"We should get going." She told him, pointing to the door behind him.She turned to Celine, who had walked closer."Bye bye honey, I'll be back tonight. Be nice to the gentleman okay?" She instructed.She kissed her forehead before moving to her father. She then pressed her lips against his cheek tenderly before pulling away. He placed his hands over where she had kissed him and smiled. He looked over his shoulder at his daughter before kissing her forehead once more."Goodbye Celine. Have fun today okay." He said softly.Celine smiled brightly before nodding."Okay Daddy! Bye!" She answered happily.Both parents chuckled softly before finally leaving. As soon as they exited the room, Celine turned around to face her father."So, where is mummy going?" She questioned curiously.He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly before answering.She giggled happily and wrapped her arms around his waist."Daddy, what would you do without me?" She teased, smiling widely.He laughed softly and
He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. He wanted to comfort his daughter but it wasn't that simple. He knew how much it hurt to be told you weren't good enough but it wasn't like that. No one would ever tell anyone that they were good enough because no one would actually mean that. He couldn't promise to fix the situation, but maybe he could make her happy. Maybe, if he made sure she knew that she deserved someone better, then she would believe him. He took a deep breath and pushed himself out of his seat. He walked over to the couch before kneeling in front of her. His knees hit the hardwood flooring and Celine jumped a little in surprise at the sudden change in position."Listen kiddo," He started as he slowly reached forward. "There are some people out there that aren't good for you. Some people aren't good for anybody."He let out a sigh as he reached forward. He grabbed both of her hands in his own and pulled them away from her face to look into her eyes
"Why don't we take a walk?" She suggested softly. "We haven't gone outside in a while."He gave a smile as he nodded his head in agreement."That sounds nice." He agreed.They both hopped out of bed and headed downstairs. Roman walked ahead of Celine with his hand in his pocket as she continued to trail behind him. He led her to the door, unlocked it, and stepped outside before turning around. She hesitated for a moment before following after him and closing the door behind her."Where would you like to go?" She asked as they stood in silence for several minutes."I'd prefer going somewhere where there's no crowds." He responded. "Maybe the zoo?"She frowned slightly."Is that alright?"He nodded his head slightly."Yeah, that sounds great."She smiled lightly and turned to face him."Then lead the way." She said, extending a hand out for him to take. He gladly took it and intertwined their fingers. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze before leading her down the street. The two wande
Roman growled threateningly at his brother as he slammed the door in his face and slammed his fist against the door repeatedly, screaming profanities at him. He collapsed onto the floor panting heavily. He stared at the ground blankly as tears streamed down his cheeks. He heard footsteps coming towards the stairs, however, he didn't bother looking up."King Roman." Celine whispered sadly.He ignored her as he continued to cry softly. He was terrified of his eldest brother knowing about Celine. He knew that if his brother ever found out that his son and heir was having an affair, he would never forgive him. It would destroy their family name and destroy the relationship that they had created. He would never be able to marry Celine. Not only did he not deserve her; he didn't even deserve her friendship. If anything, he deserved his older brother. Roman knew that Celine would eventually leave her father because he had become a monster and he wasn't fit to be a father anymore. A few mo
She opened her eyes wide and looked around in confusion. Why was she in another room? She looked up and gasped loudly. Standing in front of her, his hands pressed firmly against her sides, was her future husband, Roman. His green eyes gazed at her intensely. The heat radiating from his body radiated through the thin fabric of her nightshirt. Slowly, he bent his head downwards and pressed his lips against hers. She responded enthusiastically, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. He groaned and deepened the kiss, his tongue gliding across her bottom lip. She whimpered at the contact, causing him to pull back from the kiss."Celine." He breathed, leaning his forehead against hers."I love you." He whispered, pressing his lips against her again.Celine giggled lightly."I love you too."He broke free from her embrace and rested her down on the bed gently."I need to take off my clothes." She murmured, blushing bright red."Okay." He replied, pulling up his trousers and tossing the
"We should go downstairs and start dinner." He muttered."Alright." She agreed easily.When they got downstairs, however, it appeared that they weren't alone. There was a large group of people standing around and eating in the dining room. Upon seeing Celine emerge from behind Roman, however, the entire crowd grew silent and turned to look at her. Her blood ran cold. The faces of the wolves she'd seen staring at her earlier flashed quickly through her mind. It made her stomach turn. The one wolf in particular, however, seemed especially curious about her. She couldn't tell what his facial features looked like, she was unable to look directly at him. Nevertheless, she somehow knew that he would recognize her eventually. A shiver went up her spine and she gripped tightly on to Roman's arm.Roman noticed her discomfort and frowned worriedly. He then leaned in close and whispered something to her ear. She stiffened slightly and nodded. She didn't want to have any more unnecessary conve
"Don't ever think that you're going anywhere Roman." She spat. "If I thought that you were going to leave me, I would never have forgiven myself. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I let you go."Roman raised an eyebrow and stared at her questioningly."So why do you want me to stay? Did you finally decide that you don't care about me anymore? Have you forgotten your promise to give yourself to me?" He asked with furrowed eyebrows."Of course not! Don't think for a second that I've forgotten about what I promised you. I just need a little bit more time."Roman stared at her blankly for a moment before he rolled his eyes."Are you serious, Celine? When you asked me to take you away from here and never let you see your family again, I said yes because I knew exactly what you were talking about. Now you've gone and done exactly what you said you were going to do."He shook his head and sighed loudly before glancing back up at her."I understand that you need time Celine. I truly d
"No. You have to eat some of this." He said softly.His eyes were gentle. Almost sympathetic. But his expression remained stoic. There was no warmth in his gaze. No kindness. Just pure emotionless determination. That's when she noticed how much he looked alike her late father. The way his jawline was sharp and square and his piercing green eyes burned into yours. The way he held himself. Even the way he spoke. If not for his appearance alone, she might not have known that he was related to her.With a sigh, she dropped her hand back down onto her lap and started to pick at the food on her plate. Suddenly, something else caught her eye on her plate and she glanced up curiously. She frowned slightly as she picked up the small glass bottle that was lying next to the plate. Her eyes widened slightly. Was that what she thought it was? Before she could stop herself, she brought the object close to her face and inhaled deeply."What is that?" Roman questioned as he tilted his head slightl
