Born To Rule
Chapter 20:

Early morning Rose’s bedroom in her dream

Vilkas: “I love you. Until we meet again, my flower.”

In Rose’s head: Vilkas…

Amara: “Luna Rose…are you okay? Was it that dream again?”

Rose: “I can't go on keeping this secret from him any longer. I need to tell Malik the truth.”

In Rose’s head: Where are you, Malik? (meanwhile in the beach house)

In Malik’s head: I'll never get tired of holding you.

Malik’s Wolf: “Too bad that this is our last day with mate before going back.”

In Malik’s head: You’re right, Noctis. We need to make the most of it.

In Accalia’s head: Malik? (in the bathroom)

Malik: “Are you just gonna stand there laughing at me or are you gonna join me?”

Accalia: “This is nice.”

Malik: “Does this win me some brownie points?”

Accalia: “It does indeed.”

Malik: “What's wrong?”

Accalia: “I can't believe today is our last full day already. I loved having you to myself.”

Malik: “Good thing the day isn't over yet.”

Accalia: “Very true.”

Malik: “Accalia…what are you doing?”

Accalia: “Giving you those brownie points I owe you. (on the boardwalk - Malik growls)”

Accalia’s Mindlink: “Jealous much.”

In Isabella’s head: Great. Where are all the hot guys?! Jackpot.

Accalia: “You have two seconds to stop staring at my mate or I'll claw your face off.”

Malik: “Look who's jealous now.”

Accalia: “Shut up.”

In Accalia’s head: I think it's safe to say that me and Malik have some jealousy issues that we need to work on. (at the club)

Malik: “What's wrong?”

Accalia: “Remember what happened the last time I went clubbing?”

Malik: “That was then and this is now and I won't leave your side the whole night, I promise.”

Accalia: “I don't deserve you.”

Malik: “Nonsense. Now dance with me.”

In Accalia’s head: Malik had a way of making everyone else fade into the background. Like we were the only two souls left in the room. You would've thought that after all these months, his touch would’ve become familiar but the feeling only intensifies. My sense is become heightened. My heart becomes overwhelmed. Was it possible to be this addicted to another's touch?

Malik: “I told you not to have that last cocktail.”

Accalia: “But it looked so delicious. One more serious note, I could've drank another.”

Malik’s Wolf: “Our mate is an animal.”

Malik: “At least you don't look as bad as that guy.”

Coleton: “Please babe, no more clubs. My feet can't take it.”

Ruth: “I didn't realize I was in a relationship with a grandpa.”

Coleton: “For your information, I'm the best looking grandpa.”

Ruth: “I'm not ready to go home yet.”

Coleton: “Brother, please. Save me.”

Malik: “I'm kind of having problems of my own.”

Accalia: “WEEE!!

Ruth: “Finally, someone on my wavelength. Do you guys wanna join us? There's this amazing Lounge Bar just around the corner.”

Accalia: “That sounds amazing. Malik?”

Malik: “I'm not sure.”

Coleton: “Don't you dare leave me!!”

Malik: “Fine. But only for one drink.”

Ruth: “Let's go then!!”

Coleton: “It's not gonna be one drink, you know that right?”

In Malik’s head: Trust me, I know.

Accalia: “This place is amazing.”

Malik: “Not bad.”

Ruth: “My friend owns the place. Speaking of, she should be around here somewhere. Hey Mi!!”

Mi: “What’s up, Ruth?”

Ruth: “I hope you don't mind, I brought some new friends.”

Mi: “Of course not. The more the merrier.”

Accalia: “Sorry to be a pain but where are the bathroom?”

Mi: “Right this way. So what brings you to Greece?”

Accalia: “My boyfriend surprised me with the tickets.”

Mi: “Cute. That's a strange mark on your eye.”

Accalia: “I, uh…was born with it.”

Mi: “Mhm.”

Accalia: “I better go get back to Malik. (Ruth punches Accalia)”

Malik: “Did you hear that?”

Coleton: “Hear what?”

Malik: “I'm gonna go check on Accalia. (Coleton punches Malik - Kirima’s home)”

Akna: “Anaana?! Something terrible has happened.”

Yura: “I know. You know what has to be done.”

Akna: “I understand. (Akna’s eyes turn purple). Milena?! Milena, can you hear me?!”

Milena: “Hello?”

Akna: “I need you to listen to me very carefully.”

Milena: “Who are you?!”

Akna: “Who I am isn't important. However, I bring grave news. Accalia is in mortal danger.”

Milena: “What do you need me to do?”

Akna: “I'll be with you every step of the way. You need to pack a bag and leave immediately.”

Milena: “Okay.”

In Milena’s head: Don’t worry, Accalia. I'm coming. (Gunner watches)
