The Rise of The Royal Rogue

Ruminate.

"Xander? ", I asked. I was shocked. All the color drained from his face and mine. I had a strong feeling that he wasn't here looking for me.

Grace howled.

He had a stubble and he didn't look like he was looking after himself.

In an instant he pulled me towards him and I cried onto his chest.

After all these years - I'm standing in front if him. Being so close with him again made me so emotional. I spent years crying after him - the loss of him and now he's standing right in front of me. My mind was a mess and I couldn't think straight. All I did was hold onto him and he held onto me tightly.

His head rested on the top of my head.

"You left me, " he croaked out, "I'm not letting you get away again - I still love you.", he took my hand and smiled weakly when he saw that I was still using the ring he proposed to me with.

"How did you find me - I can't go back with you - ", I cried, tears fell down my face.

Gosh am I mess!

"You can and you will! I didn't even know you were here- I'm here on business - breachers were spotted in Sweden. ", he said still shocked.

Breachers? Here?!

"I can't - the prophecy...", I teared up.

He walked towards me and cupped my cheeks with his hands. I moved into his touch. It felt electric - it felt so good to be around him again.

"Fuck the prophecy! ", he said desperately and he kissed me. It was so needy and so surfeiting. All my pain and worries disappeared. Just for a moment, It felt like things was going to be okay - just for a momment.

My hands ran through his hair and he held into my neck with one hand while the over held my back.

When we broke away we were both breathing heavily... I needed him and he needed me.

"We can't - ", I whispered.

"We found a loophole - we've been looking for Jacob... our leads reach here - in Sweden, With you... ", he said while he stared into my eyes.

I took a deep breath.

Was Jacob following me? if so why didn't he make a move to kill me? - I asked Grace.

"You will come back with me! ", he demanded with his Alpha voice.

"Do not use that tone with me - I am your -", I stopped mid sentence.

"My mate? ", he raised an eyebrow and clenched his jaw.

People were staring at him and I. The Greek god before made them swoon.

"You left me at the first sign of trouble - you didn't stay!", he spoke with pain.

I closed my eyes and whinced.

"It wasn't like that Xander and you know that! What choice did I have? Your kingdom turned against each other and your life was - is at risk. ", I cried.

"I would give up the throne for you - without you my life isn't worth it. ", he clenched his jaw.

"I am causing you to react harshly - your people need you and not me. You heard the sisters, they said your people need you - fey can live without me! ", I let tears flow.

"But I can't live without you! " he shouted.

We were creating a scene.

"People are watching us - ", he interrupted me.
