"..."

Silence took over them, making Emily only hear her racing heart which was ready to jump out.

She hurriedly pulled away from his embrace. Her face was burning with embarrassment as she realized exactly what she had just done to the man who appeared to be completely taken aback.

"I...I'm...s-sorry.....I did not m-mean to...It was just an accident."

She could no longer look into his eyes as she fumbled with the sleeves of Simon's blazer that she was currently wearing.

It took everything inside the young Prince to calm his soul and body down as he reminded himself that his little mate was still too young for him to lose his control.

He took in a deep breath before he turned to look at the beautiful angel in front of him. A small twitch appeared on his lips as he noticed the redness that was clearly visible on her cheeks.

"No worries. Don't think too much about it. Alright?"

He patted her head lightly which finally made the girl look up at him.

Emily observed his calm expression which made her calm down too. A small smile made its way to her lips as she nodded her head in reply.

"How's your ankle now?" Kaiden asked to change the topic as he pressed his fingers around her ankle to see if she was still feeling any kind of pain or not.

Emily too waited patiently for him to finish his examination before he shook her head as she replied, "It's completely okay now. Thank you."

Kaiden nodded his head as he stood up and took a seat beside her on the bench. The two of them remained silent for the next few seconds before Emily decided to ask one of the questions that had been lurking in her mind for quite some time by now.

"Umm...You...you have healing powers, right?"

She turned her face towards the handsome man as she waited for him to answer.

A smile made its way to Kaiden's lips as he turned to face the girl as he tilted his head towards the right as he observed her in silence before finally nodding in reply to her question.

Even though Emily already had her doubts but she still was taken by surprise when she saw him answering positively.

"It's such a cool and unique power." She muttered softly as she looked up at the night sky which was filled with millions of shining stars, however, there was no moon visible. It was probably hidden behind the dark clouds that she could see at some distance.

"You think so?"

Kaiden's question pulled her attention back towards the man who appeared just as harmless at that moment as he was deadly in reality.

"Mmhmm."

She immediately nodded her head in reply to his question.

"I think having healing powers is one of the greatest gifts that any supernatural can ever have. It's not only good for him/her but if used correctly, this power can be a boon for so many people."

Emily elaborated her thoughts as she looked at her ankle which was supposed to be injured but was as normal and perfect as it could.

A small smile appeared on Kaiden lips. However, she noticed that it did not reach his alluring cerulean eyes.

He let out a soft sigh as he spoke, "But I don't use my power to heal others."

The both of them fell into a short silence which was finally broken by Emily as she spoke, "You used it to heal me."

She was not expecting him to chuckle as he shook his head as he said, "That's because you are different from others."

"How?" She could not help but ask as soon as her mind registered his words.

Kaiser looked at her for a few seconds before he answered, "Because you are special...you are my.....friend."

To say that she was left shocked by his words would be an understatement. She could feel a warm feeling surrounding her heart at his words.

He made her remember the day when the two of them met at the cafe in the neutral zone and he offered her his friendship.

The past few months which she spent without merging him even for once, made her completely forget about their newly formed friend bond.

"Well...It's probably my good luck to have you as my friend, Mr. Sullivan."

"You should stop calling me that." Kaiden could not help but point out as he felt a little bit sad when she refused to say his name.

"Huh? Sorry?"

Emily was completely clueless for a few seconds before the realization dawned over her.

"Oh! Yeah, right...Kaiden."

Emily felt his name slipping through her lips. It was almost like she tasted the feeling of his name in her mouth for the very first time, or maybe it was not really the first time.

But it still felt different. It felt so right and good as if she was supposed to say his name out loud again and again.

And the young Prince was just as happy as he was trying to not appear in front of her. His soul and heart filled with so much joy just by hearing his name rolling out from her tongue.

However, he maintained his calm exterior pretty well as he nodded his head in acknowledgment of her correction to her previous mistake.

"Am I interrupting or something?"

The sudden teasing voice that appeared out of nowhere, pulled both Kaiden and Emily's attention towards Shadow who was standing behind them while he held a pair of slippers in his hands.

Emily immediately recognized her favorite bunny slippers. A huge smile appeared on her lips as she watched her bodyguard making his way towards the bench where she was sitting along with Kaiden.

"I think you knew the answer pretty well," Kaiden replied to Shadow's question as he stood up to take the slippers from him.

However, Kaiden paid him no attention as he crouched down in front of Emily and helped her get rid of the heels before he slipped the slippers in place.

"Thank you," Emily whispered to him as she felt her feet relaxing and surrounded by the warmth of the fluffy slippers.

"Where were you all this time? I did not see you anywhere in the hall. Were you..........YOU ARE HURT!"

Emily was shocked as she looked at his hands which were covered in blood. There were cuts all over the back of his hand and as he tried to pull his hand away to hide them, she stopped him immediately as she took hold of both of his wrists.

"What happened? How did you get hurt? We should call Sa....I-I mean you need to get these....."

While she was busy babbling, she found herself trailing off when her eyes noticed how his cuts were healing on their own.

One by one all the cuts closed off and any trace of blood disappeared from her view, making his hands appear as normal and healthy as they ever could be.

She let go of his hands before her eyes moved up to look at the Supernatural with questions filled in them.

She found him smiling softly as he spoke, "I'm one of those supernaturals who can heal themselves. There's no need to worry or call a doctor."

He patted her head lightly before he stood up and looked around the garden to spot something that was totally unknown to her.

"You could have healed them before you came here. No need to scare her like that." Kaiden could not help but comment as he glared at the man who was suddenly appearing as the second male lead of the story in which he, Kaiden, was supposed to be the main lead along with his angel as the female lead.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, my dear Prince. I was too busy taking care of the task that I was assigned to finish. It never occurred to me that I've hurt my hands in the process."

If Shadow was supposed to stay silent and not reply with a perfect comeback, then Kaiden was definitely in for a disappointment.

"Is it done?" Maiden asked as he completely ignored his attempt of defending himself. His entire focus was now on the task that Shadow had promised to complete.

Shadow did not reply immediately as he took out his phone and started typing something. Soon enough, a message alert was heard and Kaiden took out his phone to check the message that was probably sent by none other than Shadow.

Whatever he saw or read in that message made an evil smile appear on Kaiden's lips. It was definitely not a smile that Emily was used to seeing.

She was totally taken by surprise after seeing the secret conversation that took place between Shadow and Kaiden in front of her very eyes.

Both the handsome men held a glint of evilness in their enchanting eyes as they appeared to be happy because of something.

Exactly what was going on?
