The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 119

SASA'S POV_

Amahle came back out to the backyard as I put my shoes on.

Me: "Ladies, I have to dash out for a bit. Amahle, let's go-"

Ama: "You don't need me. I'll hold the fort here." Yep, Amahle was drinking. She's such a happy person when she's indulging alcohol.

Siza: "Is everything okay Sasa?"

Me: "Yes. Everything is fine. I just need to do something quickly. Zimmy?" She looked up.

Zimmy: "Yes baby?"

Me: "Are you okay? You look concerned." She giggled.

Zimmy: "I'm fine."

Me: "Okay." A car arrived, with three guards. I called Mthunzi again. "Mthunzi, a car has come for me. What are the guards names?

Mthunzi: "Tell them to show ID. It's Mongezi, Ganda and Dave. They're pinging next to you on my side." I checked the ID's before getting in. One of them drove, the other two in the second car following. I was nervous, not sure how Nkosi just disappeared and why. What if he goes to the city? He can't do that. We drove into the woods, I got out the car walking to Mthunzi and Zwe.

Me: "Hello Zwe."

Zwe: "Hi Sasa."

Me: "I take it he's still not back?"

Zwe: "No. We've searched the area twice. There's no sign of him."

Me: "Do you have a knife?" Mthunzi gave me his pocket knife.

Mthunzi: "He won't hurt you."

Me: "I know." I opened the knife cutting my hand. The blood oozed out of the slash in my hand. "Please get in the car-"

Mthunzi: "No."

Me: "He's going to freak out when smelling this blood. We don't know what state he's in-"

Mthunzi: "I'm not leaving you by yourself Thembisa. If we have to fight him, then we'll do that. Right Zwe?"

Zwe: "Heeee, Mthunzi what about my pretty face?" I chuckled. The ground shivered for a second.

Me: "He's coming." Right then, the tiger appeared jumping out of nowhere. My heart stopped with a cold fear. He roared, huffing in front of me. "Baby." More movement.

Zwe: "Oh no." A streak of tigers crawled out of the woods. I was trembling out of my soul.

Me: "Sthandwa sam." I moved closer to the first that appeared. This was him. He licked my hand, roaring loudly. I held his ear, brushing his fur. "Nkosinhle..." He growled, rubbing his head on my belly. I brushed my fingers behind his ears. Slowly his body morphed back to his human form. He was kneeling in front of me, kissing my stomach.

Me: "Hi sweetheart." He looked up.

Nkosi: "Who hurt you." The danger in his eyes.

Me: "No one. I cut my hand to call you. Do you want to introduce me to your friends?" He stood up, looking behind him. A chuff emanating out of his throat. The other tigers backed away, crawling back to their secrets woods.

Nkosi: "Why did you come? Are you hurt?" Why was he so ready to fight?

Me: "Baby, I'm not hurt. Your friends are worried about you." He looked up, Mthunzi and Zwe looked at him.

Zwe: "Hi."

Nkosi: "You called my wife?"

Mthunzi: "You disappeared. What did you expect?"
