Rose's POV
The very next day after Jess, Xavier and Harry left to Italy, we decided to go back to the kingdom too, thinking three years of training was enough for the both of us. Some of you guys might wonder where the warriors we took along with us are. I've sent him back to the castle after I've met Jessica and her mentors.
Cause hell nah, the training they gave alone was enough to throw up muscles, I didn't need more of them to guide us through the training.
We've been walking through the forest for almost half an hour now and I guess we are getting closer to the kingdom. I just have this gut feeling, telling me we are very close.
And in less than ten minutes, we reached the gate of the castle and the guards gladly let us in upon seeing Tyler. Well, they seemed more fearful when they laid their eyes on me but I guess it's almost impossible when they don't even know my true identity.
I had my hood down to avoid people's eyes. Tyler guided me to the main palace where our parents were supposed to be living. After asking around, we came upon my mom and Jade in the kitchen, covered in flour, baking cookies.
We caught their attention by Tyler clearing his throat and even before I could blink, both of us were tackled to the ground. Thankfully, the person who tackled me to the ground was sensible enough to protect my head.
"You guys are back! Why didn't you tell us beforehand? Oh my god! You guys are so skinny but full of muscles. Jade, look at her, she's got six packs." "Wow, look at my son! He's got such a strong-" Both of them felt each and every corner of our body and we lay there, helpless and on the verge of snapping at them as they shouted on top of their lungs.
"OMG! YOU GUYS ARE HERE!" Both of us let out a grunt and groaned in annoyance when we heard two men approaching us with quick steps.
Ump!
Now, we were under our parents, barely breathing and I got annoyed at how they were feeling all over my body. It was mainly my mom touching me but I felt vulnerable and abused or something.
"GUYS! Fucking get off me!" That got their attention as two gentlemen helped their wives up and let their children get up on their own.
"You guys would have notified us that you are coming back. This is so unexpected." "It is indeed." They started bombarding us with questions that I couldn't get the chance to respond to.
"Mom, dad, we are pretty exhausted. Can we perhaps talk about it later during dinner or something?" I looked at Tyler and he looked totally fine. Well, I was a bit exhausted but not to the extent of getting a nap. After all, we've gone through worse during the training.
"Yeah, of course. take some rest. We can always talk about it later. Feel free to tell us anything if you need help." "Will do." Tyler replied, took my luggage and started walking towards my room. I didn't protest even though I won't have had any problem carrying it on my own.
I mean, he was willing to carry it for me without charging me so who am I to complain?
"So, what's your plan for the future?" Tyler broke the silence and I looked up at him.
"Well, now that I am back, I think it's time I made some amends in the kingdom as the ruler. And in order to do that, I believe coronation comes first, doesn't it?" Tyler nodded his head and I asked him what he had in his mind for his future.
"Since I am not the true heir, I will have to step down but that doesn't mean I will stop caring for the werewolves and give up the responsibilities and passion I have in store for them. I will continue to look after them by your side." "Aw, thank you, love. That's so sweet. I appreciate it." "Only for you." He winked and I chuckled at his cheekiness.
"We are here!" I exclaimed as I stood infront of my room and Tyler stood there, unmoving. He had his gaze fixed on me and his firm grip on my suitcase told me that he was reluctant to leave and wanted to follow me inside. I found his reluctance so cute that I stood on my tiptoes and pecked him on his cheek.
"Really? On the cheek?" I let out a laugh at how desperate and disappointed he sounded.
"Now give me back my suitcase. I will see ya later. Get some sleep." I winked at him after snatching my suitcase and shutting the door.
I heard his sigh and dragging his feet a good few seconds after I got into my room and I grinned like a teenager in love. Whenever I used to read books, I found all those cheeky and romance scenes pretty cringy. Damn, the irony that I get to experience what it feels like to be in one.
After updating Jess about my arrival, I've connected my phone with the WIFI, logged into the Wattpad to see what I've missed.
Dang, have I missed a fucking lot! I scrolled and went adding books to my offline library because I've been craving to read Watty for three damn years!
I didn't realize that hours had passed by me checking out the books until someone knocked on my door to summon me down for dinner.
By the time I was down, everyone was sitting in their seats, already eating and I quickly got on the seat next to Tyler after muttering quick apologies for being late.
"I missed homemade food!" I exclaimed as I started digging in. The table was full of mouth-watering dishes and I took my time, filling my stomach with the delicacies
