I'm so sorry for how short it turned out. I'll probably increase it or make the next chapter longer when next I update. Thanks for reading. Don't forget to vote 😉

He dropped his jacket on the bed, then led me to the kitchen. He cooked? Since when did he start cooking? Since when was Kerran anything like this?

"What would you like to eat?" He asked turning to face me. I shrugged carelessly. If he wanted to cook, he could. I hated cooking and I wasn't going to if I didn't have to.

But because he wanted to cook didn't mean I'd take full advantage of that fact. He nodded and turned his back to me, pulling pots and ingredients out, rinsing out the pots and washing off the vegetables.

I didn't bother to ask what he was making. If he wanted to tell me, he would. If I didn't figure it out before he did that is.

"Answers, Kerran. Answers. I need to know why you just upped and left without even telling anyone. What gave you the idea that you could do that?!" I asked incredulously.

"I didn't leave by choice ok? I didn't! And I didn't want you getting involved. I just wanted you safe. The further I stayed from you...the harder it was for anyone to have found a relationship between you and me."

"Well, you're here now, so you might as well let me know your reasons..." I wasn't being mean, I was justified for my reaction.

"You remember how when my parents were alive, everyone loved our family?"

"Of course I remember! I was practically part of that family. My sister and I were."

" I know, love. But then, the moment my father died, everyone was suddenly so eager to kill me, I didn't really know how you didn't notice. Menacing glares. A few incidents in the streets, alleys. I just couldn't anymore. I knew they wanted me to hightail it out of here. So I did. I don't regret it. They wanted nothing to do with my family. You were my only family left. I had to dissociate us. I just couldn't lose you too."

"Ok, you were trying to protect me, I get that. Not that I believe you or forgive you, but I get it. So explain to me why you suddenly show up with someone, who I just happened to find out is the Queen's twin sister, and is most probably about to kill my Queen." I glare.

"Yeah...about that..." He scratched the back of his neck nervously, not able to hold my stare. If the next words that came out his mouth were rubbish, I was so taking him down. Most powerful creature or not.
