The Honeymoon

Chapter 22

Maxon POV
After what felt like hours in a budget meeting, I finally called it quits and told my advisors to meet back tomorrow before walking out of the room. I've always hated budget meetings because no one seems to want to give up their funds. Before I was king I couldn't really order them to do anything, but now I make sure they remember who is charge. I still listen to their thoughts but if someone is being to greedy with the money then I remind them that it's the countries money not their own.

Deciding to take a little break I go to my wife's office, but find nothing but the papers on her desk as if she up and left in a hurry. I decided to check our bedroom since recently she hasn't feeling so well and has been taking a nap sometimes just to calm down, but yet again with now luck, she isn't in our room. Starting to worry, I check both of the kids rooms, the garden, even the kitchen, but still not finding her. Where is she? Is she okay? Has something happen?

I quickly run to the hospital wing to see if she was in there, but the nurse had informed me that she was but had left a couple hours before. What was wrong?

"May I ask why she was here?" I say trying to keep my voice even.

"I'm sorry You're highness but she had asked to explain herself," she says looking down in embarrassment.

"Okay well if she stops in again please send her to my study," I respond before leaving. A couple hours... where did she go?

I run into the guard quarters and find Aspen sitting in the main area.

"Aspen America is missing." I say frantically, "find a group of guards to help find her."

After I finished speaking Aspen got up so quick he knocked his chair down. He runs to the phone and dials a number. "All free guards meet in the main hall," Aspen orders. Without a hesitation both of the men run to the main hall to meet with about ten other guards in jeans and a plain shirt.

"Okay men we need to search every part of this castle for our Queen. Please keep this between us and if you find her contact me or the King immediately," Aspen says before handing each of the men a walker talkie. He starts to send people off to search different parts of the castle, then when it's just us we head to the third floor to look in all the royal rooms. I hope she is okay. Is all I can think before searching frantically for my love.
