REX’S POV

My first instinct was to protect her at any cause after everything that unfolded a few weeks ago. I dashed toward the door in alarm, turning the knot and shoving it upon with an equal amount of strength.

I made a move to enter into the room but I froze at the sight before me. At that instead I realised I had made a huge mistake of not knocking at the door first.

Joan stood frozen in front of the floor length mirror, clad in nothing but a piece of towel and another covering her hair. By all indications she had just had her bath and was getting ready for bed when I interrupted.

“Uhh…… I thought, never mind” I stuttered. Any other person would have get out after saying that and close the door behind them but even after I uttered those words, I was still hanging by the door, my eyes never leaving her form even to blink.

“Can I help you with something” she uttered after wearing off from her shock.

“Actually….yes. I wanted a glass of water” I requested just to cover up and not ma

    REX’S POVI told her everything. Every bit of thing that I have never told anyone, not even my mother. One single reassuring look at her I was pouring my hate out to her. It was surprising cause I never really did this with anyone, even my own mother had to press in multiple times before I tell her anything that was worrying me but here I was, telling my mate voluntary after just asking once.For years I have been battling in silence, not been able to sleep have really taken a toll on me than I care to admit. It have affected most part of my life. “And you made no attempt to correct that. Why?” Joan asked, her eyes solely focus on me, not wanting to miss any of my expression I guess.We have been deeply conversing for hours on end, with she asking most of the question while I answer them the best way I could without coming off as not enthusiastic. The night have long gone and we are roughly approaching the early hours of the morning. I was really tempted to tell her to go to bed but

    JOAN’S POVI blinked then slowly opened my eyes, letting light through it. Something on the tip of my heart was really pushing me to get up, like there was something important, very much so that I was forgetting but I just couldn’t. I was too damn tired to even move my hand and my eyelids began to close back on their own accord.God I felt awfully tired, like I just blinked and then it was morning. I was uncomfortably laying down my my hand so I made a move to shift it away from under the weight that is my body but something else from above was pressing me down. A really having thing at that, made me wondered if pillows have suddenly decided to become heavy overnight.That she probably be alarming enough to get me on my feet but I shrugged it off and continued sleeping, hoping to catch a few hours of peaceful doze before someone would wake me. At least that was what I hoped for until the weight of my upper body moved. I could really accommodate the fact that pillows had decided to gai

    REX’S POVI slept. I have sleep through out the night without awaken by a single nightmare. All she did was lay close to me and that’s it. She took away every bit of sorrow and burden that came with my sleep. Was that really how the bond of mates is? Going just beyond the facade and even deep into one’s emotional journey?.For the first time in what seemed like forever, I felt well rested and refreshed. Almost like a new person. When I first woke up on my bed. It took me a few seconds to realised what had just happened. To realised that I have slept and wake up on my own accord not by a nightmare. I looked around the room for any sign of her but realized she had left and judging by the coldness on the side of her bed, she has left a while ago but her scent lingers around the room showing that she have been in here.I slowly slid out of the bed, still yet to wrap my head around the fact that I had actually just slept. A peaceful and nightmare free sleep. Something I haven’t done in yea

    JOAN’S POVI have honestly forgotten the last time I have felt this immersed amount of joy. He told me “thank you”. For what? I wasn’t sure but I felt like it was meant to gratify every single thing I had ever done right to him. Just that single word from him managed to be the source of my happiness for the entire day. It has even managed to get me out of the hip of embarrassment I felt after interrupting their conversation with Tyler.If the smile clad on my face as I moved toward the kitchen with the breakfast tray was not an indication of my happy mood then I surely don’t know what is. It’s crazy how just a single word from a person could make you feel all these giddy and amount of warmth inside. The entire mating stuff is crazy really but I am not complaining, especially not now.Absolutely nothing could turn my mood foul, not even Stephen and her overdramatic gestures. Just thinking about her reminded me I was supposed to meet with her today. Apparently, Iris was down to earth on

    JOAN’S POVNothing made sense. A hundred and one thoughts were rummaging through my mind trying to make sense to what have just happened. No matter how much I tried, how much I dig through my head, it just didn’t make sense. The Queen is dead and nothing could have brought her back here. I have watched with my own eyes as she was lowered to the ground. I was a living witness.For as long as I could not even remember, I stood there for no particular reason. Too shocked to make a move, heck what was I even doing here in the first place. When I finally gathered enough courage to turn my head toward her retreating back, she has rounded the corner and was no where in sight. My eyes falling to the floor, just to follow the trail of blood she had just left but to my outmost surprise, nothing was on the floor. Not even a single tiniest drop of red liquid. My shock was doubled and for a moment I began to wonder if maybe I had just imagined it. Beside, nothing around me proved that a strange w

I will stop by your room tonight when I am done with my duties. This need to be gone through and discussed thoroughly, understood?” She arched her brow at me while pointing her finger at my forehead.I swallowed hard. And here I was thinking I had finally found a way to rid myself of her. “Yeah” I replied or more like mumbled before following behind the guard while she get back down on the bench and continue to go through the flowers. Seemed like she had found a favorite place.Wordlessly, I followed behind the guard until we are in front of Rex’s room. I had be wondering why he was looking for me.

    JOAN’S POVIris was right.Both Stephen and I had been totally misunderstanding each other. We both were on different pages and refusing to settle down and see that we both are at fault and find a solution that would have worked for us both.While I was thinking that since everyone else had forgiven me and let go of the past then it was actually not a big deal, Stephen was thinking I should have told her before I left, if not for anything, then for the fact that she was family. I should have raised her value above others. I was right on my own side and she too was very much right on her’s. We both had a valid point that should have been solved if we had sat down and communicated through.Nevertheless, that was exactly what we were doing while we sit in the garden, side by side and looking at each other with genuine love.
