Nathan:
I ran my fingers through my hair as the last of the men left the meeting room leaving me alone.
It was half past seven and I knew that I had ditched Kiara, though I didn’t have any other option as we had trouble happening back in the kingdom, the wolves got into endless fights with the humans, thinking that they were stronger than they were, which in reality they were, the wolves decided to follow no rules and start raiding the human stores, houses, and parks.
I tapped my finger over the table, my mind racing for a solution to the problem I suddenly had in hand, it wasn’t like it was the first day the humans and wolves lived with one another, and yet, they were acting as if it was the first time they ever met, I sighed standing up to find the door of the office being opened and Daniel walked inside surprising me.
“Is everything alright Daniel?” I asked frowning in confusion.
“Princess Kiara…”
<Kiara:We were sitting on the floor of Nathan’s veranda after finishing the dishes, the maids and servants brought what we cooked there, having been surprised that I had the prince clean the mess with me, seeing his hands wet and filled with soap as he helped me out.Pillows surrounded us as the table was set in front of us somewhat forgotten while we talked, Nathan sat with his back against a pillow, one leg crossed under him while he raised the other, resting his arm on his knee, I sat cross legged in front of him, my knees exposed, though he didn’t seem to mind.“When I was younger, I loved going out to the garden to watch the stars, mother found out about it and scolded me for hours, since it wasn’t really allowed to go out without a guard in the castle, especially at night, and I was seven or eight at the time, but she had me moved to a chamber with a veranda the next week, giving me a chance to stargaze whenever I felt like it&rdquo
Nathan:I woke up to the sun hitting my eyes.Frowning in confusion, I opened my eyes trying to take in my surrounding, only to be surprised when I saw my mate laying in my arms, peacefully curled up and asleep, her head laying on my chest while my arm was wrapped around her, a pillow under my head.How we had ended up in that state was a question that I couldn’t answer, as the last thing I remembered was us stargazing, me playing with Kiara’s hair until I felt her breathing even then…I dozed off…Hearing her breathing pattern change, I chuckled when she pushed herself off my body and rubbed her eyes from sleep as she realized that she had slept in my chamber, well on my veranda if I was being more specific, rather than her own chamber.“Good morning” I mused, her eyebrow was raised as she ran her fingers through her curls somewhat messing them a little more than they already were, not that I minded tho
Kiara:“Kia!” Mathew said smiling as I entered his chamber.I kneeled down and lifted the child in my arms as he came walking my way, seeming a bit tired as he did, he wrapped his legs around my waist and put a hand over my shoulder and laying his head in the crook of my neck while my own arms wrapped around him, stabilizing himI went to my chamber and quickly freshened up, changed my dress and Diana fixed my hair, braiding my wet her which she dried with a small towel, though droplets of water were still on it, moistening it, then quickly made my way toward the child’s chamber as I wanted to see him before my day began with the studies I had, which happened to be a lot as today was Wednesday and for some reason it was the busiest day of the week for me.“How are you little one?” I teased kissing his cheek.“I am fine!” he said sounding a bit exhausted, the joy in his voice seeming to have left him making
Nathan:Ashton’s hand went to wrap around my wrist as his back suddenly arched as if in pain, his once blue eyes were losing their color with every passing second.“Ashton, hey, relax, take a deep breath” I said to my friend who was showing more pain than I thought possible, this was the first time I’ve seen him in such a state, even when we did get into battle, he got shot in the shoulder, and even then, he wasn’t in this much pain “Kiara’s with Mathew, she will want to come back to find that you’re better, I just need your help”My voice was soft and controlled, though his grasp didn’t loosen and his clenching teeth made me fear him biting his own tongue and chopping it, slowly forcing his hand away from mine I went to look for something for him to bite on in fear of him hurting himself more than he already was as I heard a crack coming from his mouth, praying and hoping that it wasn’t his tooth
Kiara:-Flashback:“Mathew?” I slowly walked to the child’s covered body, Diana taking a step back as she realized that I was here, her eyes widening when she saw my wide eyes while I approached my little brother.“What happened?” I asked no one in particular, I was with him half an hour ago, what could’ve happened in that short time?“His fever suddenly rose and…”“How can his fever ‘suddenly rise’ Myla?” I snapped at the nanny who was supposed to be by his side and watching him, knowing if something happened to him and informing me.“Princess I…”“What the hell?” My eyes widened when I saw water filling the bed, the smell of the ocean filling my nostrils, wind suddenly picked up in the chamber and Myla, Diana, the two nurses who had come, and a guard were suddenly shoved out of the room, but how? I myself could not understan
Kiara:“I’ll go finish some work love, but I’ll see you later, okay?” Nathan asked me as he was leaving Ashton’s chamber, I nodded and he cupped my cheeks kissing my forehead “don’t exhaust yourself too much Ashton, and if you need anything just let Carlyle call me”“Thanks Nathan” Ashton said smiling, he gave him a nod and Nathan kissed my forehead one last time before walking out leaving me, Ashton, and Carlyle in the chamber, Elijah having left to his chamber a few minutes earlier.“I’ll be outside if you need anything princess” Carlyle said, I nodded at him and he bowed to both Ashton and I before walking out, I smiled at my big brother and went to his side, putting a hand on his forehead to check his temperature to find that there was no fever and that his body temperature was back to normal.Ashton took my hand in his and kissed my palm which was on his forehead seconds ea
Nathan:The door to my chamber was knocked while I was reading through some parchments on my desk, checking the people’s needs as they started increasing with the approaching winter, knowing that they wouldn’t survive if father didn’t lend us a hand with crops as the humans couldn’t get enough due to ‘problems’ with the vampires, though what vampires would want with human crops was something that I personally could not understand.“Come in” I called catching the scent of my mate who was standing outside the door, I put the parchment down and smiled at my mate as she walked inside, standing up to greet her with a smile, which she seemed to return though the exhaustion could be seen in her eyes, I couldn’t blame her though, what we’ve been through today was something that I wouldn’t wish for an enemy, and that is not even thinking of the queen who had tried killing her son, that idea alone was enough to ki
Kiara:“The king and queen should be arriving tomorrow” Nathan told me, his arms were wrapped around my waist while his fingers were intertwined with mine as he spoke.We were currently laying on his bed as he came to a habit of not wanting me to leave his chamber unless I was going to change my clothes, and even that was starting to change as he seemed to have ordered Diana and Thalia to bring my clothes to his closet once he’d cleared out most of it for my personal things like nightgowns or jewels which were on the dresser, the only clothes left in my chamber, which in Nathan’s opinion was now the dressing room, were my and Nathan’s formal clothes as he had his formal outfits go there.It turns out that we had shared a hall, though I never knew about it as to Nathan’s orders a wall was built to hide the shared hall, though he had it broken down the second he informed me of it, so, yeah, we were currently in the phase of shar
