Chapter 5 - The King 3

Max dropped me on the ground when we reached Amber and Li. Both of them are watching the gates expectantly. We are near the main entrance of the mansion and if his highness comes, he has to pass by us to get inside.

"You really did it" Li exclaimed and laughed out loud. Soon Max joined her as well. Amber gave an amused smile, while I on the other hand glared at them all.

"Yay," Max did a happy dance which made us all laugh at his antiques.

Just then we heard the gates being opened and came 3 SUVs all black. I am standing between Amber and Max.

Max is acting like a child in the carnival. He idolizes his highness, More than anyone I recalled till now. He talks to his highness whenever the opportunity presents itself and then raves about it for ages.

All the people get down from their respective vehicles. I notice my father got down from the first vehicle and opens the back door.

And then He comes out. From my vantage point, I can only see his side profile.

His features are so prominent and outstanding. He is over 6'5 height. I am tall for a girl, but in front of him, my 5'8 seems to be tiny.

Amber, Li, and Max all of them are wolfs. I am the only human in our Little group.

He has black hair and his sunglasses hide his beautiful grey eyes.

Suddenly something flashes in my peripheral vision. When I turn my head, I notice a man heading towards His highness, with what seems to be a knife. It's a silver knife. With the aggressive look on his face, his intentions don't seem to be Noble. There's anger and hatred in his gaze and it is directed towards His highness. If he succeeded in his intentions, it might hurt his highness badly. It might not kill him though.

Without thinking about what I am doing I run towards his highness and shield his body with mine just seconds before the knife piercing into my stomach.

I can hear Max yelling my name. The last thing I see is the face of the man who managed to pull me towards him, without a single word or a glance.

Am I imagining it or is he really panicked? and then everything turns blank.

I woke up to the sound of beeping.

It's so annoying. My body hurts and I am sleepy. My head feels heavy.

And then I slip into my sleep.

The next time I wake up to the noise of Max and Li.

They are talking, no they seem to be arguing about something. Then I slip again.

The next time I wake up into this immense pull of something asking me to wake up and look at him. So I do and imagine my surprise when I wake up and stare at the grey eyes looking at me with concern.

What is he doing in here?

And then I slip again.
