Chained Hearts

Lies

Dead silence was spread through out the castle. I lay in bed thinking what the hell could is running through Gordon's mind. The poor flirtatious kid wasn't even brave enough to fight back Alexander that night at the dinner table but now he is ready to attack the queen and any one in the castle.

What are his motives ? The throne? His family has plenty of money and power to begin with and I'm sure a small rejection from my end wouldn't make him want to kill me so easily or Alexander. Anyone who dares to even think to hurt Alexander thinks it over and over again. You don't attack the most powerful man and creature in this world as if it's a normal practice or routine. Gordon was here for a raw and bare fight. No weapons or back up does not seem like a plan.

I snap out of my thoughts when I feel my feet going numb in the cold water of the pool I have dipped them in. The sun has gone down and I can hear the crickets chirping as the summer breeze passes by. I close my eyes and enjoy this moment of peace because a part of me has a feeling that this calmness won't last long.

Warm lips press against my forehead and I open my eyes back up to meet deep green ones that seem to catch me by surprise every time I look into them and get lost no matter what.

"Hey"

"Hey"

The king takes his sit next to me and rolls his black sweat pants up to his knees and dips his feet into the pool along side with my feet.

" Did you talk to Gordon?" I question him and without thinking my hand just finds its way to his and I hold it .Every day I want to stay closer and closer to him. Without hesitation his hand covers mine and I smile.

" Yes, I talked to him. Took a lot of convincing and some other stuff to talk but the information was essential." His deep voice speaks out and my mind immediately figured out what he means by "other stuff. "

" Well, I mean as long as you kept your promise of not killing him then we are good. I need him alive with the treaty between my home pack and his. Also any other piece of information that he might give or be forced to give is essential." I explained as I emphasized on the force part.

I hear a deep sigh of breath next to me and a part of me already knew but prayed it would not be true. I pull my hand back and stare into his eyes for a response.

"I got all the information we needed Ava, he would rot down there in the cellar and waste space. I know he was important for the treaty but I am the king and he threatened you and everyone inside these walls, royal blood and innocents. His punishment would be by death anyways." Alexander tried to explain with a sorrow in his eyes but no regret.

" You are a king but that does not mean a free murderer. He was not himself Alexander, we could have saved him!" I yell and rise up now standing over a king with pure fury in me.

" He was a threat Ava" Alexander is now my height and I don't back down. I stare intensely in his eyes looking for a remorse but I don't see it.

" We all can be a threat . I can be a fucking threat. Why don't you just kill me now or better yet, have me killed" I backfire and take a step closer to him waiting for a reply .

Within seconds of me finishing my sentence I am pushed against the wall behind us of the castle. I heaving Alexander holds my arms above my head and his look deadly.

" Do not ever speak of your death so lightly."

" Just like you took Gordon's death lightly" I spit back and push him off me with all my strength. Promises clearly mean nothing around here or morals . Gordon wasn't himself, he was a bridge to get to us and behind this is something and someone much bigger .
