On a Journey To Find Love. [Zarry]

Chapter 66

Harry felt cold. He wrapped his arms around himself and bent his knees so he lay curled on the ground, but still, he kept shaking until he woke up. When he opened his eyes, he became shocked. How could he have fallen asleep while on a mission? 

All of them were still in the throne hall. Some of his soldiers were still eating and resting, so he had only slept for a short amount of time. His eyelids felt heavy, his head throbbed in pain, and his body felt sore. He was exhausted after not having slept much for almost three nights. 

Sitting up, he looked around. Ilyas sat relaxed on the steps that led to the throne, and Zarin sat alone in a corner. When he saw that he was awake, he came and sat next to him. 

"You look tired." He said. "Why don't you sleep some more?" 

Harry shook his head. "I am alright." 

He couldn't sleep while his men were awake, even if they had already taken care of everything, and we're now waiting for his father and the royal army to arrive. 

"Do you still want to be a ruler after this?" He asked. 

"Yes," Harry replie but didn't care to explain. He didn't want to argue. 

Standing up, Harry decided to get some fresh air so he could feel more awake, but as soon as he got up on his feet the world around him began to spin. Losing his balance, he felt like he was falling before, but Zarin caught him before he could hit the ground. 

"Harry." 

He hurried and put his other arm under his knees and carried him up. 

"I am fine. Put me down." He said, even though he was feeling weak and dizzy. 

What was wrong with him? 

Callum, Oliver, and Ilyas hurried to him to make sure he is alright. "He needs to rest," Zarin said. "I'll take him back to the guest room." 

Harry wanted to protest, but his body refused to listen. Before he could force himself, Zarin was carrying him out of the hall. As soon as they were out of sight, he teleported them to the guest room and lay down on the bed carefully. He then covered Harry with a warm blanket and Harry sighed as the warmth of the sheets took the cold away. 

Harry felt embarrassed for looking weak in front of his soldiers. They would think he was not fit to lead. Maybe he wasn't. If he was going to be like this, then they would never respect him. 

Not able to hold his eyes open anymore, he closed them. Sleep pulled him in a way that he couldn't resist, and soon he was surrounded by darkness. 

Harry shot his eyes open and sat up. His pounding heart felt like it would rip its way out of his ribs. He had a nightmare, maybe cause he was tired and everything around him was too violent for him.

"Harry!" Zarin hurried to his side and put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright?"

Zarin grabbed his shoulders and shook him slightly. "Harry. What happened?" 

Harry was still dazed. Tears filled his eyes. He was exhausted after everything happening around him. He just went to get it over with and these nightmares were not helping either.

Harry touched his face, feeling wetness on his fingers. But it wasn't blood this time, only his sweat and tears. 

"Harry!" 

Through the terrifying images, he saw Zarin's concerned eyes. He grabbed his face. "Are you there?" He asked. 

Harry tried to speak but his lips refused to move, so he nodded. 

Zarin looked at him carefully. "It was only a nightmare. You are alright." He told him. 

Was he alright? He doesn't know!

More tears fell down his cheek, and Zarin wiped them away with his thumb. "It's alright. I am here for you." He said. 

Harry recoiled inside. It felt strange to hear those words coming from him, now. Suddenly, he came back to reality and looked him in the eyes. He saw something in his gaze, but before he could understand what it was, Zarin leaned in and pressed his lips against his. 

Harry stiffened. His mind froze. It took him a moment to realize what was happening, and his hands flew to Zarin's chest to push him, but he pulled away and turned to the left before Harry could. 

Harry followed his gaze just to find Zayn standing in the middle of the room. His heart dropped as he looked into his golden fury eyes. They flashed flames as if he could cause a blaze of fires.
