NOAH— Like this?— You know, I don't remember much about him, but there's a picture of my uncle in the palace, he uses this sword and the ring mentioned in Killian's prophecy, but the interesting thing is that both are missing, nobody knows the whereabouts!— Duric didn't tell me anything about that sword, who it was from, or where it got it!"— He didn't say anything to you?— No!— That sounds very strange!— Really, but I also don't believe he murdered the King! — He always says that they were friends, and tells about many experiences he had with him...— If this is my uncle's sword, how do you explain the fact that Duric has his sword?[...]ANDREWMy dialogue with Noah left me with more doubts. Why would Duric, the leader of the rebels, who was once governor of a city-state, accused of killing the King, have his sword? And why would I give it to a boy, who apparently has no connection with the King, or with my family?I face Noah, who seems distant after my questions, I think it
ANDREWHis tongue invades my mouth, I put my hands around his neck, I feel my body being pushed back a little, propping my back against the tree trunk, as he kisses harder. Noah throws his body weight on mine. What is he doing?What does he mean by taking his mouth from mine down to my neck and leaving me powerless to react? I pull his face away for good, and I put his mouth on mine, our tongues meet again, and all of this makes me a little out of my mind.— Andrew... Stop with... This!— What's it? You do not like? — I ask and he stares at me with a scared look, I kiss him again lightly, and then start a series of kisses on his neck, I feel something harden between us.— Really... Stop it... — He pushes me away, sits next to me, and stares at me with a confused look.— What's it?— Haven't you noticed?— Of course I noticed! I exclaim and smile. — But I think I'm not alone in this, after all, you're in the same situation as me!— I do not know what you're talking about! — he says, ge
ANDREWEach one lay on the opposite side, after the disappointment, I tried to sleep, I close my eyes and I can't sleep after Noah's words, which echoed in my mind. Noah is so different, so determined, brave, but at the same time so stubborn, because I feel he responds to my kisses and my touches, depriving himself for the sake of an ideal. I really know he wasn't just born to be someone's mate, lover or father, and then there's also the fact that I'm the King's son... Ah, I'm confused, but I need sleep.The day was almost dawn when we continued our journey, we left the pine forest and entered the other part composed of small bushes, we spotted some soldiers of the King, and quickly we hid among the bushes, the soldiers passed, and as soon as they were further away, we decided to continue through the pine forest, we walked a few meters, Noah stopped and motioned for me to stop, we looked back, and when we turned around we were surprised and surrounded by several men.[...]Noah smiled
ANDREWMy father's look at Noah is repulsive. Noah's gaze emits anger and bewilderment, I shake his hand, I turn toward the King.— Noah is the person I love! I ran away to be with him and I want him for myself, don't do anything bad to him and I can consider marrying Artanis under certain conditions! — I say and my father looks at me with admiration.— I'm impressed! Two things catch my attention, you seem to like this guy a lot, and another is that you'll make a great King, you even know how to negotiate! All right, I won't harm... What's his name?— Noah!— Very well, you are dismissed! Tomorrow I want to detail these conditions in more detail about your marriage to Artanis!— So I'm going to my room! As soon as I speak, I turn my back on him, grip Noah's hand even tighter, and lead him with me.— The boy must be taken to the wing where Omegas and Betas are at my disposal!— What? I told him I agreed to the marriage as long as Noah was with me...— Yes, but he must stay in the love
NOAHAfter a comforting shower, I open the door, walk over to the bed, grab the blanket and sheets the maids left, start tidying on the floor, and stop when Andrew asks me something.— What are you doing?— I'm making my bed!— You're not going to sleep on the floor!— Because?— Noah, that makes no sense! My bed is too big for me, it suits me and you very well!— But Andrew...— Noah, I already told you I would never touch anyone without consent, least of all you!— Because?— Oh, because we have a partnership, remember?I hesitate, but eventually agree to sleep in his bed. Andrew spreads out the pillows, and I take some back and place them next to each other in the middle of the bed.— What is it?— A demarcation. You can't overtake to the side I'm going to lie on, understand?— OK. And can you overtake the side I'm going to sleep on?— Of course!— I'm not severe, if you want to go over, and sleep hugging me... You can!I grimace in response to the nonsense he utters, and the Princ
ANDREW An arranged marriage is what William wants, and he still expects me to love his daughter, after I tried to establish everything I didn't want to happen from the moment I became Artanis' mate. — What do you mean, my daughter won't sleep in the same room with you? We know very well that in the first year of marriage it is essential that the royal couple sleep together so that the first heir is generated! — Only that I'll look for her, when I think it's time for that, but I don't want him to sleep in my room, I think you know very well that I don't feel anything for her, much less attraction and this is an agreement, the most interested in this story is me, for I will be King. — Still, this is absurd! — Oh, do you think it's absurd? It's not enough that I can't choose the direction of my own life, choose who I want to be by my side, do I have to put up with your daughter sleeping in my bed? Spare me your empty speech Guillermo! — I am irritated by Guilhermo's questions, and w
ANDREWArtanis crossed the line with his statement, Noah glares at her angrily, and before he says anything, I speak up.— Don't you think you're saying what you shouldn't? Mainly because you don't know Noah to say so! — I can say what I want, after all you're my fiancé… — Her sentence makes me realize that it's not worth wasting time arguing with her.— Paolo, get your sister out of here, please!" Before I lose what I have left! Paolo doesn't say anything, just takes his sister's hand and leads her out of my room, but the girl is very angry and out of her mind, she tries to break free and speaks aggressive words.— You're just a lover, you're warming the bed, and you'll never take my place… — Before she could finish, I answered something that shook her.— Who do you think you are to talk to Noah like that? You're a spoiled girl who only thinks about herself and doesn't see that what your father and mine are organizing is just a business and you'll just be Queen! YOU WILL NEVER BE M
NOAHI was so busy organizing my clothes that I didn't notice Andrew.— Noah, I've brought a person who… is Noah listening to me?— What do you want, Andrew? When I turn around, I see my brother, I run towards him and hug him excitedly, Balck smiles at me, and I hug him tighter.— I missed you so much, I was worried about you!— I am fine! — he says and I look at him and then at Andrew. — How did you find him, Andrew?— He didn't find me, I came at Duric's request! We need to talk…— he looks at the Prince.— Okay, I'll leave you two alone, but don't delay Balck, you might be missed. — Balck looks at Andrew and shakes his head in a positive sign, he leaves us alone, I motion for him to sit on the bed. Balck says that Duric had told him not to make any rash decisions and not to try to run away, that I should wait for his commands. Glad to have my brother there, but he wanted to know what it was like to come face to face with the King when I arrived and I told him the details and Balck
