Reign

Chapter 54

I wake up on Theo's bare chest, I feel him playing with my hair. So I concluded that he was awake

I stir ans it up, rubbing my eyes

Theo looks up at me and smiles "Come back to bed darling."

"What time is it?"

"Too early to be awake." He pulls me back on top of him

I giggle as he kisses my neck, then my lips

"I love you more than anything." He speaks against my skin

I run my hands through his hair 

"And I love you Theo."

"Can we just lay here for sometime, please I just want to be with you." Theo kisses my stomach

"Theo, I'm always with you."

"Not like this, I want to be this close, so close that I can hear you breathing."

I nod "Of course Theo, of course we can." 

"You're existence is a such a blessing, I'm so lucky to be alive when you are." Theo's raspy voice says as he kisses my cheek

My heart shatters, he was so kind to me. I loved him so much.

I grab his large hand and kiss each of his finger so delicately 

"I'd be nothing without you." I whisper 

"And I'd be nothing without you." 

Three servants come into our room with two large silver trays and leave them on Theo's desk, they then leave quickly

"I had breakfast ordered to come up here." Theo tells me

I nod as he gets up and brings me my breakfast

I smile at him and start eating my strawberries

He then gets his breakfast and sits next to me again

"How're the children?" I sip my tea

"They're fine Yasmine, don't worry. Your ladies in waiting are watching over them and I've had Jack just check in on them from time to time." 

"So you've had this whole thing planned?" I ask him

He looks at me and kisses my lips "Yes, I did."

I chuckle "You can be so adorable sometimes."

"Sometimes?" He acts shocked as he eats his breakfast

I laugh and move my hair away from my face

"Why are you so beautiful?" He asks

I look at him

"Pardon?"

He wastes no time in throwing our breakfast to the floor and crawling on top of me

He kisses me several times, then takes my night gown off my body by tearing it to shreds

He kisses my stomach and repeatedly saying "I love you so much." 

He then takes his pants off

**********************

I'm walking down the right wing hallway when I spot a small figure walking outside

I walk back to the window and peer out

I gasp when I see Grayson, and he was on his way to the woods

The woods

I lowly scream and kick my heels off and run to the entrance of the castle

"Grayson!" I scream, running towards him

He turns, looking confused that I was running towards him in such a chaotic way

"Mother?" His eyebrows furrow

I drop to my knees infront of him and bury my face in his chest

"Grasyon." I breathe

I haven't been this scared in so long, when I saw him trying to go into the woods all the memories came rushing back to me. Matt and Henry. It was so dangerous.

"Why were you going into the woods?" I wipe the tears from my face

"My friend told me to."

"W-what?"

Grayson and Gia were the only children in the castle, who was his friend?

"She's a girl, her name is Alice."

"How old is Alice?" My voice is urgent

He shrugs "Maybe about thirteen." 

"She's in the castle? What does she look like Grayson?" 

He nods "She has no face, she's hidden under a black coat. She has black hair and burned hands." 

"Burned hands? H-how? How did you two meet?" 

"I was exploring the castle when I saw her shadow, I followed it. We talked for awhile, she likes boats just like me." He smiles

I'm completely disturbed at this point, what the hell was he talking about?

But, I was going to find out who this "Alice" was and what she was doing in the palace.
