The Royal Secret

22

"Month seven." I whisper to myself tears falling down my face. "I hope you turn out just like your daddy. I miss him so much." I cry.

"Andre wants to see you." The guard says I push myself up and follow the guard down the halls.

"I'd like to make a deal with you Kyra." Andre says as I shut the door.

"What might that be?"

"You want your child to live?" I nod sitting down in a chair across from Andre. Andre smiles handing me a paper.

I read through it and look back at Andre "you want me to sigh my child away to you!?"

"There are other options, but trust me when I tell you this was the best one." I close my eyes tears running down my face. He's trapped me in a corner I can't get out of.

"Fine." I say sighing the paper before I leave I turn to Andre. "Can i please go outside today." He nods dismissing me.

I bury my head in my lap sobbing, when I was little I hated the thought of being alone I was constantly with someone.

Now there's no one I feel lonely, I sob in pain placing my hand on my stomach.

"I'm sorry, mama will turn this all around I promise."

————

I scream pain shooting through my body, god dammit this child is coming now.

The guards rush in and send for a nurse it takes awhile but she comes rushing in, oh god this is gonna be a long night.

Tears run down my face but I smile down at my son in my arms, the nurse is arguing with the guards about moving me to an actual room for mine and the baby's safety.

"You can't leave them in a damm cell!" She yells. "Kyra barley made it as is because of these damm living conditions your lucky their both alive!" I close my eyes leaning my head against the wall.

"My little Liam, I wish your daddy were here." I whisper to him.

"Oh my god where is the damm king! He has to understand their going to die!"

"I'm right here Lily stop yelling." Andre says appearing for around the corner.

He runs a hand through his thick black hair and looks at me and Liam.

"God just move them wherever you want Lily. There was that so hard?" Andre says Lily smiles grabbing a guards arm and dragging them over to me.

"Here give me Liam Kyra." She reaches out for the small child and I hand him over. "Now help her gently!" She says pointing at the guard.

He gently grabs my arm helping me up, he follows an angry Lily up to an empty room Lily goes off somewhere to help Liam and I sit down on the edge of the bed my head resting in my hands.

"The dragon will be pleased." The guard whispers. I look up at him and shake my head.

"The dragon will be furious."

"You'll both fix it." He says shutting the door behind him.

Lily comes back in with a sleeping Liam and hands him off to one of the other nurses she ushers me around to ensure I'm okay.

After awhile I collapse sobbing everything crushing down on me.

"I can't take it!" I sob. "I want to go home I want Liam to grow up with a father! I want Jax!" I scream Lily places a hand on my back soothing. "I messed up!" I groan "I thought I did the right thing I didn't want Liam to die but I just doomed us both."

"Shhhh it's okay Kyra."

"No its not okay! Everyone excepts me to be some strong women but I'm not! I can even protect a kid let alone myself!"

"Kyra, I will help you in anyway I can please know that you need to take care of yourself before your child right now okay?"

I nod collapsing onto the bed tears running down my face. I'm such an idiot I shouldn't have made any of these dumbass deals.

4 years later

"Tell me about daddy." Liam says sitting on my lap.

"You look just like him, you act like him too. He was strong and kind he would've loved you Liam." Liam smiles.

"I wish daddy was still here." I close my eyes and nod.

"Me too bud me too." I had to tell Liam Jax was dead it was the only way to protect him.

I learned awhile ago that Andre just needed me to make that damm deal so Jax couldn't save us if only I'd been smart. Apparently Evan is currently acting the part of king while Jax is 'm.I.a' Lily says Jax can't handle the stress of it anymore.

I see Andre stomping up to us he looks pissed Liam quickly climbs off my lap and I stand up to face him pushing Liam behind me.

"You took him out of lessons!?" Andre asks.

"Of course I did a three year old doesn't need to know any of that right now!" Liam grips the back of my shirt hiding from Andre.

"He will one day! I started this young so should he!"

"Your not his father! He is not yours to decide any of that!" Andre clenches his fists.

"Whether you like it or not, Liam is mine now I am in charge here and I will not be tested Kyra."

"Liam never was nor never will be yours Andre."

Andre strikes some across the face I gasp looking at him tears building up in my eyes.

"You will not speak to me like that ever again do you understand!?" I don't say anything and he slaps me again. "ANWSER ME! Do you understand!?"

"Yes, Andre."

"Good, now come with me right now Liam and do not test me right now or else." I turn around and face Liam who's shaking.

"It's okay baby, you'll be okay I promise just be a good boy like I taught you." Liam nods and I crouch down to hug him he sniffles in my ear before following Andre away.

"I'm going to kill him." I say turning to my guard he smiles gently.

"The dragon arrives at dawn." Is all he says to me.

My eyes snap to his. "Dawn!?" I ask he nods before walking off.

Dawn, Jax will be here at dawn and I'm not going to miss it.

Jax has came here many times through the years but Andre always keeps it a secret and he always turns him away.

Dawn, soon my love soon.
