Rayla's pov
Apparently callum's plans where to hang out with me and the only quiet place we could find was the library. "so what was xadia like?" callum asked making me smile "depends on who you ask I suppose...it wasn't a bad place to grow up I really liked it, it's pretty there's something new to be discovered wherever you look" I replied I was laying on the floor and he was laying on the couch. "really? Must have been beautiful" he spoke "yeah it really was.." I whispered "do you miss it? I mean its been a month but do you?" he asked "yeah sometimes, I mostly miss my parents and runaan and ethari" I spoke "they seem like nice people are they actual family?" he asked looking over at me.
Callum's pov
I looked over at her "no their not related by blood but my parents had known them for years so when they left to be on the dragon guard they left me with runann and ethari" she spoke her eyes lighting up as she talked about them "... last time I saw my parents was the wedding" she added the look in her eyes quickly fading " what were they like?" I asked she looked up at me "my parents? Or runann and ethari?" she asked "both" I replied I liked seeing her happy "runnan and ethari are great they can be over protective especially runann but their great" she smile her fangs showing slightly the look in her eyes returned "my parents were amazing I miss my mom the most though mainly because I miss her stories" she spoke "my dad was protective over me because I was his only kid but he was amazing they both were, their the reason I even became an assassin" she added "so how come you don't see them?" I asked "their part of the dragon guard so their work keeps them away from home but they both died in the war" she spoke "I mean its nice not having actual parents sometimes but I do miss them a lot" she was quiet "do you have any stories about them?"I asked looking over at her "not any interesting ones, why do you ask?" she replied "because you look so happy talking about them you get this really dumb smile but it's nice seeing you so happy" I replied "I think they would have been proud of you rayla I soke "thank you callum" she spoke "it's nice actually talking about them most people don't because they don't want to hurt me" she added "I cant imagine" I spoke she only sighed, we fell silent it wasn't uncomfortable we just stayed there for a while before someone came in "prince callum your parents require you presence in the throne room" it was viren "of course" i replied getting up which made rayla get up "just callum" viren spoke "ok..."rayla spoke eyeing me I only gave her a slight nod and she backed down "I think I will escort him I'm his guard" rayla spoke she was defensive- I could tell she was tense and didn't trust viren- viren glared but didn't argue with rayla as she followed me out of the library to head down to the throne room. "Callum" my mother spoke greeting me as I walked in "hi mom" I spoke smiling slightly. My mom looked over at rayla "Please wait outside rayla" she spoke rayla nodded and stepped outside, I walked over to my mom "What's wrong?" I asked curious why she sent rayla away " how everyone has a soulmate?" my mom asked "of course I mom you've told me and ez stories" I spoke "right so then you know that when people meet their soulmates they fall in love fast" my mom spoke, I only nodded at her "well your father and I .......we think it's time to find who is your soulmate" my mom spoke m eyes widened.
Callum sighed softly walking out of the throne room "you ok?" rayla asked looking over at me "uh..well..."I sighed "we need to talk..." I whispered
