2021-08-22 01:33:43After a surprisingly good night’s rest plagued by pleasant dreams for a change, I woke feeling a whole lot calmer about everything the next morning.
Cole and I had managed to save enough of the food to stave off our hunger and ate in the living room discussing nothing of importance but getting to know each other better, or favourite movies and books and music preferences were pretty much the focus of the conversation before we shared a chaste kiss and retired for the night, both wearing smiles.
I lay in bed contemplating how things would change and what this

“So how was life amongst the humans?” Elsie asked of her son, changing the subject.“About the same as the last time I was there, no major changes. It was a busy week, but Jess managed to keep things interesting.” He laughed lightly, no doubt remembering as I was, the argument we had Thursday night as she tried to insist that we play drunken twister,“Who is Jess?” Jonah asked glancing between the two of us, taking our close proximity with an assessing eye.“My flat mate.” I stated fondly.“So, you stayed with Miss Drovnic while amongst the humans?” His father asked.“Of course, I wasn't about to let her out of my sight, not with so many unknowns.” Cole stated seemingly irritated now by his father’s judgement and I tried to hide the small smile the threatened. It was nice to see him rebelling against the rules for a change.“Well a

Breakfast was a happy affair with plenty of laughter and conversation that made me feel truly welcome. Jonah had gotten over his shock at some point and seemed to be treating me more like a friend of the family instead of an employer and I guessed Cole's conversation with him had gone okay after all. He even went so far as to tell me that I was welcome to visit any time I liked.We had a conversation about my integration into Primogentius and Cole suggested that I could benefit from knowing more about my own race. It was a very obvious hint, but Elsie didn't call him on it instead she simply insisted that when I had any free time she would teach

I lost track of time as I greeted dozens of different animals in the stage one pen, petting them when they allowed as Nathaniel gave a running commentary from somewhere behind me. Each time I focused on a particular animal he would enlighten me with the name of the beast and a small fact about its species.It was a lot of information to take in and I doubted I would remember it all but still I tried to soak up as much as I could, never once considering that I would be able to return to this beautiful place any time I chose.It was like I had stepped into the dream

I groaned on instinct as I registered the pain pulsing through my head.“Lexi.” I heard Cole call. “Lexi, can you hear me? are you okay?” His voice seemed panicked, and it took a minute for me to realise why.I groaned again once the memories came flooding back, but this time in humiliation. I couldn't believe I had passed out.“Lexi.” Cole uttered again, this time from closer by.“Yeah.” I mumbled forcing my eyes open and looking up into the ruggedly handsome face of my guardian, my breath catching in my throat as I registered how close he was and my eyes automatically dipped to his lips, but his own expression held no trace of lust as he gazed at me with concern.“Oh, thank god. You had me worried there for a minute.&r

“Where are we going?” I asked. Once the building outside the window registered in my head.“I thought we could get some lunch at the café in the town.” He answered and I smiled in appreciation. I was starving now.“Sounds good to me.” I nodded.The café wasn't any different from those I had visited in the human world.

Monday morning came far too quickly for my liking. After a long drive home the night before, and spending too long concocting stories to tell Jess I felt drained again, I still had a head full of all things Primogentius. The excitement I had felt over finding my royal ability faded quickly on the drive home. I spent almost the entire trip reading through one of the books Peter gave me about the first war.I wasn't a history buff but I knew enough about human history to know that war was one of the worst things a country could face, only I had never really stopped to consider the details. Sitting in the comfort and safety of Cole's car and reading about death and destruction had my body shivering with fear. The book spared no details. Whole chapters were devoted to recounting particular battles listing the deaths and the destruction that occurred and I swallowed hard as I considered that soon we would be going through all of that again.I had

We spent an hour at the supermarket picking up everything we would need for the week before heading back to the quiet of the flat. Jess had a full day of lectures today giving me a few hours before she would be back.“Did you want to go over anything before Jess comes home?” I asked Cole as I finished putting the shopping away. I pulled out the ingredients for a sandwich and did us some lunch while he thought over his answer.“No, we'll leave it for a few days. You have enough to be thinking over.” He smiled placing a hand on my shoulder and squeezi

Tuesday morning, I woke with a slight groan, over heated and aching from sleeping in a strange position and I twisted and almost fell off the sofa, only the strong arms wrapped around my waist kept me from face planting the carpet.“You do know you have a perfectly good bed in your room, right?” Jess’s voice sounded and I lifted my head to see her sat at the breakfast bar looking smug as she took in the sight of us while eating a bowl of cereal.I groaned again leaning back into the warm body of Cole.

“We should stop at a market on the way and get some supplies.” I commented off hand to Cole as he shoved clothes into his own bag. I made a mental note as I watched him to do some laundry when we got to the city, with everything that had happened this week I had barely found the time to shower, never mind housework.“Okay. What time did you say you had to be at the council building for?”“Millicent said they are starting the meeting at eleven. They are ordering lunch in so I expect we will be there for a while.” I stated although this wasn't news. I had known since last weekend that this meeting would be a long one, there was so much that needed to be done. I was just thankful that Millicent had called to fill me in on everything fore hand, at least we wouldn't have to spend the first hour catching me up.I climbed into the passenger seat of Cole's car and thought back over my conversation with Mill

“What do you mean your Mum was murdered?” Cole asked holding me before him, his hands on my shoulders and a frown of concern on his face as he watched me.I swallowed hard and dried my eyes off, willing the tears to stop as I tried to formulate an answer. “Peter was wrong. It was never an accident. My mum was murdered in our home.”“How is that even possible.” He muttered but the words didn’t quiet register as I continued talking, now the words were comi

The sunlight through the windows cast shadows on the floor and I danced across the hardwood, making a game of avoiding the shadows. My dress floated around my legs as I jumped over a big shadow, the material tickling me, and I laughed.“Alexi.” My mum called from down the hall, and I turned to leave the living room dancing the whole time, but I froze when I faced the hallway. The man was young blonde and dressed all in black. I smiled at him, and he held his finger up to his lips, so I giggled, maybe he was playing a game too.

We headed into the closest town and settled on a small buffet restaurant for lunch. Elsie was a little confused by the long serving station filled with a variety of foods until Cole filled her in. Buffet restaurants were a fairly new trend and Elsie hadn't been to a human town for quite a while.“This is fantastic.” Elsie stated once we were all sat down with a big plate of food each. “It seems like so many things change every time I leave the city.” She stated digging into her meal.“Things do change quickly around here.

Elsie smiled into her cup, and I hid behind mine as I waited for her reaction. “I have to admit I did consider this a possibility after the weekend. The bond is hard to ignore at the best of times but when you are practically living with the person, I expect it is harder still. Warriors are trained to ignore that of course and I expected that it wouldn’t have been an issue had you been a mean or judgemental person, but you are beautiful inside an out. Well, I can’t say I disapprove. I had to wait until Jonah finished his assignment at the age of thirty-four before we could date. I’m glad that you and Cole won’t face the same difficulty.” She smiled and I relaxed like a weight had been lifted a
