|- For Every Girl Who Thinks She's Met Her Prince-|...Well I Have...Literaly. And He Has A Secret. (Prolouge)

Alek’s P.O.V (That’s right guys!)
I’ve been driving for almost six hours now, but I’m almost there.

“It would have been faster if I had run…” I mumble to myself.

I am close now, and I feel my grip tighten around the steering wheel. I take deep breaths and force myself to loosen my grip, any harder and I will snap it in half.

I keep thinking of what happened to Rayne the night before.

Someone is going to have to die for that.

I slow the car down as reach the border. I know once I cross over, I’m on their territory.

I get out of the car and walk right in front of the border.

And then I take a step over it, and wait.

Nothing.

I raise one of my eyebrows suspiciously and begin to take another step.

Maybe this time they won’t—

WHAM!

I’m grabbed by the neck and thrown on the ground.

I groan. “I have no time for this Striker.”

He lowers his face down to mine. “What are you doing here half-breed? Shouldn’t you be off at your palace doing something important?”

I sigh impatiently. “Let me up Striker.”

“How ‘bout I just kill you instead?”

Striker was a big guy, completely muscle from head to toe. No doubt able to crush a human skull without much of an effort.

But I swear to God if he doesn’t let me up, he’ll be dead within the next four seconds.

“Let him up Striker.” I hear a voice coming from behind.

He doesn’t move from over me though, he just growls.

“Striker.” The voice repeats “Let. Him. Up. Now.”

“Didn’t you hear him?” I said with a mock smile. “Let me up.”

He releases my neck and allows me to stand up.

“You’re lucky half-breed.” He says as he walks away.

I turn to the man who had ordered Striker off of me and I am filled with nothing but hatred.

“Kaden.” I say

“Alek,” He replies “How good to see you again. I’m sure you feel the same?”

I don’t say anything.

“Or…maybe not.” He says with a smile “So to what do I owe this visit?”

I walk in front of him.

“Two of your men crossed the boarder yesterday. They attacked someone.” I tell him.

“Ah, yes. Kyson and Trager. You gave them quite a fright yesterday. Don’t worry; they will be punished for their actions.”

“Just don’t let it happen again.” I turn and begin to walk away.

“Wait. You’re telling me that you drove all this way just to tell me that.”

I turn and look at him.

“I was thinking of killing these men ‘Kyson and Trager’, but I need to get back.” Once again I begin to walk away.

“To you’re fiancé?”

I stop.

“Well Alek?”

“How do you know about her?” I demand.

“Oh Alek, you should know by now.” He replies with a smile “I know everything.”

“She’s a pretty one. Rayne, isn’t it? Long red brown hair and big green eyes. I can definitely see why you want to get back to her.”

“But tell me Alek,” he says and then pauses. “Does she know what you are?”

SLAM

I pin him against a tree.

“Don’t you ever, talk about her again.” I am shaking with anger. I want so badly to kill
him.

“But you can’t can you?” He says with a smile “You wouldn’t. My, how you look like your father.”

I release him and quickly take steps back.

“Just keep your men away from her.”

I turn and walk away.

“Has she seen the scar yet Alek?” he yells “She’ll want to know!”

I keep walking, I don’t look back

“You can’t fight it forever!” He yells after me. “Sooner or later, Alek, sooner or later.”

Still Alek’s P.O.V
When I get back to Lyon Hall, it’s already past midnight.

I walk in and up the stairs. Once I get into my room I notice that Rayne isn’t alone in the bed.

“Tess” I whisper. I smile. I’ve always liked that girl, and she takes care of Rayne. I move quietly across the room and tap Tess on the shoulder. She snaps awake.

She looks at me and smiles.

“Alek.” She whispers. “She didn’t want to be alone.”

I nod. “Thank you. For looking after her.”

She smiles even bigger and crawls out of the bed.

“I’ll go sleep in the other room. Goodnight Alek.”

“Goodnight Tess.”

As Tess begins to leave the room I look down at Rayne.

Tess is almost out the door, but then she pauses.

“Alek…?

“Hm?” I reply slightly distracted

“I told her.”

“What?!?” I yell-whisper

“She had a right to know Alek. She was confused.”

I look down at Rayne again.

“How did she…” I start to ask


“I don’t know. She wouldn’t talk to me.” She whispers to me. “I think she just wanted you.”

Tess leaves the room.

I get undressed and into bed and pull Rayne into me.

I’m not tired; I never sleep for more than two hours a day. So I just hold her and think.

It’s been a couple of hours, I feel Rayne move against me.

She turns and I see that she’s awake. She looks at me and I feel bolts through my body.

Her green eyes are cloudy from sleep and she looks dazed and adorable.

I want to kiss her, badly but I don’t.

I wait to see what she does.

She knows now.

We stare at each other for the longest time. Then finally, she lifts up her hand, places it on my chest, and spreads her fingers out. She moves her eyes off of my chest and

back to my eyes.

For a second were both frozen, both waiting. Then,

Well, she thinks.

Aren’t you going to kiss me?

I groan in relief and lower my lips onto hers.

I don’t hold my self back; I wrap my arms around her and pull her close to me as I mesh my lips against hers.

They’re almost unbelievably soft; I’m reminded of just how fragile she is. I force myself to stop, knowing if I keep going I’ll lose control and hurt her.

I still hold her close and I tell her to go back to sleep.

She runs her hand through my hair and down my back, and then I feel her fingers stop over it.

The scar. Her fingers run over the long jagged marking.

I feel her take in a long slow breath.

“Alek,” she whispers “I’m with you now. I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”

I smile, she thinks to protect me.

And I hope I can do the same.
