Beautiful Bastard [H.S]

24•Back For You

Harry's pov

I pressed my palm to my door pad my door opened and I stepped in I set down my bag ,which had already been checked for contraband or whatever they'd think they'd find

I threw it down and changed into my guards uniform black boots, black pants, ammo belt, black jacket the works I tucked a pair of boxers into my pocket I'd asked Alexis to use her shower

I armed my guns but put on the safety and marched to the palace to Alexis ready to tell her of my time off knowing she'd ask but also ready to hear about what happened without me

As I got to the door Williams was there I smiled but he didn't smile make making my smile fade "what's wrong?"

"Queen didn't leave her room yesterday not even when the King called she was throwing up a lot..." he trailed off and shook his head "I think she's in poor health"

I furrowed my eyebrows I hope she really was just sick but I know better I stepped in Dimitri grabbed me "I don't know how to help her" he sounded desperate

Fuck I knew it "what happened?" I asked quietly

"I don't know he made us leave the room all I know was he tore her dress to shreds" her dress she'd worked so damn hard on that dress "then she threw up... for a long time"

"I've got it from here" I nodded he looked to the bed where I assume she was then nodded he stepped out closing the door silently behind him I turned and she looked like she was sleeping

I walked over first I scanned her face over for immediate injures I didn't see any "my Queen?" I bit my lip hard "Alexis?" She responded to that she rolled over

"Alexis?" She blinked then looked wide awake

"Harry?" She sat up I rescanned still not seeing injures

"Is everything okay?" I whispered still since that was just the volume we both had

She shook her head and teared up "h-he raped me again... he wouldn't get off me he-he smelled of fish and-and he-he came in me and ripped my dress up I-I threw up on the great hall floor a-and oh Harry it was horrific" she held her arms out and I hugged her

I swallowed hard "how'd you get him to go away?"

"I threw up until I passed out..." she squeezed as if this was all a dream and I'd melt through her fingers at any second

I rubbed her back "I'm here I'm here now and I'm so sorry I didn't help in your time of need" I hope this wouldn't weaken the bond she had to me

"It's okay" her tone told me it wasn't

I pulled away from her "you didn't hurt yourself did you?" She shook her head "but you didn't leave this room... have you eaten?" She shook her head

"I'll order some food" I pulled out my tablet

"I'm not hungry" she argued

"What if I feed you?" I felt like that could help

"Okay" she nodded I nodded and told the cook she wants something light I stuffed my tablet in my breast pocket then sighed I rubbed her face wiping tears

"Alexis I'm so sorry I wasn't here forgive me"

"You have done nothing that needs forgiveness... h-how's your family? What did you do?" She wanted to change topics maybe from fear of being sick again she pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them poor girl she's still reliving that

"I told my mother what you said and she giggled like a school girl Highness she says thank you and you're so very kind" I rubbed her knee "my father invited the family and some friends we cooked for my mother and she opened gifts then we all sat around and talked the house was completely full everyone left after midnight... it was fun" I smiled
