Sebastian's POV:
I'm so fucking happy.
Finally, some time away from everyone and everything. After everything that's happened since getting Juliette to the Grand house, it's nice to actually get some alone time with my Mate.
I could finally escape the confines that my obligations of being a King had kept me in. I've always wanted to return to England again because the last time I was here, the whole Grey Solano family was together.
Along with my idiot siblings, my mother was there - staring at my father with an intense gaze that was so loving and warm - my father also, staring at my mother with the same intensity. I knew when I saw them stealing glances from each other, that I wanted that kind of love for myself.
I wanted to be able and stare at the love of my life the way my father had stared at his - with true love and content. To be able to spoil her and tease her to no limit. Many years later, that longing wish of mine finally came true when I first laid my eyes on Juliette two years ago.
I could see it in her eyes how innocent she was. I could also see a fire that burns in her soul - the same fire that's still alight and burning each time I'd gaze into those deep blue eyes of hers.
Her eyes had so much determination and curiousity in them. I could definitely see my future in those eyes, even if they were glazed over from being drunk..... and terrified.
I feel so fucking guilty for not being the proper Mate that she deserves. I ruined her life, and she forgave me after she only knew me for two days. I destroyed probably the only thing that anchored her to remember her childhood days.
I have no idea how I ever even got to have such a beautiful and wonderful Mate such as her. The best part about her is, she knows what traits she possesses but still remains humble about it. If it were some bimbo she would've moved Heaven and Earth to seduce me the first day we laid eyes on each other.
That's how different she is already.
She isn't like the other Ladies of the Court, evident as it is, and she made sure that every single person knows exactly how different she is. That's what I love about her most.
She doesn't give two shits on her appearance - even if she doesn't need to - unlike the women that spend so many hours on their appearance you'd think that they're going to see Zeus himself.
She's tough, feisty, and doesn't give a damn...not to mention astoundingly beautiful, humble, and incredibly insane. She's caring, and even though she won't admit it so easily, she's a family girl. I know that she'd do anything to protect our family.
My Mate is insane. And that's my favourite part about her.
I can't help but worry that this is probably a wonderful dream of mine and I'll wake up only to find that I'm back at the house... without her.....
Sometimes I just wanna hold her and never let her go, but I know that with all that's going on in my life right now....the secrets I've been keeping from her....
When I was a century old, my biggest fear was to not have enough money and power, but now, five hundred years later, my biggest fear is losing my Mate and the love of my life.

Juliette's POV:
I heard everything....well, at least everything.
Seb woke me up with his thoughts. That tends to happen when he's deep in thought, forgetting to secure the slight barrier that we have in our minds so that we don't have full access to each other's thoughts.
