Lila finally snapped out of her dream and found Darius calling out to her with a gentle gaze. When he gazed at her she burst into tears. Darius tried to hug her nightmare away. He knew that expression well. It was pain. The pain hidden so much that when exposed one would become vulnerable...
...
He had left her side for two hours but he was worried about her, he left no one to take care of he so he came to check up on her and this was the scene he saw when he came in. She was in a nightmare and her face was scrunched up in pain.
...
After some minutes of crying she finally regained her senses and awkwardly left hos grasp.
"Thank you."
Her face was red from embarrassment her eyes watery and her expression vulnerable... Just this sight of her made his heart race
"What was ot about??" Darius said and tried to forget the fact that hos heart just skipped a beat for her
,"its nothing just my child hood memories torturing me.."
"Has it always been like this??*
"Mm. Each time he tries something new.."
He clenched his fists and taught angrily
'jullius Bellwether your ending is near'
..
After feeding her and coaxing her to sleep he went out. As soon as he left, Paul appeared by his side to inform him about the meeting with the vampire council
...
The meeting was about to be called off when an official asked
"Your highness when are we getting a queen?"
The others agreed to this question as well.
