The Raven Prince

Chapter Ten

Raven awoke in a state of pure bliss, he had his beloved princess in his arms. He stared down at Tatum's sleeping face nestled in his white shirt, her mouth open, ever so slightly, her golden hair wrapped around her like a beautiful glowing halo, and her small frame nestled close to his warmth. He relished in the feel of her heart beating against him. Oh, how he wished to awaken to this everyday for the rest of eternity.

His daydreaming abruptly reached its end when the sound of knuckles met his door. Confused, he glanced toward the bay window, confirming that it was just before dawn. Not wanting to awaken his princess, he gently moved her off of him, causing her to wince in her sleep. Realizing how much pain he could cause her, he froze. Meanwhile, the person on the other side of the door was growing rather impatient, knocking louder and more fervently.

All of the ruckus caused Tatum to awaken with a cranky groan and Raven to growl with uncontainable aggrivation. How dare they awaken his love. She is unwell and needs all the rest she can possibly get, whoever it was at the door is keeping his love from getting well, and this made Raven very angry.

He clenched his hands into fists at his side and tried to calm himself. Beside him Tatum moaned with irritability and looked to the young prince in disdain. "Aren't you gonna get that?"

At the sound of her sexy sleep ridden voice, he calmed. Without a word, he gave his love a peck on the forehead before making his way to the door. He through it open only to find Terrace on the other side with a golden colored beast laying lazily at his feet.

"Terrace, what is that?" Raven asked.
Terrace opened his mouth to reply only to be cut of by Tatum screaming.

"Blue! Come here boy!" The beast at Terrace's feet jumped up and ran at Tatum at full speed, without hesitation. Raven didn't like that at all and was about to tackle the creature to the ground, but was intercepted by his scout. Terrace grabbed his prince by the arms and pulled him back.

"Me prince, look!" Terrace managed out before Raven attacked him. Ravin swung around to find Tatum cuddling the beast with a giant smile gracing her face. "That me lord, is a dog. The lad's name is Blue." With that explanation, Raven eased back some, but the size of the beast's teeth mad him uneasy. Especially when they are that close to Tatum's face.' Let's see how this plays out', he thought.
