My dearest Butler

Chapter 14

Amanda's POV

I roll over to my side, thinking about what happened today. I push the covers over my head, slightly ashamed.

Does this mean that I am moving on?

If yes, why do I feel so bad for it?

I sigh out in frustration and roll over once more, only resulting in me falling to the ground with a loud thud.

I get up and free myself as a knock appears on my door.

"Come in."

Surprised to see Jack coming in, I back away, almost falling over my nightstand.

Well, that's an only me moment. Go ahead, embarrass yourself a bit more, would you.

"U-uh w-what do you want?" I stutter.

"Oh, nothing. I just came to check on you, I guess." He answers with a smile forming on his lips. He slowly walks over to where I am standing and stops once he is standing right in front of me. "Can I stay here for a bit?" I slowly nod at him and his smile grows bigger. "Good." He breathes out while plopping down on my bed.

I carefully sit down on my bed too, watching him.

He looks around until his gaze lands on my blanket which is still laying on the floor. "What happened there?" He asks while pointing at it.

"Nothing." I reply with a shrug. "Well is there any special reason for you to come and visit me?"

"Is there any reason for you to invite me to your palace?" He asks back.

"Well what is the reason then?"

"I don't know. I guess I'm just bored." He lies down and stares at the ceiling.

I look at him for a while before doing the same. "Who did you lose then?"

"Hm?" He turns his face to look at me and I copy his action.

"Earlier you said that you know how it feels like to lose someone close. Who did you lose then?"

"Only the most important person in my life." He replies with a sad smile, his eyes never leaving my own. "I guess he was your most important person and that's why I think that I can relate.

He turns his face away, now staring at the ceiling again. "I'm sorry." I whisper. I see a smile forming on his lips again.

Curious about it, I find myself asking "Who was she?" I wait a bit until I ask "Was she your mate?" After saying it out loud I could slap myself. Why am I so nosy anyway?

I-

"Her name was Mahalia." He says, still not looking at me while a tear runs down his face. "We were born on the same day and I was only two minutes older. We were always there for each other since our parents couldn't. They died in a war just like many wolves did. I was too young to lead a pack so my uncle became the new alpha." He takes a deep breath.

"When I was 16, we went to run through the forest but we stopped when we noticed someone following us. It was a vampire. But I only figured when he already killed her. He just snapped her neck and she was gone. Forever. That bastard smirked at me and run away leaving me with the corpse of Mahalia. That day I have lost the only person I really cared about, my twin."

He looks at me again and now I can clearly see the pain in his eyes. It makes my heart ache since I know what it feels like.

"I'm so sorry for your loss." I sit up and look down. "I'm sorry that you had to watch your twin die without being able to do anything. And I am thankful that you still came here and accept my invitation even if a vampire killed your sister."

He sits up too "Your mate was killed by a wolf too and I guess there is no need to be racist."

I smile to myself "Yeah, you're right."

I lean in and wrap my arms around him while he does the same. We lie down and cuddle, not sharing a single word but it feels nice.

"Was this your reason to invite me here? Because a wolf killed the king?" He asks softly.

I sigh "let's say... it was part of the reason."

"Well" he says "My twin was part of the reason for me to come here too."

I smile to myself and enjoy the warmth radiating from him. I don't feel cold since I'm basically a corpse anyway but it feels nice to feel the heat of a living body, a wolf not to mention since they are a bit hotter that humans anyway.

But it's not only that.

Just being around someone that can understand how you feel and even feels the same, it makes you feel like you're not alone.

I snuggle myself closer to him as he places a kiss on my forehead. I listen to his heartbeat and soon fall asleep.
