Nathan:
“Need I ask what you might be doing her Prince Nathan?”
“I should be asking you the same thing Prince Ashton” I glared at the human prince who stood in front of me sharing the same glare.
“Prince Ashton?” The blonde, Nina, asked wide eyed, her green eyes now turning their attention to the prince who has probably been living with them for years, and yet neither one of them knew of his true identity.
Ignoring her, Ashton looked at me with a raised eyebrow, not bothering to answer my question as he looked between Kiara and I, his eyes cold as ice on me, but they would soften when he took sight of my confused mate who was on her knees cradling the child.
“Can we talk in private?” I asked looking around the now confused people who were sharing glances, Prince Ashton, noticing it too nodding at me to follow him.
“Keep her under watch, I won’t be long” I told Daniel who growl
Kiara:I breathed in.Then out.Inhale.Exhale.It seemed to be getting harder to do it as I knew that almost everyone was glaring daggers at me, even though I had technically done nothing other than defend myself against Nina who was raging fires on me.Nina was furious as she watched me walk out of camp, having technically nothing on me but the dagger which Ashton had gotten me, Ashton carrying Mathew who was squirming to get out of his arms to run to mine, her eyes glaring daggers at me as I walked, and had it not been for the wolves standing in front of her, I’m sure she would’ve been having her way with me, that is of course if the prince didn’t have her life before she did, which was not likely as she wouldn’t have been dumb enough to attack me in front of him as not to risk losing her life, but she would’ve definitely attacked.We reached the prince who was indeed standing at the edge of camp waiti
Nathan:I smiled as I looked at my mate who was watching the streets as the carriage moved around the kingdom, crossing the bridges, noticing a faint glow under her long-sleeved black dress, the sleeve concealing the mark, however the glow made it visible, though I was sure that she was yet to notice it.Being sure that by now she did not know what the mark was or who she really was or what she was capable of, otherwise she would’ve been able to stop Nina a lot more easily than fighting her physically the way they were, the blood on her collarbone seeming to have dried making me frown in confusion as all the other cuts were new and somewhat still bleeding, the cut on her collarbone seemed to be older than the others were, the clot already formed on it stopping the blood from pouring out.“When did you get the cut on your collarbone?” I asked her, she was looking out the window, seeming in daze before she snapped out of whatever she was thinking
Kiara:“What the hell did you do?” Ashton asked when he saw the prince’s annoyed expression as he walked out of the carriage without saying a word.I rolled my eyes at Ashton and wanted to push past him only for him to wrap his hand around my arm as a glare made its way covering his features, his annoyance visible in his ocean blue eyes as he kept his eyes on my own, it was then that he noticed the handkerchief wrapped around my wrist, filled with blood that he froze looking at it.“What happened?” Ashton asked taking my hand in his and gently unwrapping the wounded wrist, blood still poured from it making him frown in confusion.“I’m not sure, it suddenly started burning and blood started pouring out of it, Prince Nathan had wiped the blood from it, but wrapped it when he realized that the bleeding will not be stopping any time soon” I said trying my best to explain what had happened, even I wasn’t su
Kiara:I woke up feeling somewhat warm and refreshed, holding a blanket close to my chin as I got lost in the soft fabric, having not felt this relaxed for a very long time.My eyes suddenly snapped open when I realized where I was, seeing as I wasn’t on the hard floor of the forest, a sheet draped over two trees to cover me from the eyes of the lads that lived with us, wearing a silk dress rather than a worn-out dress that was stitched so many times due to being worn out from the endless days of me wearing it.I smiled to myself as I saw the change that had hit my life only to remember what it cost me, my friends probably hated me by now, the palace guards having stayed on their heads last night to stop them from running away or doing anything crazy, remembering that Prince Nathan was going to see them this morning, my eyes widening as I feared him harming any of them, more specifically Nina if she decided to do anything that would be risking herself gett
Nathan:“I like this!” Mathew said as he took a bite of the loaf of bread I had made him, I had spread butter and strawberry jam on it, the castle cooks having just finished making the jam as it was now fresh.“You’ve never tried jam before?” I asked the kid who shook his head giving me a cheeky grin making me smile as he took another mouthful, the door to the dining room was opened revealing Kiara and Ashton who walked side by side, both of them seemed to be talking about something as they walked toward us.Ashton wore a white loose shirt, which was had the first two buttons and black pants making him look somewhat like a pirate, but that was indeed what made most girls fall for him back in the day, he would be walking inside a room and every girl would fall to his feet, except he paid none any attention especially since he had found his mate.Though, he was forced to leave her for a while as he knew that he couldn’t t
Nathan:“Who the hell do you think you are?” my father asked, his back still facing me.I did my best to calm my breathing and keep my heart beating at a normal rate, not wanting him to sense my worry of what he might do as a reaction to our other day argument, and though he was yet to make a move of approaching me, I could feel his wolf battling him to get out and shift, causing my wolf to go on alert should I need to defend myself, even though I was hoping that it wouldn’t reach to that point, I knew that I needed to be prepared for anything that could happen.“Answer me” father said angrily, this time turning to face me, confirming to me that I was indeed correct and that his wolf was making an appearance, showing, and revealing himself to anyone who had eyes, father’s eyes were now golden and his canines were exposed for a blind man to see, his nostrils flaring as his death glare met my calm gaze, it wasn’t that I wa
Kiara:“What the hell happened out there?” Ashton asked the second we entered my chamber, my heart raced as I realized that I was just standing in front of the king, looking him in the eye, while calming a furious wolf, which happened to be Nathan.“Nathan had his father on death point, that’s what happened” I said looking my best friend in the eye, his blue eyes widened in surprise as he sat on the couch in front of me, the scratch on my neck stained the dress that I was wearing, but it was honestly the least of my concern right now.“What do you mean, he had his father on death point?” Ashton asked slowly, his fingers running through his hair in a nervous manner.“I was coming back here from the garden when a guard pulled my arm roughly, I tried removing my arm from his but bloody hell was he strong…”“Bartolomeo?”“How the bloody hell am I supposed to know his
Kiara:“How?” I asked looking at the mark on Ashton’s wrist, he smiled and covered his wrist once again, his eyes looking into mine, while I looked at him as if he’d grown a second head.“Do you want to hear a story?”“Ashton”“Yes Kiara?”“How do you have the same mark?”“That’s what the story is going to reveal”I looked at him, eyeing his expression, trying to read it, but he gave me nothing, not a single clue of what he was on about, I nodded, my eyebrow still raised, though this time I kept my distance to look him in the eye, he chuckled seeing as now I was suddenly less relaxed or at ease.“Have you ever heard of Prontose?”“King of the sea? We used to tell his stories to the children back home” I said smiling at the memory when we would all be seated around the bonfire we started, and we’d be sha
