CROSSING THE BORDER novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Declan was livid when he learned Maximus took Rania away to the eastern side of the kingdom. They would stay in one of the royal family’s houses there.

“Don’t complain to me, if you asked me, I will tell you that I agreed with the decision. Both of them need some alone time.

“Alone time?!” Declan was exasperated. “How many alone times they need?! They had been together day and night! How could Maximus neglect his duty?”

“Declan, he doesn’t neglect his duty, he had done what he needed to do, even if he is here, there is nothing much he can do, unless you expected him to go to a war against the Black Stone pack, and those rebel packs.

Eiten was in the middle of the preparation, since he would lead the attack. Therefore, he would leave the palace for at least a month, since that was the estimated time that they would manage to quail the coup.

“I can’t talk with you! You don’t understand, you only know how to fight, you don’t understand the matter in the kingdom’s state!” Declan groaned angrily. “You don’t know how hard it is to deal with the elders?”

Eiten finally fed up with Declan’s complain, he turned around and faced the royal beta. The three of them were good friends growing up, but sometime Declan was to idealist with his vision.

“Have you gone to the frontline of a battlefield? Does deal with the elders cost you your life?” Eiten stared at him, waiting for his answer.

“That’s your specialty, you know what to do.”

“Then you got the answer for your own question, Declan.” Eiten sighed deeply, he approached Declan and patted his shoulders. “Don’t be too rigid, you will only break the king even further, and then there will be nothing left for this kingdom, but a madness.”

Declan gritted his teeth, and said nothing else, but later that night, he received a secret letter, asking for a meeting.

Maximus carried Rania out of the car, because she was sleeping when they arrived at the beach house. It was still afternoon, but the sky was cloudy, and the temperature was right. From afar you could see the sound of

waves.

Maximus only took a handful of warriors with him, since he only intended to stay for two to three days. He couldn’t stay away from the palace for long.

Carrying Rania in his arms, Maximus stared at her sleeping face. She looked pale, and her lips were slightly ajar.

He climbed the stairs, as their bedroom was on the second floor. Maximus opened it and the salty smell of the wind greeted him. The door to the balcony was opened, and from there you could see the blue sea.

It was a sight to behold.

Chapter 111

“I open the door to air the room. Do you want me to close it, my king?” The old butler asked in a low voice, because he didn’t want to wake Rania up.

He heard about the rumor of the king’s mate, but because the king had not yet held any ceremony for her after all this time, he thought it was only a rumor.

But then, when he saw the woman and the way the king cared about her, he knew immediately, she was indeed his mate.

Knowing Maximus, he wouldn’t waste his time for a random people, let alone to treat them with any form of gentleness.
