Alexander's Pov

The next day

Releasing a pained groan I slowly open my eyes and look at the metal ceiling.  Noticing Lexa isn't it the bed I slowly get up as I bite back the pained yells that try to leave my lungs . My body hurts so much that stupid cougar , it's a  good thing Bellamy showed up when he did otherwise I probably would have been a goner .

Blinking my eyes the flashes replay in my head I only saw bits and pieces from what happend to mom , what that man did to her was just inhumane its a good thing 97 years have past because if I would ever come face to face with him ill rip him apart . He just burned her alive because she didn't give him what he wanted.  Opening my eyes again I wipe away the tears that left my eyes .  Grinding my teeth together I bite trough the pain and slowly get out of the bed .

Standing up I stumble trough the room and rest my body against the wall,  after a minute of two I slowly open the door and walk out of the room . Stumbling trough the halls of the Ark I finally reach the exit and stumble out .

"Alex "I hear someone yell and soon Octavia is standing infront of me with worry in her eyes . "You need to rest " she says as she places my arm around her shoulders. 

"I'm sick of being in a bed Octavia " I mumble as well even tho I've been out for the last days I just don't wanna lay in a bed all day .

"Alex you need rest " she states and I just lean more of my wait onto her since I'm having trouble standing up .

"Just let me sit outside for some time please "I whisper and she gives me a small nod before slowly walking us over to some wooden blocks . Reaching the spot Octavia helps me sit down and she takes a seat next to me .

"So how have you been ?" I ask the girl and she releases a small chuckle at me . 
"You got attacked by a cougar and your asking me how I am " She says and I just shrug at her .

"Well , how have you been ?" I ask again with a small groan.  "I'm fine " she states and I see Monty walk over to us .

"Alex why are you out here "he frantically says as he looks between me and Octavia.  "Monty sit and join our conversation our leave " I say with a small chuckle and the boy sits down infront of us .

"Still thing you should be resting " Monty states and I see Octavia nod her head in agreement. 

"Yeah yeah yeah I know "I say with a roll of my eyes . And with that the 3 of us just start engaging into small talk .

Lexa's Pov

The last days where a mess I know I should have told Alex about what happend with his mom , but I just couldn't I didn't wanna hurt him like that by what happend to her.  When he stormed out of the Ark I had to try my hardest to not back away from him he just looked so animalistic mad and to be honest it scared me  .  I kept to myself after what happend and just talked with Anya and Nyko if anything changed with Alex . Clarke has been avoiding me and to be honest I don't blame her , she cares for him and I forced his hand into marrying me . But down the road I fell for him and it still scares me how much I care about Alex he bring out a side of me that I thought I lost when I was taken to Polis to start my training and I lost it completely when I won the conclave and became Heda . But when I'm around him he reminds me that there is a time for duty and a time for fun . I never felt as carefree as when we where at the beach . And then last night when Bellamy showed up with Alex I was surprised he even wanted to see me his anger was replace by hurt that I kept his mother's fate for him . I really want this to work , I just want to be with .

When I woke up this morning I carefully got out of the bed and tried my best to not wake Alex up , his body needs to rest . So after i walked out of the room I made my way over to Anya to talk about if there was any news out of Polis but there wasn't any , so it seems like people have listened to Alex's words about peace and a world without wars between the clans .
