Chapter Fourteen: Amelia

Hello beautiful people and a Happy Thanksgiving break! I hope everyone has a relaxing week! Well now on to the story, I'm also thinking about having maybe a little thanksgiving special with our characters and maybe a little Q and A in the future. Tell me your thoughts at the end of the chapter. For now back to the story! ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The past couple of days have been most stressful for those in kingdom and it got no better when each search we conducted left us with more questions than answers. Over the past few days the library has become like my second sleeping space since I've rarely left it in the name of research, trying to see there if there is anything in the old texts that might have recorded these creatures before.

A book slams closed next to me, and a frustrated sigh comes from Ara as she slumps forward onto the table. "Why is it so difficult to find one beast?"

I close my book as well. "Remember we're not just dealing with a regular beast, this seems to be something else entirely."

She groans running a hand through her hair.

The shuffling of feet reaches my ears. "Winston, What's going on?" I ask returning to my book.

I hear a soft sigh. "Will there be a day when I can sneak up on you people?"

"Yeah," says Ara lifting her head, "when we're dead."

"Come on now Bella, don't be such a downer." he says placing a arm around her shoulders. "You should smile more, you're b-e-a-utiful when you do!" his dark blue eyes glimmer mischievously.

She gives him a dead stare and rolls her eyes as she scoffs pushing his arm off of her. "What is it you want, Winston?"   

He pouts. "You're no fun," he mutters, "I'll get you to smile one day yet."

She snorts.

"Alright love birds, break it up. You sound like an old married couple." I say closing my book.

I can practically hear Ara's fur bristling at my statement.

Winston, however, was grinning ear to ear. "I'm not here for anything particular, I was just ordered to come and help you with anything you need."

I raise an eyebrow. "By whom?"

"Our ever so kind future king." he answers pulling out a chair and taking a seat across from us.

Ara leans back in her chair balancing it on the two back legs as she adjusts her eye patch and then crosses her arms. "I'm surprised you actually followed the order and didn't go to the Alpha and try to find something else to do, I know how much you detest this type of work."

He sighs drumming his hands on the wooden table. "My lady, I may be a risk taker but I am not suicidal. Today is not the day to mess with the Alpha or our dear prince, their moods today are absolutely dark. It was like being in front of the oncoming storm." He rummages with something beside him. "Besides, I come baring gifts." he tosses two items at us.

I look at the Apple that I caught, my favorite snack, it smelled perfect.

"You can't send me away now, I've brought your favorite snacks." He points at Ara winking. "And don't say you don't need it because that would be a lie."

She opens her mouth to refute the statement, but her stomach grumbling stops her, and she quickly closes her mouth.

He smirks.

She blushes and aggressively takes a bite of the pastry covered in chocolate.

Those two... like the Moon and the Sun. If I didn't know any better I'd think that they were mates.
