Chapter 45

Alexandra's POV

"Hey Anna." Anna was sitting in the kitchen eating pancakes.

"Your highness!" The cooks gasped and bowed.

"Alex!" She smiled when she saw me. I saw another plate next to hers.

"What can I get you your highness." One of the cooks asked me.

"I want to eat dinner. Oh and make two plates." She nodded and they started making me something to eat.

"You started eating didn't you- Alex?" Harry stood shocked at the door.

"Hello brother."

"Hey Alex. Or should I say your highness." He smirked. I rolled my eyes until I was aware if the situation.

"So. You two. Eating together huh!" It was my turn to smirk. They both widened their eyes.

"No."

"Yes."

I raised an eyebrow and narrowed my eyes.

"Yes or no?" Anna glared at Harry. But he beat her to it.

"Yes we are." He said rolling his eyes.

"Harry." She hissed.

"They'll know eventually. Plus I hate you. But I can eat with you." He shrugged.

"You're weird." I said.

"Here's your food your highness." The cook gave me 2 plates.

"Who's the second one for?"

"Aaron." They looked at me confused. "Conor bring Aaron." He nodded a sharp nod and went to bring him.

"I'm here." He yelled running inside the kitchen.

"Hey pretty boy." Anna said with a warm smile.

"Hey." He chirped.

"What's your name?" She asked him.

"Aaron."

"Wow what a beautiful name."

"Mommy chose it."

"Aww where is she?" I shot her a look and she understood immediately.

"At the graveyard." She smiled sadly dropping the topic.

"Let's eat Aaron." He nodded and sat next to me.

After Conor took Aaron back home I sat at the library. I chose a book to read until Brandon comes back. He looks tense these days. I haven't seen mother yet. Which is strange. I asked Harry about her and dad but he only shrugged.

I roamed at the library to find a good book but I found none. Or I wasn't in the mood.

"What are you doing sweetheart." I turned with a huge smile to see Brandon standing with an amused face.

"Brandon!" I ran and he caught me mid way. I hugged him tight.

"How are you my queen."

"I'm fine." He looked tired and few cuts were visible on his face. I traced them and looked at him worried.

"Don't worry sweetheart. It's nothing." He kissed my forehead.

"Brandon where's mother and father?" I'm sick of being kept in the dark.

You would say, dumb girl go to their room. I did but it was locked. And Harry shooed me and distracted me.

He sighed and cupped my face.

"They're not here." He said.

"What? Where are they then?"

"They went back to Graceland." He said slowly.

"Brandon what are you hiding from me?" I was now mad. How could they hide something this serious from me?!

"They have work."

"What kind of work they have that you were all hiding this fact from me huh?" I yelled.

"Sweetheart calm dow-"

"No tell me to calm down Brandon! This is serious. Is grandpa okay?"

"Yes he is-"

"Then what's the matter?"

"Alexa! Enough." He said coldly.

"Don't use that tone with me Brandon or you're sleeping on the couch." He rolled his eyes.

"Come here." I tried to resist going to him but I needed him right now. "Everything will be okay I promise." He whispered.

"I hope so. I've had enough of drama." I said burying my face in his chest.

"Just trust me okay?" He kissed my head.

"I trust you B!" He cupped my face and kissed my lips. He kissed me deeply that I forgot everything that's happening.

"Go to bed. I'll join you soon." He said.

"Okay."

Brandon's POV

"If it's a war she wants that's what she'll get."

I was in my office along with Andrew, Ronan, Marcos, Brad and Nicolas. My 5 most trusted men.

"She really thinks that she will win?" Ronan smirked.

"She's so dumb." Marcos replied. I watched them amused.

"She's at least smarter than both of you." Nicolas said smirking.

"Very funny Nicolas." Ronan rolled his eyes.

"Enough child playing." Brad glared at the three.

"Gentlemen. We need a plan. She lost the element of surprise. We'll be ready for when she strikes. But we don't know what power she has." Andrew said.

"Andrew's right. We have to know more informations about her and the troops she's preparing. The warriors are ready. But we have to continue the training." Brad said.

"What do you suggest Nicolas."

"Yes smarty boy what do you suggest." Ronan smirked.

"I'll choke you Ronan I swear." Nicolas gave him his best glare. I rolled my eyes. They can be childish sometimes.

"We're having a real matter here." Andrew said but his eyes were twinkling with amusement.

"We strike. We kill the bitch. We win. Easy." Marcos shrugged.

"I'm gonna hit you hard." Nicolas said grabbing a plastic box and throwing it at Ronan.

"I'll hit you with a-" he grabbed the nearest thing to him which happened to be.. "pillow. Don't underestimate the power of a pillow." With that Ronan threw the pillow at Nicolas.

"Stop." I boomed. I've had enough fun. We have to be serious now. "I can't believe you are top warriors." I said rolling my eyes.

"Me neither. Maybe we should make them leave." Brad said Nonchalantly.

"Nah you need a smart brain here. So I'll grace you with my presence." Ronan said.

"Anyway." I said dropping the topic but glaring at them. They shut up immediately. "Brad I want you to send a letter to our little spy there. Elena doesn't know you." He nodded.

"Yes sir." His face was hard as a stone. That's what I love in him. His seriousness.

"Ronan you're the master of surprises. I want you to be the one to surprise them." He smirked.

"Yes sir. I'll form a plan and I'll share it with you as soon as it's ready." He said. I nodded at him.

"Marcos you'll be responsible of the trainings. I'll have few things now."

"Yes sir. I'll teach them tomorrow new strategies."

"Nicolas I need you tomorrow. We have something to do. Be ready by 8."

"Yes sir."

"Andrew you have a special mission." He smirked.
