Lucius

Chapter 25

-Lucius-
Rubbing the sleep from my eyes I enter my bedroom.

"You look exhausted."

"Hey. Didn't know you were still up."

"Well I couldn't sleep."

"Everything ok?"

I walk to the bed and sit. I feel around for her until my hand touch her thigh.

"You having nightmare or something?"

"I would say visions. I saw people I care about dying. I saw you die."

"Hey its OK. I'm not going to die just yet."

"I saw a baby die Lucius."

I tense. I pull her into my arms.

"Good thing you're not pregnant. I don't want to think about what would happen to our baby if you were pregnant. Don't think about it OK?"

"OK."

This is unsettling.

"I'm going to take a shower. Will you be ok?"

"Yeah. Hurry I want to cuddle."

"I'll make it quick them. Don't miss me too much."

"Hurry."

I chuckle and get up.

'Something is going to happen. I can feel it.'

"What do you mean?"

'We have a dark side Lucius. Something dark is brewing. Our mate is in danger.'

"Keep those senses sharp."

I strip and get into the shower.

'Get out of the bathroom! Del is in danger.'

Damnit!

I grab a towel and hurry out of the bathroom.

I growl when I saw the shadow over her.

"Get away from her!"

I ran to the bed and pull her to me.

"You can't hide from us Crown Prince. It's time for you to come home or blood will he spilt. Daddy is waiting."

The shadow went out the window and Del gasp.

"You're OK."

"What happened?"

"Something is coming after you because of me."

"What?"

"My parents have some explaining to do. You're safe and that's all that mattered."

I went to the closet and get sweat pants then join her in bed.

The next morning I was tired. Two hours of sleep is not good for anyone. I was physically drained.

"Is this going to be a reoccurrence?"

"Yes. That thing isn't going to stop until it get what it wants."

"You're just the Crown Prince."

"The King and Queen aren't my real parents but they refused to tell me who. For years I asked and I get the same answer everytime."

"Could your parents be that powerful that your adoptive parents refused to say anything?"

"They are going to tell me this morning even if I have to shake it out of them."
