Arabella’s point of view.
I reached for the remote control and turned off the tv, then threw my head back and let out a very long, frustrated groan.
It’s been a while since Wymond brought me back to our room, let’s say about an hour ago and I’ve been watching some interesting tv shows since then, but they soon became boring and that’s why I turned it off.
There’s a knock on the door, I could tell it’s Cora knocking from her scent emitting from the door, I sighed and let her in.
“Your highness, princess Renee wants you in the ballroom” she said.
“Princess Renee?” I asked as if I didn’t hear her the first time.
“Yes, she said your waltz teacher has arrived”
I released another loud groan and sprang up the chair, then headed towards our bed. I quickly laid down, got under the blanket and started shaking -feigning being cold.
“What are you doing, my queen?” Cora asked.
“I’m sick” she furrowed her brows. “Tell her I can’t rehearse today because I’m very sick” I told her.
“Er…”
“It’s contagious, go on” I urged her, she nodded and quickly left.
I quickly kicked the blanket off the minute she stepped out, I spread my arms and legs on the bed, then imagined myself laying on fallen snows.
Then it crossed my mind that it’s been days since I heard from my family, we haven’t contacted each other since the lockdown -that’s four days to be precised.
I closed my eyes and tried mind-linking mom, but I couldn’t get through which means she’s busy at the infirmary.
Then I tried mind-linking Arthur, but still couldn’t get through. I frowned as I tried to figure out what’s going on and why I couldn’t reach them through our mind-link -maybe I should give Arthur a video call.
I reached for my phone and dialed Arthur’s number, he picked up after a few rings.
“Hi, sis” he answered as his face popped up.
“Hm” I hummed. “Whatcha doin’?” I asked when I heard music and saw some of his friends dancing in the background.
He frowned slightly and shook his head sideways.
“Nothing” he said.
“Then what’s that all about?”
He turned and glanced at his friends, then grinned.
“We’re celebrating Hank, he turned eighteen yesterday and found his mate too” he answered.
“Oh, congratulations to him” I said.
He nodded and walked away from the music, I guess he went out.
“How are you and mom doing these days?” I asked.
“Mom’s great, but I’m not” he said.
“You’re not? What’s wrong?”
He inhaled deeply and exhaled dramatically loud.
“I miss all the pretty ladies at school” my brows furrowed. “There are no big @sses to drool over, I miss those pretty ladies shoving their big tits in my face and…”
“I see you’re doing well” I cut him off. “Send my greetings to mom” then I hang up.
I threw my phone on the bed and shuddered in disgust, geez, I don’t know the sin I committed that I’m punished with a brother like Arthur.
Hold on… Daphne!
I forgot to call Daphne as I had promised her, she’s so gonna scream off my ear and shove it in my mouth.
I quickly reached for my phone and dialed her number, as I walked towards a sofa in the sitting area, but she didn’t pick up.
I tried again, she still didn’t pick up and I decided to mind-link her, but a message suddenly popped up before I could mind-link her.
*I just found my mate, I’ll call you back later*
My mouth fell open and I couldn’t help but released a very loud scream, a kind of scream that would pull off the roof and chase every evil spirit away.
The door burst open in a few seconds and Wymond stormed in, his eyes searched everywhere frantically until they landed on me -fear was very obvious in his eyes.
“Baby, are you ok?” he asked with a frown as he took long strode towards me.
I randomly threw my phone on another sofa and jumped on Wymond, he was very fast else I would have fallen face flat and hurt myself.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and subconsciously snifffled, I felt something wet rolling down my cheeks, that’s when I realized I was actually crying -are these tears of joy?
“What’s going on?” he asked again.
“It’s Daphne” I muttered.
“What’s wrong with her?”
“SHE’S FOUND HER MATE!!” I shouted in his ear and threw my hands up in the air as I giggled loudly.
Wymond frowned at my words.
“Wait, was that why you screamed?” he asked.
“Yeah” I nodded.
“So, you weren’t hurt?”
I shook my head.
“And that’s why you’re crying too?” he asked again.
“I wasn’t crying, these are tears of joy” she answered.
He stared at me for a moment, then clenched his jaw, inhaled deeply and puffed out some air.
“Fuçk?” he breathe out quietly.
Feeling drunk in happiness, I held his face in my palms and started kissing him all over.
“My best friend’s found her mate, my best friend’s found her mate” I chanted with each kiss.
Edward cleared his throat as if he’s trying to let us know he’s here too, I guess he’s letting me know since he came in with Wymond.
“Edward, you’re in charge today, Wymond’s keeping company for the rest of the day” I told him.
“What?” Wymond protested.
I started touching his tensed muscles.
“Just look how tensed you are, you’ve been working too hard these past few days and you deserve you good rest” I turned to Edward. “Don’t you agree?” I asked.
“Er….” he trailed off as he looked between Wymond and I.
He doesn’t wanna say anything because he can’t take sides right now, he’d offend his King if he takes side with me and he’d offend his Queen if he takes side with Wymond -he’s in a tight spot at the moment.
I turned back to Wymond.
“Fine, just take thirty minutes break” I told him.
“Baby…” I placed a finger on his lips.
“Don’t argue with me on this, you’re gonna work yourself out and won’t have enough strength to fight Oak later” I paused and massaged his shoulders. “Just thirty minutes break, pleaseeeee”
He stared at me for a moment, then sighed and nodded his head.
“What should I be doing in those thirty minutes? Sleeping?” he asked.
I shook my head.
“I’ve got a very great idea”
He raised his brows questioningly, but I gestured at Edward who’s still in the room.
“We can’t do it while he’s here” I said.
He quickly turned faced Edward.
“You can go to the barrack and help the boys train until my break is over”
“Yes, your Majesty” Edward bowed and left immediately.
Then Wymond turned back to me.
“So….”
I smirked and nodded towards the bed.
“Let’s go” I said.
