when I know that you will do it all over again.”
“Things have changed, I have changed!” He shouted. He threw his arms around her. “Don't make me get on my knees and beg.” He whispered in her ear.
“Chilles, I wish we hadn't of come to this. I wish none of it happened. That everyone would be with the people they're supposed to be with, but it won't. You were supposed to be with me, but you slept with Mira. Mitchell was supposed to be with Mira, but he found out, started cheating on Mira with Elanor. Tyson is supposed to be with Elanor, she gets Mitchell to take him to Tesat and desert him there. Then his sons risk their lives to find him and bring him back. He goes to find his brother in prison and goes to talk to you, finds me and tries to figure out how to tell me you were cheating and things go better from there.”
“Please!” He cried.
“No. I am...done with that. Tyson treats me right.” She caressed his cheek. “He treats me just like you used to, before things...”
“Don't. Don't bring up things like that. It's over. The pain, the...” He looked in her eyes. Then pulled her into his warm embrace. “The everything we ever had. Go back to him, because if you truly loved him more than me, that's where you would be right now. You would be in his arms, kissing his lips, holding him close and wishing that I would never have come here. But your here in my arms, you've kissed my lips, your holding me close and hoping that I never leave. I know you love him, I know he loves you, but we have the same connection.”
“I can't be doing this. When he first came to me, I begged you would tell me you will change for me. You never did and I admitted to him that I loved him before you, I settled for you, I always wanted him. Now I am not going to screw that up.” She paused. “Goodbye.”
“What's so good about it? You just admitted you loved me, but you settled for loving me, because you couldn't love him. That's what your entire life is based off of. All the men you have loved. What a great life! The men you love, they also love someone else, and they aren't all about the women they love. Tyson's about the kingdom, I am about children. You chose power.” He snapped.
“I'm sorry you feel that way.”
“So sorry.” She left the room. “Frederick, where is king Tyson?”
“Couldn't find him, my lady. I'm sorry.”

“Elanor! You had me worried sick!”
“I'm sorry. I didn't realize the time.”
“Where were you?”
“I hate being drilled! Can we go to sleep?”
“No. I can't sleep! Where were you that you don't want me to know about?”
“I was with Chilles!” She paused. “Is that what you want to hear from me?”
“Did you sleep with him?”
“What?”
“Did you sleep with him?!”
“No. Why would you...” She cut herself off. “Where were you? You weren't here, because I sent Frederick to find you. Where were you, Tyson?”
“I was...doesn't matter. I am going to find...Mitchell. I will see you. Don't stay up.”
“Tyson? Please, tell me you weren't with Elanor.”
“I was. I regret to say, but I also...”
“Kissed her?”
“When we first got together I refused to kiss her, because I knew, once I did that, I would be taken back to a time when we were in love. I would have done anything to be with her after I kissed her, and I would have woken to her. I kissed her, but Emily...” He grabbed her arms and pulled her against his chest. She pushed him away.
“No. Tyson, don't say it. No. No, no,no!” Tears ran down her face. “You slept with her, didn't you?” It was more of an accusation than a question.
“I'm so so sorry, Emily. Please tell me, this isn't it. Emily, I will do anything to make up for this, I love you. I love you more than anyone! I will do anything you want me to.”
“Kiss me.”
“What?”
“Kiss me, Tyson.” She chuckled, through the tears. He grabbed her and pulled her against him. He moved toward her face, she cleared the space and as soon as their lips were together, he shoved more force. He lifted her up and cradled her in his arms. He moved towards the bed, he laid her down and went around the bed and laid down next to her.
“Emily, I really am sorry.”
“I know. We will work through this.”
“I thought...well, you know. I was afraid of losing you.”
“Tyson!” The door slammed open. “You...how could you?!” Mitchell roared. He ran up grabbed Tyson from his bed and threw him on the ground. “What kind of brother...first you spit in my face by allowing Chilles to stay here! You know he is after my son, you know he stole my wife from me! But no that's not all, you actually sleep with my wife! Are you trying to be as bad as he is?” He hit Tyson in his face with his fist.
“Mitchell.” Tyson spit blood off to one side. “I'm sorry.” Mitchell hit him again.
“Your not, you never would have done this in the first place, if you were!” Mitchell hit him twice. “I love her!” He hit him over and over.
“What do you want me to say?” Tyson whispered.
“I don't know! I'm angry at you.”
“I know, what I did was wrong.” Tyson hadn't realized Emily had run for help until two guards and Elanor shown up. “No! Let him finish.” Tyson commanded. “I deserve this.”
“But Tyson...”
“No.” Mitchell hit him again, over and over and over. Then he stood up and walked away.
“Take me to the hospital.” Tyson said before he passed out. He woke up to a consistent beep beep beep. “Emily?”
“Dad? Oh my gosh, dad! I am so sorry. Did I do this?” Kaylee frantically apologized.
“No, Kaylee. There were things that went on that led to my brother hitting me repeatedly.”
“Uncle Mitchell did this to you?”
“Who...What did you think happened to me?”
“I thought you were in the middle of killing yourself and you survived.”
“No! I would never...why didn't Mitchell tell you anything?”
“I don't know what your talking about. He said that you did this to yourself.”
“I see. Where is Emily and Mitchell?”
“Uncle Mitchell is with Elanor and...um...she is with Chilles.”
“Would you get a guard to get her?”
“I can go.”
“No. Get a guard.”
“Alright. I made a promise to...I have plans after this, and now that your awake I can go.” She kissed his forehead. “I promise to visit often, I will be back within a couple of hours.”
“Kaylee, I just woke up. Can't you stay a little longer?”
“I cannot, sorry. I...um...have to go on a date with Prince Michael. I really have been slacking on those and I told him that today would be great, this was, of course, before you were laid up, so...I mean if you really want me to stay...?” She cut herself off.
“No. Go. Please, you need time with Michael.”
“Thank you. Like I said, a few hours max.” She ran out the door. “King Tyson would like you to find Emily. It is urgent. Find a nurse as well, he's awake and I want to make sure his vitals are in peak condition. So, find Emily, get a nurse, send them to his bedside.” With a nod he was off.

“Mitchell, you should go see your brother.” Elanor encouraged.
“I have no brother!” He retaliated.
“He forgave you. When you stole me, he forgave you. You did worse than he did. You took his life, all he did was take one night.” She said softly. She put her head on his shoulder.
“But...I don't get it. If he truly cared for you, he would have done what I did.”
“No. He cared for me, but he loved you. He understood you. How did you begin to trust me after I did what I did?”
“Because I knew that you were afraid.”
“He knew you were hurt. He knows your hurt now. What better time to apologize and admit that you understand, too? If you slept with Emily, would he have done what you did? And at least would he have apologized after you woke up?”
“Fine. I don't need your lecture. I just...he could have done something else. I wonder how Emily feels, was he even going to tell her? Do you know where she is right now? With Chilles. I mean, sure he cheated on her, but...two wrongs don't make a right.”
“Yeah, but two negatives makes a positive.”
“What getting revenge is the right thing to do?” He asked her. “If that is the case, why don't I get revenge? I mean, this entire time I have been pissed with Tyson, but I realize he was only half of what happened. You did it right back to him.”
“Mitchell, I thought you knew.”
“Knew he was going to sleep with my wife?!”
“No. I thought you knew that Tyson is the love of my life. I have always wanted him to do what he did. I know it sucks that I hurt you, I feel terrible, but if that's the worst I have to go through...I happily accept it. I wanted Tyson back. I wanted him to come through that door and say to me that he loved me and he would never leave my side again.”
“Great, no one loves me first. I thought that you were the one thing I had more than Tyson, the one thing I had he wanted. I see now he didn't want you, because otherwise you would be with him right now.”
“Mitchell, it's always been Tyson. I just can't have him. I love you, I really do, but Tyson's always been the one.” He wiped a tear from his cheek.
“The country, you, his kids, even our parents. How many times am I second place?”
“Why are you trying to be picky? Second place is an excellent achievement. Especially on someone's heart.” He took the room in five strides. He stood inches from her face.
“Is that how you feel? He put Emily first on his time line. Do you feel like you have achieved something great, being second? At least you were somebody's first.”
“Mitchell, what about Mira?”
“I never chose her first. It was like you and Tyson. He thought of Emily first, but when he saw somebody he cared about love her, he gave up. I chose you first, but Tyson wanted you. I settled for Mira. A mistake I should never have made.” He grabbed the back of her hair and pulled her to him. He felt her soft sobs, and she could feel his urgency.

“This is so much better than sitting with Michael.” She sighed. “How do you find these places?”
“Army drills. I go places and when I see beauty, I think about how happy you would be to see them.” She stood and looked over the side of the mountain. Her coat catching rock made her feel safe.
“Are you cold at all?” He constantly asked.
“I wasn't five minutes ago, I certainly am not now.” He laughed quietly.
“I was just looking for a reason for you to come off the ledge, so I could hold you close.” She blushed a little.
“You don't need to look for a reason, because you know I do feel a little cold now that you mention it.” She rested on his shoulder, his arms around
