Nathan:
I stood in front of the people holding Kiara’s hand, my hand squeezing her softly, assuring her, I worried because of what was going to happen, how the people were going to react, what they were going to say, whether or not they were going to accept fighting along our side or not, it scared me, but I refused to show it.
“Prince Nathan, we saw the messenger come today, what did the kings say? Did they accept a peace treaty? Are we going to war?” A man asked me before causing a stir in the crowd, as if he spoke of their worry, I looked at Kiara who smiled and nodded at me, as if assuring me that it was going to be okay, I knew that she believed that it will be, and I wished that I could feel the same, but my worry could be seen from anyone who was looking at me.
“The kings have indeed responded” I said speaking after I saw that most of the crowd had quieted down, everyone looked at me, anticipation filling the air and it was n
Kiara:I frowned when I saw Nathan getting up from beside the guard, nodding at Daniel to help him into the carriage, he walked toward me and took my hand, his hand shaking making my frown deepen as I couldn’t read his sudden monotonous expression, his eyes had lost a life that they had in them just minutes ago.“We will be preparing for this war, what is being done will not be ignored, whatever the consequence is, we will be fighting until the very last drop” he said after taking a deep breath, his voice hard as he spoke, the people cheered in agreement, happy to see that their prince was leading them and that he will be by their side, but Sebastian, Nina, and Elijah had an expression that I couldn’t grasp, Grace was in Ashton’s arms as he pulled her to their carriage to leave, I looked at Nathan who didn’t even look at me before he pulled me to walk with him to where the new compound was being built his hands were still shaking des
Nathan:I entered the palace I grew up in for the first years in my life with a heavy heart.The memories that laid within these walls, the pain I felt leaving this castle a long time ago hitting me like a rock, how I felt knowing that I would be living alone in a place that I did not know, away from mother and my sisters, the pain mother felt back then, the tears that she cried, how she held me the last night I was spending here, she had refused to let me sleep alone that night, I remember her sleeping in bed, holding me tightly, father did not like it, he tried getting her out, but she ended up yelling so loud that I thought that the windows would end up breaking, father ended up letting her stay with me that night, but it was one of the last times I was able to see her alone after that.Kiara’s hand was in mine, our fingers intertwined as Diana held Lilian, the princes and princess came with us, even the children, if the two kings were dead, then we cou
Kiara:I waited outside with Daniel and Diana, holding Lilian in my arms as she fell asleep a while after we went out.It wasn’t until Celine came out running toward me like her life depended on it that my eyes widened and I realized that them still being inside didn’t mean that they were enjoying their time, no, it meant that they were eating one another apart.“Kiara, you need to go inside, Nathan is going to do something bad…”“What?”“I’ll explain everything later, but we need to go inside and stop Nathan before he ends up shifting and attacking King Alexander” Celine said looking at me, my eyes widened and I handed Lilian to Diana whose eyes were wide.“Diana, should anything stir and you see that it is dangerous to stay, go back to the castle” I said looking at Diana who opened her mouth to speak “Daniel, they’re in your care”“Princ
Third Person Point Of View:“Why did you tell them Alexander? We needed them on our side, now how are we going to do that now” Queen Beatrice asked the king angrily, her eyes glaring at her lover, Princess Delilah was standing beside the king who wrapped his arm around her, holding her close to him.“I would not have let the princess lay her hand on my daughter, if you would have allowed it, I wouldn’t have, she’s lucky that I did not break her hand when she raised it, but her older brother saved her anyway” King Alexander said looking at the queen, the queen had to fight back rolling her eyes, she knew the rules about being a queen and a royalty lady, she must be disciplined despite not wanting to, she did not approve of what had happened between her children, but she could not blame them, she would not admit it loudly, but she knew that what she was doing was wrong, but she had her reasons for hating being with King Ned, he might h
Nathan:I never thought that reaching the castle could mean heaven to me.I had witnessed the worst thing I could ever think of, my mother was a mistress of the vampire king, she had a daughter from him too, a daughter who father had raised for seventeen years, had taken all her mood swings, had cared for, tutored, and loved, he gave her everything he could, and yet, she was not even his daughter.How things had reached to what they have was not something I could understand, it hurt me, a lot more than I could’ve ever thought, losing my father first, finding out that mother was a cheater, finding out that through all these years she didn’t even care about her husband’s relationship, I didn’t even want to know what else she was doing behind everyone’s back, this was way too much for me to handle, I didn’t even want to think of anything else.“Diana, take the children to their nurseries, let them bathe and go to sle
Kiara:I woke up to Nathan drawing patterns on my lower back with his finger.“Good morning beautiful” Nathan said softly, obviously noticing my change of breathing patterns as I woke up, Nathan’s arms tightened around me before he kissed the crown of my head.“Morning” I whispered laying in a more comfortable position beside my husband, having been laying on top of him, literally, I laid down beside him before laying my head on his chest, his arms not loosening around me “when did you wake up?”“About an hour ago” Nathan said softly, I pulled away to look him in the eye, dark circles had formed under his exhausted eyes from crying, he had cried himself to sleep last night, though for some reason he refused to let me go as he slept, it was as if he was afraid that I would be running away, and thankfully, Lilian got a full night of sleep last night, she didn’t wake us up when we fell asleep.
Nathan:“You and your wife have completely lost your minds” Celine said glaring at Kiara and I, she held her belly with her hand, which was growing in size by the day as her and Sebastian’s child grew inside her, the baby’s heartbeat was calm despite his ranting mother who was trying to compose herself for the sake of her child.“Do you expect us to leave the king to do what he’s doing Celine, or do you expect to sign a treaty?” I asked Celine raising an eyebrow at her, trying to read her expression which not only looked annoyed, but worried.“Bloody hell no, I do not, and will not stand by you if you do so” Celine said looking me in the eye, I raised an eyebrow at her, as did Kiara “they killed the two kings Nathan, your father, and mine”“Pardon?” I asked frowning, Grace tensed as she looked at Celine who avoided our eyes, my own eyes widened as I heard the words that left her
Chapter 81Nathan:“Prince Nathan!” Daniel said walking inside the throne room, he bowed to all of us before straightening to look at me “the guard woke up, he is asking to see you”Daniel’s words had my eyes widen as I felt my heart race in anticipation, wanting to know what had happened when father had died, what had happened to the man himself, how he was shot, how the kings had died, what mother had done, all these questions swarmed my mind making me feel like a heavy weight had been thrown on top of my shoulders.I looked at Kiara who nodded at me to go, she knew that I wanted to listen to whatever the guard had to say on my own, she respected that and I was happy that she did, Grace walked toward me and I raised an eyebrow at her, but she raised hers at me making me fight back shaking my head at her, but she didn’t bother waiting as she walked toward the door of the throne room, clearly letting me know that she wa
