King Silas and Queen Thea had wed for 5 years with no children. Rumors spread throughout the kingdom that Queen Thea was to blame but was that the truth? Betrayal, lust and sin fill the castle walls at every turn. Will a child be produce or will the...
I ran as fast as my feet would carry me to the chamber my siblings were put in. I was angry I hadn't been informed of their arrival the minute they go here. Just one more reason to continue to ignore Silas.
Bursting through their door I watched as my sisters jumped startled. "Oh what a blessing ! Talitha, Tara and Titus. The heavens must be shining upon me today. I did not believe I would ever see you again."I embraced each one of them. "Titus I can not believe you how much you have grown."
"Me?!" My little brother exclaimed. "Look at your stomach !"
"Praises to our father." Talitha said grabbing my belly. "We were all so scared for you...there were so many rumors you were barren."

"Believe me I wasn't the problem..." I mumbled.
"We couldn't believe father sent you here..." Tara sighed.
"Why are you all here?" I asked concerned.
They all exchanged glances. Talitha cleared her throat. "Father is dead....you are the next in line since you are wed."
I sat down immediately filled with sorrow and confusion. "When?"
"Last moon. We came as soon as we could...things are not good in our kingdom. We feared the people might take advantage of our age...overtake the castle." Talitha explained.
I glanced up and for the first time noticed how frightened they all looked. "You are safe I promise. Silas is nothing like his father. I will immediately send troops to handle the kingdom until we can get a plan in place. Do not fear." Relief ran over Talitha's face. She still had 2 years before she was of age and Tara had 4. They all were very much children. A wave of realization hit me that they were now my responsibility. "Have you eaten ?"
"Yes we've been attended too since our arrival a few hours ago." Tara spoke up.
"Good." I sighed. "It is getting late. You all have had a long journey. We have alot to discuss but you must get sleep first. I'll inform your maids to direct you to breakfast tomorrow where I'll be waiting for you. Okay? Do not fear. You are all safe here."
"And what of our kingdom?" Titus asked.
"We shall discuss it tomorrow. I promise I will send troops to protect our people immediately. Now stand down young Prince and get some sleep." I scolded. My words seemed to satisfy them and they all retreated to their rooms.
I still was in shock. My father by far wasn't a perfect king. He had a lot of debts. That's why he was willing to send me here. But having my siblings here made me feel peaceful. For once I felt as if I wasn't alone in these four walls.
"Queen Thea?" A maid interrupted my thoughts.
"Oh you scared me." I said grabbing my chest. "Yes ?"
"Princess Rosemary asked me to give you this note." She said handing me a piece of paper.
"Thank you." I smiled. Unfolding it I glanced down at her words:
"Last chance to say bye. Don't miss it."
The message was few words but it was loud and clear. Fiona was leaving tomorrow and she was taking Felix with her.
Kissing him was so very out of character for me. I wasn't even sure why I felt the need to do it...but given the chance I didn't know how he felt about me doing it, I'd been avoiding visiting him. What if he ever thought of me? Of our engagement ? What if I was just another thing his father was forcing on him...regardless Rose was right..I needed to say goodbye.
Making my way to his hiding place I found him sitting on the small dusty couch reading. His Bluey eyes snapped up to me as entered.
"You got my message." He stated.
"Well...Rosemary just made it seem like I should say goodbye she didn't say you asked to see me." I stated.
"You left so suddenly." He replied.
"I was embarrassed." I admitted.
He closed the distance between us embracing me in a long kiss. "You have nothing to be embarrassed of....in a different life love we would have been unstoppable."
"Is there anyone cursed with the power to turn back time ?" I breathed out letting his forehead rest on mine.
"If I shall ever come across someone with that power...I promise to bring them straight to you." He sighed. "So you can convince your father never to accept my marriage proposal."
"You don't seem so bad." I laughed. "Will you be okay with Fiona ?"
"If your asking if I'll fuck her the answer is no." He chuckled pulling away slighting from me so he could look in my eyes. "I truly am sorry for the life that was given to you...but in the short time I've known you..I can tell you are strong enough to live it."
We both let his words settle in the air. Standing for a long time we just embraced each other. The hope of a happy life together, the imagination of our wedding day, our children, our kingdom seemed to swirl around us like static electricity. The knowledge that it all was coming to end once more...this time for good was hanging over our heads. The tension in the air created a desperate longing for a life...a love that we both hadn't even known.
Felix leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. A slow kiss at first began to build into a passionate frenzy of intensity. His tongue entered my mouth. A sensation I wasn't sure of at first but after a few minutes of it dancing with mine I only wanted more. I could feel my innocence of the bed chamber fading with every second I kissed him back.
Reaching up I ran my fingers through his bright red hair. He gently pinned me to the wall behind us. Kissing down my neck I couldn't help but have heavy breaths escape me. "We should stop." He painted.
I forcefully kissed him. "Don't stop." I whispered in his ear.
"Your sure?" He said pulling away from me. His eyes searched mine. It was clear all the longing I had felt for him. All the waiting and wondering he too had felt.
"I am already knocked up. No harm can be done." I smirked.
"You have to tell me. If it's too much. If you think the baby is okay." He replied. I nodded as he once again engulfed my lips with his.
Spinning me around he began to untie my many layers and let each one drop to the floor. Time seemed to slow down. It was as if the parrellel life that was supposed to be finally caught up to us both. As if destiny had raced through the halls of the home we were to share and connected us in this questionable moment.
He carefully took off my last layer. I awkwardly tried to hide my belly. "I am huge." I sighed.
"Shhh." He kiss my shoulder. "You are beautiful my queen." Lifting me he laid me down on the couch and kissed me again. "Are you sure ?"
"I don't want to wonder what could have been anymore." I said my breasts purking up as the cold draft air hit my body. He nodded and careful inserted himself inside of me.
