Chapter 5

Andrew POV

I walk towards my mate hoping I can have a few minutes alone with her. Fate clearly had other plans with me at that moment.

I only got a few meters when I was stopped by 4 big guys. They looked like royals guards once I got a good look at their clothes.

"Will you please come with us." I guess that was supposed to be a question but it sounded more like a statement to me.

"Can't this wait? I an kind of busy guys." Can't they see I am on a mission here?

"We insist. The kind will like to speak to you."

"Believe me it is in your best interest to go with them, son." I turn around to see the vampire queen standing behind me. Where dod she comes from but most importantly why did the king want to see me.

"Okay, fine let's go." I follow the guards and see the vampire king walking in front of us. Damn these vampires and their speed. He wasn't there a moment ago. They led me towards the throne room.

The guards close the door behind us, while the king went and sits upon his throne. The king has a strong dominating presence radiating from him. The only problem is that it won't work on me since I am a beta in my pack and not a low ranking supernatural.  If I was an ordinary supernatural I would be trembling and co-warding away from him right about now.

"Ah Beta Andrew. How lovely of you to join me?" Is the king-high or what?

"I didn't really have a choice you Majesty."

"Well then let us get straight to the point, shall we? How much do you want? I can pay you any amount to stay away from my daughter." I look at the king confused but I can see he is completely serious.

"I am sorry you Majesty, but I don't completely understand"

"How the hell are you a Beta? Let me spell it out for you. I know you are my daughters' mate but you see we vampire royals only marry other vampires with the same stature and background that we have. We don't want to taint our bloodline and you are a werewolf. I will never allow you to be with my daughter for as long as I live."

I cannot believe the nerve of this guy. We supernaturals wait for our whole lives to find our mate and here he is asking to give up mine before I even got to know her.

"I am sorry your majesty but I can't do that. There is no way I will be able to do that. Tell me how do your mate and your daughter feel about this?"

"How delusional are you son? You see I didn't marry my mate since she was not a vampire and as for my daughter and my son for that matter, they know what is expected of them. Since you don't want to cooperate I think I have something that can sway you to see things my way. Guards, you know what to do."

The king stands up and walks out of the room without even looking back at me. The 4 guards that brought me in are surrounding me now and I know this means nothing good for me.

The first guard storms towards me and I take him out swiftly without even breaking a sweat. The second guard storms towards me but before I could lay a punch the third guard grabs me and holds my arms. The second guard starts landing punches all over. I hear the door open and more guards are rushing in. I see a vampire with a lab coat he walks towards me and I feel a sting in my neck. I look at him and see he is holding up a syringe. I try to turn into my wolf but nothing is happening. All I feel is pain. I try to contact Derric but he doesn't answer either.

"You can try shifting pup but you won't be able to. I just injected you with wolfsbane." He has a menacing glint in his eyes. He starts laughing and walks away.

That is going to be a big problem. You see wolfsbane is the kind of drug that puts your wolf to sleep for an extended period of time. The time is depended on how much wolfsbane you have been given. It also cuts you off from your pack and to sum it up it basically makes you human.

I look our the room and see all the guards now have some kind of weapon in their hands. This is going to hurt like a bitch. This isn't a fair fight but we all know vampires like to play dirty. There is no way I will be able to win this fight without my wolf or my pack by my side.

I see them stalking towards me. Guard number 3 is still holding me still. They all start pounding me with their weapons. I feel a searing pain in my side. I look down and see blood trickling down my side. I see a knife sticking out and realized one of the guards stabbed me. I try to stay conscious but I feel myself slowly losing the battle. I feel myself being consumed by the darkness.

I wake up in a dark room. I hear people talking around me but I can't see anyone. I walk around the room trying to find a door or even a window but there was nothing. I remember the fight and the stab wound but I feel ni pain. How is that even possible.

"Will he be okay Doctor?" I know that voice. That voice is Derric. Why does he sound so worried? I can also hear Emelia crying in the background.

"He will be just fine Alpha. He is currently in a coma. The guard injected him with wolfsbane but I don't know with how much. He is human until his wolf wakes up. So he will only start recovering once his wolf returned. All we can do is wait until he wakes up."

I guess that makes sense. Wait they are talking about me.

"I can hear you guys but I guess you can't hear me since I am in a damn coma."

I look around the room again trying to find a way out and this time I see a wolf in one of the corners. I realize that it is my wolf Fenris laying there. I rush towards him. I try to shake him awake but nothing happens. I fall on my knees. I have never felt so alone in my life. I really hope Fenris wakes up soon. I need to do something to get my mate. I just can't let her down. I can't let her father win, but what if she rejects us. I mean her father did say she knows what is expected of her. I guess we will cross that bridge once we get there. Only time will tell. I can't lose hope now.
