to him and plunged his tongue inside holding my face and I felt like I am about to fall down either due to confusion or due the feel enveloping me from inside.However, I know for a surety that he shouldn’t be doing this and I shouldn’t be allowing it so I pushed him away, taking him with surprise and stared at him while he stared back with a victory look.Then I glanced behind him to see all the people around and from the food place walked outside and are staring at the scene along with Colton. He did it with an audience, making me feel the rage towards him forgetting whatever the flutter of feeling I felt towards him.“How dare you?” I questioned stepping near him.“What?” he questioned back in confusion.I pulled out the sword he had near him and point
*Bhairavi Pov*“What are you doing here?” Alastair questioned when I stepped near their training.I glanced at him and saw that he has an irritated expression on his face about which I have no doubt as I am not uttering any word to him from the day before when he informed about his heart.“What is taking you so long? If it is going to get more late, I will leave for the food place myself.” I asked Colton ignoring his question.“He is taking out his irritation with us.” Colton whispered but everyone heard it.I can understand that because it is past the timing than everyday and everyone must be feeling hunger, but because of him they couldn’t walk away from here.“Alastair! I am feeling hungry. Can we both have our food?” I asked him while he just glared at me.“She is asking about you both, Alastair.” Colton added to my words and pleaded me with his eyes to nod and I did.“Let’s go!” he immediately accepted and walked towards me.“Shall we go to our hut?” Alastair asked, holding my ha
*Bhairavi Pov*“You have been quite all the day. What is going on in your head?” Colton asked while I continued to stare around the land with the decision still hovering over me to make.“I will ask you a crucial question and will you reply to me with indifference. I mean in a way which you will be with complete honesty.” I replied and he nodded in a slow motion.“Will everyone here accept me to be his with their whole hearts?” I got out the question.“Not everyone! Few will still oblige with Jacey as she is the Princess and they know her from the time she was a wee baby. However, with the passing time they will accept you when they get to know you more and see you are the one for him.” He replied after a few moments.“Did everyone thought her to be his along with her?” I questioned him.“Yes! It seems to be the right thing as no one else was around to be a perfect queen of this land other than her as she is already a Princess and even Gavin would be happy if Alastair made his sister
*Bhairavi Pov*I can feel his eyes on me and I smiled, letting him know that I am also awake, but didn’t open my eyelids waiting to see what he will do.“I have to go for training.” He whispered in my ear.“I am not stopping you.” I whispered back still clinging to him.“Yeah! And I am the ruler of heaven.” He mumbled but didn’t leave his hold of me.He started kissing my throat and started pulling the gown down from one of the shoulder blades, but I stopped him at one moment. He didn’t utter anything but pestered the kisses over my bust which is little bare before him.“I will continue if you do not leave me.” He threatened but continued his kisses and I smiled while gasping and sighed.“Why do you even need to train each day? Can’t you guys take a few days rest?” I questioned him with a frown.“I cannot take the leave as already everyone are having talks about you and if I skip this then they will increase.” He replied and I opened my eyes in a blink and stared at him while he stare
#After few weeks#*Alastair Pov*I woke up with the feel of her clinging to me making me excited within the passing of a few moments. Before I felt a little thought of wanting her and know I shouldn’t compromise a person who doesn’t want to but now even after all these weeks I still want her.Groaning to myself, I moved her slightly along with kissing on her shoulder allowing my lips to place on her skin, but she stopped holding my head saying “Don’t even think about it. I am tired so let me sleep.”“But I am aroused.” I whispered in her ear and tried to move her.“I know that! Go and have a bath and you will be fine.” She mumbled with sleepiness in her tone.“I can’t! Without training we don’t do baths.” I pointed out which she already knows.“If you cannot then train them like this only. But now I am saying no so it is no.” She said in a strict tone and I sighed because I shouldn’t force her.After having a long bath at the men’s side of the water part, I walked near the training gr
*Bhairavi Pov*“Thanks for the massage, Bhairavi.” Colton mumbled in gratitude before taking his arms back.“I can see the bruises over everyone’s arms for the past few days. What is happening?” I questioned him and glanced around waiting for Alastair to return for food.“We all are training for the future battle which would happen when the council will send an army as they know our location.” Colton explained making me frown.“But they would send the army belonging to the near lands so we are for victory as they all are weak.” He added and I felt relieved that no one will be hurt.“Where is he?” I inquired about Alastair.“He is still training himself. He is taking it hard.” Colton whispered.“I will go and see.” I mumbled standing up.“Leave him alone! Do not disturb his training.” Gavin uttered stopping me and I sighed.Everyone thinks that he has changed and accepted me, but he didn’t if I trust my gut than my eyes. He is like letting the moments pass and jump at the advantage he
*Bhairavi Pov*I threw the sword away and removed the cloth covering my face breathing in relief that no one from her Kingdom found her or doubted her.I do not want to go anywhere leaving Alastair. I waited for sometime before stepping outside and walked near to the chambers.I asked about the king from the few women standing near the doors and they replied him to be taken care of with the medical help and his family is inside.I glanced around to see that most of the men are staring at me and then Alastair stepped outside before glancing at me. He strolled near to me with a hard look while I frowned.He placed his hand around me and pulling my hair, making me stare into eyes asking “Tell me I am wrong. Tell me I am wrong that you are not the one whom we saw in the war place.”Now I understood why they are staring at me like that and I slowly nodded saying “It was me. But…”He cut me off pushing me away by force and let out many curses with his face becoming red.“All this time I tho
*Melody Pov*"Many people are coming here to learn from you about the herbs and medicines." Bess said amazed."Well when I retire from this duty, you can teach them everything." I said smiling."No Melody! You are great at it and I am myself a student to you all these three years." Bess said shaking her head."And you got to know everything. Now you are more than capable than you give yourself credit for." I said and she slowly nodded her head."Do not talk to me!" We heard Amy shouting and turned to see Juan pleading her."What happened?" I asked her smiling knowing fully well that it is another fight which will not happen for more than few minutes."He wants me to cook for him some sweets again." Amy whined."But I love them and I want to have them." Juan whined back."You shouldn't eat those many. It is ill for you." Bess said."That is what the problem is. He doesn't eat them. He just uses them to lure all the guards to train properly. He is getting his way in his work easily but
*Melody Pov*"So he was trying to make me jealous?" I asked Juan again."Yes! I just replied to his question that I once did it to Amy but I never thought he would do it with you." Juan replied."Thanks for letting me know." I said ashamed of myself but he was also at fault."Can you tell Amy to talk to me?" Juan requested gesturing to Amy who is looking away from us holding my Son."I will but you need to help me." I replied."What is it?" He asked."Today we are moving to new palace right? You need to somehow inform Kendrick like you just got to know the news that I am planning to take a big chamber for myself and place our son in the connecting room to it." I replied."He will kill me and you." Juan said shaking his head."Then Amy will not marry you." I said."Amy will marry me?" He asked smiling."Yes! But you need to do this." I replied.He sighed and left the room while Amy stood before me with a glare. I smiled at her took my Son so that he will not hear her shouts very near.
*Kendrick Pov*"Why are we having a stroll today?" Melody questioned me confused."I wanted to spend some time." I replied and she glanced at me surprised.I placed my arm around her and pulled her towards me while she just stiffened with wide eyes glancing at me."You shouldn't! This is not a private place." She whispered looking around."I am holding my wife and I am sure there is nothing wrong in that." I said with a shrug."I.. I.." she just trailed of and must be not knowing what to utter.She looked quite cute so I placed a small peck on her cheek and her eyes widened even more."King Kendrick! I need to go." Saying that she released herself from my grip and walked away.All these days I have been trying to show that I like her but she is distancing herself from me again.I walked towards Juan who is training Shan and smiled at them. Shan is working really hard and Juan is pushing him so much."Sir! I can't breathe." Saying that Shan backed away."You need to always prepare Shan
*Melody Pov*"Melody! Your Father is going to be here." Hearing those words I stopped my smile which didn't left my face from the time I have seen my Son.I held him closely to me and glanced at Amy asking "Why?""To meet your Son. The message was immediately sent to Velimar when the Prince was born." She replied gesturing to my Son who is nearly one week sleeping in my arms."No! I do not want him to meet anyone." I said shaking my head."We have no say in that. And even the King's parents didn't meet the new Prince as you were tired this one whole week with weakness." Amy said."Tell them that I am tired and retiring to bed." Saying those words I laid down holding my son in my arms."I will inform them." Mumbling Amy left my room.I sighed and caressed my son's scalp smiling at his sleeping form. Then I heard the door open and glanced up to see that it is Kendrick."Are you not feeling well?" He asked frowning."Why?" I asked him."Amy said....." he couldn't finish his sentence as w
*Melody Pov*After he left closing the door behind him, I lay down thinking about what he said. I can understand his fear for his child.And he did not even know I know about the herbs and medicines. So I cannot blame him.But he could have not raised his voice in that manner. When he was talking I can hear the hurt he felt when I didn't trust him making my heart pain that I had hurt him.As I was feeling little more uncomfortable I asked all of them to leave after making him know that I am not hurting our Child.Tomorrow I need to talk to him. I thought and tried to drift off into sleep but I did after long time.I opened my eyes when I suddenly felt a strong kick from inside not like everyday. Felling them I remember how Kendrick placed his hands on my bump to feel it even when he was mad at me without talking to me.I felt it again and suddenly pain started in high level. I glanced outside to see that it is already morning.I tried to get up but I just couldn't feeling more pain at
*Melody Pov*I walked inside his chamber and saw that he is already asleep. With a sigh I carefully walked near his bed and lay down beside him.Taking a hold of his hand which was on my pillow I made him hold me. Hearing his breathing I know for a surety that he is fully awake."I know you are not sleeping. But hear me completely." I said holding his hand."I was about to inform you about everything but you had to leave the Kingdom. I thought of doing it after you return.. but you already knew when you did." I uttered hoping he will understand a little.When he removed his hand from my hold and turned his back to my sight, I gave up from trying anymore. I have been doing the same for few days but he is still upset and angry.Today I didn't even waited for him to drift off and walked inside my room leaving his chamber hoping he will get the message that I give up."Until when?" Amy asked choosing a gown for the day."I do not know." I replied feeling uncomfortable in my breathing."Fo
*Melody Pov*"Albert is not going to visit this week. He sent a messenger today." Kendrick said and I nodded at him letting him hold me."Why is he postponing? From one month he is doing the same?" I asked him frowning."I do not know. Maybe he got caught up with something." He replied shrugging.He says something everyday before drifting off and I too started conveying whatever I wish to say a little regarding the matters he speak to me."Ok! I am going to sleep so you can go to your room like everyday after that." He abruptly uttered making me gaze at him in shock."What? Did you really think I wouldn't know? Maybe not at the beginning but later I realized it." Replying to my unasked question."I know you may need time or you are not even comfortable with me. I can understand." He added before drifting off into sleep.I just lay there awake for sometime and returned to my room through which I walked inside. This one week I begin using our connecting door.I didn't get even ounce of
*Melody Pov*"So you got to know what actually happened." I Questioned Amy when we were taking our late morning stroll."Yes! I was wrong in judging him before even knowing what happened." Amy replied looking away."He understands you and that's all you need." I said patting her hand."What about you?" She asked staring at me."What do you mean?" I questioned her confused."Why don't you tell him what happened? Your nightmares will reduce." She replied."Today he heard my nightmares but I couldn't bring myself forward to tell him everything." I said remembering today morning."But why? He is a kind guy." Amy pestered."You don't know Amy. He may be kind for now but in the end we can't ignore the fact that he is a man and also a King who gives importance to their duties and responsibilities." I uttered in stern voice."But..." she started to say but I cut her off saying "He already said he may not even be fond of me in near future as he nearly hated me before our wedding that he was re
*Melody Pov*I slowly walked towards his chamber main door but not the connecting door. I will stay outside his chamber and after knowing what he wants to say I will return to mine.Determining that thought I knocked on his door and he opened it few minutes later. I saw that he changed into comfortable clothes.He moved little back gesturing for me to move inside. I nodded entering against my determination which I made before knocking on the door.Then I felt him closing the door after I passed him. I turned abruptly around to see that he bolted the door.Calm down Melody! He will not hurt you. I thought slowly breathing."You asked for my presence King..." I couldn't finish my words as I felt his lips on mine.I didn't expect this in any sense and remaining senses left me when I felt him kissing me slowly. I couldn't help but just stay in my roots in shock.Releasing me he pressed his forehead to mine while I closed my eyes hiding away from his gaze. I slowly felt his hand on my smal
