(Isabella POV)
I stared at his wound shocked at how good it healed.
It’s much better than I have expected. Too fast in healing.
I looked at his eyes with confusion. He stared back at me with his gold eyes.
Those eyes held mystery and I couldn’t help but want to know more about him.
“OK. I guess it’s safe to start walking. But you will still need support” I said as he nodded.
“Ok then. I will be back with your food. After that we can start therapy” I said immediately walking out of the clinic.
My mind is fuzzy and my heart ached.
It’s been like this since yesterday.
Nothing but awkwardness between us. His words kept repeating in my mind.
He wants to leave as soon as possible.
I know he should. He is not mine to hold but it still hurts.
Why does it hurt so much!
“Are you alright?” Nancy asked snapping me to reality.
“Yes. I am alright” I replied but she squinted her eyes at me.
We have just finished supplying the patients with their food.
“So Killian…” she said as I looked at her bored. She was grinning and I knew she has got the crazy impossible idea in her head.
“There is nothing between me and Killian if that is what you are wondering,” I said as she huffs a laugh.
“Yeah right. I saw the chemistry between you and him. You may be a medical specialist but I am the love specialist” She said as I looked at my hands.
“Bella… I know you feel something for him. I have known you for 5 years. We both know each other inside out. All you do is work and nothing else. Give it a chance. Trust in your feelings” she said as I looked at her with tears.
“I don’t know. I am so confused. Why am I feeling like my heart is breaking when he said he wants to leave as soon as possible. I should know he will never stay in my life” I said as she looked at me with sadness.
“I’m sorry, Bella. Maybe it’s because you are new to these feelings. Maybe that is why you feel confused and depressed. Give it some time. Maybe things will work out, maybe they won’t. In the end, only fate knows what will happen” she said as I sighed.
“You are right,” I said as I wiped my tears and gave a small smile.
“That’s my girl,” she said as I laughed and made my way to Killian.
“Ready?” I asked as he nodded.
“Ok let me take the stretcher,” I said turning but a hand grabbed hold of my wrist.
“Why are your eyes red?” He asked as I turned to him in shock.
“Huh?” I asked as he stared into my eyes.
“Why are your eyes red? Even your cheeks. Did you cry?! Did something happen?” he asked, his voice filled with worry.
My eyes widen as I stared at him in shock.
“Huh?” I replied still confused.
His gold eyes looked at me in worry but I averted his gaze.
I might cry if I kept looking at them.
“Isabella?” he called me but I still avoided his gaze.
My heart was racing fast and I have an urge to at least touch him.
“Belllaaaa!!!!” a happy screaming voice filled the air as my eyes widened.
I turned around and in the process losing his grip on my wrist.
A small body attacked me as I laughed and picked her up.
“Rosie!” I shouted happily as the 5-year old squealed and hugged me.
“Hello Doctor Isabella,” her father Carson said as I smiled and nodded.
“Bella! I had lots of fun with papa! We cooked and papa gave me this!” she said as she showed me a rabbit doll.
“That is a cute little rabbit,” I said as she nodded happily hugging it.
“Rosie, papa needs to go. Give me a hug?” Her father said as she nodded and ran to his arm.
I turned and took the medicines as I gave them their private moment.
I could feel Killian's eyes on me but I tried my best to ignore them.
“Rosie. Can you go to Nancy and ask her to bring some new bandages.” I asked as she nodded at me.
“Yes. Bella” she said as she skipped to the Doctor’s room.
“Who is that?” Killian asked as I removed his bandage.
“That is Rosie. Her mother was pregnant with her when the Zylians attacked them. She was taken to the hospital immediately. Her due date was near and we had to remove Rosie or both of them will die. But as a consequence of the mother inhaling too much smoke, the child has weak lungs” I said as he looked at me in shocked eyes.
“Bandages for Bella!” Rosie ran back in.
“Thank you. Now, will you be a good girl and go to your room and connect to the cylinder?” I asked as she smiled and nodded before running away.
“She needs to regularly use the support of an oxygen cylinder. Sadly, such a cheerful child has to suffer something like this.” I said as I started to bandage his wound.
“Do you hate the Zylians?” he asked as I looked at him with raised eyebrows.
“Hate is a powerful word according to me,” I said as he sighed.
“They killed your father and destroyed your planet,” he said as I stared at him.
Your planet?
“Isabella?” a hand snapped in front of me.
“Sorry. Umm, but to answer your question. I don’t hate them. But I don’t love them too. I just wish they leave us be. Stop this attack and bring back the peacefulness we once had.” I said as I looked at him.
I gave him a small smile but his void face still stared at me.
A part of me started to feel something about him. Is he a….
No, that can’t be possible.
Right?
(Prince Nyx POV)I stared at the guy in front of me. I had my guard up in case he recognizes me.I knew he was an earth soldier. He wore one of the uniforms of the active fighters of this planet. I fought many people with his uniform. As far I know they are specialized in combat and hunting.Isabella was taking care of my wound while he watched us silently."I have inform
(Prince Nyx POV)I opened my eyes and looked around. Everyone was asleep now. The room is only dimly lit by a night light hanging in the far corner.I sat up from the bed and untied the bandage in my abdomen.I cringe at the wound.I can’t believe the humans got hold of Zylian poison. But I guess I am lucky to be found and treated by my mate or else I am
Chapter 10(Isabella POV)
(Isabella POV)My eyes roamed through the room nervously as I try my best to avoid Nancy's gaze. She was grinning ever since she caught me kissing Nyx."So you and Killian" her grin widen as I groaned."Can we not talk about it" I grumbled as she rolled her eyes."Umm no! This topic must be discussed. It's your first kiss and that too with an overly handsome military guy. I am not going to let this go" she said as I sighed, putting hands on my head.
(Isabelle POV)"We are here," I said as I grinned at him."This is just a wall hanged with leaf," he said as I smiled at him.I went and knocked on the wall as he looked at me confused. The door suddenly opened as he stepped back in shock."Come on," I said as I walked in.I can feel him tense as people walked past him. I smiled and grabbed onto his hand and squeezed it. He looked down at me with a void face before continuing to look around in caution.Maybe it was a bad idea to bring him with me. I didn’t want to waste time as I directly went to the collecting department."Good day, sir. Isabella from Clinic Section 29986 department" I
(Prince Nyx POV)I watched as she runs around the clinic tending to her patients. It's been a week since her birthday and it has been the best time of my life.She is perfect. She is not like the other girls I have seen. During this one week, we got to know each other even more. I started to fall more and more in love with her and it frightens me.We promised each other, we will face every trouble and risk together but how far? I don’t want her to get hurt. I don’t want her to lose more than what she already lost.She deserves happiness and I'm the one who is denying that. During these days I also learned about the true people of this planet. The citizens of earth.How much they are suffering. How must they lose?&
(Isabella POV)"Do you think she will be ok?" I heard Nancy say but I didn't look behind. My mind was filled with Nyx. Is he alright? Is he safe? Will I see him again?"What happened?" I heard a familiar voice."Daniel!" I heard Nancy call surprised."What happened to her?" he asked."Killian is missing," she said as I try my best not to start crying."What?! How?" Another unfamiliar voice boomed confusing me."Who are you?" Nancy asked with tensed voice."He is Mr. Kyle. He is the commander of Section D and also Killian's brother" Daniel said as I tensed.
(Notice - The one’s in italic means the native language of Zylians)(Prince Nyx POV)The door opened, and the light blinded my eyes for a few seconds. I took a deep breath before walking my way to the throne room.“Prince Nyx" A familiar void voice came as I bowed down.“Father," I said, changing to my native language as he nods.He looks different from the last time I saw him. His white beard has grown longer, and his eyes look tired. He also seems to lose a lot of weight. All that remains the same was his neutral face.“I am glad you are alive, son," he said as I sigh.
