My Rebirth as an alien Queen

Episode 17-want and desire.

The memory stung and it made me numb, Hero had to call my name to draw me out of my traumatizing past.

"Are you alright?" Hero asked worriedly and I forced him a smile.

"Just...recall few things" I confessed as his gaze pressed me to talk.

"Come" Hero urged leading me towards

the runway was different Ghafils were working, they all had a dirty brown gown on and they seem to grow conscious of Hero's presence as time passes. They all made a respectful bow on courtesy as Hero pass by them and lead me deeper towards where other ships were but these ships seem to be busy, Ghafils were using machines to unload packages from the ships and there seems to be someone directing the activities going on. On seeing Hero the Ghafil ran with few others behind him to pay respect and welcome his presence.

"My lord...what has brought you here?" The Ghafil in charge asked as he arrived in front of Hero bowing until his back was straight and flat.

"Rise, I came to explore with the Queen...continue your work" Hero politely ordered and the man lifted himself slowly nodding and returning to work while Hero and I continue to walk around the place, I was quite certain the place was bigger than the biggest airport in the world, after walking to few amazing place in the place, my legs started to feel sore and I could hardly walk properly, I tried my best to hide it but Hero still seems to notice because while I was distracted talking about the lone ship that can carry just one passenger to earth with him after he showed me the amazing dome-shaped single passenger aircraft when he suddenly lifted me into his arms bridal style, earning a gasp from me.

"Seriously Hero?" I was flushed by his sudden action probably because it came as a surprise.

"Your legs must have been sore by now...we've been walking for hours" He guessed and I couldn't deny it anymore that I was floored by his caring and manly action, Hero alone with me in his hands returned me back to our carriage spot despite the distance to were we were, he didn't wince nor show any sign of fatigue as he walked back talking like I weigh nothing in his arms, I couldn't take my eyes off him and he didn't seem to notice me staring until we were almost at the carriage.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked and I could sense his inconvenience, I don't know if Hero was trying to make me fall in love with him or that's just how he is, my heart started its strange beating again and I was tempted to squeeze it through my skin.

"Nothing" I managed to say looking elsewhere.

I've gone through a lot and didn't have a chance at romance, the closest I was to romance was when I'd returned to the past with the boy I loved, we had loved each other throughout the fight to keep our world, it had been amazing with him and I wished for something like that again but I never imagined it with Hero, I mean Hero is a freaking alien with a f*****g tail, I never imagined myself with him until now when my heart seems to be acting crazy around him, there was nothing more confusing than that.

I would have been grossed out if anyone had told me I'll kiss a Ghafil but right now, I seem to anticipate it, I seem anxious about it and obviously hungry for it. I was going insane...so, to give me a space to think, I requested a free environment to rest from Hero and he granted it immediately, but...it didn't work. My mind was in turmoil and I didn't know what to do...being together with a Ghafil goes against everything I stand for.

I had no idea the stress my brain was going through was going to affect my actions. When I joined Hero for lunch, my mind was still a mess and I couldn't concentrate on what Hero was saying, flashes of my past came fast into my view, and memories of Hero dying and me kissing him also surfaced leading to a massive energy explosion from me. My body emitted a wave of energy that broke everything around, it sent Hero flying away from his chair and servants flying across the room. I couldn't believe my eyes at the mess I caused after the storm was over. I rushed to help Hero to his feet apologizing over and over again.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know...I'm so sorry Hero, I'm so sorry" I repeated countless times as I helped Hero up but he had a worried look on his face instead of anger which baffles me.

"Your emotions...is something wrong Claire?" Hero seems to be worried about me.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I tried to lie but Hero knew my body better than I do.

"You're mentally stressed Claire, a lot of things are going through your mind and your emotions are unstable that's the only explanation for what happened" Hero stated and I sighed.

"I...I'm just going through a hard time that's all...I'll be okay" I hoped but Hero's face still held worries.

"You're not thinking about killing yourself again are you?" Hero worried and I chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'm actually going to give this life a chance" I assured and Hero sighed in relief.

We turned back and we saw servants had already got to work on cleaning up the mess I created and I felt guilty about it.

"Do you want me to teach you how to control your powers?" Hero offered and I smiled suddenly excited.

"I'll be glad" I grinned and Hero lead me down the hallway that leads to the garden he had brought me when he first taught me how to imitate others' nature.

"Our powers are genetic and are a great part of us, it's something special about us so, you have to feel it as part of you" Hero started his lectures but I seem interested in his little dark green lips than his discussion. I knew something is going on with me but I couldn't tell what.

"You have to be able to feel the power running through you, you have to feel it and believe in it...only then will you be able to control it. Since you've learned how to use it on your own, I guess it's just how to control it that's the problem" I can't bring myself to concentrate on what he was saying because I was busy fantasizing about us kissing. Hero seems to have noticed my distraction so he called my name.

"Claire, is something wrong?" He questioned to ensure I was fine so what happened a while ago didn't reoccur. I cleared my throat and search for an answer to give.

"I...I'm fine, I'm just so...nervous about this" I lied and Hero smiled.

"You're going to be fine Claire, I learned how to control my first ability when I was pretty young since I was trying hard to prove myself but when my heart was returned to me, it took me a while to get used to this new power I was given...I'm sure you'll learn too" I smiled in appreciation recalling how Hero's real ability was stolen when he was young.

The heir to the throne was known by his ability and that ability came from their heart, learning that his step-mother had exchanged his heart with his son's when Hero was very young, no one knew until they came to earth. We had no idea what happened in their past until I came up with the idea of exchanging the ex-prince heart to Hero's because it was the only way to stop them, if Hero could gain the ex-prince abilities, he would be able to save both his people and mine, it was after we had successfully done that, that will realize the heart exchanged had always been Hero's. It was his stepmother that had taken it from him stealing his ability in the process.

Apparently, he had gotten used to his first ability, which came with the heart he grew up with, but it looked to me now that he also had a hard time adapting to the ability that came with his real heart.

"So" Hero's voice brought me back to the present but it wasn't exactly what was at hand because I was still distracted by his enticing lips.

"Except that day, have you tried using your powers again?" Hero asked looking back at me since he had been distracted by the view in front of us, but he jolted in surprise when he saw me ridiculously close to him.

"You startled me" He laughed awkwardly but the laugh was caught off when I close the distance between us wanting to get a taste of his good-looking lips, I tried to stop myself but I couldn't, I realized he was taller than me only then so I had to stand on my toes to catch his lips in mine enjoying the pleasure that flared up afterward.

I moaned enjoying the taste of his lips in mine and wanting more of it, I slid my long tongue into his mouth and let me fight his tongue earning a moan from him as well, but for some reason, his sound flicked on this uncontrollable desire that made my insides clenched in anticipation. Hero lowered himself to my height and cupped my waist as he enjoyed the feel of touch.

There was nothing I wanted more than for him to quench the fire of want and desire that I've been fighting since I found out that I was his wife. I started to look for the hooks and buttons of his long mantle, I wanted it off...one thing was certain, I didn't know what I was doing.
