Xavier

Much to my surprise, Prince Iain canceled all his public appearances for the following week. He didn’t have many, but I was surprised that he didn't plan on at least following up on some of his charity organizations that he worked with, or at least getting together with friends. He had been away for a significant amount of time; didn’t he want to catch up with those he hadn’t seen?

Having nothing on his calendar made things easy for me. Though I was sad for him that he was holed up in his room. I wanted to talk with him, but what could I say?

I’m sorry your dads want us to get married? Was it so terrible that he had to marry me? Surely, he could do better, but I wasn’t a terrible catch.

We’d enjoyed our time together while he was in heat. We made the decision to be together, and now the king wanted us to remain together to avoid a scandal. What choice did I have?

I decided to throw myself into my work to give Iain time to himself. With nothing on Iain’s schedule I was able to attend all the meetings to close out and transfer my duties regarding the royal wedding to other members of the guard. I wasn't as sad to see the work go as I thought I would be.

When I had been assigned to head up the security for the royal wedding, I had been ecstatic, proud of myself for coming that far in my career in such a short amount of time and being that vital to the royal family.

Still, there was a lot of work to do before I could devote my time to him completely. It was three full days before I finally knocked on his door. I had kept in touch with the guards assigned to his door. From what they could tell me, he only left his room for meals. I didn’t like the idea of him sulking. I hoped he and I would be able to talk this through and figure out what it was about the situation that bothered him so much.

I knocked again and waited, then knocked again after standing there for a minute. I cleared my throat. “Iain?”

Saying his name without a title attached to it was odd, but I should get used to it. I kind of liked the way it felt on my tongue.

I knocked again. “Iain, may I please come in?”

I wasn't about to go in without being invited, but technically I had the authority. All it would take was one turn of the knob, and I could push my way in. But that would be an invasion of his privacy. I wanted him to want to let me in.
