"Father, I want you to understand that Kane would never hurt me."
"How can you be so sure?" The king asked.
Yes, he wondered the same thing he was far from feeling sure that he wouldn't hurt Abigail? If he didn't hurt her physically he could end up hurting her emotionally or vice versa and that would be a nightmare either way.
Especially when he could never get enough of her sweet scent. When he had, returned to his home yesterday evening after finding his horse he was exhausted but laying in his bed he was unable to sleep from the thoughts of his wants that filled his mind instead of his thoughts of needs like when he needed to sleep to recharge but couldn't.
So without really thinking he came to Abigail's chamber through her window to be sure to not get caught. Then he got into her bed and woke the peacefully sleeping, Abigail and, stayed with her for the evening but he must have been so exhausted that he slept through the sunrise.
"I can just feel it father I just know he won't?"
"Alright I'll take your word for it I can tell he has taken a liking of you." He didn't know if that too, be true or not he wanted to be near her and kiss any available skin on her body but he yet needed to learn what love truly was. The king sees it as love but he thought of it as lust? "But if he ever tries to take an advantage of you in any way come to me immediately I'll take care of him?" The king told.
He leaned a little forward to see Abigail sitting in front of the vanity she had noticed him and he smiled at her. He wished the king would disappear from this chamber so that he may have Abigail to himself for just a little longer.
"Father, I'd like to get ready may you call in that maid who left earlier on your way out?"
"Yes, my dear daughter. Will I be seeing you in the dining hall later?"
"Of course father."
Kane listened for the king's footsteps before stepping out. When he could hear him walk down the hall in a distance. He took a deep breath and stepped out taking Abigail into his embrace her odd scent filled his lungs as he took it in. You will be mine Abigail and only mine to have. He thought to himself as he nuzzled his nose into her neck.
"Kane?" She let out a giggle. "We were only separated for a few minutes and I'm still wearing my nightclothes I don't feel comfortable dressed like this in front of you?"
Ignoring her he held her tighter without a care in the world. She was going to be his so why couldn't he hold her while she wore her nightclothes? He kissed her neck hard enough to possibly leave a mark. She tried to push and wiggle away from him but wouldn't say the word.
He took a hold of one of her legs and pulled it up to his hip taking her mouth into his. When she relaxed in his arms he took her to the bed and sat down on the edge of the mattress while she sat on his lap.
Separating their mouths her breathing was heavy and their hearts were racing but he didn't want to stop until he had kissed every available and bare skin on her body. He kissed her bare shoulder and put his arms around her waist.
He needed to control himself and think things through. If he wanted to see Abigail without sneaking into the castle and risking getting caught he needed to go on a hunt for a few days to weeks and find a werewolf heart. Or he could go the easy way and kill a bear but if he did that then in a few weeks his beast could possibly kill another human and that would only get the king to ask him to kill another but a fake beast.
Someone suddenly came into Abigail's chamber he hadn't been listening for any signs of movement but luckily it was the maidservant who he already warned about him being in the castle.
A gasp left the maid's lips. "My lady, forgive me for intruding I should have knocked first!"
"Yes, you should have." He told. Abigail pushed away from him and hurried to her feet looking embarrassed he couldn't help but frown. Everything was new to her he understood that but if she really loved him yet why wasn't she comfortable with him while in front of other people?
Was she embarrassed to be with him? Did she not want others to see the beast with her kissing, on, her? He suddenly felt indignation. Wanting to leave the castle out of others' sight, he stood up quickly feeling quite dizzy, everything around him spun. Abigail's scream filled his ears and before he knew it everything became faint and dark.
He found himself at the edge of a cliff with a vampire and Abigail in his possession pinning him trying, to make him fall back. Threatening words spit from his lips but he didn't pay any attention to the vampire he was only concerned for Abigail's safety.
The vampire was a young fool to think it would be okay to mess with an older and more powerful werewolf. That was if he was alone he would be the one in trouble if there were more of them.
He stepped back a step on the cliff and Abigail screamed. "No, no! stop Kane, please you'll fall?!" She cried out.
He needed to do something he needed to get Abigail from the hands of the enemy before she could be killed.
"Kane my love come to me help me!"
The vampire loudly laughed in the most, evilest way possible. "You really think that thing loves you back? That thing is a monster who will kill you and anyone in its path?"
Kane felt his blood boil it was clear the enemy knew nothing of him. He had known Abigail since she was sixteen but the day he had truly fallen in love with her was a day to never be forgotten for she had saved his life that day.
"He is not a thing or it, he is my husband and to be a father! You're the only monster here?!" He eyed the vampire who held his happiness with full fury burning in them. Was he really going to be a father was his baby really in the womb of his lover? Or was it a lie so that he may let her go?
But nothing mattered more than to have her by his side any other way if to be true or not. He would kill anyone who dared to touch Abigail. His eyes darkened and the beast part of him showed his growls echoed through the forest he could feel his strength buildup.
As the vampire was occupied with laughter from the sudden announcement he took the chance to attack. But when he got close the vampire moved quickly out of his grasp.
"Don't do that I'll kill her and the child?"
"Give her to me!" He growled in demand and without giving up he went for a stronger attack from behind.
Falling to his knees a scream came from Abigail. "No! No, Don't drop her! I beg of you, please!" He was horrified to see her being hung over the cliff.
"Kane?"
"Please I beg you she is not only my wife and mother of my child but my life my reason to keep moving forward?" He couldn't lose her he wasn't ready for the day to come. But his words only seemed to amuse the vampire even more.
"What would happen if I just..." The vampire loosened his hold onto, her leaving a scream of terror, escape, her body.
"No! No?!"
"Kane!" Abigail hollered but he couldn't see any movement of her lips? "Kane? I am here Kane please come to me?" She told him but he didn't understand why or how without moving her lips. Something was off but he did as he was told.
He stood up straight on his feet and stepped forward. A smile spread across the vampire's face. "Come closer she dies?"
He knew the risks he was taking but if she falls he would fall with her for there was no point in living if he wouldn't have her.
He took one step and watched his love fall out of the hands of the enemy. "Abigail no?!" He sprinted towards the cliff he pushed the vampire out of the way he jumped taking Abigail into his embrace tears streamed down her cheeks as she screamed. "I'm sorry Abigail?"
"Kane!"
Kane shot his eyes open his breathing was unsteady and his heart raced. He looked around in the room he lay in until his eye met hers.
"Abigail?" He said breathlessly.
"Kane? You are okay it was only a dream here is a cup of water drink it?"
He took a sip of the water and then rested his head on her shoulder. "What has happened why am I here?" He asked.
"You fainted and been asleep for three days I was very worried something bad had happened to you. But I had my maid call for a physician and he told me it was from exhaustion and you needed plenty of rest?"
"I've been unconscious for three days?"
"Yes, and Father knows you are here I insisted to stay with you until you awakened."
Her father found out and gave into, her request to stay with him? "I should go I do not want to worry you with more of my troubles?" He flipped the covers off him and began to stand when Abigail pressed his shoulders down for him to not leave.
"No, you should rest seeing you walk away would worry me more than to watch you sleep?" She told laying him down on his back and, recovered, him with the sheets.
"Abigail? I mean my lady!" He quickly added. "I shouldn't be here his majesty had told us to pretty much be apart until I give him the heart of a werewolf?" Though he yet felt pretty exhausted it would be best for him to go back to his own home. His horse hadn't eaten or gotten freshwater?
"I don't care what father says you are staying?" She put him in a hug then he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead. How could he turn down a princess? That one and only princess that lays against him?
"What about my horse she is alone?"
"She is in the royal stables being cared for under my orders don't worry." She smiled looking into his eyes.
"Wasn't I clear enough for you to understand to do no such things with my daughter?" An angry voice spoke from the entrance.
"Father please it wasn't his fault I was the one who made the first move?"
The king strode across the chambers with a fierce expression on his face. And grabbing Abigail by the arm he pulled her away from him causing her to stumble to the floor with a groan. He tried to hold himself back from hurting the king but when he held his shirt an obvious growl escaped his throat.
And before the king could have a single word leave, his tongue He quickly switched on him and held the king's shoulders to the mattress in a tight grip. "Your majesty you dare hurt my lady like that again I swear to you you'll never walk the same... AGAIN!" He roared his eyes flashed and his body head to toe burned like hot flames.
He felt so weak he could hardly think as his body trembled.
The king pushed him to the floor. His breathing quickened and could hardly breathe the pain was worse than the beast? He took a hold of Abigail's dress and tugged slightly.
"Kane? Father what have you done!" She shouted in fear taking him into her arms. "You're unwell you need medical attention, stay with me Kane do not close your eyes okay?" She told. He could hear the sound of her cry echo through his ears.
The sound of multiple footsteps came into the chamber. He knew the king had spoken but couldn't make out the words though he could hear Abigail's screams as he was dragged across the floor.
"No! No!" Abigail repeated.
He caught a glimpse of her tear-filled face being held back by two guards and her father standing to the side. This was it, this was the end of his life he was going to be punished for his sins and die not knowing what was going to happen to Abigail?
"No Abigail!" He roared struggling to get free. Whatever he had to do to stay alive he would do it for Abigail he'll return to her in one piece.
