🐉Aquatic Lover🐉¹ ~ Rhaenyra Targaryen

Alexios of House Targaryen

Alexios Pov:

I woke up from my weird ass dream. I looked to see the kids and rhaenyra still asleep. I took a deep breath. It was just a dream. I'm not a targaryen. I got out of bed. I grab my black robe and put it on. I exited the bedroom. I walked through the hall. I went to one place where I could clear my head. I open the double doors and enter the library. "Hey, Alexios. Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Rhaenys said to me. "I was. Just woke up." I said to her. I started looking for a book I needed.

"I'll leave you be then." She said as she walked out of the library. "Night rhaenys." I called out to her. "Good night, Alexios." She said. I went back to looking for what I needed. I found what I was looking for. I sat at a table. I took a deep breath.

I opened to the targaryen family tree. I looked for something. I found what I was looking for. Shit. Everything is shit now. I buried my head into my hands. I sighed and leaned back in my chair. I quickly closed the family tree after looking. Fuck. I can't fucking believe this.

I sat for a while before getting up and leaving. I walked to the exit of the castle. I was outside. I looked at the beach. I saw Seawave sleeping. I made my way over to the beach. Once I got onto the beach. Seawave lifted her head. I sat down next to her. I sighed. I looked out at the water. I sat the book in my lap. We sat in silent. We sat for while in silent. SeaWave went back to sleep.

I brought my knees to my chest. I wrap my arms around me. I eventually heard footsteps behind me. I turned my head to see rhaenyra. I turn back to the water. She sat next to me. "I woke you weren't there." She said to me. "I couldn't sleep. Needed air." I said to her.
"You want to talk about it?" She asked me. I shook my head no. "I don't want to talk about it. Maybe what's bothering me will go away." I felt tears in my eyes. "It seems like it really bothers. Come on, talk to me. You know I always listen to you when you're upset or mad."

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. "Rhaenyra, I don't want to talk about it. Just don't want to. It's some I need to come to terms with myself." I said. I looked at rhaenyra and saw realization. I was shocked. "You knew. Who else knows?" I asked. I was upset.

"Everyone but you." Is this why I can't remember know of my childhood. "Everyone knew by me. So this whole time, I'm over here things I'm a stark and the reason my hair color was because our soulmate bond. Just to to be a lie. I don't even remember most of my childhood. The last thing I remember is when I got wave and the tournament. I am became king of the north. My father funeral. Turns out he's not my father. But before all that, i dont remember anything. "

"Alexios-" I cut her off. "I can't believe you. You knew I don't like being kept in the dark about things. My life is a lie." I said as I shook my head in shame and disappointed. "No one was supposed to tell you. I wanted to, but I promise that I wouldn't." Rhaenyra said.

"Alexios, I'm sorry, ok. I'm really am. The family promises not to tell because we know how you are." She right. they know how I work and how I feel. "Did laena know?" I needed to know. Rhaenyra nodded. For fuck sake. "My own ex-wife knew. That means my daughter knows." I said and sighed. We sat quietly for a while.

I watched the water. I didn't know what to say or how I felt. My whole childhood was a lie. There is much gap in my memory. "Where you guys ever going to tell me?" I asked her. She didn't say anything for a while. "No." I sighed. I hated myself for not knowing. "How did you find out?" She asked me. "It was from a dream." I said as I sighed.

"Who told you this in your dream?" She asked. She put her hand on my shoulder. "Alyssa Targaryen." I said. Rhaenyra pulled me into a hug. "I'm sorry you had to find out from a dream. But we shouldn't have kept it secret from you." I nodded.

"You have every right to be mad. I would too if I was in your place." She said to me. Rhaenyra played with my hair. We stayed silent for a while. I sighed in her arm. "I'm here for you." She said to me. "I also looked in the targaryen family tree. I don't know how I feel about this. I don't know what to do about this. I have never been more confused than now."

My life was a lie. We watched the water. "Now what? What happens now? What about us? She's asked. I sighed. She's right. What happens now? I opened my mouth just to close it. I didn't know what to say. All I even knew was being a stark. Now I don't know anymore. It like my life just took a sharp turn. Now I need to think about what I'm going to do with my life now.

"Are we okay?" She asked me. "I don't know." I said to her. I really don't know. "Why don't we go back to the room and sleep. We'll continue this talk in the morning." She suggested. Maybe sleep will help me. "But knows this. you are a targaryen legally, but you are also a stark. Dont let people take that from you." She said to me. I nodded. "I won't."

We started heading back to the castle. We eventually enter the castle. I was quiet the whole walk back to the room. We enter the room. Rhaenyra turned to me. "You don't have to sleep in the bed if you don't feel uncomfortable after finding out." She said to me. I took a deep breath. "It's fine. It just something I'll have to come to terms with eventually." I said to her. I took off my robe and laid it in a chair.

I carefully got back into bed without waking the kids and assan and Titan. Eventually, Rhaenyra got back into bed, too. "Can I touch you?" I looked at rhaenyra and smirked. She slap my arm. "Not like that, like you idiot." She whispered to me. I knew she didn't mean it like that. "I know. So come here." I said. She wrapped her arms around and put her head in my shoulder. I wrap my arms around her and sigh.

"Rhaenyra?" I asked in a whispered tone. Nothing. She must have fallen asleep. "Night, guys." I said in a whispered not wanting to wake anyone. I stayed awake for a while. She right, tho. I'm a targaryen legally, but I'm also a stark. That means I'm going to have to get used to it. I just wish they didn't keep me in the dark. That's what hurts the most. I closed my eyes and fall back to sleep. Now what? Now knowing we are family.

Do I stay with rhaenyra or call off betrothed?
