My Secret, My Bully, My Mates. novel Chapter 255

Chapter 0255

"Don't be too hard on yourself, Little One. Your assessment is correct. These people mostly deal in words, brides and threats. Especially in the King's Castle. They will not risk being an outcast here, but that doesn’t mean that they won't try things away from the king. You did good tonight, though."

"You were watching me?"

"The King would trust your safety to no one else.

Remember, you are special, Little One and very important to this kingdom."

I all of a sudden felt very tired. I don't want to be special, I just want to be me. I want to become a warrior, find my mate and ride off into the sunset with my family like a romance movie. Is that too much to ask? I lean into Xander and rest my head on his chest. His arm tightens around me and I just close my eyes breathing in his comforting scent.

The next thing I know I'm swaying, like someone is rocking me gently to sleep. I take a deep breath, and bury my head into the soft fabric I'm laying on. I hear whispers around me though, which is pulling me closer and closer to consciousness, making me grumpy.

"Here Xander, I want her in this guest room, closest to you.

There's a few I still don't trust that might try something tonight.” I chose that moment to open my eyes, take a deep breath in and look around.

"Hey Midge.” Xander whispers. "You fell asleep in the elevator. You're staying here tonight and all day tomorrow, so dont try sneaking out early to go running,”
