"What is it, Angel?" Maximus asked.
Adira felt like everything was a dream. Was it the reason why she couldn't find her mate? She was confused. But if she says Zaros was her some people might use that as her advantage and makes her life miserable. But she doesn't trust anyone as much as she trusted her brother.
"Brother," she ran into his arms and buried herself in his hug.
Adira shivered in his hug. Maximus knew something was wrong with her. Whenever she have troubles she would come to him and hug him. If the trouble was big she would shiver. He wondered what kind of problem she was having. Or was she not able to process this marriage thing? Did Zaros do something to his princess? Many scenarios ran in his mind. But he couldn't conclude one.
"Did something happen?" he asked.
"Brother," she called out. He made her sit on a chair and handed her a glass of water.
"What is it?" he asked ever so gently.
"I found my mate," She replied, making him go still.
Maximus was stunned at her words. He couldn't digest the fact that she found her mate. Of all the times… why now? The pact… lives… the future of two races they would be at risk. Was he ready to face the risk? No!
"You have met with all the males in our race but you didn't find your mate back then. Now… there are no new males in our race yet. Who is he? Did he try to hide his scent or himself?" Maximus asked.
Generally, marrying the princess becoming her mate would bring a lot of fortune but this guy hid his scent and himself very cleverly it means he either likes someone else or he must be good for nothing. Marrying a princess means he ought to get a few duties, her mate might have felt that he couldn't fulfill them.
"Brother, he is the Vampire King," Adira said as she dropped a bomb on his head.
Maximus was confused about what was happening. He couldn't comprehend the things. Their mates were Vampires and that too brother and sister. This was kind of suspicious. But he couldn't deny the sacred bond created by the moon goddess.
Maybe Moon Goddess knew everything and was sorting this for them. Apart from this Maximus couldn't draw any conclusion.
"Maybe Moon Goddess knew this is bound to happen and bound you together. Don't think much about it. Rest well. We have things to do tomorrow," he said.
Adira nodded and left. She found her brother's words to be reasonable. With a relieved heart she went to her room. With the help of her maids, she removed her heavy layers and only wore the sleeping gown. She felt like she was flying in the air. After all, removing the corset made her lungs breathe freely and all the stupid layers were making her body exhausted.
She loves mornings and afternoons because she can be in her single-layer clothing and snuggle in her bed. After admiring the only single layer of clothing on her body, she slept.
