Melchoir lead her into a room next to his. The room was very large and fancy.
"Another room?" She asked.
"Yes, you'll be staying here till we get married when you'll move into my room with me." He replied.
"Okay." Kira nodded and she looked around the room. It was also decorated with gold like her first room but the only difference was that this one was unbelievably large. The queen sized bed stood majestically. "Thank you."
"For what?" He asked.
"For this, for everything." She replied.
Suddenly he pulled her close with their bodies glued to each other.
"It's my responsibility to take care of you." He crashed his lips against hers and she responded immediately as if she has been waiting for it.
He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and lifted her up slightly letting her be tall enough to reach him.
"Melchoir...." She moaned as his tongue skilfully roamed her mouth.
He started kissing her jaw down to her exposed collarbone and to her cleavage.
"Melchoir wait...." She gasped but he didn't wait
Melchoir started pulling out the lace fastening her dress and she tired to hold his hands but she couldn't. He suddenly pulled down her dress and exposed her breasts. He looked at her with lust in his eyes and he harshly grabbed her breasts making her welp in pain.
For the first time in like forever, Kira's eyes were filled with tears.
"Melchoir." She sobbed and as if jerking out of a spell he looked suprised.
"What's wrong? What happened? Did I hurt....." His voice trailed off as he saw her exposed breast but that wasn't what caught his attention, it was the mark on them. They were red and fingers were imprinted on them. "Melva."
Melchoir fell on his knees and held her hands after pulling her dress to cover her up.
"I'm sorry Kirana, it wasn't me. I wasn't myself. Melva or my father were controlling me. Please forgive me Kirana." He whispered and all she just did was sob. "I'm sorry."
Kira wiped her tears and pulled him up before hugging him which made him stiff for a few seconds.
"I believe you Melchoir." She sniffed. "I do."
"Thank you Kirana." He sighed relieved. "Get to bed, I'll have the maids prepare a bath for you. I need to deal with something. I'm sorry I won't be able to tuck you in."
Kira nodded and he placed her on the bed.
"Make sure you have a good rest." He kissed her forehead before disappearing.
Kira sighed and laid on her back.
"Melva." Melchoir growled as soon as he appeared in her room in Ralph's castle.
"It's so not nice to appear in a lady's room without permission." She frowned.
"What did you do?" He growled.
"Since you didn't allow me to meet her I'm trying every means possible for her to hat you. You know I don't hide things I just tell the truth even if it's bitter." She smirked.
"You know I'll die if she does." Melchoir frowned.
"Well.....I have nothing to say about that." Melva replied.
"Why do you want her to be punished?" He asked.
"Oh you really wanna know why? Why not wait and see. You know I love keeping you on the waiting list lil bro." She smirked.
"It was part of your acting calling me your big brother the other day when you're obviously older than I am."
"Can't say. It just slipped out." She removed her hairband and her curly bun fell down.
"Melva...."
"Just get out. If it's what you wanna know why don't you ask father why I called you big brother." She snarled. "I only called you that because I just said it. Leave me alone."
"I'm warning you Melva, try to meddle with Kira or I again and you'll see my other side." He threatened and a wicked laughter escaped Melva's lips.
"I want to see that other side." Melva snapped her fingers and he appeared in Kira's room.
She was asleep already and he walked to her bed looking at her peaceful face. She was finally here, his weakness.
He kissed her head before walking to his room. He then passed by the terrace where he picked Ralph's scent and.....Uma?
"So you like fighting? I also do but not that well." She smiled.
"Wow, that's nice. If you're interested I can teach you?" He smiled sweetly making Melchoir raise his brows.
"Sure." She squealed. "Phew, thank goodness I wasn't chosen as the king's bride. I can't just sit around attending to affairs."
"You don't want to be? Wow." Ralph nodded.
"Well, the best thing to me is having my best friend to be the queen. I hate competing with Kira, never. I prefer losing than her losing." Uma replied sincerely and Melchoir smiled.
Melchoir was still surprised Ralph didn't seem to sense him. It's so unlike Ralph to sit talk to women like this except Melva.
"I'll be going to bed. Thanks for your time. So when will you start training me?" She. asked.
"When do you want?" He asked.
"Tomorrow." She replied.
"No, you need to rest. How about the day after?" He asked.
"Sure, no problem. You're the boss." She smiled. "And oh, what happened to your face?"
"Oh, it's a story for another day." He sighed.
"Oh, okay. Goodnight." She turned but suddenly hugged him making him stiff.
Uma walked towards the door and she saw Melchoir and she suddenly bowed.
"Your Majesty." She curtsied.
"Good evening my lady." He bowed slightly and she walked away.
Melchoir slowly walked to Ralph.
"Tell me it's not what I'm thinking about." Melchoir raised his brows.
"What are you thinking about?" He frowned and Melchoir stepped closer taking a deep breath.
"Mate." Melchoir gasped.
"She's not my mate..." The word got stuck. "Fine, fine, she is and that what I'm trying to figure out."
"You know you can't lie to me." Melchoir rolled his eyes. " Since when did you feel the bond?"
"Since Achilles brought her here. I first thought Melva was around but that was when I noticed she wasn't that it was Uma." He sighed.
"You haven't met her before?" Melchoir asked.
"I met her once when they just arrived but Melva was behind me so I thought it was Melva too." He sighed.
"Well that's a complication. We need to see Pa James." Melchoir grabbed him and they appeared in Pa James basement where he sat reading. "Pa James we have a situation."
"What?" He asked and Melchoir told him all about that. "Now I've never heard of that, it's either Melva is not your true mate or you're cursed with two mates."
"Why? Why? Why does it always have to be a curse?" Ralph growled.
"I'll look into it but for now, calm down." Pa James said.
"Now that's a complication." Melchoir sighed.
The following morning, Kira woke up with Melchoir sitting beside her.
"Morning Pirate Queen." He kissed her forehead.
"Good morning." She smiled.
"Your mum and aunt will be here in a while. I had the maids make you a bath." He ran his fingers across her hair.
"Really? Okay." She smiled and hugged him before running to the bathroom.
