ZANDER

I was all ready to talk to her and expose the information I gathered from Kai and Seon. We agreed to meet in my study. The top portion of my home. My home was not a palace, but definitely bigger than any house in dark valley. It was three storied, lower portion in which my sister and mother lived. Second floor where me and della lived seperately and the top portion, it contains so many books and completely made of glass. It was basically a sunroom. Kai uses this room as he's my shadow, and it gives a good view of dark valley's all four directions. My sword was with me, reminding me of last night. Last night I almost lost my control entirely. It never happened to me. I've seen women throwing themselves to me, and exposing their body to seduce me. But Della, if it wasn't for this damn suspicion of hers, I would have already fucked her so hard that she wouldn't be able to walk properly for atleast a couple of days.
                         My attention was caught by Della as she entered the room. She was wearing a purple gown, with the same coloured ribbon on her hair. The same ribbon that I used to tie her hands. Her left hand was bruised a little but more than enough to recognise that someone tied her hands together. Right hand didn't have any bruises, I guess I was little too excited. I pulled out a chair for her. Even though a thousand thoughts are surrounding her mind, she was still admiring the beauty of the room. You could see birds and big trees and insects up close, without disturbing them. She drew her eyes back to me. I can't believe myself, but I admit it, I fell for her first.
" Little bunny I need you to hear me out first. Then you can take a decision as you wish". She nodded and I continued. " Selene and Adonis Fairley were some of the few people who helped dark valley. We never betray someone who gave us a hand. They were killed and dark valley was framed as the culprits ". I could see a relief in her eyes and curiosity to know the killer. But it's not time yet. " At that time I was the one in control of dark valley, yet I was not here because you must know that there is a river that separates dark valley from the neighbouring  country. That day dark valley was attacked by them for the first time. They chose to attack us at night so that we will be defenceless. Little did they know, we're valley people, we are more efficient at night. We killed all of them at that day. So Selene and Adonis Fairley's death was also framed on our name. They were killed at the entrance of the dark valley. We were fighting at the other end of dark valley. It is impossible for me to come and kill them. Also I don't have any kind of grudge against them. I wanted to find the real culprit, but the queen herself came to me & forbid me from further investigation. If I found out about the culprits at that time, I wouldn't be here explaining things to you".
                          She sat there like she felt no emotions. I was about to say much more interesting things, but not today. She's more depressed than I imagined. " We will talk about rest of the story later". She stood up and walked towards the door step by step, very slow like she was sleep walking. I pulled her right hand towards me. She fall upon to my chest. Just like the day in the royal garden. I hugged her tight. She didn't refuse me, but lightly hugged me back. It was exact moment I know, I would kill for her. I untied the ribbon from her hair, and wrapped it on her left wrist and tied a bow. Everything looks pretty on her. Now no one will question her about the bruises. There was a big drop of tear forming in her eyes. Even without saying I know that she trusted me ever since we met. She wanted to hear everything from me, she was dying for it. "Sorry" she said it in a low voice, which was sharp enough to pierce through my heart. I hugged her and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. She was already mine. Even though she did whatever it takes to please her parents and Lucian, I know that her heart is with me. Her mind is filled with my thoughts. Afterall she's my little bunny.
