Jace P.O.V

1 Year later

I looked in the mirror, and what stared back at me was a cruel king who, had experience death more than he would care to, but would have to be strong for the kingdom could never see me weak or I would lose their trust and faith. Father told me to be strong for this kingdom until Andrew comes of age, He's turning 1 years old today, I would not celebrate with him for I am king.

I would be to busy the maids would have a little celebrate for the young prince, Father would have never approved of it he would always say a strong king would never celebrate a birthday.  

Tighten my tie, I looked on the mirror, tracing the scar on my cheek. Remembering the morning I had gotten it.
---------
Flashback
I watched in the mirror as my father, tighten his tie to his liking as I started to fix my tie like he did. It was crooked and looked nothing like my fathers.

"Daddy Is this how you do it" I had asked

He turned around looking at me, and slapped me hard on the cheek, Falling back and Grabbing my cheek in my pain I looked at my father his eyes were flashing from back to red, As he grabbed my shirt he said.

"A prince never calls his father that you shall call
me father, you understand son" He spit out

"Yes father I understand" I had said, as blood tears started to fall from my eyes. He looked away in disgust

"Good" He said turning away from me "A future king should never cry, makes him look weak" He said not looking at me.

Wiping the blood tears, from my eyes. Grabbing my tie and climbing from the floor, I looked into the mirror.

"Yes, Sorry father" I said

I watched into the mirror as we both fixed ourselves for the party.

In silence

End of flashback.

My father had made me a strong king to rule and to never show weakness or any emotions, turning around I watched as the human Isabella slept on my bed her brown hair was sprawled around the pillow, her green eyes were closed but I remember them so closely when I made love to her as she moaned my name, I love the sound of her voice . She was as gorgeous as the day I had met her a year ago she had made me feel alive again. I smiled at the memory of the day I met her.

Flashback

I watched as the human danced in the most seductive way a women    can, I watched and watched, as something twitched in my dress slacks  she smiled at me when she saw me looking, She was indeed the most beautiful person here. Her chestnut hair swaying with her body her green eyes were captivating as she looked at me. Her skin was a tan color that made her glow when she danced, all eyes on her.

After she finished dancing she came over to my throne and, bowed

''My king care to dance?" She grinned

I looked around the room, everyone was watching to see if I'd kill her for even so as much coming over and asking me such a question. I glanced at my Arabella's picture on the wall, "She would want you to move" I remember my father told me before he passed on too.

Getting up,  I took her hand and lead her gently down to the ballroom floor, I glance at the people making a way for us. As I grabbed her waist and we gently started swaying our hips to the classic music that was playing.

''Sorry my king for being so forward, I'm still quite shocked that I still have a head'' She said

''I am shocked at myself that you still have your head too'' I said

She giggled ''I could just tell you were bored out of your mind''

''That you are right'' I said

She smiled at me. As we danced through the night.

End of flashback

Isabella P.O.V

Getting up from the bed, I pouted when I didn't see the king around when I had met him I was afraid for my life, A bet that lead me here not to sleep with the king but to just go and dance with him I had nothing to lose so I had went and asked the king to dance and here I am in his bed. Its been a year since that faithfully night.

I had learned a lot of things about the king he had been through so much yet he shows nothing his mother, sister, friend and father had died. He was left alone to raise this kingdom which was already down from the shadowlands being open, they had closed awhile ago it had felt like a dream, the demons had taken my family and friends from me and others and now their closed I didn't have to hide in the night or stay in during the day. Everyone was free from the demons.

A witch had came and closed the lands everyone was happy and honored those who died, the king was a honorable man who was praised throughout the kingdom, the witch that closed them had died because of the magic it took out of her but she was honored also.

Climbing out of the bed, I looked at the note on the nightstand and opened it.

Dear my love,

Good morning, I will not be able to see you today, but I know you'll find something to keep you entertained throughout the day, Stay out of trouble and I'll see you tomorrow.

Love

The King

I smiled as he had ended with the king, guess I'll have to figure out what to do today and I'll be sure to get in trouble like I always do. I grinned, Oh I would be having a lot of fun today.
