"It may seem a bit hard to believe but I myself didn't know-"

"That's impossible. You've been here for so many centuries how can you not know?"

"My father forbade the people who surrounded me to mention anything, our history books had been destroyed in a rebellion. The people around me were forbidden to mention the past. I always thought I was it. My family was it."

"I find it hard to believe that since you had the book in your library-" I said feeling angry, I couldn't believe he was lying to my face.

"Let me finish. I found this out around a year or two back. By then you and I were over, I started the restoration process of the books, gathered information and told the librarian to compile them along with putting the database online for easy access to anyone who would want to read it." I was too stunned to speak so he continued and reached for my hand. "I never meant to keep this from you. I promise if I knew I would've told you. Then there was also the matter of your birth parents. I spoke to your dad; George when I found out. He made me promise not to tell you as he wanted to do it himself when you turned 18 but by then you developed health issues that distracted them. Are you okay though? Knowing all this?" He gave my hands a comforting squeeze.

"I will be. It wasn't your place to tell me anyway." I smiled back.

He cleared his throat and said "Now that you do know everything I will support whatever decision you make."

"Decision?" I asked confused.

"The throne..."

"Oh David." I whispered tears coming to my eyes. I got up and hugged him on impulse. "It's yours. You've lived all your life preparing for it.."

"But it's rightfully yours."

"No. It's yours. There's no one better than you for it. I trust you. I didn't even know about it till a couple of hours ago."

Hugging him felt so right. It brought me back to love. Despite the aches and pains I felt so good.

Suddenly he pushed me back and I thought that he might have been revolted by my hug but in reality he started to violently cough.

Panicked I patted his back "are you okay?"

When he stopped and pulled his hand away from his mouth I was shocked to see blood on them.

"Why are you coughing out blood?! Are you okay?! Were you injured in the fight? Do you need a doctor?" I rushed to say all this.

He looked exhausted. "No that's okay. It's because of you."

"You're sick because of me?" I said my heart sinking.

"We're more connected than you think. Your health issues affect me as well."

The minute he said that more tears welled in my eyes.. He was sick because I was sick.. Could I make things any worse for him... Why did I have to be sick? I thought as I slide to the floor crying softly.

"Hey- no. It's not your fault." He rushed to my side and slide down next to me hugging me.

I put my head on his arms and cried. He continued softly "it's just like how you feel when I get injured. Like I did today, you must have felt stabbing pain in your body for no reason. That was because the werewolf bite into my side and took a chunk of my skin with him. I knew it would hurt you but I also knew it was out of my control. All I could try to do was be careful not to sustain anymore injuries."
