Chapter 222: Join me
A knock on the door interrupted their alone time. Demir got up from his place before marching towards his room’s door.
"What is it?" he chimed in when he found a scorpion guard standing in front of his room.
The guard bowed his head in respect to the prince before he said, "We found the little princes of the lion tribe and snake tribe in the snake tribe under that tribe’s leader’s care"
Demir visibly relaxed as soon as he heard that and as the guard was pretty loud, Lyra too felt her worry subside.
After excusing the guard, Demir closed the door before walking into the room, "Killian must have heard" he commented before sitting beside her.
Lyra nodded at his words. The only one that was not with her at the fox banquet was Killian and the thought of him getting worried without knowing the proper situation made her frown, "He would have been so worried"
Demir knew that too and that’s why he sent one of his guards to inform Killian about her disappearance but that didn’t seem necessary as the latter had already left in search of their mate by the time the guard reached the rose castle. To think about it, It was obvious because Killian would have felt something wrong through his mate bond and acted accordingly even without others informing him and that fact made him a little bit envious of Killian. The female he loved was the soulmate of another male. It didn’t matter the said male was his friend. His heart throbbed painfully whenever he was reminded of Lyra and Killian being each other’s soulmates. But he had to make sure to never let his beloved female learn about this.....about his loathsome inner feelings.
’’Demir....Demir!’’ Lyra’s voice brought him out of his reverie. He looked at her as she asked confusedly, ’’What are you thinking so deeply?’’
’’It’s nothing’’ a lie as always flowed out of his mouth without any difficulty and to distract her from prying further, Demir slumped his head against her shoulder and hugged her, ’’Console me.....I was also worried about you’’ but this was true. He was indeed worried out of his mind when she disappeared all of a sudden back in the fox tribe’s banquet.
