Chapter 22
This chapter will be in the father of Xavier's POV. But it happened long ago before Xavier was born and that was a long long time ago when he was still young. Before he became King . I hope you enjoy
Nicholas's POV
"I expected better of you son but all you ever bring about is shame!"
"I'm sorry to say this father but dont I have the right to get to know my lands? How would I rule if I dont even get to know the people I am going to rule!"
"Nicholas!Dont test my patience now go back to your room and wait for your tutor!"
"Yes father!"
I hated it when he does this . Limiting my movements whenever I want to explore the territory.
Normally I would listen to him and stay but today was important.
A new family was moving in within the lands. Rumor has it that they are humans. The last time I was in contact with one was three hundred years ago.
Why I'm I even listening to what my dad says. I am a five hundred year old lycan and not some pup. I can do whatever I want.
Sneaking out of the palace walls was simple and easy due to the fact that I knew all the secret passages within.
I put my cloak on to hide my identity and ran off to where the humans' house was.
It took me less than fifteen minutes before I sighted the place.
Despite the house looking small I could tell it was homey looking.
Due to me getting distracted,I accidentally tripped and fell staright into a mud pile that I may not have seen earlier.
Bloody hell!
"Are you okay?"
I could tell from the softness of it that it was a female's voice and my was it enchanting. I shut my eyes and let out a sharp exhale. This wasn't supposed to happen.
A light chuckle followed after and surprisingly it made me smile. I dont smile . Why I'm I smiling.
"You seem to be in an uncomfortable situation"
"Tell me about it!"I groaned.
When my eyes met with her jade green eyes my breath hitched and my heart skipped a beat.
The human standing right infront of me was the most beatiful girl I had ever seen.
Her hair was as black as night and her skin seemed so smooth that I was tempted to just palm her cheek.
Her lips were plump and tempting but her eyes had a really huge impact on me that whenever she blinked my heart stuttered.
"You are beautiful"I found myself unconsiously saying and she smiled showing me her pearly white teeth.
"Really now?"she asked teasingly making me grunt.
Doesn't she know who I am. Of course not idiot otherwise she'd be trembling in fear right now and not acting carefree with me.
"Yes. The stars cant compare with your beauty"
"You're a smooth talker huh. Well whats your name?"
"Nichol....Nick"I stuttered . I dont want her to find out who I am. At least not yet.
"Well Nick, my name is Nerea and I'm really happy to meet you"she smiled warmly
"Why?"
"Well because I know I'm not alone anymore"
"What do you mean by alone?"
"I live alone duh"she said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
But why was she alone. It isn't safe for her here alone and her being human isn't going to help at all
"Where are you're parents"
"Dead"she shrugged
"Dead?"
"Yes dead. But its ok. I've been living alone nearly all my life so this isn't anything different."
"So you have noone?"
"Wait I do have my aunt and my fiance so I do have someone"
Why did the sound of her having a fiance make me want to slaughter an entire country.She should be mine!What I'm I saying. I just met her today
"Your engaged?"
"Unfortunately yes. Thats why I moved"
"Your fiance is from around here "
"Mmh,he works as a gardener in some big castle over here"
The only castle around here was mine. This is so messed up. As far as I know none of the workers were human. Does she know about us wolves?If so then thats not good
"Can I maybe freshen up myself in your house"
"My momma told me not to allow strangers in the house"she laughed
"But I'm not a stranger"I played along.
"Fine but you better hurry. Peter is coming home soon"
That was the start of a friendship that with time bloomed into something more. I'd visit her thrice aweek and we'd spend hours just talking. I'd help her in any way I could and we'd occasionally go on long walks.
I met the Peter guy and to say I was unimpressed was an understatement.
He was average looking and his build was average. I was basically everything he wasn't. I had money ,the looks ,the strength and status every man could dream of while he had his gardening job and small house that he lived in with My Nerea
My Nerea. I liked the sound of that.
I unknowingly fell in love with Nerea but she seemed so into Peter that it was sickening. I needed to get Peter out of the way and I knew just how
