Markus's POV

"So I've been called home," Melody sighed, walking into my office.

"You mean to your parent's house?" I asked, looking up from my work.

"No, I mean back to my planet. I've been called back to Transmonia and my mom is being super vague about why."

"I thought Transmonia was a country?"

"It is. I've been called back to Kingston, Transmere in Transmonia on the planet Cigam which is roughly 17,000 lightyears away from Earth."

"Any idea when you'll be back?"

"None. I have no idea why I've been called in the first place, I don't know when I'll be back or why my mother is being so uncharastically vague. All I know is that I need to go home for a bit. And I'm kind of freaking out. Last time I was called home my twin found out she was Mated to my abusive ex."

"Come here, Songbird," I smiled, reaching for her hand. She gave it to me and I pulled her into my lap. "No matter what happens, we are going to make it. Everything will be ok, I promise," I told her, rubbing her back.

"I hear you but it's not registering. My brain cannot compute."

"I can probably get Simon or North to go with you if you're that nervous," I offered, annoyed that I couldn't go myself. There was simply too much to do.

"No, don't. I'm a big girl and I need to be there for my country, whatever is going on with it. I'm just upset that I dunno how long I'll be away from you." My heart shattered at those words; I wanted nothing more than to go with her.

"Are you trying to guilt-trip me?"

"I'm trying to be honest with my husband and you're being annoying. Maybe, I just won't come back," She glared at me playfully.

"You'll be ok, baby. You'll be back in my arms in no time, sure of it. Do you need help packing? I could spare an hour or two."

"I don't have to pack anything. Everything is provided for me. Did you forget that I'm the Crown Princess of Transmonia, the heir to the throne?" She laughed.

"Is it rude to say yes?"

"I'd rather you be rude than lie to me."

"Then yes, I completely forgot that little detail."

"Ya'know, sometimes I forget too," She smiled before connecting our lips.

"I would like to take advantage of that hour you offered," She whispered huskily when we broke apart.

Melody's POV

"I do have to leave now," I sighed, holding onto Makus's body with vigor. We were in bed, with Makus on his back and me laying on his chest.

"I know. I'll see you soon, Songbird," He said gently, still rubbing my back.

"I don't want to leave you," I mumbled, knowing he still heard me.

"You have to. Come on, I'll help you clean up and then you have to go," He said, sitting up and holding my bridal style, leading me to the bathroom. He set me on the toilet and drew us a bath.

When it was ready he picks me up again and got in behind me before taking great care to wash every inch of my body.

"Markus, don't you think you're taking the whole 'Princess treatment' a bit far?" I asked as he rinsed me.
