Her King

It was not safe for Regina or her grandmother to stay in her house. Her Uncle tried to convince her to come with him to his house, he even threatened her which obviously I didn’t like but since I know he didn’t mean it so he is still alive.

But, my stubborn girl refused to leave her house.

I informed Anna that I am going to take Regina with me to my place and she should not worry about her safety. Even though Marco didn’t like the idea of her being with me but he can’t do anything about it. Reluctantly, Anna leaves with Marco after making me promise that I will look after Regina.

“Regina-”

“Atlas, if you are telling me to leave my house then I am not going anywhere.” She cuts me off, “I am not going to leave my house because of some bastards.”

I smile looking at her because my Regina looks beautiful when she is furious, but then she always looks beautiful to me.

“What if I ask you to leave your house, not because of some bastards but for me?” I cup her face in my hand and caress her cheek, “What if I ask you to come with me to our house?”

“Our house?” She silently asks while leaning into my hand.

“The moment you stepped into my life, everything which is mine became yours.” Bringing her face near to me, I place a kiss on her forehead, “Including myself.”

“The place where I live is no longer mine now... it is ours.” I smile, “And I want you to move in with me in our place.”

“But before that, I want to tell you something.” My smile turned forced as nervousness starts to seep inside my heart.

“Promise me, you will give me a chance and will not run away from me.” I don’t care my tone sounds pleading, because I will do anything to make her stay in my life.

“I am not going to leave you, you can share with me whatever you want to share.” Holding my hand, she lightly squeezes trying to calm my nerves.

“Regina...” I swallow then moving away from her, I walk in the middle of the living room.

Taking a deep breath, I directly glance into her eyes.

“I am not a human.” I keep on staring in her eyes, which are giving me the courage to share the truth with her, “I am a beast... a vampire.”

Her eyes never waver from mine as she calmly just keeps on glancing at me. Moments of silence pass between us then slowly a smile stretches across her lips.

“Finally, Atlas.” She leans back on the couch and crosses her one leg over other, “I thought you are never going to tell me this.”

Her calmness takes me by surprise because it is impossible to be this calm. I have just told her the biggest truth of myself and she is behaving like it is nothing.

“Regina, I am not joking.” I shake my head at her slightly feeling agitated because of lack of her reaction

“Of course, you are not.” She shrugs nonchalantly.

“Atlas.” She sighs, still smiling, and she walks towards me, “I know everything, I was justing waiting for you to share with this me.”

“You belong to me.” She lifts her eyes to meet my stunned but somewhat happy eyes, “You and King.” She whispers.

I can’t help but laugh at his shocked expression and I am sure even King must be having a good laugh. It has not been long when King told me everything, because he thinks his human doesn’t want him to meet me in real.

Honestly, I couldn’t believe when he first told me he is not a normal human. Well, you don't believe what you see in your dreams because it is not real, right?

But how I feel for him is also something which doesn’t seem real, yet, it is the biggest truth of my life. So, when he shared with me everything slowly I start to believe him as there was nothing but only truth behind his words.

At that moment, I knew whoever he is, whatever he is...he is just mine and nothing can change that.

King was scared that now I will leave them or get afraid of them. But I know, I can never be afraid of them because I know Atlas is my love... my other-half and can never harm him. His beast is a part of him and with Atlas, I accept even him as mine.

Maybe, I am the one who is not normal, I should run away from him. But any of his truth seems too small in front of the love which I can see in his eyes for me. He completes me, in a way that I never knew I was incomplete. My heart says I belong with him... because he is meant to be mine.

His eyes keep on changing, the golden ring starts to appear in his eyes but when he blinks it is gone. He looks like he is struggling with himself which I don’t like a bit.

I want him to free himself from his internal struggle.

Standing on my tip-toes, I bring his face near to mine and press my forehead against his while not looking away from his eyes.

“Atlas.” I breathe while holding his hand with my other hand, I place it above my heart which is beating crazily inside my chest, because I want him to know he is the only one for whom my heartbeats... he is the only one who can make me feel like this, “You are mine and this is the only thing which I know.”

“Atlas King... ” Tears fill in my eyes because of all the emotions which are engulfing my heart... the heart which he owns, "I accept you as mine."
