I looked at the pocket watch as it sat open on the desk.
This was completely waterlogged.... Frozen in time and left to rust on a shoreline for many years.... Up until I took it off the shipwreck and bought it here....
How is that possible....?
I looked over to see Remington was asleep in bed, since it was daylight...
I smiled softly at how peaceful he looked, softly touching the mark on my cheek, showing everyone I'm his, and he's mine......
The past week, Remington and I have had to regain our energy after mating, which apparently had us both feeling a bit lethargic and drowsy for a while.
It was supposed to be like about 3 days, but Sebastian practically grounded us for a week and kept us in our room, along with a lot of chores and extra training.....
Apparently, someone doesn't exactly like it when his subjects play hooky.....
I took a deep breath as I then looked up at the ceiling in boredom, playing with the skirt of my dress.

I listened to the steady ticking of the watch as it counted the seconds.
As I listened, all I could hear in my head is Alexander's words from the beach.
"Your whole life you are left with answers on why you were left to such a miserable life....."
".... Thinking why any of that ever happened to you..."
"Hell, you even look just like her, her damned twin..... Only difference is you got stuck with your bastard father's eyes!!!"
I sighed, closing my eyes and rubbing my temples as I continued to try and think, the tick-tock of the watch still going.
It makes no sense.... How could my parents have any connection to this place??
They were most likely drug addicts, runaways, or kidnappers.... Who left a newborn baby in a dumpster for dead.....
The chances of them being from Obsidian or any other realm aside from Earth is impossible...
Could Alexander really know something about my biological parents that no one else knows??
"Think like your damn father did!!"
"Come on, Lynette! You're a smart little princess!! Think!!"
Princess... God, what a lunatic.... How the hell could I ever be a princess!? Especially in a place like this!?
