Kiara sighed as she wrapped her arms around Zane's neck and stared up at the sky.
“I'm sad that we don't have enough time to explore the garden. I heard it's very beautiful in the day time" She murmured then turned to him. Zane leaned forward and blew away the strand of her hair that fell on her face before kissing her nose.
“We can always come back tomorrow" She sighed then shook her head.
“We have five days left here and I don't want to waste it by visiting the same place twice" She murmured and he nodded.
“Don't worry, tomorrow we are going somewhere that you may just like more than this Castle" She raised an eyebrow.
“I don't think that's possible" He chuckled.
“Trust me, it is" She stared at him for a while then let out a smile.
“Thank you for this experience. I'm never going to forget it and now, I get to brag to people that I was a Queen for a day… well I only have Heather and she won't really care but I'll force her to care" Zane tilted his head.
“You can brag to me and I'll pretend like I wasn't with you the whole time" She giggled.
“I'll take you up on that offer" She murmured then rested her head on his shoulder then let out a sigh.
“I'm tired, let's go back to the hotel" Zane nodded then held her closer before walking back into the castle.
Kiara smiled as soon as she saw those men and the ladies that acted like her maids.
“Thank you, you all contributed to the experience and I'll never forget it" They smiled then bowed their heads at her.
“You're welcome Mademoiselle and we had a great time as well. Do well to come back" She nodded.
“I will" After that, the men escorted them to their car then they all said their goodbyes before Zane carefully climbed into the backseat with Kiara in his arms. He made sure she was positioned comfortably before the driver drove off.
On the drive back to the hotel, Kiara snuggled into Zane's chest as a wave of sleep slapped her across the face. She was extremely tired and couldn't even keep her eyes open anymore but it was definitely worth it. She couldn't even wait for what Zane had in store for them tomorrow.
By the time they got to the hotel, Kiara was fast asleep on Zane's chest and because her gown was so puffy, it was very difficult to get out of the car with her in his arms but with help of the driver, Zane was able to get out of the car and he immediately carried Kiara up to the penthouse.
Everyone's eyes were on them as he walked to the elevator but his sole attention was on the sleeping beauty in his arms. He smiled slightly as he remembered how she would be seated at the front porch of the pack house, waiting for him to come back for a meeting or pack duty. She would be fast asleep by the time he saw her so he would carry her in his arms the same way and take her up to his room while she snuggled his chest like she was doing now.
He was glad to know that some things never change.
