Fang's POV
Even though Max was safe from other harm, it was hard for me to sleep that night. To make Max more comfortable, I leaned against the cave wall and put her head on my lap. She had stopped her fussing and fallen into a restless sleep thank god. She was still pale, and that bite mark had me worried, but it seemed to have gotten better whatever it was. The swelling had gone down, and it was only bruised now.
Outside, rain started to fall and dark depressing clouds overcrowded the sky. Seconds felt like hours as the night slowly passed by. Max started shivering at one point, so I draped my jacket over her skinny shoulders. She whimpered for a second then smiled brightening my night. Stroking her hair, I leaned down and kissed her forehead.
The rain droned me to sleep, but I'm not sure for how long. I awoke to someone gently caressing my cheek. Looking down, I realized it was Max awake and giggling.
"Hey you're awake! Why are you laughing? Should I be worried?" My voice was light and happy. Max didn't reply and instead just laughed and sat up.
"How are you feeling?" I asked examining her neck. The skin was nice and smooth as if nothing was there.
"Fine." Max's reply was short and she wouldn't look me in the eye. She knew something I didn't, and she wasn't fine.
"Max, what's wrong?"
She only smiled although her eyes were sad and almost welling up with tears again.
We decided to fly back to Montague and see my father. I had suggested Max go into hiding because I was afraid of what the king might to, but Max refused.
Once we got to the castle, we noticed guards posted at every gate and every door, and when we tried to enter the guards stopped us.
"Sorry no one can enter." One of the guards grumbled in a rough voice.
"I'm his son." I declared. "I command you as Prince of Montague to let us in."
"You're no longer prince anymore. The King's kicking you out."
Max's POV
Fang has been only too sweet, and he didn't deserve the fate that had bestowed upon him. When I woke up, I realized I was in his lap snuggly warm under his royal but now dirty jacket. Fang was leaned against the cave wall asleep. He looked so hot with his dark hair mixing in with his dark skin. Impossible to resist it, I reached up and gently stroked his cheek smiling to know this was real. My touch and Fang's warmth was real.
Unexpectedly, Fang woke up, and embarrassed, I pulled away.
"Hey you're awake! Why are you laughing? Should I be worried?" Fang's voice was quiet but happy. Still embarrassed, I just sat up and laughed at his sarcasm.
"How are you feeling?" He pulled up my hair and looked at my neck… He probably discovered it last night, but there's no way I'd tell him what happened. Still, I let him just to show him I was fine… physical wise.
"Fine." He detected the lie because everything wasn't fine. Well, maybe for now it was but things are about to get so much worse.
"Max, what's wrong?"
I couldn't answer, so I just smiled at him.
Before any more questions could be asked, I suggested we get back to Montague. Fang agreed, but he also wanted me to stay in hiding. I refused. It's clearly time to stop hiding, and for the world to know what's really happening. I'm also pretty sure the King knows, and he's what's making the prophecy come true.
Once we got to the castle, all the guards were lines up in front of gates and doors. They wouldn't let us in.
"Sorry no one can enter." One of the guards said, and I knew exactly why, but I kept my mouth shut.
"I'm his son. I command you as Prince of Montague to let us in." Fang demanded.
"You're no longer prince anymore. The King's kicking you out."
