Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 69

William's POV

I stared at Alexandra as she slept so peacefully while laying on my chest. I began to run my fingers through her hair.

I can't believe she was the one. The one I wanted. The one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

The one I knew for sure was going to have my kid, and wasn't going to take it away from me, like those horrible women on reality television shows do.

I wanted to protect her.
I wanted to love her.
I never wanted to hurt her.

If that's one thing I'm tired of. It would be of hurting her. I didn't want to hurt her anymore.

I didn't deserve her, which made me love her even more.

"Mhm", I began to notice Alexandra toss and turn in her sleep, which was different because she was always a peaceful sleeper.

"No", I heard her cry out before jumping out of her sleep and painting heavily.

I quickly turned to her, "your okay- your okay", I tell her trying to calm her.

"Oh, god", she said in relief before running her figures through her hair.

"What was it about?", I asked.
She shook her head and bit her lip before answering, "ever since that night— I haven't been able to sleep. I'm scared, will", she says so vulnerable as tears began forming in her eyes.

"hey, hey, hey. "Listen to me, I will never let anything like that happen to you again", I say holding her gently not trying to make her cry, I hated seeing her cry.

"What's gonna happen? I mean— things will never go back to the same, Will. Your mom- your dad— I— I cut her off by wiping her tear and caressing her cheek.

"That's for me to figure out and you to know, okay? You shouldn't even be involved in my crazy families drama, away", I say.

"But I am. And now, I always will be", she says having a point, mainly because she is holding my child.

"Good back to bed. Tomorrow morning this will all be figured out with, okay?", I say.

"What about us?", she asked.

"We'll figure is out too. But for right now, you need to sleep, so come on", I say as she slowly laid back on my chest.

tonight was different.
something inside me grew for her.
I wanted to protect her & my child.
And I vow to the last breathe I take I would.
At any cost.

And if that meant locking away my mother, and keeping her out of my life for good, than so be it.

Alexandra's POV

I woke up to a every empty bed.
I looked on the night stand to notice it was around 10.

For some reason I was craving ice cream.
I removed the covers off of me, I made my way into Will's bathroom dressed in one of his very large shirt.

After brushing my teeth, I walked out the bathroom, going to his room, I opened it to find this large man standing in front of it.

"Um-excuse me?", I asked with all sass and attitude.

I mean like who in the hell is this.

"Good morning, Ms. Leighton. The name is Austin. I am your personal bodyguard. Anywhere you go, I follow. Expect to the bathroom of course", he says.

"Not this shit again", I mumbled walking past him, and so he did. He followed me. As I walked out the hallway, and down the stairs and into the kitchen, he was following me.
