Fantasy AU Part 3

(Warning long story info stuff also next chapter may get insanely sad but I promise there will be a happy ending)

I flinched back at the flying glass. He sneered at the shattered glass gently patting it off his gloved hand. His eyes finally shifted back to me and he relaxed for a second only to stand abruptly.

"We will lunch later" he pulled off his gloves tossing them on the table.

He was quick to grab my hand dragging me behind him as he marched back into the castle. Through many halls we finally arrived in the room that I could only guess was his study. He grabbed a seemingly random book off the shelf pulling a key out of it. He then went to his desk unlocking one of the drawers. He pulled a delicate handkerchief out. On it had my monogram.

"All those years ago, we were so young. I was poor, just a common street rat. You and your mother had come to town. I was in an alley after having gotten in a fight with some larger kids who stole my weekly rations provided by the king. My head hung low and I wanted to cry. But you came. You saw me in that alley and gave me some spare coin and a piece of bread. You even gave me your handkerchief to dry my tears that threatened to fall. It was a short meeting but it was the best moment of my life" he carressed the warn embroidery gently, "shortly after the late king here took me in. I gave up everything, my name, my background, my whole life before being the heir. Except the handkerchief. At 16 I immediately sent you letters to try and court you. But with no response I grew desperate. The late king then tried to form an arranged marriage to help but I told him not to press the moment you declined" His wings drooped.

I gently took the handkerchief from his hands examining it. Although I can't remember meeting him in the alley I do remember the handkerchief well. It was my first embroidery. My mother urged me not to use my monogram as it would change when I got married but I insisted.

Hawk's hands found mine, "Do you remember"

I could only shake my head and his face only fell to despair, "you met me only once when we were young. Yet you wish to wed under a single encounter"

"I saw you many times after. I went to balls as servants so I wasn't caught, Duke actually aided in that. At 13 I would sneak in with him and disguise myself. Sometimes a servant or a noble son. All to get closer to you. I was scared to reveal myself and sent the letters. Only for no response"

"I assure you. I recieved no letters" I sigh feeling overwhelmed by the situation.

"Who failed to deliver them then" he stated to look upset.

A burning anger seemed to cloud around him as he let the thought fester. He let off an intimidating aura that scared me.

I finally place a hand on his arm drawing his attention, "The past is gone and no matter if you walk or run towards it you can never get close enough to change it"

He seemed to soften and he placed his hand over mine, "You're right. You are here now and that is what matters"

"The wedding is tomorrow and yet I know nothing about you" I sigh

"Unfortunately I haven't the time. I have been working to combat the league. The ones who originally kidnapped you. I worked with them as a mole but once they took you...I couldn't just follow along. They wanted to use you to kill everyone in your family including you." He had a look of worry, "After a long fight I was able to get them warp but they are still out there. After I brought you here I even took my finest men to scout for clues but they left no trace they were ever there"

"So you have been tracking them?" I ask confused

"Yes simply put. That's why I got back fairly late last night"

"Do you really think they would attack again?"

"Any time. I've tightened the security and guard postings. They aren't happy but I'd rather keep you safe" He took my hand kissing it gently.

After lunch he took me to the seamstress work room. Upon entering the seamstress shooed him out not wanting him to see the gown. After half an hour of resizing she finally let me leave again and I returned to the bedroom. I could only sit in there until finally dinner arrived so I went to the dining hall. Hawks didn't join me though. I was left to eat alone. Would this be regular? He was busy though. Hopefully he ate.

The wedding was tomorrow and I shook in excitement and fear. I never imagined marrying. This seemed like a dream. Or maybe a nightmare. I hardly knew the hawk king yet he seemed to know so much about me.

I finished and headed back to the room only for a box to catch my eye in the corner of the bedroom. Curiosity led me to opening it to find a simple chest of hobby stuff. Crafts, books, and even sporting wear. Anything I particularly enjoyed.

The door latching suddenly caught my attention as Hawks entered, "I hope you enjoy my gift. I figured you may get bored and would appreciate things you enjoy being in here as well"

"Thank you. I do appreciate this but how did you know what I like" i ask confused

"Even after you rejected me I always was curious. One of my maids frequently visited your kingdom and filled in on the gossip of the castle. I originally did it thinking I had a rival. I continued out of curiosity" he admitted

"Sounds like stalking" I huff

"Word simply travels princess" he shruged sitting on the bed to take off his boots

"We are to marry tomorrow and yet I hardly know you" i point out

"You know my past, the rumors traded across our two kingdoms. Although i stay private that doesn't mean you know nothing"

"Can i have your real name then?"

"I can't give you it but i can tell you it" he mocked lightly

I was done with his teasing already, "Can't you TELL me then" I huff

"No"

"What? I can't even get the name of my husband to be?" I was furious. Was this his new way of humiliating me again? I won't take it. I stood before his to give a glare.

"Don't be so angry dove" he pulled me forward into his lap, "I don't want to give you my name until we consummate our marriage, but if you are so eager no harm in the night before" he purred in my ear.

My cheeks burned as I shoved myself out of his grasp, "No we can wait"

He chuckled laying back on the bed, "we should sleep. It's a big day tomorrow and I know i need my beauty sleep" he motioned to his face

I crawled into bed from the opposite side laying down. Sleep over took me quickly.
