Heather's POV

The morning sun, usually a welcome sight, felt like a cruel spotlight mocking my sleepless night. I had tossed and turned, throughout the night, unable to get even a glimpse of a sleep. Prince Keith's tear-streaked face was a haunting replay in my mind throughout the night and each time I tried to push the worry away, it only intensified, making a knot tightening in my stomach.

The sudden knock on my door halted my thoughts and I quickly stood up from the bed, combing my hair through my fingers before opening the door. I saw Lucinda standing in front of my door, she arrived with my breakfast, and the tray was laden with pastries and steaming tea. "Good morning, Princess Heather," she greeted, her voice gentle.

"Good morning, Lucinda," I replied, forcing a smile. "Thank you," I said after she placed the tray on the table.

"Do you need me to help you with anything? Or should I draw a bath first before you take your breakfast?" Lucinda asked, her eyes around my room looking

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   24: Unlikely Care

    Heather's POVI suddenly became aware of how lost I had been and I felt embarrassed immediately, without a warning, I pushed the door inward, catching Prince Keith completely off guard. He had been halfway through closing it, his expression a mix of annoyance and...something else I couldn't quite decipher in the dim light of his chamber."I didn't permit you to step into my room, Heather," he said, his voice low, a clear indication of his growing irritation."I know," I replied, my own voice surprisingly steady despite the adrenaline pumping through me. I pushed the door the rest of the way open and kicked it shut, the thud echoing a little too loudly in the space but I didn't care. "And I'm not stepping out until I know what is wrong with you, what is going on Prince Keith?”He let out a short, humorless laugh. "What makes you think I'm going to tell you anything?"I shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant, though my heart hammered against my ribs. "I'm sure you are not okay, it’s quit

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   22:Raw Emotions

    Heather's POVMy heart hammered against my ribs as the book I held suddenly felt rough and scratchy for my trembling fingers. The words swam before my eyes, each syllable that I had read had helped with my understanding of the world, of the King, and most terrifyingly, of Prince Keith. Was the king aware that everything was documented and how come no one had said anything about it? Or was I the one that doesn’t know what was happening or the history of the kingdom because I was busy trying to be a good person to my father, stepmother, and step-sister? I still couldn’t understand the death of Prince Keith's parents, the rebellion that took place ten years ago... all orchestrated by our King? It was a monstrous betrayal, a festering wound hidden beneath layers of royal ceremony and smiling pronouncements.Then if all these were true, why? Why would the King allow Prince Keith to live? He was supposed to be a potential threat to his throne. Maybe it was all because the world saw him as

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   21:The Real Prince Keith

    Prince Keith's POVI looked at the document I had received earlier from my men and I couldn't hide how disappointed I was. I wanted more but it seemed it was hard penetrating the king's chambers, I was slowly losing my patience but at the same time I had to remind myself the reason I started. A sharp rap at the door suddenly shattered the silence. My immediate instinct was to panic, I quickly sat down in my wheelchair, and spun around, forcing myself to be calm before I spoke. "Enter," I called out, the word sounding hollow even to my own ears.The door swung inward and the Grand Luna stepped inside, her eyes sweeping over the room, missing nothing. I remained quiet as she closed the door and made her way forward, her presence was shocking because she was never someone who would visit my room, what changed? "Keith," she said, her voice low like a melodious hum. "What are you doing shut up in here all alone?""Resting, Grand Luna. Just... resting." I replied as I wheeled towards her

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   20: Temptation

    Heather's POVIt didn't take much time for Molly to finish eating and we returned back to the palace, the walk back to the palace was filled with silence as my mind was preoccupied, even though I tried to hide how concerned I was, I couldn't do it. We finally returned to my room, sat down and I noticed Molly's eyes were on me, she cleared her throat and asked, "Are you angry about what they said about Prince Keith?"The question was sudden and unexpected, I couldn't stop myself as I burst into laughter. "Angry? Why would I be angry, Molly? You were only saying the truth of what you know about him and apart from that, It's not like I'm harboring some secret desire about him, it's when you are in love with a man you care about that stuff." The words felt hollow even to my own ears, but it was a desperate attempt to mask the fact I was affected by the words I had read or heard. Molly had only smiled knowingly, which was an infuriating, gentle smile that saw right through me but she sai

  • Fated To The Prince Of Rebel   19: Troubled Heart

    Heather's POV My cheeks burned with humiliation as I slammed my bedroom door shut. Prince Keith's words were so condensing and dismissive, I still couldn't believe what had made him think of all that, how could he think I had a purpose or I was happy with the fact that Nyles was sent out of the palaces Was that what he thought this was? I was just trying to be decent, especially after... well, after the drunken disaster. I had tried to forget about it, pushed it to the back of my mind, but his coldness made the awkwardness resurface.I needed a distraction, something to pull me out of this swirling vortex of confusion and hurt pride. My gaze landed on the book I had pilfered from the palace library a few days ago, still remembering it contains the details of the history of Dovontae's monarchy, something that could help me understand Prince Keith and the palace more. I reached for it and settled onto the bed, willing myself to focus on the dense text.The book talked about King Alaric
