My Little Flower

Sleeping Beauty

(Beast aka Knight)

Wild had passed out as soon as we made it to the capital. With everyone fussing, I tried my best to not draw attention to myself. Mavis might be okay with me here but I know Rico will want to kill me to keep her away from me. I won't let them take her from me, I have waited far to long to have her back. Rico should be happy I didn't take her when I first saved her. It would of been easy, no one knew where she was at the time. If it hadn't been for Jace dying I would of never took her back. I know that they have always had a bond. Jace acted like he was more of a father to her. I know I was to weak to care for her then. After waking up I used all the strength I could muster to get her out of there. I couldn't even help her heal completely, there had been so many wounds on her tiny body. All I want is for her to open those bright golden eyes. I kept hearing from those around the pack house that she looks like Leah but that's not true. Leah couldn't even compare to the beautiful creature lying on the bed. Angelica's eyes are had more of a pale yellow with hazel while Leah's eyes where golden they didn't compare to Wild's eyes. Wild's eyes are a mix of gold, silver, and some hazel thrown in it. I wonder if she even noticed she has a glow about her. It's as if people were drawn to her without even trying. I've noticed the mark on her neck the night I showed up. Though looking at her neck now you would never of known that she had been forced marked. The mark had disappeared by the next morning. I had felt something was wrong early in the morning, it had been around two in the morning when I experienced a excruciating pain. It felt like someone had stabbed me in the neck then twisted the knife. I knew it wasn't my pain that I was feeling, it was hers. I have tried hard to stay away from her knowing that a part of myself needs to remember who she is before I lose control. All I wanted was to stay by her side for now that's all I need. If only she would wake up, it had been a week as of today since we came to the capital. Still though she slept never making a sound or shifting even the slightest bit. It was around seven in the morning I could tell by the morning light getting brighter coming from the window. Holding her hand, just staring at her, I am seated on the right of her bed so I can see who ever comes in. The man in me is confused, I don't blame him. He hasn't heard from me since he chose to mate with that woman. Now I still can't talk to him about how important this sleeping beauty is to both of us. I have to wait, good thing I'm a patient hunter.

"She is very beautiful isn't she?" A voice says in front of me. My eyes snap to the other side of Wild's bed to see the woman I hated the most.

"What are you doing here, Leah?" I growl out, this had grabbed Kyle's attention. He was now trying to grab for control but I wouldn't let him. I won't let him have control while she is so close to Wild.

She gives me a sad smile, "She has already punished me and yet you still hold such hatred towards me."

"What you did, you should of had much worse." Kyle had stopped fighting me when Leah spoke. I noticed that he was paying attention to what we were saying. Wondering what we are talking about.

Sighing looking back at the woman who never feared me, lying in her bed. "She believes one should make the mistake before being punished for it. If it was my way you wouldn't of made it to adult hood."

"Yet she still let me make the choice I wanted. I thought that I needed you around so I could be stronger, I never really thought of the consequences. Not till that day when I realized I gave myself to him to do with as he saw fit. Even then my pride stood in the way, I will not be given another life due to my actions. I would probably still be his puppet if he didn't try to go after my sister. Once I realized I could be disposed of at any moment. That's when I tried to fix my mistakes. She could of torn my soul apart, yet she didn't, I will never really understand. Everything I did in life was for selfish reasons, so why did she give me the task of watching over her? I could do nothing but watch as she grew up, all of the pain she felt I felt, the love she feels. I get to experience it all but I can't interact. She had granted my wish. I wanted to know what real power felt like. To know what it's like to have all of the power in the world. She gave it to me, but it's different from what I thought. I had been foolish to think that with more power comes easy living. Her life hasn't been so kind and knowing what I know now I don't think I deserve her kindness at all. For what she did was far to forgiving in my opinion for what I did to her, to the both of you. I would prefer it if you would not forgive me for I don't believe I deserve it. I just want to let you know that I really did love Kyle, even though I used under handed means to get him. I did love him in the end. Take care of her, she is a treasure this world has given us."

She disappeared as soon as she was done talking. The bedroom door swings open and there stood the man I had wished to avoid.

Growling comes out of the bulky man at the door. "Get away from my granddaughter. Get out of my home. How dare you come to my home, how dare you come here after what you did!" He had started getting louder by the end an enraged look on the man's face.

"Rico. You don't get to tell me what I have to do with my mate." I growled out.

Rico starts fake laughing, "That's funny because the last I heard was the woman you chose as your mate, is dead. That there is my granddaughter not your mate." He steps into the room with some of his guards following behind him.

With the threat hanging in the air I try to remain calm. I wonder if Wild would be upset with me if I hurt her grandfather. So I covered her with my body, partly to calm me, mostly to make sure they weren't going to snatch her from me.

Just the idea of them touching her was putting me on edge. The fact that the guards are not related to her was pissing me off more for the fact that their in her room. I was at this point growling uncontrollably as I yelled out, "No one is touching her! I'll kill anyone who tries to take her from me!"
