Chapter 65: Chapter 65

Eliana's Point of View

"Hey, Eliana. I am happy you could train with me this evening," Mrs. Smith said as I walked into the training field

"Hello, Mrs. Smith," I replied

"I am not going to lie. I was a little worried Prince Killian wasn't going to let you come and train," Mrs. Smith said

"Why would you think that?" I asked

"Well, to be honest, he doesn't seem to care about the growth of your abilities. I am not talking against him or anything, but he is the werewolf prince and future King. You are his fated mate, which means that he expects you to be his queen. I am sure he is more focused on you becoming the perfect werewolf Queen. Honestly, I am shocked that you are mated to him. You are the future witch queen, and you need to focus on your abilities."

I didn't like the way she was talking about Killian. She seemed not to like that Killian and I were fated mates.

"Mrs. Smith, I can assure you that there is nothing to worry about. Killian cares about my best interests, and that includes me learning how to control my abilities," I said

"I hope I didn't upset you. I was just being honest about my concerns," Mrs. Smith said

"You don't need to worry," I replied

"Hello," I looked up to see Cayson walk into the room. Mrs. Smith looked up as well and had a shocked expression on her face. She was shocked that he was there.

"Prince Cayson, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Smith asked

"I came to help Eliana train," Cayson said

"I forgot to tell you. Cayson volunteered to help me with my training. I thought that would be a good idea. He is my brother and has more experience with controlling his abilities. I hope you don't mind," I said

"Of course not," Mrs. Smith replied, but I could tell she was upset

For the next two hours, I trained. I was happy that Cayson came to help me because he helped a lot. He gave me pointers on ways that can help me stay in control. He taught me more in those two hours than Mrs. Smith would have been able to teach me about control

"Okay, let's go again," Mrs. Smith said. It was a little past eight, and we had been working for two hours.

"I think that is enough. Eliana has been working for about two hours. She shouldn't overdo it. Besides, it is time for dinner," Cayson said

"Okay, we will continue this at the next meeting," Mrs. Smith said

"Okay, goodbye, Mrs. Smith," I said

Bye," Cayson said

"Goodbye," Mrs. Smith said, and we left

"What do you have a taste for?" Cayson said

"I don't know. burgers," I said

"That sounds good," Cayson replied, and he drove to a burger restaurant.

"Thank you for helping me today. Honestly, you helped me out a lot," I said

"Of course. If you want I can keep helping you train," Cayson replied

"I don't want to be a..."

"Eliana, I want to help you. I know dad wants to help you as well," Cayson said, and I stayed silent. "Eliana, I know you are upset at him. I get it. but I can assure you that he has always wanted to get to know you. He really thought he was doing the right thing by staying away from you when you were with Charles. If he would have known you were living a terrible life he wouldn't have let you stay there and Charles would have been punished long ago," Cayson said

"I just can't stop wondering if the only reason he decided to come and meet me is that I am the only one who can take over his kingdom," I said

"I can assure you that is not the case. We all want to get to know you and to be in your life. I already told you that I always wanted to meet you and to have a big sister."

"So you are not upset that I am supposed to take the crown away from you," I said

"It was never mine. The crown was always supposed to be yours. I always knew that. Dad never told anyone else about you because he wanted to keep you safe. You know he has enemies and if they knew that I wasn't the real heir and you were the heiress they might have come and tried to harm you. That is the reason no one else knew about your existence," Cayson said

"I am not sure I will make a good queen," I said

"Trust me you will. It is who you are meant to be. There is no mistaking that," Cayson said. I wasn't sure if he was right about that but I decided not to respond. "Enough about that. I am just happy my little big sister is letting me hang out with her."

"I am your older sister," I said

"Yeah, but you are way smaller than me," Cayson said

"That doesn't matter. I am still the oldest."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Cayson said, and I smiled. One thing I noticed was the difference between him and Lillian. Lilian always thought about herself, but Cayson seemed to care about me

"So has Tiara said anything to you about me?" Cayson asked

"Um, she said that she wanted to take things slow. I know she told you about her bad choices in men. She is worried about stepping into a relationship without getting to know you first," I said

"Yeah, she told me."

"But I can tell she likes you a lot. She is just scared. All you need to do is prove to her that you are a good man," I said

"Okay, I can do that," Cayson said, and I smiled. I knew he would be good to her, and she deserved that. "So what about Killian. Does he treat you right? I know about how he used to live. How he treated other females."

"Yeah, he has been good to me," I replied

"Good. If that changes, just let me know. I will take care of him," Cayson said, and I smiled

It definitely felt good having a brother who cares about my well-being.

Cayson looked behind me and frowned

"What's wrong?" I asked, and I turned to look. As soon as I saw what he was looking at, I frowned as well

Ashley was sitting with a group of people. She was sitting on a man's lap who looked to be in his early thirties.
