The Hidden King and I Chapter 31
Anna's Point of view After a fantastic first night at the Fire pit, Ash pulls me into his arms as he whispers.“Come on, baby, Let's go home.”He pulls me outside into the waiting jeep before we make our way to his house, it's only a ten-minute drive from the Fire pit, and when we pull up outside, I immediately fall in love with the place. It's beautiful. A quaint little brick house within its own gated grounds after spending forty years locked away in a massive dark and dreary Palace, this house is perfect.Ash smiles as he turns to look at me as he asks. “So, what do you think of it from the outside?”I sigh as I reply. “It's beautiful, Ash.”He reaches out to take my hand in his as he says, “If you like the outside, just wait until you see the inside.”I take hold of his hand as he leads me to the front door; I let out a gasp as he opens the door. The house is much bigger than it looks from the outside; Jax explains how he renovated it. Extending it yet keeping with its original

Anna's point of viewThree weeks have passed, and Dylan is settling into school, although he's still not happy about it. He knows if he wants to stay with Ash at the Fire pit, then he must attend school.I'm having the time of my life; I love being at the house with Ash and Dylan. My favourite place is sitting in the kitchen overlooking the gardens. I've also found a love for cooking, remembering the meals my mum used to cook for me when I was a child.Good old-fashioned food, but then again, it was over fifty years ago.Ash often invites Stan and his wife over, along with Bear; of course, in the past couple of weeks, I've also become good friends with Stan's wife, Linda. It's good to have some female company in my life. After being separated from my mum and kept confined to the Palace, I've never really had any friends that I could call my own, I talked to a few of the Palace staff, but they were too scared of the King to make friends with me. Tonight, we have had all of the gang ove

Ash’s point of viewWhen we get back to the house, Dylan goes straight to his room, Ash walks into the kitchen, and I follow behind as I say."Ash?""What, babe." He replies with a frustrated sigh."You couldn't have stopped Areon from doing what he did to me; you were locked up in a cage."He runs his hand over his chin as he replies. "I know; I wish I could have stopped him; I will never forget what I saw that night, and it kills me that I couldn't do a thing to stop him.""I know, baby." I whisper as I wrap my arms around his back, feeling him sink against me as I rest my head on his muscular back, I whisper,"You need to speak to Dylan; he thinks you blame him for being expelled, and he did what any decent human would do; he stopped that girl from being attacked."Ash turns around, pulling me into his arms as he says. "I know, baby, he did what I couldn't."I lean up to kiss his lips as I say."Don't you dare blame yourself, Ash. You are the one who got me away from that monster,

Ash's point of view.After spending the evening at Stan's house, we come home and make love, every time with Anna gets better. I've never felt this way before, but God do I love this woman; she makes me happy, and she's so much happier in herself now the Vampire curse has been reversed; it just makes me fall in love with her a little more.Dylan has managed to put the past behind him, and the two of them are best friends these days; it's good to see the bond they share; they are like brother and sister. I guess you could say that we are our own little dysfunctional family, and it somehow works.I pull her into my arms. For once in my life, feeling contented, she sighs before she whispers quietly. "Ash, do you find the strength that Dylan processes strange for a twelve-year-old boy?"Fuck!......I don't find it strange because that boy is exactly the same as me. All my life, I've been fitter and stronger than anyone around me; that includes Bear, who is a seven-foot freak of nature. As

Ash's point of viewShe said yes, and I feel like the happiest man in the world. Tonight has been a strange night, a night full of mixed emotions. I let those emotions get the better of me as I just blurted out those four little words."Will you marry me?"In my head, I had planned to do things so differently, but she said yes!"You mean it?"I ask as she giggles, "Of course, I mean it, Ash, I cannot wait to be your wife." I chuckle as I say. "I'm sorry, I never meant to ask you like this. I wanted to make it perfect."She wipes away her tears as she whispers. "Ash, I'm glad you asked me tonight; you opened up to me tonight and told me things that nobody else knows, even though it was hard for you to do. To end this night like this is perfect."I grin before walking over to my bedside table and finding the ring that I have been hiding away; I walk back over to Anna, taking her hand in mine before dropping to my knees as I say." My beautiful little Anna, will you make me the happiest
The Hidden King and I Chapter 36
Ash's point of view. We pull up outside the Fire pit; Dylan goes to run off to the training rings, I shout out. "Dylan, before you get kitted up, can we have a word with you and the guys. Anna and I have some news that we would like to share with you all." He lets out a frustrated sigh before he replies. "Sure." I chuckle as I help Anna out of the car, thankful I'm not a teenager anymore. We head inside; Bear is in the main ring with a group of youngsters. I'm amazed how well the big guy has settled here. The kids love him; that's once they get over the initial shock at the size of him. He nods his head as we walk in, and I shout out. "Have you got a minute, buddy?" "Yeah, sure." He replied before leaving the group of kids with one of the other fighters; he jumps through the ropes before making his way to us." "What's up, Ash?" He asks as I reply...."Let's just grab stan; then we can have a drink." Stan is in the bar area, going through the stock; he grins when we walk in. We

I've never felt as though I've belonged anywhere for a long time, but this feels right. These guys are my new family, and it feels good to have a place to call home.We end up having a few more drinks, celebrating our engagement, before Ash gets one of the other fighters to take us home so that he can leave the car at the Pit. Dylan has decided to stay for a while with Bear and some of the other fighters. They will probably end up staying in a couple of the bedrooms upstairs.We know that Bear will look after him.Ash always has rooms ready for any
The Hidden King and I Chapter 38
Anna's point of viewWe're just finishing our breakfast when Bear rings to let us know that he's bringing Dylan home, telling us that he thinks it's time to speak to him about his strength.I agree with Bear; the sooner Dylan knows, the sooner we can help him understand this.Ash nods his head in agreement; although I know he's finding this hard, he knows the implications that come with this power, and once Dylan knows, it will change his life forever. Ash worries that telling him now is someone going to take a part of his childhood away.Probably because he's been there himself, but Ash had to go through this alone; Dylan has us now, a family, He wont have to deal with this alone.I put my arms around Ash's massive frame leaning my head on his chest as I whisper. "It's going to be okay, Ash, Dylan, has all of us now; we will help him to get through this."He nods his head as he whispers. "I know, baby; it's just that I know how hard this is going to be on him."I lean up and kiss his
