--The Nydisian Kingdom, The Castle, The King's Quarters--
Alexander had been in the royal court along with Lucian since he arrived, preventing him from doing the one thing on his mind.
He pushed open the door to his bedroom and his eyes fell on the blonde vampire that laid fast asleep in the king-sized bed.
Alexander's movements were silent and soft as he walked further into the room and eased into the bed to hold his mate.
Her sleeveless nightgown left the most sensitive parts of her arms exposed. Alexander frowned upon seeing this as he slowly pulled her body into his embrace.
This action stirred the vampire awake as she snuggled further into his chest and wrapped her thin fingers around the edge of his collar.
"Do you feel unwell?" Alexander had never seen her asleep for so long, if anything she barely slept. According to Killian, this was how she had been since the start of the week.
