My father gingerly rubbed soothing circles over my back, "Relax, it's just me."

Soul searching silver eyes stared back at me. I didn't need to take him in. But, he was wearing black ripped jeans, a black v-neck shirt and a black leather jacket. For someone that had been missing, he looked really good with strands of his jet black hair falling on his face. He was resting on the hood of a black Bugatti. I'd never actually seen him with that car. But then fuck him. The intensity of his stare made my heart hammer. Only him could do that to me. The first thing on my mind was to run across the driveway and jump on him. I was almost going to execute that but I stopped myself.

I am wearing joggers and a round neck t-shirt Zuri gave me with an ugly sandals she bought around the shop. The sandals has double crossings that reminds me of the Spartans. ‘’I told you it's cool,’’ I say as I walk into the shop. She claps her hands together with her full teeth on display. ‘’Yeah?’’

***** Asteria was walking outside with her servant, trying to reach her chamber when she came across a woman with several servants following her. “Greetings, your majesty,” the woman bowed down. “It is my honor to meet you in the palace.” Her eyebrows raised while staring at the woman’s appearance. She had fair skin partnered with her brown hair, green eyes, and pointed nose. Asteria thought that the woman was beautiful. The woman noticed her curious look and spoke, “I am Jestina Castemont, your majesty. I am moving my things to my new chamber just beside the King’s.” Asteria became astounded.

He is just doing what he does best; protecting. 0o0o0o0o When we finally return to Castle Rock, it is midday. The sun beats down on the white snow, reflecting it up into our eyes. Even though the sun shines, it is still mercilessly freezing cold. Cesar knows the secret entrance to the castle so he takes me that way, instead of entering through the front gates.

The cold air at high altitude nips at my face, a contrast to the cosy and luxurious atmosphere inside the plane with its soft leather seats and champagne. I can’t resist looking out into the distance, where Cassian’s castle stands tall. “Welcome to my kingdom, Reyna,” Cassian says proudly from behind me, his voice resonating with pride.

Whatever it was, it was large, very much so if I have anything to say about it. We drove through several miles of forest after entering the gate, before finally breaking out into ……well….this.
