Chapter 34 Forbidden

• Mia took a walk in the Palace garden and a guard stayed by her side because the alpha king was being extra careful. She had gotten closer to Robb in the past couple or weeks and Xavier didn’t like that. This was his way of playing the part of a good husband and keeping an eye on her. She made a promise to stick with their agreement until the end and she hoped to keep it. She wasn’t leaving, but the king didn’t know that and if he did; he didn’t believe it.
• Xavier’s anxiety didn’t go away, particularly the one towards his father. Mia saw how much it affected him when everyone was away and the charade ended. He had happy days, but those days didn't last long.
• She didn’t want to pity him, but watching him put so much effort into pleasing his father just to get his approval felt horrible. He didn’t trust her either. He had a hard time trusting anyone because he expected the worse from everybody and believed they were all out against him. Not everyone was his father and cousin, but they were to him.
