Keal's pov
When i got out of the bathroom, seraphine immediately sat upright on the bed. Obviously she's scared of me,i admit it made me a little sad i mean i did turn that way in order to save her at least she should be grateful i sighed and went into the dressing room to get changed when i got out she was still sitting in that position "You can rest peacefully i won't be coming home tonight so no one will eat you in your sleep" i said suddenly feeling irritated by her behaviour and i left the door without looking back.
"Fredrick, its you, you can stop hiding in the shadows" i said when i felt someone's presence hovering around me as i made my way to the stable to feed phily, My horse "Hello son" i heard the voice of the beast i had been seeing in my dreams but this time it wasn't as loud as in my dreams "Show yourself, who are you" i demanded
"You know who we are, you have always known" this time i heard the woman who claimed to be my mother say.
"You are not my mother. My mother died the very day she bore me and that is why my father hates me" i said challengingly deep down i wanted to believe the woman but i just can't.
"with time you will come to believe me". She said.
"if you are really my mother then why didn't you ever come to me all those years ago when i was suffering in the hands of that man that calls himself my father.. WHY!."
"And why are you lurking in the shadows like some pesky little demon. Show yourself" i said this time my voice rising but i got no response. They had left.
"My prince, is everything alright? I heard someone ask.
"Everything is fine,Fredric. Go back to your room. I want to be left alone." I said calmly
"No, i can't leave you alone. You always ask to be left alone when you are struggling with something. You should learn to open up to some people sometime." Fredric said.
"And who am i supposed to open up to when everyone and everything is afraid of me. Even my own wife fears and despises me, My father? He has hated me since the day i was born. My brothers ? They all loathe the very ground i step on." I raised my voice at him for the first time and he lowered his head.
Seraphine's pov
"You can rest peacefully, i wont be coming back here tonight. No one will eat you in your sleep" he said and went out of the door.
What is wrong with me it's not like i am afraid of him i'm just being cautious, right? I thought to myself. But he did all that to save me i shouldn't have treated him like that. After a lot if thinking, i left my room to find him, it was already night but i didn't care, i have to find him and apologise to him.
When i got outside, i heard voices coming from the stable "could that be kael" i said to myself as i walked to the stable as i got closer, the voices became clearer it was indeed kael and….. Fredric. I was about to open the door when i heard kael's voice rise
"And who am i supposed to open up to when everyone and everything is afraid of me. Even my own wife fears and despises me, My father? He has hated me since the day i was born. My brothers ? They all loathe the very ground i step on."
My heart instantly shattered into pieces i was no different fron his father and brothers. What have i done? The marriage i intended to make work, i have destroyed with my own hands shortly before it even started to work. I walked away from the stable and went back to my room. I have to fix this… but how. Each time i remember his words, my heart aches.
