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
Nathan:“That was absurd and uncalled for!” Mother snapped when we entered the throne room, I sent Kiara to her chamber as I knew that I was in for an earful from mother and I did not want her hearing it as I didn’t want her feelings getting hurt.“She is my mate mother, why was that uncalled for?” I asked when Daniel closed the door, Grace was currently with Ashton, the two wanted to ‘catch up’ I wasn’t stupid as not understand what that meant, I just hoped that they were careful as I was not ready to be an uncle yet, or maybe I was, anyway, I’m sure mother and father did not want to find that their daughter was pregnant just yet.“First, addressing her as a princess when she clearly is not, don’t think that I am not aware that you picked her out from the street…”“Beatrice…” father hissed under his breath, mother glared at him and turned to face me.
Kiara:“Nathan…” I said trying to get the prince to get out of bed to go and see the girl who was coming to the kingdom on his behalf.“Yes Kiara?” He asked, his voice sounded annoyed as he knew why I was calling his name, I knew that he didn’t want to go, but him not being there when she arrived would be rude.“You know you have to be there Nathan” I said trying to remove his arm from my waist, but that only seemed to trigger him into pulling me closer making me laugh at his childish behavior “okay, this is not going to work”“No”“There’s no way I’m convincing you, is there?” I asked rolling my eyes at the prince who was acting like a two year old toddler, Nathan didn’t answer, instead he laid on his back and pulled me to lay on his chest making me squeal.“No”“Is that all you’re going to answer me today?&r
Nathan:I smiled looking at my mate who was now peacefully asleep in my arms, my canines’ mark fresh on her neck, though I’ve licked the bite as to stop the bleeding and to get the cut to heal faster, it was still bleeding, but I didn’t mind as she now carried my scent for the whole kingdom to smell.“I love you my sweet beauty” I smiled at the sleeping girl who sighed in contentment in my arms, I leaned down and kissed her shoulder smiling as I did.I slowly laid down beside her, closing my eyes to doze off, knowing for fact that it was almost afternoon by now and that mother would be furious that I left Celine to arrive by herself to the palace, but I couldn’t care less right now, my only care was the beauty that slept in my arms.My beauty…******************“Didn’t I inform you that Celine was arriving today?” Mother snapped once Kiara and I entered the dining room at dinner t
Kiara:I sat in the veranda of Nathan and I’s chamber, watching as the stars illuminated the sky, tonight was a full moon meaning that every wolf, aside from the ones who had a moonstone gemstone on a ring or a necklace, he’d be shifting to a wolf, most of the castle had the stone with them, the witches having enchanted it for them to allowing them to control when they wanted to shift, Nathan had his in a ring which he wore on his left ring finger.The prince was in the dining room with his parents, having argued with his mother on the table, Elijah asked me to leave to my chamber as not to start more trouble with the queen, which would result in the king interfering, he and Ashton followed soon after, coming to see me here and spending some time with me before each of them made his way to his chamber.“I wondered where you’ve gone” Nathan said from behind me, he kissed the crown of my head and I smiled closing my eyes in contentmen
Nathan:Waking up the next morning couldn’t feel any better as I knew that now the mating bond between my mate and I was finally complete as it took a night long sleep for her body to be able to go through the changes, for our brains and thoughts to connect, and for us to feel one another’s feelings, whether they were of happiness, sadness, pain, or anger.Kiara was still fast asleep in my arms, yesterday having been exhausting to her, both physically and emotionally, part of me even regretted telling her about what Celine meant to me, but I would’ve rather she heard it from me than anyone else, or from my thoughts which will now be connected to hers, we would even be able to be speaking to one another by telepathy, which would make things a whole lot easier when it came to situations of calming one another when getting into arguments with mother, which I knew were bound to happen, especially today since Kiara was going to be meeting my ex for the fir
Nathan:“Oh, tired of your little toy already? You know I could send you a better satisfaction, one who could hold herself a lot more than the little human” mother mocked when Grace, Ashton, and I entered the dining room, Elijah stayed behind in my chamber by Kiara.Ashton took a sharp breath and Grace held his hand, intertwining their fingers, stopping him from whatever outburst he was going to have at that very second, knowing that mother would hold it against him if he does, and that was the last thing we now needed.“She’s resting as she’s a little ill mother, and I do appreciate you stop insulting her” I said looking mother in the eye, my gaze hard meeting hers which was something that she never saw toward her from my side.“Well, considering she said nothing wrong Prince Nathan, she is a weak human after all, how would she be able to hold herself in the arms of an Alpha like yourself” the familiar soft
They watched as the kings and queens smiled upon entering their kingdom, smiles were drawn on the people’s faces, they were greeting the kings and queens with pride and happiness, excited to be back to their old ways, their comfortable ways.“They will pay” Queen Beatrice said glaring at her husband, King Alexander raised an eyebrow at her as she turned to face him, her eyes wide in rage, she has been yelling at him for hours now, the king was furious with her. But he was containing himself as he tried to process what had happened, the loss he had.“You had failed me, I should have never listened to you, I could have been living as a queen with Ned, I lost my husband, my children, now, my throne and people, what else am I going to lose because of you?” Queen Beatrice asked angrily, her eyes wide in rage, she stood and slapped the king who stayed quiet as he looked at her, the vision of his son challenging him, telling him that he didn&rsqu
Kiara:“I’m surprised that you two have come, even after the loss of your daughter” King Alexander mocked, Nathan had managed to find Delilah inside the vampire’s palace, however, it broke him to see her dead on the ground when he reached her. Her mother having been the one who had killed her, her canines dug deep in the young girl’s neck, and her heart pulled out of her chest. Queen Beatrice was by her husband’s side, her head held high as we all stood in front of one another, ready for battle.“King Alexander, I do recommend that you do not tempt me to break the rules and kill you here and now, before the battle even begins” Nathan said angrily, both of us were at loss and were still in a weak state after having lost Lilian, I couldn’t understand how Queen Beatrice was still managing to remain strong after losing both her mate and daughter, both of them killed by her doing or her order.“I do suggest
Nathan:“Why does this keep happening Nathan?” Kiara asked crying, she was laying in my arms, we had buried Lilian a few days ago. Her heartbeat was weak and I could feel her pain. I was in as much as pain, we had lost our daughter. Her curly hair was wet after just taking a bath. Her body was stagnant as Diana scrubbed her body clean, softly scrubbing her body with soap and rinsing it, it was the time when I was able to cry. I knew that I had to stay strong for my mate, despite feeling her pain and her feeling mine, I couldn’t show it to her.“She’s a little bird in heaven baby girl” I whispered to her. Tightening my arms around her waist and pulling her to my chest. My own tears fell from my eyes but I was doing my best not to show Kiara how hurt I was. Though I knew that she could read my mind and was well aware of my pain and tears, I wanted to be her strength, the weakness she was in, the pain that we were both in, burying our l
Kiara:I rocked Lilian who was being restless, she had been crying for almost an hour now, and nothing I was doing seemed to calm her down.“Baby girl, come on, rest for me” I said softly, kissing her temple. Nathan was somewhere out of the forest, planning on how they would be getting Delilah back, I was intrigued about having her back I had to admit. But I knew one thing, I couldn’t allow her to be in the same place as that bastard excuse of a king, he would kill her in an instant, if not kill, then he would torture her making her wish that she was dead. And no matter what she had done to me, no person was supposed to feel the pain the king inflicted when he was angered, and I was not a cold-hearted person to want that on any person.“She still hasn’t calmed down?” Nina asked entering the room with a small bottle in her hand, I shook my head. I couldn’t even understand why she’s been crying. She has been fed, cha
Nathan:“Your grace, the king has agreed to get into war” my messenger said entering the forest, Kiara and I were both sitting by one another’s side. Her head laying on my shoulder as we watched the bonfire at night, our hands in one another’s, our fingers intertwined, the beautiful breeze hitting the two of us.“Have you seen Princess Delilah?” I asked, the messenger shook his head and looked down at his feet, I could hear the man’s heart race as he seemed to worry about speaking of something, a habit I noticed most of my servants had when wanting to tell me something that might anger me.“I have heard from your guard Blake, the princess has been locked for almost a month now, she hasn’t been let out of the tower, the queen isn’t even allowed to see her” the messenger answered. Kiara tensed and my eyes widened, Kiara pulled away from me and I stood up and walked toward the messenger who avoided m
Third Person Point of View:“What is the meaning of this?” King Alexander snapped, standing on his feet from the throne as he received the war letter from Prince Nathan “you idiot of a son, is challenging us, to war?”“What?” Queen Beatrice asked with wide eyes. They had not heard from the prince in months, after Mason had died, all possible spies have feared approaching seeing the body of the second beta as he left that house. Even when the king did try and put another spy, no one refused to be by his side. That only angered him with Delilah who was now locked in the tower despite her mother’s pleads. It turns out, the king did not keep his promise to the queen about trying to build a family. At least not toward the young princess, he kept his part toward the queen. Giving her a chance to prove herself, and loving her through it.“Nathan has lost his mind” the queen said taking the note from her husband and
Kiara:“Are you sure about this Kiara?” Ashton asked standing beside his little sister, she nodded to him and gave him an assuring smile. Her Ashton, Elijah, Nathan, Nina, and Grace were standing by the riverbank, waiting for King Deniz.“Would he even come?” Grace asked looking at the water.“Yes, he will, I have sent him word myself” Queen Alaura said from behind the princes and princesses, startling them. They turned around to face her, all of them bowing and she nodded smiling at them “I was aware of you planning on seeing him, I know that you want to speak to him, and he is coming for you”“Thank you, Queen Alaura” I said smiling, the queen nodded at me and looked Nathan, with a smile on her face.“You have grown child” Queen Alaura told my mate who wrapped an arm around my waist, he hadn’t grown, he had lost a glow in his eyes. I knew that it was because everything
Nathan:My chest ached as I thought of what my mate had said.Despite me assuring her that I was doing everything for her, I hated the fact that she didn’t see that. I knew that she was worried about me, I knew that she didn’t want my heart to darken. But she didn’t realize how much her words had hurt me.I walked toward the house where Mason was kept with a heavy heart, what I had been doing to him killed me more than it helped me. I couldn’t admit it to anyone, not even to my mate, but I was hurting. Being betrayed by my second beta, a man who I trusted, who I considered as one of my closest friends, it killed me.Walking inside the house, I looked at Mason who was sitting on the chair, his head sagged as he looked down at his lap, his body exhausted. I cleared my throat snapping him out of whatever daze he was in, he had been like that for a while, his body would jerk at the sound of my voice, or my scent. I knew that he was fri
Kiara:“Nathan, that is enough” I told my mate, it had been a month with Mason here, he’s been locked up in this house. Which now had blood on literally all its walls. Nathan had made sure to make him suffer, he made him cry for days, begging to end his life, but my mate wouldn’t allow it. He would heal him, he would let the pack doctors treat him, he’d force him to eat, then he’d repeat the process all over again.“Kiara, I told you do not interfere” Nathan said looking at me, I was stopping him from entering the house, the man had suffered enough, whatever he had committed, he was punished for it. I knew that Nathan was still determined in making him suffer, but I didn’t like this. This wasn’t my mate.“No, you are not going to enter that house Nathan, that is enough. Mason took his punishment, you have caused him enough pain, just stop” I said looking my mate in the eye. His eyes widened
