Talia's(Isla) POV

'What do you even mean by that? ' Ken asked, raising his voice slightly.


'Forget I said anything." I shot back and turned my back on him.

'Isla, we really cannot start like this." He begged. 'I need you to please help me help us." I didn't like how I was putting him in this situation, I really should practise holding my tongue more I don't think he's beloved Isla was as spontaneous as I was.

'Do you think I'm enjoying this?" I asked him. He was very different from Kael, but also very alike. They both really can't see below the surface. 'How did you expect I'd take it?" I asked him.


'Now that you're asking, maybe I'll admit I did not think about that, but also doesn't mean that I'm trying to make you feel some type of way. You literally asked me to tell you what was going on." He said, seeming like a whiny little cry baby.

'It's alright, really." I had calmed down a bit, but he couldn't see that. Plus what I made was quite an allegation against him.


'You said we should move past all that, you said you were ready to. You don't have to keep bringing up a guy you had sex with when you lost your memory. It's hurts, Isla, it fucking hurts!" His voice was louder than normal.

'I'm sorry that burying him like a freaking wild animal doesn't sit well with me. I'll learn to take more shit next time." I said. I was fucking pissed. And if I knew anywhere in his palace, I'd have stormed off there. But this was the only place I knew, I cat even remember how Younger and I passed in the afternoon.

I just lay on the bed silently fuming with rage. At least, he knew to shut up. The air was quiet, and there definitely might not be any sleep for the both of us.

'I didn't think you'd see it that way." He said finally.

Ken sat up and took my hand, silently. I was still mad but I can't deny that a human touch felt so good. Kens felt much better, his butter soft hands must be more delicate than mine.

'I'm sorry, Isla." He apologized. 'I'm tired of not being cool with you. I'd rather be dead than be in a world where we don't love each other." He continued.

'Ken was my mate." I said finally.

'Ohh." He exclaimed in realization. Isla must have told him everything, because it dawned on him and he definitely looked more apologetic.

'Yeah." I replied. 'Never thought I'd see him again." The tears were coming now. While Ken thought I was being a puddle because of this argument , I was crying because this really was the end of Kael and I.

'Baby, I know this won't be easy to forget. It's double the history now. But we did it the first time. I swear we can do it again. I'd give you everything I ever did, and more. Just please, please, let us make this work." Ken looked so pathetic.

'I have no choice either way." I said resignedly. 'We are in this together. Except, of course, if you don't want to be."

'I don't like it when you sound like this." Ken said. 'Could you sit and please let us talk this out?" So much for 'Let's sleep".

I sat up either way because I was already bored of the position I've been lying in.

'What else is there to say?" I asked him. I folded my hands crossed my chest and just looked down on my laps.

'We are gonna have to talk about this whether you like it or not." It's the first time he's really put his foot down since I've met him, and I'm not going to lie, there was something incredibly cute and sexy about it.

'How about we do it all over again?" I suggested. He wanted a solution and I couldn't keep being the drawback.

'I'm all for that, Baby." He looked excited. I love how he was a very readable man. All his emotions were plastered over his face.

'But let's also take it slow." I added cautiously. Thankfully, it did dampen his joy, or maybe he just didn't care, or hear.

I rested my head on his shoulders I felt as he went giddy with joy. He wasn't even properly seated but since he didn't care, I did not too.

'Isn't it funny?" He asked me.

'What are you talking about?" I responded.

'How we keep finding our was back to each other." He replied to me. 'No matter how hard or impossible it seemed." His big hand was rubbing my bare arm.

'That's some destiny right there." I replied to him.

'One I'm only too grateful for." He said back.

'How's a typical day here like?" I asked him.

He beamed, loving how I was getting interested in him.

'It's pretty normal, for me at least." He started. 'Nothing much. Just doing what I have to do and catching breaks here and there…"

Ken talked off, about so many things. I got lost at some point, but I did not even bother trying to catch up. I had my whole life to be here. There's no use rushing to learn everything in one night.

I loved listening to him rant off, his voice was so freaking sonorous. He was a lovely man in and out, that I knew.

'Are you even hearing me?" He asked when he noticed I had trailed off.

'No. But I enjoyed hearing you speak. You have such a sexy voice."

'This isn't the time to say such words, else you risk evoking certain things in me." He was joking, we both knew, we also knew that he wasn't. He was rubbing me like a snack, and if he had the opportunity, he'd eat me. He already had a bone that he couldn't even conceal.
