A Royal Love: Royals of Solniana

Chapter eighteen

-Jack's POV-

"I can't believe it! He was one of them all this time?" Uncle William says to us. "He hid it very well." Aunt Luna answers. "But that does explain why he was never seen with a woman. Because he's a widower and has children." Dad says to them. "Maybe this means that they aren't that bad." Mom says to them. "Aren't that bad? May, they've killed more people in the time that they're here than the amount of murders that happen in five years!" Uncle says to her mad. "I know that, but he never killed someone." "Maybe he did, but we just don't know." Dad says to her.

"My king?" A servant says when he enters the room. "Yes?" Uncle asks him. "There are some citizens who want to talk to you. About our 'guests'." "Let them in." Uncle replies immediately. "Yes, my king." The servant says and walks out of the room.

After a while, a man and woman enter the room. "You wanted to talk to me?" Uncle says to them. "Yes, we wanted to talk about-" The woman starts but dad interrupts her. "We know; can you just tell us what is so important." "You have seen the reaction of the one who attacked the minister when you used his girlfriend to chase them away." "Yes, we have." Mom answers. "Well, we were filming a deer for our documentary when we saw them. They were mad at us for filming the deer because it was scarred. They told us that it was pregnant and the woman, who is here the longest, was really mad." "And you're still alive?" Dad asks them surprised. "Matt..." Uncle says to dad which makes dad look at him. "What? She has killed a lot of people and they all made her mad. I'm just saying what you're thinking."

"We are still alive because of a man who was with them." The woman says answering dad's question. "A man? Do you know who it is?" Aunt asks them. "No, we don't. that is why we are here. We hoped that you could use your power as king to search this man." "What did that man do to save you?" Mom asks them. "He just walked to her, told her that he didn't know that the deer was pregnant either and asked her if she would hurt him too." The man answers. "She didn't reply to that so the man told us that we could leave. So, we left." The woman continues. "That's impressive." Dad says to us.

"Can you describe how he looked?" Aunt asks them. They look at each other and then back at us. "He had brown, short hair with brown eyes." The man says. "And he was wearing red sweater and grey jeans." The man continues. "Oh and he was about the same age as princess Lauretta and prince Jackson." The woman says. "Thank you for telling us this. We appreciate it." Uncle tells them and they leave.

When the door closes, uncle looks at me and Laure. "Do you have any idea who it is?" "No, why would we?" I answer him. "Because you two have been alone with them." Dad answers me. "That was one time!" Aunt looks at Laure. "Are you sure that you don't know?" "Yes, I'm sure." She replies. "Good, that means that you are save." Aunt says to her. "Save?" Laure asks her. "Yes, you have seen what happened to that woman who is in love with one of them. She became a threat to her own people." Mom answers. "A threat?" "Yes, so if an officer sees her on the streets he's allowed to arrest her." Mom answers her.

Laure looks at me and then at her dad. "I think I know who it is." "Laure!" I yell but she ignores me. "Tell us." Uncle says to her. "Laure, you can't do that!" I say to her. "It's Ryan." She says to them. "Ryan?" Dad asks to which she nods. "He's in love with her, he told us before the concert began." "He's making a big mistake! Do you know where he is?" "I don't know, probably in his house." Laure replies which makes them look at me. "Where is his house?" Dad asks me. "I don't know." "Jackson." Uncle says irritated. "What? I don't know." "Jackson, if you really care for your friend, you have to tell us." Aunt says to me. "I really don't know where he lives." "You don't?" Laure asks me. "I don't." "Why not?" "I don't know."

"Go to bed, I'll ask someone to search it. Tomorrow, we'll go to his house." Uncle says. Laure nods and walks away. I turn around too, but stop when uncle calls me. "Jackson, give us your phone." I look at them. "Why?" "So you won't try to warn him." I sigh deeply and give him my phone.

-Ella's POV-

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I hear Ryan say which wakes me. "Huh, What?" I ask sleepily. "I-I... I touched you." He says sounding sad. "What!?" I ask, suddenly awake. "I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do?" He asks me. I get up and look at him. "No, there isn't." I say walking out of his bedroom and he follows me. I walk in the living room and sit in the sofa, cupping my face in my hands. "There has to be something I can do." He says sitting down next to me. "Well, there isn't."

It's quiet for a while until he speaks again. "Let me be your mate." He says to me which makes me look at him. "What? My mate?" "Yes. If I'm your mate, then you wouldn't have broken the rules." "You have no idea what being mates is, I can't let you be my mate without you knowing it." "Then tell me all about it."

I stand up and walk to the door. "I need to go to my family." He stands up too. "Ella, please stay." "My family is going to be worried." "They are already worried, please stay." "You can't be my mate." She says turning around to look at me. "Why not? Isn't a mate someone who loves you?" "Yes, it is." "Well, I love you." "Ryan..." I start, but stop when he grabs my hands and hold them. "Ella, you're the only person that I really love. I don't want to lose you." He says looking into my eyes. "I...I..." He doesn't let me talk and kisses me. I kiss him back and he puts his arms around me. When we end our kiss, he still has his hands around me and looks me in the eyes. "Let me be your mate."

We stand there, looking into each other's eyes in silence until we hear a lot of noise on the streets. "What's that?" I ask him. "I don't know." He answers letting me go and walking to the front door. I follow him and we go outside.

"Ryan!" We hear and both look to the direction from where it came. The royals, amazing. "What's going on?" Ryan says walking to them. "What is she doing at your house?" The king asks him, sounding mad. "She spent the night with me." He answers them. "What!?" I hear which makes me sigh deeply. My family, just what I needed right now. "You were with him!?" James asks me. "The whole night!?" Jason asks. "I can explain." I say walking closer to them. "Wait." Jason says which makes me stop walking.

"You've been touched!" He suddenly yells which makes me take a few steps back. "I can explain that too." I say to them, still walking away. "What is there to explain!? You've been touched!" James yells to me. "Let her explain." Ryan says to them. Why did he say that? "You touched her!" James yells him. "You're going to pay for that!" Jason yells to him which makes Ryan takes a few steps back. They all change in their powerful form -well except for Maria of course- and run to him. I quickly change in my powerful form and run to him too. Just before they can attack him, I create a shield around me and Ryan. "Don't you dare hurt him!" I yell to them. "Ella, he touched you!" James says to me. "Yes, he did. But you never once thought that maybe I liked it." I say to them. "You did?" Lucy asks. "Yes, I did. Besides, he only hugged me." I say to them. "Well, and we kissed twice." I say smiling at Ryan. "What!?" I hear James yell which makes them angry again.

I sigh deeply, put my hands on my heart and close my eyes. "I summon you." I say quietly. A white light appears which makes everyone quiet. "Serea." Dad says amazed. "What is happening here?" She asks calmly, looking at me. "They want to kill Ryan." I answer her. She looks at Ryan. "And you are Ryan?" "Yes, I am." "I have heard a lot about you. You are the one who Mirella loves." "And I love her." He answers which makes me smile. "You do?" She asks Ryan to which he nods in response.

She then looks at my family. "I don't see why you want to hurt him." "He isn't one of us!" Jason says to her. "If you really think that way, then why is your girlfriend an earthling too?" Serea asks him. "That's different." "Are we really going to start that argument again?" I ask annoyed. Serea looks at me and then back to them. "You have already talked about this?" "Yes, we have." Lucy answers her.

"Then I will end this argument for you. Mirella is going to be the queen of my planet and I want the queen of my planet to be happy. She will only be happy when she is with the one she loves, not some random man from Solniana." Serea says to them while her eyes and hair turn a bit darker. "You should be happy that she found someone she loves and that he loves her back!" She continues. We all take a few steps back from her, now that her eyes and hair turns even darker. She takes a few deep breaths to calm down and then looks at Ryan. "If you are prepared to leave your life on this planet behind and start a whole new life on Solniana as Mirella's mate, then I will allow you to be the new king." She says while her eyes and hair turn back white. "You will?" Ryan asks her. "I will." She answers. "Well, I already told Ella that I want to be her mate." He says to her. "Good, then you don't need me anymore." She says looking back at me. "Thanks, Serea." I say smiling to her. "You are welcome, sweetheart."
