The Royalties

Chapter 6

Kiara:

“Shifters” Andrea said glaring at the creatures who were now turning back to their original figures.

Five elves stood in front of us holding wands, but they suddenly disappeared.

“What?” I asked confused.

“Shifters are elves, but elves don’t have magic, so they use wands; now we need to find them before they escape the palace!” Andrea said quickly, he shut the fire and attempted to vampire speed along with his siblings only to be held back by his father.

“Oh no you don’t” Harry said holding Andrea back by his arm.

“What?” Andrea asked looking at Harry with wide eyes.

“You are going nowhere; you’ve already put yourself and your siblings lives in enough danger” Harry said looking him in the eye.

“We just saved your lives! Who the hell knows what’s behind that door and how much more danger you would’ve been in?” Andrea snapped pulling his arm from his father’s bruising grasp.

“You can’t seriously be snapping at us for saving your lives?” Mia asked bewildered.

“None of us asked you to save our lives” Harry snapped.

“But sire…”

“Not a word from you! How the hell did you even allow them to walk out of the chamber and come here?” Harry yelled at Ashton, I looked at him and Rosally and nodded at them to walk out before Harry burst out on them and they bowed down before walking out.

“What? Did you expect us to let you die?” Rolan snapped at Harry, a dark aura was forming around him as his anger rose.

“You were expected to stay in Andrea’s chamber!” Harry said angrily.

“Harry” I said in a warning tone, them fighting right now was not going to benefit us in anyway.

“Oh yeah! Locked up like criminals because you can’t admit that we are right?” Rebecca snapped at her father, Harry’s eyes widened at her sudden outburst, she had never been one to argue with her father, on the contrary she was his spoiled little child.

I could feel Harry’s anger rise and knew that trouble was going to happen if they kept this going up, Mia looked like she was going to comment, but I looked at her and mouthed “don’t” she looked away and bit her bottom lip in annoyance.

“Kids please go to Andrea and Mia’s joined chamber” I said looking at them with pleading eyes, I needed Harry to calm down if he was to think straight and not hurt his children out of anger.

“Mum…”

“Now” I ordered stopping Rolan from saying what he was about to say, I knew they did nothing wrong, if they hadn’t come when they have who knows what would’ve become of Harry and I, but Harry was worried about them which is why he was acting the way he was.

Andrea looked at me and for the first time since he was born I saw disappointment in his eyes, and it was directed at Harry and I, he put a hand on Mia’s shoulder and looked at Rolan nodding at him to follow him.

Not saying another word, the four kids bowed at us before walking out of the throne room leaving Harry and I alone.

“Harry” I said gently.

“Don’t” Harry said angrily, I slowly walked behind him, wrapped my arms around him slowly and kissed between his shoulder blades.

He allowed his tensed body to relax against my embrace and let out a breath I’m sure he didn’t even know he was holding, the dark aura which was threatening to form around him disappeared as his body relaxed.

“You know they did nothing wrong Harry” I said softly, Harry sighed and turned to face me.

“I know Kiara, but they could’ve been killed”

“Just like we could’ve been Harry” my blue eyes met his green ones and he looked away in attempt to avoid my eyes.

“I’ll go talk to them later” Harry said calmly and I nodded wrapping my arms around his neck and hugging him tightly, he wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his head in the crook of my neck.

“I love you” Harry whispered.

“I love you too”

************

We checked the palace grounds to find most of it destroyed, guards were laying everywhere, the lords and their maidens were mostly injured but luckily none of them was killed, most of the halls were burned and I had to turn off the rest of the fires so they wouldn’t get caught on anything else, not that much was left anyway.

We passed by Andrea’s chamber to find the door broken and the four kids sitting there not even bothering to out the door as they were visibly angry.

Mia held her younger siblings in her arms sitting on Andrea’s bed while Andrea sat on the floor in front of the fireplace collecting his gems from the table and putting them in a box.

Harry slowly knocked the door frame and the kids got up and bowed when they saw us entering the room, their eyes wouldn’t meet ours nor did they look in our direction.

“We came to check on you” Harry said softly.

“We’re fine” Mia snapped.

“Do you want to join us for dinner? We are going to have it in the terrace” Harry said gently.

“I’m not hungry” Andrea said looking his father dead in the eye.

“Nor are we” Rolan said and Rebecca nodded, I looked at Mia in hopes that she would think rationally but she shook her head and looked at her father.

“Enjoy your dinner your majesties but thank you for the invitation” Mia said bowing down.

“Kids…”

“If there’s nothing else, we were going to get ready for bed” Rebecca said stopping her father.

“It’s barely seven thirty” Harry said looking at her.

“It’s been a long day, I believe you would know better” Rebecca answered Harry, her eyes glared at him and I had to squeeze Harry’s hand for him not to start another fight with his kids.

“Okay, good night” I said in a low voice, all four kids bowed down to us as we walked out leaving them in the room and I saw Andrea use his powers to lift the door, fix it and close it.

I looked at Harry who’s eyes stared into space before he walked toward our own chamber with a clench in both our chests, we knew we had hurt them badly, but we didn’t expect that kind of reaction from them.

“What are we going to do now?” I asked Harry.

“Find and take out the bastard traitors”
