"Why would you think I would reject you?" He asked in stead, staring at me. I sighed, running my hand down my face. "Aren't you embarrassed to have a rogue like me?" I challenged, already knowing he thought that at one point.

He frowns but shook his head. "No, I don't, Kizara. The queen was a rogue and now she rules beside the king," he answered me. I raised my eyebrow at him," what does that have to do with anything?"

We both continued eating. "The point is that I'm not going to reject you, you're my mate and I'm not so cruel, I want to protect you," Spade insisted. Somehow I got angry by this. "I don't need protecting," I corrected him, my eyes shift from brown to purple. I trained hours to protect myself from anything coming at me.

I don't need protecting.

"Sorry, I did not mean to offend you, what I meant to say was that I wont let you get hurt," Spade corrected and I realised slightly. We both stared at each other, neither of us saying anything until he cleared his throat.

"Um, so your family, do you remember anything about them?" He changes the topic, shovelling egg into his mouth.

"Yours?" I snapped back, clearly not wanting to speak about them. Spade looked at me before drawing his eyebrows in confusion. "I guess that's fair. My dad was badly injured in a fight. He could take the pain but my mother channeled his pain and she couldn't take it so she died. My father died a day after."

I wanted to cry for him on the inside. The pain of loosing both parents at once, that's terrible.

"I got separated from my parents a couple of days ago," I admitted, frowning and continued to eat the food. "Siblings?" He asked. "One brother, you?" I replied.

Don't tear up, Kizara.

"Brother, younger of course," he says and I nod.

I ate in quiet without another word. When I was finished, he took the plate and put it in the sink. After he welcomed me into this new room.

I silently stared around at it, wondering why the hell I was here. But it was beautiful nevertheless. "There is a TV, washroom, closet filled with clothes and I left my laptop on the bed for you to kill time. I'll only be a couple of hours," he said, pointing to everything. I turned around to see the frown on his face.

He was leaving me.

"No, mate must not leave me!" Snow growled and I dismiss her, pushing her to the back of my head. "Okay, thank you. I'll be fine," I quickly say with a fake smile.

"Okay, well goodbye, I'll be back by lunch time," he declared, backing out of the room.

"Bye," I whispered as he shut the door.
