chapter 42
When i sat down in our room, I sat there looking at the book and the letters, i decided to look at the album first than i would read the letters, i was looking through it with tears in my eyes, my parents photos with them holding me and my baby brother, i looked up and notice that LeeAnn was heading to the door, i didn't want her to leave,
“Where are you going Lee,” she stopped midwalk her hand on the knob about to twist it to open the door. She turned to me, saying,
‘I thought you would want some space so you can look at the album and read the letters, I thought you would want that. that was the furthest from my mind,
“What i want and need is for you to be with me while we read these together. Lee, we are one person now, I mean, we have not mated each other, but we have marked each other. Therefore, come sit beside me and help me with these, please.” i think she was shocked when i said that to her, i was to just a little bit, but damn she is the ones that found these while she found the rooms, I sat there looking at the album again yet again with tears in my eyes, i shouldn't be crying, i'm a freaking king, kings don't cry, but i couldn't help the tears falling from my eyes to my face, i closed the album then i started reading the letters, the first one was from my father and mother, but my mother did the writing, i could tell that it was her hand writing, it was perfect how she always wrote,
Our dear sons,
Hoow i wish we could see you grow up to be the gentlemen that you are, of course we know if your reading these letters that we are no more, We both want you to know that we are so proud of the both of you, I want you to keep your head up and be strong for one another, just know we love you very much, stay strong my sons, and always remember we will always be there looking over you,
love
mom and dad,
the second one i read was from my father. He was a little short because we always knew dad never liked writing. He did when he had to, but i still loved reading them,
my dear sons,
i know i do not write much, but today i am writing you when there is a war that is about to happen, the rogue king wants this kingdom and i denied him of that, Now he is after me and my father, and i know no matter what i do now, i can not let anything happen to you, just know if anything happens to me, i will always love you my sons, and i will always be looking after you,
love dad,
these letters were so strange, i wasn't sure how old i was when he decided to write these letters, i don't remember much but the love and cared the showed us was everything, i sat the letter down, then i looked over at Lee, she was just finishing up a letter, she had worried in her eyes, i could see she didn't want me to read this letter but she handed it to me anyways, i was shocked when i read it i couldn't believe it, was this really true, but how did the bedrooms come about? hidden from the rest of the world until now, i had to read it again,
“My Dearest son,
I am hoping this lands in the right hands and not in the wrong hands, what i am about to tell you might either destroy you or bring you even closer, but please do not be angry with your father, he has no clue that i am writing this letter to you, i had to wait until he had left the castle before i could sit down and right to you, Xander, I want you to know that your father loved me very much, he would had done anything to keep me from getting killed or even take. By the rogue king, even do the very thing that i could feel and that is betrayal of their mate, yes your father cheated on me, hoping i would leave him so i could be saved, but i was stubborn i would not leave him, even after we learned that he had gotten that woman pregnant with his child, and that child is your brother, that very woman had died giving birth to him, and i promised her before she took her last breath that i would love that little boy like he was my very own and that's what i did, i loved that little boy like he was my own, i know it wasn't your fathers fault that the rogue king wanted war, it was the rogue king, do not hate your father or your brother Greg is still your brother and we still loved him as much as we love you.ove you. Your father thought he was doing the right thing. But he was wrong. There is no stopping this war, my son. Even if I went with the rogue king. He would still kill your father, just take care of each other, hold your head high and be strong, be the strong king I know you will be, but never lose yourself.
Love
Mom
I couldn't believe it. Greg was not my brother. He was a half-brother. And he was dead. How could they hide this from us. I started
balling up the paper that was still in my hand. I was determined to throw this away. I couldn't keep it. When I was about to toss it in the trash. Lee had stopped me.
“No don't, that letter is a part of your family, don't throw it again, Xander. One day, you will want to look back and reread these letters.” I knew she was right. I picked all the letters, walked over to my wall safe, and placed them. In there. After that was done and locked away, I fell to my knees crying. How could I face this woman now? If all people, how could I face her knowing she had read that letter.
LeeAnn pov
I knew I shouldn't have given him that letter but I knew he needed to read it, I was nervous for him, what i really wanted to do was just hold him in my arms, but i knew it wasn't the time, what kind of person would i be if i didn't let him read his own letters that his parents had written him, He was about to throw one of the letters awaa before i stopped him,
“No don't. Xander, that letter is a part of you and your parents,” He knew i was right, so he picked all the letters up including the album putting them in the safe, once they were locked away he fell to his knees crying, I didn't know what to do, I ran over there holding him in my arms rightly letting him cry until he couldnt anymore, I knew all those rumors I have heard was nothing but lies, This man right here has the biggest heart i havfe ever seen in my life, I picked him off the floor saying,
“Come shower with me, He looked shocked but he went into the bathroom with me, tonight is not the night to mate, i needed to find a way to tell him what i knew, once we showered we got dressed and than went back into the bedroom, When he sat down and cut on his computer, i knew i needed to, i knew i needed to tell him, so i said,
“Xander, i need to talk to you, i need to tell you something, that you need to know,” He turned and gave me his full attention, and i hope this goes well, if not, that im screwed, he kept watching and waiting for me to tell him what he needed to know,
Hey guys, I'm sorry about the wait, I hope I remembered everything I wrote before, have fun reading
