Kiara:“Thank you for today” I smiled once we reached my chamber’s door, the guards and maids who were situated there had gone their own ways at the prince’s nod for them to leave, giving him and some privacy.“It was nothing love, I would’ve done more, but we’ve got a whole life ahead of us together” Nathan said softly, I smiled feeling my heart skip a beat at the thought and seeing that, Nathan smiled and leaned kissing my cheek, letting his lips linger there for a few seconds, causing sparks to run through my body as he pulled away to look me in the eye.Slowly, he leaned in to me, his face inches from mine as our breaths mixed, allowing me to pull away if I wanted to, and despite me not wanting to, I couldn’t give in this easily, I moved my face to the side and his lips met my cheek, he didn’t move or say anything as he slowly kissed the side of my face, jawline, until reaching the corner of my lips

Kiara:We were sitting on the floor of Nathan’s veranda after finishing the dishes, the maids and servants brought what we cooked there, having been surprised that I had the prince clean the mess with me, seeing his hands wet and filled with soap as he helped me out.Pillows surrounded us as the table was set in front of us somewhat forgotten while we talked, Nathan sat with his back against a pillow, one leg crossed under him while he raised the other, resting his arm on his knee, I sat cross legged in front of him, my knees exposed, though he didn’t seem to mind.“When I was younger, I loved going out to the garden to watch the stars, mother found out about it and scolded me for hours, since it wasn’t really allowed to go out without a guard in the castle, especially at night, and I was seven or eight at the time, but she had me moved to a chamber with a veranda the next week, giving me a chance to stargaze whenever I felt like it&rdquo

Kiara:“Kia!” Mathew said smiling as I entered his chamber.I kneeled down and lifted the child in my arms as he came walking my way, seeming a bit tired as he did, he wrapped his legs around my waist and put a hand over my shoulder and laying his head in the crook of my neck while my own arms wrapped around him, stabilizing himI went to my chamber and quickly freshened up, changed my dress and Diana fixed my hair, braiding my wet her which she dried with a small towel, though droplets of water were still on it, moistening it, then quickly made my way toward the child’s chamber as I wanted to see him before my day began with the studies I had, which happened to be a lot as today was Wednesday and for some reason it was the busiest day of the week for me.“How are you little one?” I teased kissing his cheek.“I am fine!” he said sounding a bit exhausted, the joy in his voice seeming to have left him making

Kiara:-Flashback:“Mathew?” I slowly walked to the child’s covered body, Diana taking a step back as she realized that I was here, her eyes widening when she saw my wide eyes while I approached my little brother.“What happened?” I asked no one in particular, I was with him half an hour ago, what could’ve happened in that short time?“His fever suddenly rose and…”“How can his fever ‘suddenly rise’ Myla?” I snapped at the nanny who was supposed to be by his side and watching him, knowing if something happened to him and informing me.“Princess I…”“What the hell?” My eyes widened when I saw water filling the bed, the smell of the ocean filling my nostrils, wind suddenly picked up in the chamber and Myla, Diana, the two nurses who had come, and a guard were suddenly shoved out of the room, but how? I myself could not understan

Nathan:The door to my chamber was knocked while I was reading through some parchments on my desk, checking the people’s needs as they started increasing with the approaching winter, knowing that they wouldn’t survive if father didn’t lend us a hand with crops as the humans couldn’t get enough due to ‘problems’ with the vampires, though what vampires would want with human crops was something that I personally could not understand.“Come in” I called catching the scent of my mate who was standing outside the door, I put the parchment down and smiled at my mate as she walked inside, standing up to greet her with a smile, which she seemed to return though the exhaustion could be seen in her eyes, I couldn’t blame her though, what we’ve been through today was something that I wouldn’t wish for an enemy, and that is not even thinking of the queen who had tried killing her son, that idea alone was enough to ki
