Aiyana
It's been two weeks since we had come back from the U.K. trip. We eat together, take walks in the garden. Everything seems perfect...quiet. Which is unusual. I haven't seen the King or Queen in the past couple of weeks and it's starting to worry me. This is their kingdom so where the hell are they? Not that I have any care of their well being, but Ace has been acting strangely as well. He's been more affectionate and protective. Whenever I ask him about his mother or father or about what happened the night he came in with blood on his shirt he immediately changes the subject.
As of right now, it's night, Ace is out and I'm getting ready for bed, but my question is; where is Ace? Every now and then he goes out at night and comes back when I'm about to go to sleep, but that's usually because I contact him with our bond that I'm going to bed and he gets to our room right away and once again tonight is one of those nights.
Ace we need to talk. I'm busy Love. There it is with that nickname. Now. No response. Ace! I clench my fists. He has to come home, I need to know what's going on. Fine. I sigh in relief. Half an hour later he's here. I get up off the bed and give him a hug. I've missed him.
"I've missed you too," he grins. I pull away and smack him upside the head.
"Don't. Where the hell have you been," I demanded. His expression turns dark.
"That's none of your concern," he replies.
"Yes, it is," I say through clenched teeth. He looks away from me. I can't hear what he's thinking, he's blocking me out. "Ace," I beg. He still refuses to look at me. "What happened the night you came in with blood on your shirt?" He now looks at me with a cold stare.
"I can't tell you," he says.
"Why not?" I ask softly cupping his cheek. He sighs.
"Because if I do, you won't look at me the same way you're looking at me now," he answers. I plant a quick kiss on his lips.
"Nothing you have done will ever change the way I look at you," I promise him. He visibly relaxes.
"Are you sure you want to know," he asks, I nod. He sighs once again and we both take a seat on the edge of the bed. I hold his arms and he holds mine. "After my father killed Emily. I saw how hurt you were and how you still are hurt now and after it had happened I was angry, furious with him, with what he did to you and what he did to your friend. So when you were asleep, I was requested to speak with him. He tried to talk to me about consequences for my wife and I snapped. I-I killed him," I release one of his arms and cover my mouth. His head snaps towards me and I see him debating whether or not he should go on. "Angels can't be killed. Well, they can, but they won't stay dead. They're immortal. This means they can be killed over and over again. So that what I was doing. I killed him countless of times, but only because he hurt you. It was his blood on my shirt. After I continued to speak with him, he finally saw me as a rightful King so we began to negotiate how we would set the human race free, we began drawing up plans. That's what I was doing tonight. I guess killing him made him proud of me, who would have thought. My mother is angry with me, that's why she hasn't been around," he finishes. He scans me watching my reaction. He killed his father. Well not actually killed him, but still... I take a deep breath. He loves me. I know this, he wouldn't do anything to hurt me, he even said he wanted to set my kind free. I exhale.
"Are you okay?" I ask. I know what he's done is wrong, horribly wrong, but he did it for me. That doesn't justify his actions, but I made a promise. I love him. I know he's good.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he replies. I wrap my arms around his neck and bury my head in his chest.
"Please, never do something like that again," I beg. He grits his teeth.
"Aiyana, I can't promise something like that, if someone hurts you, there's no telling what I'll do," he shakes his head. What do I do? I love Ace, but I don't want him killing people because of me, granted his father isn't actually dead, but not everyone is an Angel, but I can't just cut off the engagement, I love him too much for that. I sigh.
"Okay, it's not right, but I trust you," I look up at him. "Let's go to bed it's been a long night," I yawn. He nods and we lie in bed and he pulls the covers over us. I turn so I'm facing him and his blue-green eyes look back at me. I close my eyes and begin to fall asleep.
Ace
I frown a bit as she falls asleep. I wish I never had to tell her that, but being who Aiyana is she's relentless and won't stop until she knows. She didn't run away, she didn't pull away from me. She said she didn't agree with what I did, but she accepted it, she didn't look at me any differently than she did before. I'm relieved. I should've trusted she would've been more understanding. She is an amazing girl. I tuck a stray hair behind her ear and kiss her forehead. I know what I did was terrible and sadistic, but he hurt her and all I want to do is protect her and if I'm being honest she' be safer if my father was dead.
