CHAPTER 14

~RUEL'S POV~

When I took Lily out of the hallway we were on way to Lily's room but she stopped me, I was confused but...

"I don't want to go my room. Can we go to your bedroom?" Lily

I was shocked but it is Lily, my princess who always shocks me at unexpected moments but I know she needs me and I'm never gonna refuse her in anything.

"Sure Princess."

When I entered my room I placed her down on my bed, but kept close to me. I didn't want to let her and she smelled so sweet. In this moment it made me appreciate my self control more. I'm thankful that she also seen the light about that douche bag.

Now he can go away but he's got luck on his side that Lily don't want him dead otherwise he would of been, by the hands of Newt, while I happily watched. He never deserved her and now she's in my arms where she belongs and not in his.

It made me sad though she had to find out this way since we did hear everything that was said but after he hit her that was the last time he was ever going to touch her, ever!

I wanted to hit him too harder than he did to my princess but my princess asked me to stay on her side and now I think I'm the happiest vampire of all.

Surprisingly though she wasn't crying about the situation, she had watery eyes but never had them fall. She only held onto me tighter every time I was to move, not to get away from her but make myself comfy lying next to her but nope!

"I-I'm sorry." Lily

"What?"

"I hurt you all by siding Aiden all the time, I'm sorry!" Lily

Saying this she bursted into tears clutching onto me, I'm not complaining but her tears are hurting me, I would never want my princess to cry like this , no , never.

"No Princess, Its alright , you didn't knew him and as a girlfriend yo-"

"He was never my boyfriend." Lily

Okay, wait what!

"Continue Princess! Let it out now, I'm here."

"I-I'm sorry Ruel! I-I lied to you , he was never my boyfriend. It was just an immature love , no not even love just a crush. I didn't know what love is and I just named my crazy feelings for him as love. I'm sorry. When you guys told me I'm your soulmate I was happy but about boyfriend thing it just came into my mind as Aiden and I blurted out and I liked it when you guys went possessive over so I let it go as it was but I swear I didn't mean to hurt any of you, I don't love him! I only lo-"

"Lily!"

Fuck, she was just going to say it. Who the fuck interrupted!

"Lily!"

That must be her friend, but I don't know her name.

Lily just wiped her tears and snuggled more onto my chest. My princess.

"Lily, king Jin told me what happened!"

She walked closer but stood at the bed and bowed to me lightly with a small smile while I nod at her and give her one back. Even though I'm irritated that she interrupted us but she's Lily's friend so I'm going to be nice.

"How is she Ruel?" Jin

He walks up from behind the girl with his eyes on Lily who hasn't even bothered turning around from my chest to see her friend or even speak.

"I think she's okay. She hasn't spoken though."

I'm sure she wouldn't want me tell to anyone about this right now, so I lied. I think there's more she wants to talk to me.

"Lily, it's me, Joy."

She took one step closer and I watched her very carefully with her movements, she may be her friend but this girl in my arms is my mate and I'll protect her from anyone. Lily started to shift until she brought up her hand to her nose and wiped herself even though there was nothing there to begin with.

"Joy?" Lily

She whispered and I looked down, to move back a little to get better view of her face. I can never get over her beauty, she's perfect in everyway possible from her pink soft looking lips to the way her long eyelashes move as she blinks. Everything about her takes my breath away.

"Yes Lily, it's me. Are you okay?" Joy

Lily looks up at me with her sparkling brown eyes, perfection. She blinks once and smiles gently. It surprised me how she could smile in this situation, she just cried a moment ago and now but I couldn't help but chuckle and smile wider back to her.

I kissed the top of her head, my lips brushing the skin from her forehead as I kiss her hairline. Her friend Joy gasped but I didn't take notice and Lily didn't seem to mind. Maybe this is the start?

Lily shuffled more to turn around but I didn't want to let her go yet and allowed her turn around to face Joy and Jin standing next to the bed.

"I'm okay Joy, honest." Lily

"Are you sure?" Joy

Lily nodded with back of her head rubbing my chest.

"Surprisingly yes. I just had tears of anger that's all. I should of noticed there was something going on between them." Lily

"Between who?" Joy

"You don't have to talk about it Lily if you don't want to." Jin

"Its okay, really. Joy Aiden had been sleeping with Alice and now she's pregnant which explains why she's no been well and been acting wierd with me." Lily

Joy gasped and covered her mouth for a second before removing her hands again.

"Really!? What the fu-, I-I mean I had no idea!" Joy

I guess she stopped herself from cursing because of us but by the sound of her heart she wasn't lying. If she was lying her heart rate would of increased.

"Yeah but its okay now. I've seen who he truly was especially when he hit me." Lily

Joy gasped again but she frowns heavily and pressed her lips together with balled fists.

"He hit you! Just wait until I get my hands on him!" Joy

She turned around to leave but Jin grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her back to where she last stood.

"There's no need, the others are dealing with him." Jin

"Are they going to kill her? They should kill him." Joy

Jin chuckled while I laughed at her. I like her.

"No they're not going to kill him, unfortunately. But he's lucky, Lily don't want him to die." Jin

Joy eyes immediately went to lily.

"Why? He hit you. You gave seven vampire Kings that were willing to kill him for laying a hand on you and you said no. Why? I would of said yes." Joy

She crossed her arms across her chest and glare at Lily. For that I pressed Lily into me even more so, she doesn't seem like any harm but I didn't like that look she gave Lily.

"I'm not like that. You know that." Lily

"Well I'm gonna smack next time I see him and as for Alice. I don't want to talk to her ever again." Joy

"Bit she's your friend too. You don't have to do that." Lily

Oh Lily you are too nice for your own good.

"Well I'm going to, we've been friends for years. There's no way I'd betray you like that." Joy

She dropped her smile and found the courage to come and sit on the edge of the bed and pull Lily from arms into hug. I don't want to let her go yet but I think in that moment it would of been needed between the two.

"That's sweet." Jin

The girl pulled apart smiling at one another and the door opens again to some laughter from Ren.

"Oh my god!" Joy

She macks her own cheeks and shapes o with her mouth gawking at Ren as he walks in.

"What did you guys do to him?" Lily

"Oh Lily!" Ren

He shouts and comes running over to sit on his knees in front of Lily on the bed and takes her hands in his as I take this opportunity to sit up.

"H-Hi Ren." Lily

Her voice comes out small , I guess because of feeling bad as she told me before, but was happy in a way.

"I'm glad you are smiling Lily. How've you been?" Han

She was smiling? But I suppose sitting behind her I wouldn't expect for see her head move.

"I'm okay actually." Lily

"See! I told you she would be fine! She had Ruel and Jin with her!" Damon

Newt rolled his eyes but with my sharp vision I noticed the little blood on the corner of his upper lip. With Lily in front of me and not seeing me I waved a hand at him to get his attention, it took a few moments since he was simply staring at Lily but when he finally looked at me I pointed at him at my lip and back at him. He frowned for a moment before his eyes lit up and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

"What did you guys do with Aiden?" Lily

"We taught him a lesson." Luke

For someone that doesn't want Lily is showing the opposite today. First he panicked and ran when he heard Lily scream, an expression I've never seen him do before or even run that fast for that matter. And now he's all bothered about the way Lily was treated and wanted nothing but death for that guy just like the rest of us. Maybe he'll change his mind?

"What lesson was that?" Lily

"To never bother you again ." Luke

"But that doesn't answer my question what did you do?" Lily

I wanted to know what they did to him. If they hurt him I want to know the details but they'll most likely tell me later.

"Newt fed from him!" Damon

He pointed at Newt who was shocked from the confession Damon made.

"Well Ren did too! And Ren hit him !" Newt

Ren gasps.

"So did you!" Ren

"Okay okay! Stop, we get it you both did stuff to him." Jin

Lily sighs.

"You didn't kill him did you?" Lily

They both shake their heads looking down at the floor. They both resembled children being told of by the parent.

"No Lily they didn't kill him." Han

"Unfortunately." Damon

He mumbled under his breath but Lily didn't say anything about it. I wonder if she heard him though?

"Okay.As long as he doesn't come near me again I'm all good." Lily

She swings her legs to the edge of the bed taking her hands away from Ren who stood up from the floor.

"Oh trust me, he won't if he knows what's good for him." Ren

"Oh Joy! You know everyone's names so everyone this is my best friend, Joy." Lily

She pointed at the now frozen girl, who stares around the room at all of us.

"Joy ,are you okay?" Lily

She stood up and place a hand on her shoulder while Joy nods silently.

"Ren can you come here for a minute?" Lily

What is she doing?

Ren slowly and confusingly walks over to the both of them.

"What's wrong?" Ren

"Well Joy is a fan of yours so would it be okay if she shook your hand?" Lily

Ren smiles at her question and nods. We know there's humans out there that have these fantasy's about us kings but we choose to ignore them most of the time since those type of people end up being very same people that end up in our basement.

"Of course, that's no problem." Ren

He held out a hand and Joy stared at it and leaned closer to Lily.

"Can I hug him instead?" Joy

She whispers but I heard it and everyone else did too. I bit my lip yo hold in my laughter, while Ren eyes grew twice the size and looked at Lily.

"Okay, go ahead." Lily

Joy squealed and leaped at Ren who caught her in his arms shocked at what just happened, it was funny I couldn't hold it and laughed my head off at his face. It was like he didn't know what to do.

"Ren you should of seen your face!" Damon

He was laughing too while Lily chuckled.

"It's so good to finally meet you King Ren!" Joy

Ren patted her back still confused as to what was happened.

" It's nice to meet you too, sorry what's your name again?" Ren

"Its Joy!" Joy

This time Ren cracks a smile but his eyes were only on Lily. He must be only allowing this for Lily to make her happy. I would if she asked me.

Lily pulled Joy away and held her arm to keep her friend from going back to Ren while he took the chance to step back.

"Oh Lily, I told your teacher what happened to you and he said you were excused fir the rest of the day." Jin

She sighed again and came to sit next to me on the bed again.

"Thank goodness. I didn't want to go after that." Lily

"Hey I have a idea!" Damon

"What about after tomorrow evening Lily can spend the night with us?" Damon

That's a good idea but judging by her frozen self she wasn't so sure in the idea.

"W-what? It'll only be Tuesday night though. I'll have class next day." Lily

I shrugged and took her hand in mine.

"So what. It'll mostly be movies and food that's all or cuddles if you want."

She thought fir a moment,her eyes on our hands together.

",Okay then. Joy will you be joining us?" Lily

She looked at her friend but her friend shook her head with a smile though. She didn't seem upset about saying no. 'Great'

"I can't. Mr. Smith said he could help me with some more of those math problems. I'm taking thus chance for him to give me more time with my work so I can catch up fir graduation." Joy

Lily nods.

"Okay then, it'll just be us then." Lily

Oh I can't wait! We'll get to spend more personal time with her and get to know her more. Time better be on my side and go quick.

"So are coming back to our room or you want to stay here?" Joy

"Umm I want to stay with Ruel for some time" Lily

Oh gosh! Why is she looking like a baby I want squeeze.

"Okay then, I'll take my leave because Mr Smith haven't excused me for the day. Bye Lily" Joy

Joy hugs Lily fir the last time and leaves. Now we are left with the rest of kings.

"Aren't you guys going to leave? She wants to stay with me alone."

"Don't be so high about it. We are leaving." Newt

"I'm sorry guys. I didn't mean to- " Lily

" It's okay princess, we understand and we are happy that you are more comfortable with one of us so don't feel bad." Jin

That's why he's the oldest. He kissed Lily's head and left with others leaving me and lily alone.'Peace'

"So yo-"

She never lets me complete. She jumped on me and hugged me tightly. I love it. I love when she does it.
