Theodore

My head is throbbing painfully as I stand in line to get my morning coffee that I desperately need to be able to continue functioning.

I am still surprised that I actually managed to get out of bed in the first place.

Pulling my hoodie further into my face, I sigh, asking the barista for the strongest coffee they have.

“Do you want a muffin to go with it?” she asks happily, her high-pitched voice piercing into my brain.

My stomach churns, bile rising into my throat as I shake my h

    Theodore“It’s a royal mark.” My heart beats into my throat as I turn around to face Helades standing in the door frame. “They are larger than the usual mark you might have read about. Sorry, I wasn’t able to warn you about that.” I stare at him agape until my brain starts functioning again, making me blink. “Sorry, I must have hallucinated for a second. What?” “A royal mark,” he explains, lifting his finger to point at it. “It is usually bigger than the normal mate marks. Gilda told me about you scrolling through those forums for research. You could have asked me if you wanted to know something about my world or the other realms.” My breath hitches in my throat, and I look at him agape, crossing my hands behind my neck. “What?” I whisper, watching him take a step closer. “I know that I have been an asshole. But I would have wanted to be the one to teach you all those things. I’m really sorry, Theodore. I have been an idiot. I was so scared about the crown, and I spent so long ru

    Theodore“Oh, my god,” I whisper under my breath. “What happened?”The doctor shrugs, her eyes sparkling. “I don’t say that lightly. But it was a miracle. During the night, we had to take the tubes out because you started breathing on your own. We did another screening because the machines showed that you were responding to different impulses. And as the results came back, we were shocked. Your blood levels were extraordinary, and after running more tests, we couldn’t find the congenital heart defect you had since birth, which was diagnosed a few months ago. It was gone.”“Gone?” I ask, staring at her agape. “How? Was there a mistake?”She shakes her head. “That was our first thought, too.

    TheodoreA faint rustle wakes me up, my eyes burning as I force them open.“That’s too bright,” I rasp out, my words turning into a coughing fit.A nurse hurries to stand next to my bed, filling a glass with water. I take it with shaky hands, fearing I will spill everything. “Slowly, don’t worry about spilling a bit.”She helps me drink by supporting the glass just enough to make me feel like I’m doing it on my own. “Aah,” I breathe out, my throat feeling as if I had been eating sand. “Thank you.”She puts down the glass, passing her palms over her scrubs, and I clear my throat. “Are you an angel? Am I dead?”

    Nathanael400 years ago Ugh, I’m full. I think I need to throw up. Observing Fyodor checking his bandages like a curious child without a care in the world, I can’t stop asking myself what is wrong with me. “Are you feeling alright?” “Yeah, I guess so.” He moves his gaze to me, setting down his foot with a smile. “Thank you. I guess you saved me?” I close my eyes with a sigh, shrugging. “Well, I couldn’t leave you behind without getting you jailed for doing a massacre, so… What were you doing there, by the way?” He shifts in his seat, tilting his head. “I was trying to run away.” “Run away? From what?” Chuckling shyly, he shakes his head, and strangely, a burning sensation explodes in my chest. “There was an execution starting on the main square. I panicked and fled into an alley. I didn’t want to see someone else die. Yesterday was enough for me.” He averts his gaze shortly before looking back at me. “That must be sounding stupid, I know.” “It doesn’t sound stupid. It IS stu

    Nathanael400 years ago “Are you serious?”"Isn't the Prince exaggerating?" “Psst, are you crazy?! Do you want to burn as well?” “Well, you missed the execution yesterday. Have you ever watched children being burnt at the stake, Karl? I don’t think so. Or you wouldn’t tell anyone to fucking shut up.” “Fyodor!” The hissing of one of the men causes the entire discussion to slow down, the tones turning quieter. I take a sip of my beer, forcing myself not to distort my face in disgust. The beginning of something ugly is clearly floating in the air, and it creates so much tension triggered by fear that it even makes me want to go back to the palace. “They even executed a priest,” another says, in a whispered tone that I wouldn’t get if it wasn’t for my enhanced hearing ability. “This is madness.” I lift my glass towards the innkeeper, who is glancing their way with a suspecting expression. “Can I get another one?” He nods, his annoyance about me interrupting him eavesdropping cl

    Nathanael“This way,” Gilda pushes out, her heels clicking on the floor.We are running to reach the ICU, and I die inside with every slow-ass step I have to take to mask my inhuman speed.Alpha Hunter skyrockets out of his seat as soon as we turn the corner, his hair disheveled at how many times he must have passed his hands through it.“They won’t let me in. They don’t give me any information because I’m not family,” he announces exasperated, and I push past him.“Let me take care of it,” I growl, reaching a nurse standing behind a reception desk.She lifts her hands, her empathy heavy in her voice. &ldq

    Theodore I groan as I open my eyes at the sunbeams falling in through the window, waking me up in the most ungently way. “Fuck,” I rasp out, my throat feeling like I have screamed at the top of my lungs all night. Halting in my movements, I jerk up, a flashback of how Helades slams into me flicke

    Nathanael I look up as Gilda walks into my office humming. She has a big smile plastered on her face. I’m used to her being a ray of sunshine, all in contrast to me, but this is creeping me out either way. Especially as I know that she just came back from lunch with… Baxter. I ignore my de

    Theodore “Ugh, I want to die,” I groan, hitting my head against my desk. “Someone please shoot me now.” Since Gilda and I came back from our lunch, Helades had been chasing me around with stupid requests. Maybe I’m an inexperienced IT guy, but I can’t be that stupid to notice that what he asked

    Theodore “Can I ask you something pushy?” I ask, causing Gilda’s eyes to widen as she takes a bite of her sandwich. “I guess it depends,” she giggles, and I lean forward, grinning. “The boss.” I clear my throat, rubbing my hands under the table. “Is it possible that he is into men?” “Well
