I stood beside Lexus in front of his parents King Peter and Queen Jane with Konn behind us. “You believe you’re the holder?”
“We believe she’s the holder because of the power of sight in her third eye. She also had a holder dream last night,” Lexus answered.
The King looked down at me. “What have you seen with your third eye?”
I thought about Cade arguing with Vella during work and Princess Hannah sneaking out to ditch class. I couldn’t say either of those because it would throw them under the bus. “I saw Konn speaking with the two of you here this morning. You two were disagreeing about something then Konn left, and Gray was waiting for him outside the door.” I looked at their desk. “There were papers on the desk, documents of the kingdom’s complaints.” I tried to remember other details that were different. I looked at the tv. “An interview was playing on the tv.”
“That's enough,” The Queen stopped me. “We believe you. Now what was your d
My eyes rolled back with pleasure and he put his hand down my pants. Like last time we were interrupted by his phone ringing. He pulled away and answered his phone. “Sadia?” Sadia called again; the universe must have hated me. “Hannah told me to call you before the guards took her back to the castle. She was in the forest about midway from the pack house and castle.” “Do you want me to head over?” “Come over around eight, I have work to do.” So, Lexus had work too. He hung up then put his phone away. “Come on let’s get this work done. My parents like to give me responsibilities, like how we helped that village. Some of it is paperwork and some of it is making calls. Cade helps with this stuff usually and he was going to today but you’re my full-time aid now so he’ll be assigned something else.” I was still sexually frustrated while he completely moved on. “Okay…” “Are you a virgin?” He asked. I wasn’t expecting
“I’m glad you enjoyed your classes so much,” Lexus replied after I went on and on telling him about how much I loved them and everything I learned today. “You were really focused on our piano lesson.” “Yeah, I was hyper focused…” I mumbled. “It was exciting. I haven’t learned a new instrument for a while.” He looked concerned. “Hyper focused? Did you take your meds this morning?” I looked away nervously. “No… I was so excited for the day I forgot to but it’s fine. Hyper focusing isn’t the worst thing.” “It was hard to get you to want to leave, the lesson went on for another twenty minutes. You must be hungry right?” It wasn’t like he was my boyfriend so it was hard seeing him care so much when he would only be my boss or something like that. “That’s because time went too fast.” I sighed. “Yeah, I am hungry... I’ve been hungry for a while. I’m supposed to be the one looking after you, it’s my job.” Lexus rolled his eyes. “That doe
It was almost hard to believe that it was normal here to be so close to your family when mine abandoned me. I guess we weren’t much of a family to begin with since I wasn’t Lynn’s daughter. “You should keep me updated on how things go.” “I will,” Arma agreed. Princess Hannah was walking down the hall in our direction. She had a girl with her. “Aqua, are you busy?” She stopped walking when she got to me to ask. I shook my head. “No, not at all.” “Aqua this is Lydia. Lydia, this is Aqua, our adviser’s daughter.” She introduced us. I smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, Lydia.” Lydia looked confused to why we were being introduced and so was I. “It’s nice to meet you too…” She was the shy type. She grabbed Hannah's arm and didn’t say anything else. “That’s all.” Hannah walked off with Lydia. I didn’t really know Hannah, so I assumed she some kind of ulterior motive to introducing me to her friend. I didn’t have a good feeling abo
I wasn’t looking forward to my second class of the day since it was just Konn teaching me how to do his job. “I do a lot more than just advise. While the king and queen run the kingdom, I help them out by running the castle so that everything else is easier for them. The guards report to me if they see or deal with anything out of the ordinary. I deal with it then I report what’s important to the king and queen. I also filter a lot of their work out from most important to least important and take care of whatever other tasks they give me.” He was making their job a lot easier on them. Lexus called me this morning and made sure I took my medication, so I was able to concentrate well. The reason I wasn’t looking forward to this was because of yesterday and how I got upset about not being included in his family. “Noted.” I said without physically taking notes. “You’re not interested?” Konn asked so I guess I wasn’t doing the best job hiding my emotions. I
I didn’t have a relationship with Konn before, so I didn’t have the same feelings as they did. “It was like a normal lesson,” I answered while staring down at the paperwork. “I think I upset him.” It was better for me to open up instead of what I was doing before. Cade was my older brother so I felt like I should get advice rom him and to do that I have to open up Cade stopped writing and looked at me. “What do you mean? He’s not very expressive of how he feels, maybe you misunderstood.” I read through the first document then spoke. “I think I’m stressing him out by being here. He said things were hard and that we all were trying to adjust.” I put my elbow on the desk and rest my head in my hand. “Things would be easier if you or Gray were the holder instead of me. Then Konn never would have had to come get me.” Cade scoffed. “You really would want that? Obviously, things are going to be difficult at first Aqua. You’ve been here for less than a month. Out of
I frowned. “You can always drink water; I want to enjoy the festival. Would it be weird if we just stayed together?”Lexus looked around. “It’s not like we planned this, if anyone asks, we’ll just tell them what happened. They’ll assume I’m just being nice since you have no other choices.” I was more excited to be with Lexus at the festival than Calvin.“Oh, how selfless of you,” I said sarcastically. We started walking. “Do you really see me as your friend?”“Yeah, I do,” Lexus answered while looking over the crowd. Knowing that he saw me as a friend made me feel like we really were getting close. “That’s the main reason I asked Cade to help us earlier. We didn’t need the extra help. I thought you could spend a little time with your brother.”I blushed. “That was nice of you.” I stared at his hand but knew I couldn’t hold it
I waved to Cade when I saw him with his family. They walked to us, but Lynn looked annoyed. “Hey Aqua, Lexus, where's your dates?” Cade asked.“There was an emergency, so Calvin and Sadia had to leave. Sadia sent me a text letting me know everything is fine but I’m not sure when they’re going to be headed back. They might miss the fireworks. We decided to wait for them together.”“I hope you guys are enjoying yourselves,” Konn said. I was since I was here with Lexus.Vella was with them and she looked annoyed too. “Yeah, I hope so too.” She was bitter in tone. She must have still suspected something was going on.I wished I could spend the rest of the festival with them. “Thanks, I hope you guys enjoy yourselves too.” I watched Gray pull on Konn’s sweater. “Dad, come on, I wanna play that game.”I wish I could play with my younger brother but I couldn&rsqu
“You hadn’t shown up to your first class yet, so my father sent me to figure out where you were. Just let me in Lexus!” Cade yelled. Lexus held the door, so it was only cracked open while Cade pushed against it. “I’m not decent Cade, I overslept. I’ll get ready and just show up late.” He looked at me. He wasn’t wrong about being indecent, he only had his boxers on. I sat up and looked around panicking. I didn’t have any clothes on, and I looked a mess. It was obvious I slept here. I jumped out of bed and started putting my clothes on. “I just want to talk and to know where my sister is.” He whispered. “She wasn’t in her room and you were with her last. I’m just a little worried.” He sighed. “I’m sure she’s fine Cade, just come back in fifteen minutes.” Lexus said and lightened his grip on the door since they had calmed down. Or he thought they did because Cade pushed his way inside. His eyes widened when he saw me buckling my pants. “What
