(Isabella POV)
“Your wound is healing really well. At this rate, we can start our therapy soon.” I commented as I once again changed his bandage.
“Thank you,” he said as I smiled and nodded.
It’s been 2 days since he came here. He doesn’t speak much but he stares a lot. I would always feel his eyes on me when I work. On top of that, he doesn’t allow any other doctors to treat him.
It was like he only trusts me. A smile made way to my face on that thought before I shook my head.
Bad Isabella!
Today the clinic was a bit busy. There are many people who are wounded since there was a sudden Zylian attack. The soldiers were cursing the Zylians for the sudden merciless attack.
Unfortunately, they attacked a travel bus carrying women and children to the new camp base. But lucky for us, none were killed.
Many of them were wounded badly and some of them even needed risky surgery.
The whole day has worn me out but it’s my job.
“Are you alright?” Killian asked as I smiled and nodded.
“Yea. It was kind of busy today. Took a lot of energy” I said as he frowned.
“You can go and sleep,” he said as I laughed.
“We need to change your medicine in the middle of the night. Will you allow the others to do it?” I asked pointing to Nancy and Jaylen.
He frowned, even more, looking at them.
I couldn’t help but reach out my hand to smoothen the lines on his forehead.
But just like other times, he grabs my wrist.
“I’m sorry,” I said as he nodded and looked away.
I sighed as I finished his bandages and went to the kitchen.
I stared at my hands before forming into a fist. I tapped my forehead in frustration at what I did.
I know he refuses to let me touch him other than when I’m doing a check up. Even then he tenses his body.
What was I doing? I’m so confused with what I’m feeling right now. I feel like I’m not me around him.
I feel an urge to give him special care. To give him all my priority. It’s strange how bad I always want to be around him.
“Do you need anything, Doctor?” A familiar voice came from behind.
“Oh hey, Neha” I greeted one of the cooks.
“I just came for some water,” I said as she nodded.
“Did you bring the jar?” she asked as I blinked a few times before my eyes widen.
“Shit! I forgot! I will go get it!” I said walking out but she stopped me.
“It's ok. You can bring it next time. I will give you another one” she said as I smiled and nodded.
“Thank you”
After returning to the clinic I walked around tending other patients. I stared at the curtain which covers Killian from the other people.
I sighed and shook my head as I continued to work.
“You seem to be sighing a lot,” Jaylen asked as he came and sat next to me.
“I’m just tired,” I said as he smiled and nodded.
The clinic was now at peace as we settled everyone.
Suddenly a hand grabbed under my chin before I was turned to face him.
“Your face is flushed. I think it's better you call it a day and rest. I will take the night shift today” he said, his eyes filled with worry.
“Isabella! I need water!” A voice echoed loudly making us both jump.
I looked at Killian as he glares at Jaylen. It shocked me as I saw him looking at Jaylen with pure hatred.
“I’m coming,” I said as my heart beat fast.
Why am I getting so frustrated when he called my name?
"I will go give him," Jaylen said bit I shook my head.
"No. He is still tensed around others"
He rarely calls my name. Hell, he rarely talks!
But his voice just sent shivers throughout my body.
“Y-your water” I mumbled as I handed him a glass of water.
He silently took it and I watched as he gulps it down in one go.
“Do you need anything else?” I asked as he shook his head.
“Ok then. I will be at my table” I said but a hand quickly grabbed my wrist.
I turned around and looked at him with wide eyes but he seems to be just as shocked as me. He was staring at his hand which grabbed mine.
Immediately he let go and let out a cough looking away.
“Um. Sorry. I’m just um bored?” he said but it was a question at the end.
“Um… So... um… would you like me to accompany you?” I asked as he nodded quickly.
“That would be nice.”
(Isabella POV)Awkwardness filled the air as I looked around the room.We have been sitting here for 15 minutes and we haven't spoken a single word.I once again glanced at him but I instantly regretted it.He was looking at me. Both of our eyes widen before we look away.I blush hard red and I know I must have become as red as a tomato.“Ummmm…. What is going on?" Another voice rose as I looked to see Nancy looking at us confused.“Nancy? Wh-what is it? You want anything?" I asked trying my best not to stutter.“Oh no. I just saw you guys as I passed by. Please continue." She grinned winking at him. I groaned and covered my face knowing exactly what she thinks.“Are you alright?" he asked as I looked at him by making space between my figures.“Yea" I said clearing my throat.“Can you tell me more about you?" he asked a
(Isabella POV)I stared at his wound shocked at how good it healed.It’s much better than I have expected. Too fast in healing.I looked at his eyes with confusion. He stared back at me with his gold eyes.Those eyes held mystery and I couldn’t help but want to know more about him.
(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 inform
(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?&
