Kiara:
“Well, you can’t expect us to sit here and do nothing” Nina said the second we were sure that everyone was out of earshot.
“Very funny Nina, have you never met us?” Ashton asked the girl who smirked raising an eyebrow at him, wanting to know what he had in mind.
“We may be royalty, but our old ways won’t simply change because of a stupid title” I said sitting cross legged on the chair which I sat on looking at our eldest brother who was smirking, his eyes holding a hint of amusement “what Elijah? Tell us, which stick is shoved up your bum?”
“None, but I do find it amusing that you are all calm in front of your husband or wife, and now you’re planning on doing something ‘behind the scenes’” Elijah said raising an eyebrow at me making me smile and shake my head.
“You do know that none of them is thinking straight right now and that they need our hel
Nathan:“Don’t you even think about it Kiara” I snapped at Kiara for suggesting that she and her siblings to leave the kingdom to go and see King Deniz, my eyes widening at her as she looked at me, her eyes somewhat avoiding mine as she knew that I would not approve of this, how could she even think of something like this when the kingdom was literally on the verge of war.“Nathan! Come on you know that the king can help, he can suggest something, plus we’ll be in the kingdom of The Sea, it’s not like we haven’t been there before, and you know that it is safe” Kiara said looking at me as I paced our chamber, I glared at her making her shy back, knowing that she was asking me for something that I would not be approving of, especially at a time like this, no she wasn’t my prisoner here, I would never treat her as so, but if her safety was on the line, then she was not going anywhere.“I said no Kiara, don
Kiara:“Why the hell not?” Elijah snapped at me when he found out that I wouldn’t be joining them to go and see King Deniz, after what had happened last night, how broken Nathan looked, I was NOT going to put him through any worry or pain about me leaving him or about anything happening to me.“Elijah, he doesn’t want me to go, and I won’t pressure him when he’s in this much pain, please don’t ask me any more questions on the subject” I said looking at my eldest brother who frowned in confusion, me, Elijah, Ashton, and Nina were all sitting in my chamber after Nathan had left to tend to his duties of the kingdom, the peace treaty was yet to arrive, but he had things to take care of, and he wanted to keep himself busy instead of thinking through the whole day.Elijah got up and nodded at me to follow him, I raised an eyebrow and looked at Nina who nodded at me to follow him to the veranda which I did, Elijah w
Nathan:“Elijah and Nina are on mother and King Alexander’s side…” I said looking at my mate whose eyes widened in surprise, Kiara looked at me as if I’ve suddenly grown a third eye and I couldn’t blame her, I suddenly slapped her with a shocking piece of information about her eldest brother, and despite Elijah once being close to her, we had heard him and his wife plotting how to get Ashton and Kiara out of the castle to set an attack against us.Flashback:“Ashton!” I called the human prince who was walking in the garden with Grace, he frowned in confusion when he saw my exhausted eyes having broken down a while ago in the chamber, I had fallen asleep out of exhaustion, but woke up about an hour later finding Kiara curled up in my arms as she slept, I slowly got up careful not to wake her and went out to get some air, something about her leaving to the King of the Sea did not feel right, the fact that Elijah kne
Kiara:I walked back inside the chamber after Ashton, Grace, Celine, and Sebastian left us.Knowing that I would be having a mind battle of my own, Nathan had told the princes and princesses that we would be talking about matters later though when this later was going to be I did not know, especially since I knew now that I had to stay in control to be sure that I did not harm Elijah or Nina, and knowing myself I might do so, which might lead to ruining Nathan’s plan, whatever it was, I knew that he had left them because he did have a plan, otherwise, he would’ve had their heads by now.“Kiara…”“Why would they do this Nathan? You have been nothing but good to them, even when Nina and the other kids needed a home, you were sure to provide it, you didn’t leave them to freeze or starve to death, why would they repay you this way?” I asked looking at my mate, remembering the number of times which Nathan had st
Nathan:I wrapped my arm around my mate hugging her tightly before I got into the carriage.“Take a good care of yourself” she said in my brain, using the mating bond to her advantage, I smiled and nodded at her.“I will baby girl, and I’ll be back before you know it” I looked at her through the carriage’s window, listening to her racing heartbeat as I knew she was having her own battle in her mind as worry filled her veins about us leaving, but she knew that it had to be done, there was no other way around it, not for now anyway.“You alright?” Ashton asked me noticing my worried expression, we usually took different carriages when going out, but today was exception, especially since we knew that danger was still lurking around every corner, it was no use denying or pretending that it was anything different, if we were going to be attacked, we were prepared to fight.“Just wor
Kiara:My eyes met the queen’s who I knew was internally cursing the day I was born.“What does she mean by this?” Nathan asked the queen, he walked away from her and came to my side, he cupped my cheeks looking me in the eye before turning to face his mother, his arm wrapping around my waist in a protective manner.I could see Sebastian walking toward Celine and wrapping his arm around her, checking if she was okay and Ashton doing the same thing checking on Grace who was glaring at the queen, her own mother, who had sent Nina and Elijah to us as spies to do her dirty work.“Nathan…”“What is the meaning of this mother? You sent someone to kill my wife?” Nathan asked repeating what I had said, his eyes glaring daggers at his mother “the mother of my daughter and your grandchild?”“She was never supposed to be your wife to begin with, you are blinded by her, I’m doing t
Third Person Point Of View:“I will make them pay, they will know the consequence of standing against me the way they did” Queen Beatrice said pacing around the now half ruined throne room, her anger had gotten the best of her and she destroyed literally everything she put her hand on, King Alexander’s eyes were wide as he looked at the woman he loved losing her sanity.“Beatrice darling…”“They embarrassed me in front of the people, that trash isn’t dead, and both Grace and Nathan won’t even look at me, all because of that street girl” Queen Beatrice said crushing a piece of wood which she had broken from one of the chairs, the force she had on it broke it in half before King Alexander had time to react to what she was doing, his eyes were wide as he saw blood coming out of Queen Beatrice’s palm as the wood scraped it.“Mother?” Princess Delilah’s eyes widened when she s
Nathan:I paced around the pack as I waited for Elijah and Nina to arrive.Robert having explained to us what actually happened, telling us that Elijah and Nina were not traitors to us, that they were the reason Robert and Valerie, my grandparents, had gone to save Kiara and Lilian, being forced to be in act as they knew that they had to make things as believable as possible, not wanting their cover up to be exposed.“Any sign of them?” Ashton asked walking toward me, I shook my head, worrying that something might have happened to them either in that palace or on their way here, but knowing Elijah, I knew that he was smart and that he would be able to maneuver around without getting caught, Nina was a criminal mind on her own, therefor I didn’t really need to worry about her, but I couldn’t help but think of a worse case scenario, knowing that everything that had been happening in this short period of time was nowhere near being normal.
