Chapter 55 the Four Knights…. Prince Alexei (7)
Prince Alexei POV continuation
As days goes by, Isabele and I contacted the Manzini's and di Luchusesi but only Rosela is available for the moment because her older brother Xavier is still in a mission since he is the youngest general of our country. Lady Scarlet trained Luna in fashion, judo, target shooting, and Tai chi. While Francois taught her aikido, diving, horseback riding and drag racing. And since my sister Isabele is a gold medalist in Olympics for ballroom dancing, she taught the Moon when it comes to dances, Amber taught her when it comes to computer hacking skills and Marco taught her the way to a man's heart….. Yes…. They've become so close because of cooking and baking. We've learned that she has a great knowledge when it comes to arts and crafts, music and food. While me….. I taught her in medicine side….. Poison making… antidote making and such other things that the HADES people must learned. She is a fast learner and she devote her time when we are teaching her…..
Then the day came that we need to involve her to a mission wherein we need all to perform it with extreme caution. We didn't know that a mole was planted to our organization and the mission was been burned out to our enemy….. They knew who are the people involve to it except for Luna….. Not all people in HADES encountered her yet…. When someone fired his gun to me Luna rushed to my side then embrace me…. she took the bullet for me and that's the day I fell in love with her….. I never thought in my entire life that I'll meet someone as strong as she was; then Francois mind snapped when he saw what happened, that was also the time we've seen the beast in him. And that was also the time that I felt nervous when it comes to save a patient. Luna is staring to my eyes but still she is smiling… Francois annihilate the whole group with the help of Ryder and Dimitri, they've started to panic for all we know that Luna has a mild hemophilia and she needs a transfusion immediately and lucky we are in a town that my sister have connections. I've save Luna that time just like she have save me….. She is everything to me….. Luna is my all….
She was still recovering from her gunshot wound when I confess to her….. My sister already knew what I feel for her and I want to make it fast to confess to her…. I knew that Marco has a big crush on her. "Luna….. You to me are everything" I told her….. As I hold her hand inside the VVIP Ward and I was crying, "Please don't risk your life to me again Moon, I will die when you do that again" I added. "Lexi…. Are confessing to me?" she ask me…. I just nodded. She smiled to me sweetly. "Lexi, I love you…. But the love I feel for you is a brother – sister love, I'm sorry… it's just that I'm not ready to get involve in heart relationships yet" Luna explained to me and I understood because I….. Actually we already knew her history.
"I will wait for you Moon…. if it takes forever I will gladly do it, but I hope our relationship that we have already built as friends won't change after this" I informed her and she smiled to me. "Lexi…. If you hear the song Ain't no Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye….. That's my song for you…. For our friendship" Luna told me.
From then on... I treat hear very special to my life…. I know she can give her life for me and even for the rest of us because she really treat us her own family…. And because of her the HADES ORGANIZATION becomes one big family….. A family that no one lefts behind...

BACK TO REALITY
A knock brought Alexei to his senses….. He opens it and he saw his sister Isabele. "Can I come in Lex?" she ask me and I nodded. "Are you okay?" she ask me again with a worried face. "Yes, I'm okay….. Don't ask me for further questions Belle….. I'm not yet in the mood for anything right now" I informed her as I know that she will ask for my reaction to the proposal just happened. "But I'm happy for the outcome of the proposal Belle…. Now that Luna has already opened her heart for someone and that someone is one of the knights I'm still happy for them…. For her…. And it will not stop me for loving her….. And don't worry about it... Francois knows about this". I gently told her as I hug my only sister. "I just hope that you will also open you heart to someone Lex… Just Luna did…. And I know you will find someone who will be just like Luna... the one who can tame you" she said to me.
I smiled for I know how worried my sister is…. I knew that Luna is also worried for me and I also knew that she is plotting something for me; when I see her smile at me a while ago I know already that she will be my Ms. Cupid one of this days….
After my small conversation with my sister, we call it the night. The music on my laptop is still playing then Luna's song for me played; I knew that this song is really meant for us…. she set me free….. Set me free from my character of being the handsome playboy to a more mature and serious gentleman that every woman dreamed on. Then I've realize that I'm holding to the pendant of the necklace that I'm wearing, yes she gave me a necklace that symbolizes our friendship; a necklace with a dream catcher pendant. Since the day she gave me this necklace… I never took it off to my body… this is my priceless possession….just like our relationship of being friends…. My priceless possession; the I sing the song , our song I didn't realize that I was too loud for others to hear.
Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Listen baby, ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are
No matter how far don't worry baby
Just call my name I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day on, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way, some how
'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Oh no darling
No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby, na na baby
'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Don't cha know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
Ain't mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
After my little concert I've received a text message from Francois stating that "Don't worry, I won't hurt her nor break her heart. Thank you my friend for your help". I smiled as I read those lines. Then another message came up and now it comes from her….
"Lexi…. Love is not a single act, but a climate in which we live; a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering, and growing. It is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress. Love is a climate of the heart". I chuckled as she still speaking in puzzles again….
