Chapter 8
Lacy's POV
I stare in shock at Harry, searching his eyes for a sign that he's not telling the truth. He nods and takes one of my hands in his, squeezing my palm gently before holding tightly to my fingers. A sort of choking sound erupts from my throat, and I gasp for air, tears springing up in my eyes. Harry leaps to his feet, rubbing my back and arms to try and soothe me. I place my head in between my knees, breathing in and out softly to try and calm down from my panic attack.
"Lacy, are you okay?" Harry asks me a few minutes later, bending down from his tall height to match my level. I pull my head out from between my knees and nod, wiping away the few stray tears that remain on my cheeks. Harry pulls me close, so close that I'm now sitting on his lap. He tucks my head underneath his chin, rocking us back and forth.
"It's okay, love. Niall and Liam are scouting out the area where Ed is hiding your mother, not a very good hiding place, considering they found it. We're going to meet up with Zayn and Louis now, and from there we will travel to where Niall and Liam are to retrieve your mother," Harry whispers in my ear, picking me up. I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his shoulders, burying my face in his neck. Harry carries me across the boat and into the tiny bedroom that's installed into the boat. He opens the door and walks inside, closing it again with his boot. He sets me on the bed and moves to leave when I stop him.
"Harry," I whisper, "will you do something for me?"
"Anything, angel" he promises, sweeping his curls off of his forehead.
"Will you make me forget for right now? Will you show me that you'll never leave me? Will you take care of me?" I ask, hinting at something darker than what I'm saying. Harry's emerald eyes grow darker with what I assume is love and lust.
"Are you sure, baby girl? I don't want to do this, and you regret it later," he says, crawling across the bed so that he's hovering over me. I nod, looking up at him.
"I want this, I want you, more than I've ever wanted anything else," I murmur, wrapping my legs around his waist. I feel something poke against my stomach, and Harry closes his eyes for a minute, breathing in and out through his nose.
"Are you sure you don't want one of the other boys?" He asks, his voice husky and low. I shake my head.
"I don't care which one of you it is, I'm just happy it'll be one of you," I confess. "Harry, please."
"Alright, Lacy, hold on a second. I'll take care of you," he promises darkly, kissing me on the lips.

When I wake up, Harry is gone, and there is a calm that flutters around the room. I smile to myself and touch my neck, feeling the place where Harry laid his mark. I stand up, wrapping the sheets around my naked body, I walk out onto the boat, going up the stairs and into the office where Harry is manning the ship. I wrap my arms around him from behind, burying my face in his shoulder.
"How did you sleep, love?" He asks me, turning and kissing my forehead before returning his gaze back to the sea. I grin.
"Wonderful, thank you. But you left before I woke up," I pout slightly. Harry releases a fond chuckle, running a hand through his hair.
"I'm sorry, baby. I woke up and had to get back to the boat," he informs me, and I tighten my arms around his waist before releasing them all together. He gives a half-hearted whine, turning to me with a sad look on their face.
"Do you have any food here?" I ask him. Harry nods and points to a cabinet on my left; I turn and open the doors of the cabinet, pulling out a few granola bars and bottles of water. A piece of paper falls to the floor, and I grab it, turning to make sure that Harry isn't looking.
As my eyes scan over the paper, I quickly realize that it's the same paper from the house, the one that informed me of the boys' royal status, the paper that made me flee from them in the first place.
"Harry," I begin warily, "why is there a paper here saying that Zayn, Niall, Louis, Liam, and you are princes, and that you need to return back to your kingdom?" Harry's shoulders tense, and he turns to look at me, his eyes wide.
"Listen, baby -" he tries to talk, but I cut him off.
"You wondered why I ran away from you after I found out I had Leukemia. You want to know why? Because of this letter, that is why I ran back to my mother. I found this letter in the bathroom, and now, I find it again?" My voice raises in anger, and my hands rip the letter to shreds.
"Lacy, what you read on that letter is true. The boys and I, we are princes. We were searching for our mate, for you, everywhere, trying to find you so that we could protect you and love you forever. The kingdom that we rule eventually found out that we found you and hadn't returned with you, so they sent those letters. They need us back, which is why after we rescue your mother, we were planning on telling you and returning with you and your mother to our kingdom," Harry explains, holding up his hands in front of him to try and calm me. I growl in anger and grab the food and water, racing down the steps and onto the front of the boat.
"I can't believe you! Last night, the night that we made love and bonded as soul mates, was one of the best nights of my life! I let you mark me, and you wait to confess everything afterwards! Proves what kind of person you are!" I spit at him, whirling around when he touches my arm.
"Lacy, wait, please!" Harry shouts in frustration, but I just turn away from him. I sit down on one of the chairs and rip into one of the granola bars, eating it hungrily. I ignore Harry's pleas as I eat and drink from the water bottles, tensing up and turning away every time he tries to touch me. Eventually, he growls in anger and frustration and goes back up the stairs and into the office to steer the ship.
I give a sigh once I've eaten my full, looking out into the sea and wondering where it will take me, to a future of love or a future of hate.
