Secrets

With Responsibility comes Sacrifice

Chapter 24

                I woke up snuggled securely in the arms of Oliver. I was glowing literally glowing with happiness. His hair was tousled from sleep. He was gorgeous. I crept out from under his grip and walked into the closet, grabbing a whiter maxi dress that flowed down to the floor which I placed with white flats and a tiara, bracelet and my wedding rings.

                I went into the bathroom turning the shower on as I waited for it to warm up. I walked over to the rack hanging up my clothes. I quickly brushed my teeth and my hair. I looked at the girl or should I say woman in the mirror. My skin was flawless, not one blemish. My hair was long and silky smooth with a beautiful rich brown colour. I looked at the crescent shape mark on my neck. It made me feel loved.

                I then turned to the side seeing the royal mark on my shoulder and lastly to the Mating Mark. I traced each mark carefully with my fingers. I felt loved. I felt like I belonged. It was the best feeling in the world. I climbed in the shower and felt the water cascade down my body. It was soothing and I ended up getting lost in my thoughts.

                I thought back to the meeting. I was 100% certain that Killian was after the thrown. He always seemed to throw off this sense that he was after power. He wanted to control everything and everyone around him. I didn’t like that. I don’t like people like him. Those that want to feel on top of everyone else. I hate them.

                I could feel this sense of dread wash through me. I felt like something bad was going to happen. I could feel it. Anxiety was washing over me. The feeling of worry. What if a war did happen? What if something did kick off? All the people I love will fight. My friends, my family, Oliver. I couldn’t risk losing everything when right now I was happy. My life was perfect. It was everything I had ever wanted. Everything I had ever needed.

                I noticed that the water wasn’t flowing like normal. I looked up and noticed the water was suspended in mid-air. Damn you water ability. I calmed myself and they all dropped to the floor. I shook my hair. This was going to take some getting used to.

                I climbed out of the shower and dried myself and my hair and slipped into my clothes I had set up. My hair was in a messy bun with some curled strands hanging loosely down at the side. I had a tiara on and my wedding rings. I didn’t wear any make-up now. Since, I had mated my complexion was always perfect and my body always remained in a perfect state.

                I placed on an actual silver bracelet and slipped on my shoes. You may be wondering about the silver thing. We can wear silver and silver can touch our skin. It doesn’t cause us a problem. If it enters our blood it causes problems. It doesn’t kill us but it stops our wolves’ faster healing abilities for a couple of days so any injuries we sustain after that can be fatal.

                I walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom to see Oliver just stirring from his sleep. He looked at me and smiled climbing out of bed. He walked up to me and gave me a quick kiss.

                “Morning beautiful. It is breakfast with our advisors today isn’t it?” Oliver asked.

                I nodded my head in reply. “Hurry up, we have 15 minutes until ten o’clock.”

                Oliver nodded before going and getting changed. I walked out of our room and down stairs. I had just made it into the living room when the doors to our wing burst open. I turned looking for danger to see Tommy and Anna-Marie stood there.
