Tears.

The tears were uncontrollable. It has been raining continuously from the passed week and my eyes didn't run out of tears either. The King, Ethan, Asher and the other warriors of the kingdom had left about a week ago and since then, there was no word from them.

I never heard Elliot after that day in the room. It must be the mate bond but I'm not so sure anymore. I feel like I've lost him. An irreplaceable part of me that I valued the most. Only after he left did I realise how much I missed him.

He protected me from the glass pieces that day and I know that he'll always put my happiness before his. After he went missing, I lost my appetite and at times I would just sit and cry. The nights were the worst. I'd put his shirt on a stuffed pillow and pretend it was him whom I was resting on while sitting near the window. As if I'd see him returning. He's the memory that I can't forget. The kiss that I don't regret. He's gone.

Just like every other morning since the Royals left for war, I was sitting on the balcony and looking out. Eleanor had dropped by our room a few minutes ago, leaving some french toast for me along with a glass of milk. God only knows how much I detest that.

The sun was out and the birds chirped happily while flying around in the sky. The sky was clear- light blue painted through the horizon and not a single puffy white cloud in sight. The day just seemed so beautiful; the world, a Vincent Van Gogh painting. Elliot's beige shirt was loose around my figure but I still managed to pull it off with the black leggings.

Just like everyday of this week, at sharp 9 am Nicholas would knock on my door asking if I wanted to go and have breakfast in the dining room. I'd always decline but not today. "I have good news, Your Highness" he panted while bending down and catching his knees.

I smiled slightly. "What would that be?" I asked with hope. He knew what I wanted to hear and by the glint of happiness in his eyes, I knew that for once I was right. "King Elliot will be here in exactly four hours" he grinned. My heart beat picked up as a huge smile made a way to my face.

I threw my arms around him and screamed. "Oh My God! Oh My God! Oh My God! He's coming! Elliot is coming! Oh My God! I need to get everything ready for him!" I yelled. He flinched slightly but then nodded and left after promising to do what I asked him to.

Imani came in a minute later and bowed. "Your Highness I suggest that you wear casual clothes" she smiled. I shrugged. She guided me to the room and left after arranging everything for me. I slipped out of my clothes and immersed myself into the tub filled with rose water with petals.

I miss him so much. I don't know him for a long time but this distance has made me face my true feelings for him. I'm falling for him. Hard. And I don't regret a single thing that I feel for him. Yes, he may not be the most perfect person with a forgiving nature and he's most definitely no saint but that's what makes him special to me.

He's made just for me.

After about one hour, I got out and slipped on the silk coat. This was just like all the other rooms but better. This was where I would dress up everyday when I was supposed to be with Elliot. I got out a maroon t-shirt and a pair of denim shorts and put it over my undergarments. The nude flats were good enough for me to run around the castle with.

"No not there! That's like 1cm apart! More to the left! No less! Half a centimetre more! Yeah that's it" I yelled from down. One of the maids were on top of the ladder, trying to put up some flowers. While I was sitting and yelling, Imani was combing my hair while Nicholas was with the Head Cook, Dahlia.
