Die For Something Beautiful

Chapter Eleven

                                                                               Remington's POV
              I hesitantly look up to see the expression on Amara's face. It was pure shock. She almost looked hurt. That was the last thing I wanted to happen. She just sat there, trying to process it all.

              "Is this true? Are all three of you really kings?" She asks lowly.

              "Yes it is. We are vampire royalty. As Damon has said, we've been ruling for 300 years." Sebastian calmly and gently explained to Amara.

              "Why? How? Were you royalty when you were human? I don't understand!"

              "We stayed to ourselves for a couple centuries, avoiding conflict and mainly to not draw attention to ourselves and for survival. After doing that and by showing promise, for example, Emerson starting the Renaissance, the other vampire nobility came to us. They told us how since the last ruler died and have any successors, they all chose the three of us." I said. I look at her again to see how she is handling the new pieces of information. She looks like she is thinking very hard. She looks beautiful. Get it together Leith.

               "I can't believe this! Were you planning on telling me? At all? Or were you going to keep me in the dark?" Amara says with tears in her eyes. Oh no, I've made her upset.

                Before I get a chance to respond, she stands up. "I-I need a minute." Amara walks down the hallway and into her bedroom. We all hear the door slam.

               "I think it's safe to say that the movie night is over. Thank you everyone for coming over." Sebastian said as he escorts everyone to the front door and out of the house. Then it's just the three of us.

               "Well that went differently then I thought it would." Emerson acknowledged. He was right. While I didn't think she'd be 100% okay with finding out, I didn't think she would basically run away.

               "I'm going to go talk to her. And hopefully smooth everything out."

               "I hope she doesn't react like this when you tell her she's your soulmate." Sebastian mused.

               "Not helping Sebastian." I walk away from the both of them and head towards Amara's room. I gently knock on the door.

                "Who is it?" Could be heard quietly from the other side of the door.

                 "Its me, Remington."

                 "Come in, I guess."

                  I slowly open the door and walk in. Amara is sitting on her bed, fiddling with one of the pillows. "Are you doing ok?" I gently ask her. I sit down next to her and wait for her to answer. She doesn't look at me for a couple of seconds.

                  Amara takes a deep breath before saying, "This is all a lot to take in. First I find out that you're vampire sand then that you are royalty. I mean it explains the thrones I saw in The Underground. But what really concerns me is our relationship."

                 "What do you mean? What about our relationship? I thought everything was fine. I love you Amara."

                  "And I love you too, Rem. But since you are royalty, a king, won't you have to eventually marry some royal girl? I'm by no means one."

                  I look at her. She had a sadness in her eyes that breaks my heart. " no one can or will tell me who to marry. I will marry for love and not for 'status'. That is not how me and my brothers rule things. I can tell you this, thee is no noble girl I want to marry. The only girl I want and can see marrying is you." I tell her honestly.

                  She looks at me in shock. "You- you want to marry me?"

                 "Well yes. Eventually I do. I love you and want to spend the rest of my days, from now until forever with you." I say before kissing her deeply and passionately. She is the only girl I want to spend forever with.

                                                                              Unknown POV
                 "Sir, have you found her?"

                 "Yes. After many years of searching, I have found her. I will have her and the crown will be mine. I will make sure of it."
