Love Conquers All

Chapter Twenty Nine

George's POV

"Where the hell did you come from?" I growl at him and freeze up. No weapons, its a wedding. Who brings weapons to a wedding?" More importantly, how the hell did you get in?"

"I'm a ,or I was a king , George, I have powers that you wouldn't even think of." He purrs into my ear and eyes hunt  the crowd, his eyes land on Alex and his smile grows cat like.

"The powers of going away would suit you just fine right now. " I sneer." What are you doing here? I told you to leave them alone."

"You also told me I'd have my bait and be ruling three lands George. " I sing songs with an annoyed tone." Looks like we both don't always get why we want."

"I'm here, I'm here to protect them. You have to go through me to get to them first." My nails dig holes into the wood beneath me.

"That doesn't seem so hard." His eyes tease, I cut him a glare and let my lip lift into a sneer.

"I mean it John, you ,or Aaron, or whoever the hell is working for you two ass wipes better stay away from my family. You stay away from my home." I stand and cut him a razor sharp glare." Or do you really think I haven't figured out who I am yet?"

His eyes widen and he pales. He takes a  step back as I turn to him fully, my teeth bare at him and I let out a growl. 

"You.. You're bluffing!" He shakes his head and eyes narrow at me.

"Try. Me." I huff at him.

"He's right John." Laf says from behind me, his arms are crossed and he's weponless, yet he's never been more intimidating. "He knows. I suggest you get out and leave before he shows you who he is. "

"This is no where near being over." He seems to melt into the darkness before we can cram in another word.  I glance at Laf, his eyes are ablaze and they're set on me.

"So.... what am I?" I cock my head and carefully sit back down. He chuckles and looks down at me, he takes a few steps back and eyes gleam with knowledge.

"That's for you to figure out." He starts wondering back to the crowd.

"Hey Lafayette," he stops and looks at me. I stand up and punch him in the jaw as hard as I can. His eyes widen and he staggers back.  Everyone goes silent." Take your ideas, shove them up your ass, and leave our minds alone. I want no part of your plans ever again."He rubs his jaw and studies me with critical eyes.

" Of course George." He nods slowly and slips into the crowd as people start talking and dancing again. Philip comes over cooly and sits down next to me, his arm secretly curls around my waist and he rubs small circles into my hips.

"Are you okay?" He whispers to me. I nod and study my knuckles with a frown. A punch like that would've broken anyones hand, I hit him with my knuckles, I should be screaming  in pain. But there's not even a bruise.

"Yeah.... yeah I'm fine." I nod.

"Let me see." He takes my hand and carefully runs his thumb over my knuckles. "They're not broken.." he looks suprised.

"Surprising hu?" I give a crooked smile and nod.

"The last person who sent Laf staggering like that with a punch shattered his wrist. " Philip shakes his head and rubs my wrist.

"I'm fine Philip." I smile and put my hand over his." Im not going to die.'

"Well,it's always good to check. " He sets his jaw and nods firmly. "I can't see you get hurt again, not ever again."

"It's weird, ever since I came back from six feet under I haven't gotten a single scratch or bruise.  And I've gotten into many,many fights. " I shake my head.

"You know, that's kinda like Laf.  I've seen the man get tackled by a snow giant and kill it, the worst he got from that was a bruise on his shoulder. And it was tiny!" Philip rubs his jaw with his knuckles and shakes his head.

"Odd..." I muse softly.

"No kiddin'." He nods and pulls me up.  "Can I walk you home?"

"One, who says I'm going home?" I smirk at him." And two, you're the groom here. You should stay."

"I want you to get home safe, there's alot of people here who would love to see your head sailing on a flag pole." He picks up my jacket and dusts it off.

"That's... a nice picture." I laugh and he puts my jacket around shoulders.

"No kidding.  Besides, knowing your luck you'll trip and get yourself killed.  Id like to see you home." He waves ro his dad and points to town, Thomas studies us before nodding and grinning.  He makes a motion that says 'I'll find an excuse for bridezilla on why you're gone'. Philip snorts and shakes his heas as we walk over the bridge.

"Hey George." His arm goes around my waist and he pulls me into his side.

"Yeah hot shot?" I look at him and his freckles seem to glow faintly.  I grin.

"I love you. " he kisses my cheek softly and I lean into it happily. He craddles my head in his head softly and sways slowly.

"I love you too freckles. " I grin at him we continue to walk home.

Walking me home turned into walking me to the castle, which turned into me falling asleep in bed next to Philip.  Both of us had smiles that could easily out shine the sun.
