(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 informed your headquarters. They had thought you died" The man finally spoke.
I tilted my head and looked at him confused.
"He has no memory of his past, Daniel. But I have told him of what I know. Like his name and his job." Isabella said as the man named Daniel nodded his head.
"I see. It's ok. I have told your group you are safe in this clinic. They did request for a transfer of clinic so you will be closer to your troops but it's a huge risk. Recently the attack has been more prominent." He said his face filled with anger.
"That good for nothing aliens have attacked 3 refugee camps. We lost a countless number of people. One of them was a fucking children camp!" the earthling said as I tensed.
Children camp?
"Did anyone make it alive?" Isabella asked worriedly.
"Only a hand full. The attack was sudden. The soldiers were unprepared" he said as I sighed.
"But we're able to find out one thing," he said gaining my interest.
"Prince Nyx of the Zylians went missing a week ago," he said as my eyes widen.
"He is missing?" Isabella asked as the soldier nodded.
"Yes. He is the one who will be crowned as the future king of Zylian." He said as we nodded.
"The government has sent off a notice. If we can find the prince we will be rewarded dearly. If we get our hands on the prince we will be able to have the upper hand over the Zylians" he said as I tensed.
"What do you think will they do with the prince?" Isabella asked.
"I don't know. Most probably blackmail the Zylians. Maybe kill him. Or experiment with their weakness. I'm not sure" Daniel said as I sighed.
Great more reason to get out of here.
After that Daniel went back to his camp base. The clinic was busy as new patients came in.
I watched as Isabelle walked around the room tending to the new patients. It seems like there was an attack and this time it was even bigger.
I have been here for a week and my absence must have caused panic among my people.
I should go back soon.
I can almost walk without any pain but she still suggests I do therapy for 3 more days.
I have also noticed that as time pass I am falling in love with my mate. She is different from any other girl I met.
She cares for everyone, prioritizes everyone before her.
Today morning she was acting very strangely. At one moment I saw her smiling and laughing with that child Rosie, the next time I saw her in a room crying alone.
She was clutching onto something and crying silently
It broke my heart to see her like this.
"Isabelle" I called as her whole body tensed.
She quickly put the thing down and I saw that it was a photo frame.
"What happened?" I asked.
"It nothing," she said as she turned, her back facing me. She wiped her tears but it seems more was coming out.
My heart clenched at the sight of my hurt mate and I hate this feeling.
She is my enemy.
An involuntary sob broke through, snapping my head to her.
"I'm... sorry. Shit. I wished you didn't see me like this. I just... um..." she couldn't finish as she let out another wheeze.
My body moved on its own and I grabbed hold of her hand in an attempt to comfort her.
But she surprised me by turning around and hugging me completely. I tensed not knowing what to do.
"It's my papa's 6th death anniversary," she said her voice hoarse from crying.
I sighed and wrapped one arm around her waist while the other ran through her hair.
"It's ok. Let it all out" I said as she grabbed hold of my shirt and cried.
Don't know how long we have been standing here but my leg started to pain real bad. But I didn't tell her.
I kissed the top of her head as she kept crying.
A part of me was aching for her but the other part kept shouting how wrong this is.
She is my mate but she is also my enemy.
If my father finds out about this he will definitely kill her. I can't let that happen.
And I can't fall for this forbidden relation. I know it will never end well.
I will have to leave this place soon. As fast as possible. Today when everyone is asleep I will go back.
But for this one last time, I want to hold her.
(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.
(Notice - The one's in italic means the native language of Zylians)(Prince Nyx POV)I looked at my mother not knowing what to do. "Nyx. I can understand if you don't want to talk to me. You don't need to force yourself. But remember one thing- I am your mother. I will support you no matter what others say" she said as I smile and nod.“Actually, I want to share it with you," I said as she nods.“How about we discuss it over something to eat?" she asked as I nod.“I love that"After that, we both went to the kitchen.“
