The king's killer.

Death

No matter what, death seems to follow love. It tries to tear lovebirds apart and, sometimes, it's successful. When I said I was dead at the beginning of my story, you probably assumed that this was my memories, the flash before my eyes. It's not.

We ran from the kingdom we were born to. I ran from my past and Xander ran from the king. After a month of running, we made it to the Kingdom of Vampuia. Xander didn't want to meet the king, King Dante Excalibur, but I insisted.

When we walked into King Dante's throne room, there stood King Michael. Xander left the room before King Michael saw him but I remained. I explained our problem to Dante and he accepted us with open arms. I pledge our loyalty to Dante before leaving.

"So, it's official?" Xander asked quietly.

"You are Lord Xander Evans of Vampuia." I smiled at him.

"And you?" Xander wrapped his arm around me. "What tittle do you have?"

I laughed at his excitement before leaning into his embrace. I yelped when he picked me up.

"Xander!" I found myself getting carried through the castle. "I am Lord Alex Evans, your mate as Dante put it."

"Is that your actual last name?"

"No, it was my mother's maiden name.

"So, you're mine?"

"I'm yours now put me down."

He didn't put me down. We stayed at the castle for a few days before we bought a house together. We lived modestly. Even now, as I write this, we still do. King Micheal was killed three years after we became lords. The new king is a lot nicer than he was and I work as a peace keeper between the two kingdom's until they're finished with the treaty. Xander trains the humans in King Dante's army. We may be lords but we don't let that go to our heads. It's hard to think that's it's been ten years since we came here. Oh! The crime I was talking about! Right!

King Michael, in his final three years of life, kept sending assassins to kill me and Xander but they were unsuccessful. In his final year of life, he tried to say we had committed treason against him but Dante didn't believe him. It's been ten years since Alex Kay Mari died and Lord Alex Kay Evans was born. I write this merely for the child Xander and I are about to get. If he or she or whatever finds this, I wanted them to know the story of how their fathers got together and what they faced.

Sincerely,
Lord Alex Kay Evans.
AKE.
