sending every soldier we had to bring you back. She’s in her room right now.”

 

He nodded; a little surprised his master was that concerned about him. What exactly did he mean to the princess...? He entered Jessica’s room, a little relieved to find her asleep. She was still dampened from her almost-bath, her hair was disheveled and she was an overall wreck, but Jessica looked so peaceful. Sean reached out to move a piece of hair out of her face when he felt himself pulled onto the bed beside the princess.

 

“Hello dear...” Jessica said her greeting anything but friendly... Sean was afraid he was going to get punished and was surprised when the princess wrapped her arms around him. “You ran... you should never run away from me. There is a reason I keep you so close.” Sean could feel her soft breathing on his skin...

 

“Jessica...” He sighed... he then thought of a question that was brought on by Jessica’s previous comment. “Princess... Why do you want me so close? Why did you make me your personal servant?” Sean wasn’t sure, but he could have sworn he saw a look of fear pass her face... but it faded too quickly to ask about it.

 

“I will tell you someday Sean...” Jessica sighed but then her lips formed into a smirk. “Now dear, get some rest. You are going to have to be punished from running off on me again.” He shivered, noting that princess Jessica wasn’t letting go of his body, meaning he would have to sleep here in her arms. But somehow, it didn’t bother him that much. The gentle sound of her breathing lulled him to sleep and somewhere in the back of his mind, Sean knew this probably wasn’t allowed. A princess and a servant shouldn’t be together in this sense, but it didn’t matter now. The two were at peace, falling into a deep sleep in each other’s embraces.

 

 

CHAPTER 4: Trust your partner…and that’s what I intend to do

 

 

Sean wasn’t much of an observer, but Jessica had been acting stranger than what was considered ‘normal’ for her. She left early in the mornings for meetings and according to Ms. J she wouldn’t even bring any guards with her. When he questioned Jessica about this she simply stated that she was going to see an old friend and that she didn’t need any guards to look after her royal buttocks.

 

Jessica had also been keeping Sean busy with doing pointless tasks like getting her food only to have her say she didn’t want it and gave it to Ms. J. At this moment he was helping Eri in the kitchen since her highness was busy with one of her so called ‘meetings’.

 

“Hun…” Eri sighed, grabbing his shoulder. “I already cleaned up here… now we have to clean this again.”          He and let his eyes wander to the floor. He felt kind of bad for screwing up… for most people he didn’t give a crap whether they like him or not.

 

But this was Eri; she was a friend and almost like a sister to him. She was the only was he talked to besides Jessica and Ms. J. Lately a lot of the servants talked about him and Jessica being forbidden lovers or whatever… like that would ever happen. It was always the princess who made the moves on him.

 

“Sorry Eri…” Sean murmured, hiding his expression of embarrassment under his massive bangs. The wolfress just gave him a worrisome look.

 

“Is something the matter Sean?” she asked. When he looked up at her, he knew he would have to tell her. She really was like a sister… a sister that had to know everything and be concerned if there was something wrong.

 

“It’s Jessica… she’s been acting different lately…” Sean saw Eri act almost surprised for a moment. Not many people actually referred to Jessica as anything but Princess or your Highness. Being such a low stature and around the same age… Sean could see how they looked like lovers.

 

“Her highness has… seemed to be rather busy lately.” Eri said, leaning back on a wall.  “She must be distressed.”

 

“Maybe…” The rather busy wolf murmured. Even though what she said made sense, it somehow did not ease his mind.

-AFTER WASHING –

 

The servant sighed as he walked along the corridor. It had taken him and Eri so long to finish the dishes because Sean washed the already clean dishes. He hoped Jess was done with her meetings that he could talk to her about what was bothering him. He really wanted to put his worries to rest. In the back of his mind he could only wonder why he cared for that snotty prick, but in the smallest corner of his heart he knew why…

 

“I will not let myself marry that sad excuse of a male, I won’t!” The grey servant halted as he heard the loud voice. It came from around the corner and mid-way down the hallway. Luckily the voice was close enough that Sean could hear. If he didn’t know any better, it sounded like Jessica’s voice.

 

“I’m sorry your highness, but this is to keep peace between the clans! This is what you agreed to.”

 

“Brody, so since he didn’t accept the offer as king you now want to me to marry the new king of your has been pack!” Sean winced, why was the name Brody in the conversation, he could almost hear the hate in Jessica’s voice.

 

“Princess…” The wolf named Brody paused. “Is it my fault that the true ruler declines his position? Listen if you were mates with Davi, we would have the strongest pack in the nation! Is all this drama because you want…”?

 

“Brody…” Jessica growled. So, Jessica was to be married… why had she been leading him on like this? Sean could only imagine Jess’s face at that point. He feared to peer around the corner in case they spotted him.

 

“So I am right! Your highness, think of you’re duties to your pack before you go on messing with love. Davi is a good leader, he has the right genes and can provide! Why would you not want a mate like that?” Brody paused, her grin widening as she saw the princess’s defeated look.

 

“…Its not that simple. It…” The princess’s gloomy eyes drifted out of the conversation. Brody arched her brow, before the familiar grin reappeared.

 

“Ahhh… it would just be so much better to have Sean supporting you by your side as your lover…right?”

 

Jessica darted a dangerous look at the snickering wolfress, why was she getting to her.

 

“…Shut up…”

 

The stranger laughed at the princess’s rude language. “I will give one year, in which you technically will become an adult in six months, Princess. And just for you, I’ll give you an extra six months just if you can’t decide automatically. You either marry Davi, or we go to war. Either choice, we will be getting your land!” Sean heard the sound of the loud clomping of paws coming towards him. He backed away from the noise, running into one of the nearby rooms. Sean was so confused. Was this Brody…his Brody? His heartbeat was rapid until he heard those sounds walk past the room. He breathed a sigh of relief, sitting on the bed that in the middle of the room to catch his breath.

 

“How am I going to face Jessica now…” Sean muttered to himself. There was no way he could even bring himself to speak to Jessica now without that urge to ask her why he lied to him. Sean sat there in silence for the longest time before he decided to get up and get back to work. He opened the door and walked out the hallway; a gloomy look upon his face.

 

“Sean.” a voice that seemed all too familiar called to him. Sean froze; a little worried about how familiar the voice really was. He turned around to see the brown haired princess standing not to far where he had stood when he spied on his conversation with Brody.

 

“Jessica…” That was all he could say at this point. All other words in his vocabulary were gone and all he could think about was how stupid he was to walk out in front of her highness. He should have known she would still be there since he didn’t hear him walk away like Brody had.

 

“So you heard…” Jessica said in a monotone voice. It startled him because it was so emotionless. It was so unlike the playful and coy tone in Jessica’s voice he was used to hearing. Even though he was worried Jessica would be angry with him, he still had to ask her.

 

“Why did you lie to me Jessica, I would have never told anyone you were marrying.” Jessica didn’t respond for the longest time. She walked closer to her servant, putting a paw on his shoulder and looking into his eyes.

 

“It would not have mattered even if I told you. All the people hate me!” Jessica hissed at Sean before calming herself down. “You’re just going to have to trust me.”

 

“But why me, Jessica? You’re going to start a bloody war just because I…err…this male wouldn’t step us as king, c’mon the new king is way better then he’ll ever be right?” Sean fought back, not wanting to give up until he got his answers. “Why are you doing this…I’m nothing! Why me…”

 

Sean was trying to understand this; why would Jessica do all this for him. Sean did not like the thought of the princess getting married to a complete stranger, but why would she, the princess of Reapers, go through so much just for him. She didn’t even know Sean before he came here… right?

 

“You’re just going to have to trust me dear.” Jessica slid her hand off his coarse shoulder. She gave a simple peck onto Sean’s cheek causing the grey haired teen to blush. Now Sean could only stand there, his cheeks a pretty shade of pink, as Jessica walked past him. “Get back to work Sean. I’ll tell you everything, eventually.” That was all Jessica said before she was completely out of sight.

 

The grey wolf rubbed his cheek, hoping it would remove the colorful shades. He waited until the princess was gone before he slumped back down. “Jessica…screw you…” He muttered under his breath. He felt so clueless even though he found out so many things from the
