Skai Prisa - English version

Chapter 14

Clarke pov:

Rays of sunshine hit my face, bringing me back to consciousness. Even with my eyes closed I try to move, but something prevents me. I frown and open my eyes. A protective arm surrounds my waist and keeps me tightly attached. I smiled remembering what happened last night. Well, in the last nights. Since that first time, we have repeated it several times. More than I would like to admit.

I relax and close my eyes again. Today we will depart on our long journey between the clans. We will go to Floukru, being the closest. Actually, that's Trikru, but being the closest to the capital, it will be the last one we will stop at. Today I will officially become a general and advisor to Heda. And something else. But that nobody can know. I hope we can continue to spend time together. Between her guards and my overprotective brother we will have a difficult time.

Especially since yesterday. Oh, my God. Now I know what it's like to be humiliated. Roan entered at a very inopportune moment. And on top of that, he has the courage to claim me. You would have played first, bigabro. Even the noises must have warned you. Anyway, traumatized for life.

I feel like Lexa begins to wake up, struggling to continue sleeping. She hugs me even tighter, and I can't help my smile from widening. I wish I could freeze time right now. Only two girls who love each other....Mrh they care for each other and have no other concern. No coalition to lead, no problems to solve. But I know this is only momentary, that we must return to reality.

"It's time to wake up sleepy." I joke, trying to get her attention and wake her up.

It seems to work. "Good morning." She says with a hoarse voice. Fuck, is there something I don't like about her?

"Although I want to stay like this forever, we must get up. Or Roan will come for us and it won't be pretty. Remember the last time." I comment amused, however these words have some truth.

She lets out an adorable growl. "Okay, okay. I'm coming, give me a minute." She doesn't move an inch.

On the contrary, she gets even closer if it can be to me. I caress her arm around me, drawing meaningless circles and lines. Her breathing begins to get heavier and heavier, again succumbing to sleep. I laugh at this and wake her up. She reluctantly gets up and I follow her. I give her a pick on her lips and it seems to change her mood.

As she walks to her clothes, I can't help but look at her tattoo. It is simply beautiful. All she has told me is that she got it on the day of her ascension, each circle representing each dead natblida. Personally, it fascinates me. I love to trace it from top to bottom, memorizing it. Also with the one on her arm.

We dress in a hurry, but taking care that everything is in place. She braids my hair and then I do it with hers, while I hum the same song that nomon sang to me while braiding my hair, several years ago. We paint our faces with the black paint, giving an even more intimidating look. Although mine still has the characteristic white line of Azgeda. I will serve the commander, but I am still Skai Prisa, the princess of Azgeda. At the end, she places her Heda symbol on her forehead and we are ready.

We set our weapons in place, take our bags, and I grab my bow and quiver. Obviously I can't go without them. Without them, Roan and Mason. Yup, Mason is joining us. It took me a bit to convince Lexa that he wouldn't cause trouble at Polis, but I knew she would say yes. We both know that she can't say no to anything. In addition, even if she does not admit it, she has become fond of the animal.

Mason will not only serve as company and protection, he will also be my source of entertainment. By not being able to make jokes or behave "badly", the only thing left for me to amuse myself is to see how my wolf intimidates the other guards. Well, he was always hostile to everyone in the castle, some consider me crazy for sleeping with him next to me. He seems to have caught it with the Trikru soldiers, and perhaps I am not doing much to stop him. Although, hey, neither does Lexa.
