Why did I just say that?I just confessed my love for Adam!

His eyes widened and to my horror he pulled away from me.How could I have been so stupid, I knew he had cared for me but that didn't mean he loved me also.His gaze was fixed at the ground and his lips held in a thin line.

"I'm sorry, I —"I began apologising .

"Krysta!"a familiar voice said cutting me off.

I turned to see whom had spoken my name, at the door of the cottage stood Lorna sobbing and smiling at the same time, we both ran to each other as she wrapped her arms around me.

There were tears threatening to fall from her eyes, causing them to glitter from the fire's light."You're safe, thank God you're safe."she whispered holding me tightly.

"I was so scared Lorna, I missed you guys so much."I cried, she wiped my tears with her hands shaking her head.

"No need to cry now Krysta, you're safe now."she assured me.

Her eyes searched the room and stopped at something behind me.

"What is he doing here?Was he behind all this?We're going to throw him in th—"she hissed glaring at Adam.

"Lorna nooo, you're absolutely mistaken, he had no path to play in all of this, he saved my life, I will forever be grateful to him."I explained pleading with her not to take any rash decisions.

A look of surprise crossed her face as she looked between Adam and I .

"He saved you?"she asked in shock.

"Yes he did Lorna, he even risked his life for me."I blurted out.

I watched as different emotions skittered across her face.She looked a bit taken aback by my words, it was hard to tell what she was thinking off, whether she believed me or not.

"Where is Kyle?"she questioned, worry flickering across her face.

"He is unconscious on the ground outside."I informed her.

However by the look on her face, I could tell something was wrong.

"There is no one outside."she replied looking on guard.

"He isn't there?"I gasped .That meant he was still alive and I was positive he would attack again, what if this time he succeeded in his plans?It was obvious he wanted Adam dead, what if I couldn't help him the next time?

The thought of that made me feel sick in my stomach.

"Are you okay?You look pale, we should get you home."she muttered, sounding worried, wrapping an arm around me.

"What about Adam?"I asked stopping her from taking any step forward.

"What about him?"she asked confused.

"He was hurt trying to save me Lorna, Kyle wants him dead, it isn't safe for him to return home by himself."

"I can take care of myself Krysta."Adam almost snapped, why was he so angry?

Was it because I told him I loved him?My heart ached at that.He didn't love me, he never will.

"Adam please listen to me."I begged, I couldn't live with myself if I knew something had happened to him.

His eyes softened at my tone and he looked away, turning his back to me.

"Leon ?"Lorna called.

Prince Leon was here?I should of guessed that, he was always with Lorna in times of trouble, it made me wonder, were they in love?That wouldn't explain why he was kissing some other girl the last time we saw him though.

"What's wrong?Is everything okay?"he asked barging in the room.

His body relaxed at seeing us in one piece and a look of confusion was clear on his face as he looked at Adam behind us.

"Would you take the carriage and travel with Adam to King Richard's castle, it appears as though he has been injured and Kyle also wants him killed, it will be safer if both of you leave together."she ordered him, I always found myself asking whether he was a prince for she was always the one in charge.

He nodded his head."But what about both of you?"

"We will be fine, Krysta can teleport us back."she explained.

He nodded his head again and we all waited for Adam to agree.He could be so damn stubborn at times.

"You ready?"Leon asked looking at Adam.

Adam looked back at me, as if memorising every inch of my body before he finally turned to Leon, nodding his head in agreement.

"Let's go."

Before he could leave however I ran to him and grabbed onto his shoulder."Promise me you would take care of yourself."I begged.I couldn't control the fear of loosing him that was causing my heart to race faster than it ever did before.

He stared into my eyes for a second, It looked like he was about to say something but changed his mind and just nodded instead.

Pulling away from me he walked towards Leon and they both left.

"You ready?"I asked Lorna as she held on to my hands.

She nodded her head and I closed my eyes concentrating on King Charm's castle.It only took a second before we were back home.

As soon as we stepped inside we were greeted by all the servants and guards, they all seemed happy to see me alive .I never knew they had cared for me before, I didn't even do anything to protect them and they still adored me.The thought alone made me smile despite my aching heart.

"Krysta!"the queen exclaimed running to hug me.The king wasn't far behind her either.

"Please forgive me, I'm so sorry, we should of listened to you, I was just so happy about finally finding my son that I didn't even think about how foolish I was acting, Kyle didn't even shared a resemblance to my Adam , I'm so sorry."she apologised, over and over.

"Its okay, I totally understand why you acted that way, you don't need to apologise."I replied hoping that would calm her down.I really didn't need an apology from her, any mother would act the way she acted, it was completely understandable.

"Krysta needs her rest."Lorna called behind us and the king and queen nodded in agreement.

Come to think of it, I truly was exhausted and hungry.

...............................................................

"You don't have to stay with me you know."I said for the fifth time tonight.

Lorna had insisted that she must spend the night with me, that it wasn't safe for me to sleep alone.She was acting overprotective again!Then again who could blame her.

"Would you close your eyes and get some sleep."she complained nudging my shoulder.

"Lorna?"

"Yes Krysta."she replied in a sleepy voice.

"Is it possible that king Richard had another son?"I inquired thinking about Kyle's resemblance to Dylan.

"No, queen Claudia gave birth to twins the same day your soulmate was born, and that is Dylan and Adam, she couldn't have had any other children for she died that same day."

"She died?How did she die?"No wonder I never saw King Richard with a woman, his wife was dead.

"No one is completely sure about what happened but all I know is that King Richard had blamed King Charm for her death.It has caused a rivalry between them since that day to present."

Was that the reason causing both of them to hate each other that much?Did King Charm by chance blame King Richard for the disappearance of his son?

What was the reason behind all this hatred?

"Lorna?"I asked again but this time I didn't get a reply.

Sigh, she had fallen asleep.

It must have been hard for Adam growing up without a mother's affection, I didn't want to think about parents at this moment, I missed mines alot but it was best that I stayed away from them, I was beginning to realise that the title I had recently claimed was going to give people a reason to hurt those close to me.

Images of Adam flashed in my head, the way he smiled, his captivating green eyes, that angel like blond hair .I couldn't get him out of my mind , neither could I escape from the fact that I loved him .I could safely say I loved him more than I had ever loved anyone in my entire life but he didn't return my feelings.

He didn't love me.I still recall how he had pulled away from me the instant I had mentioned I loved him.

I let out a frustrated groan, I wanted to sleep but I couldn't stop thinking about him.

Maybe it just wasn't meant to be, maybe when my true soulmate came I would forget about my love for him.

Sigh, who was I kidding, I could never stop loving him, it didn't matter if he loved me or not, I loved him.

I love Adam, Prince of bad vampires.

That was the last thought in my mind before I drifted off to sleep.
