Chapter 15
There was nothing that I could think that helped to reassure my roiling mind. I had no way to explain how Alexander had come to be in procession of my portrait. Or how it ended up the hidden drawer of his desk.
We had never met before, of that, I was sure.
So how did he come to have it?
It was obvious that he had not looked at the item in question for some time, based off of the amount of undisturbed dust that was gathered there. But it was still there.
A shiver ran down my spin, and fear sparked in the pit of my stomach.
Had he known I would come this whole time. Was he expecting me to arrive? No surely that couldn’t be the case. He was so cold towards me when we met in the throne room.
If anything, he seemed annoyed I was there at all.
I twirled the locket in my hand, in concentration. Trying to piece together the pieces or my fragmented mind.
There was only one way to settle any of this, and that was to ask Alexander

Three days in solitude. Three. Days. And the only people I had seen during that period was Maddison and Alice who came each morning and evening to get me changed. And a serving girl at mealtimes to drop off food, who I found out this morning was named Nancy. Like the two sisters, Nancy barely looked in my direction, and quickly scuttled away as soon as she had dropped off the food. I felt bored for the first time in my life. A feeling which I hated. I was much to used to being the keeper of my own time. Freedom was something that I had taken for granted until I now. I had already exhausted the collection of books that Alexander kept in the small wooden bookcase in the living area on the first floor. I had completely rearranged the furniture of the round room and then put it all back again out of sheer boredom. I had “accidentally” thrown the bear skin rug out of the window, purely because its glassy eyes and sharp teeth gave me the heeb

“Walker? Your mother was a walker?” Disbelief evident in my voice. He looked back towards me with a frown. “What of it?” “It’s nothing, it’s just that I had no idea that the Walker family were such an ancient one.” I sat back in my chair with a slump, the thought that Alison, Drake’s mate, was a part of the same family tree as Alexander’s mother was making my head spin. “It’s late,” Alexander stood up, his body casting a long shadow on the ground. If he had taken note about my comment regarding his mother’s family history, he didn’t show it. Alexander looked down at me, his eyes squinted as he watched me, his fingers fiddling the locket in his hands. “It’s time for bed.” He turned on his heels and began to make for the stairs, leaving me unsure as to what to do. Should I follow him? Or should I just sleep here, in the relative comfort of my own space, regardless of how uncomfortable a bed the lumpy cushions of the armchair made. I had

I woke wrapped in what felt like a blanket of heat almost suffocating me. Heavy limbs were wrapped around my legs and an arm draped over my torso. Tingling lingered under the surface of my skin where my body touched with that of Alexander. The source of the heat was not coming from him though, it was coming from inside me. Starting in the pit of my stomach and radiating around my body like fire running through my veins. Desperate for the toilet, I try my best to untangle myself from his embrace, only to be pulled in closer into his chest, which did nothing to help the heat flooding my system. Finally disentangling myself from Alexanders embrace I move to find the chamber pot, only to catch myself when my head burst with pain and my legs began to give way beneath me. It was my wolf, she began to stir within me, a feeling I had not grown accustomed too. She was always very much a subliminal being that lingered in the back of my thoughts, guiding me thro

The silence stretched out before us. I dare not move as I silently plead with my wolf, apologising for pushing her away. When Alexander spoke again, his voice was rigid, like he had been fighting an internal battle just as I had. “You have spent enough time wallowing up here like some damsel in distress. It is time for you to make yourself known to my people.” He spoke over his shoulders, his eyes still watching the burning flames in the grate. “There will be certain expectations of you Rosalie.” He continued, “You will behave in a manner fit for a lady. You will not question my authority in front of my people. And above all, you will remain in sight of either me, or my beta Arthur. “As the Queen of the werewolf kingdom, you will be expected to choose ladies in waiting to attend to you. You will be presented with the m

Morning came, and so did Maddison and Alice. Having taken stock of my shredded red dress, the girls produced a new one. A green velvet, with gold laces and embellishment across the bodice. It was altogether regal. The girls remain quite as they laced me up and dressed me for the day ahead. I was now more determined than ever to leave this place and find my way back to my own time and loving embrace of my own people. Walking with determination, I follow my guard down to the throne room. The distant sound of chatter vibrating along the solid stone corridors. The closer the throne room we came, the louder that the noise grew, until eventually the heavy wooden door was swung open and I found myself face to face with hundreds of faces of my new subjects. The room fell silent as every one of them took me in. The only sound coming from my mate sat on his over large throne talking to a woman next to him. At first, I did not notice the tall fig

After the morning meeting with Estelle, Alexander, perhaps wisely, thought it better to place the burden of helping me choose my ladies to someone else. An older lady names Agatha, who was far too old to be of any direct threat to me. Much to my disgust, Estelle was still to be included in my court. The idea of which had my teeth on edge. To my relief, Estelle rarely graced us with her presence. And the few times that she did, it was merely for appearance before slipping away. I had no deception to know that she was most likely slipping away to find my mate, and as much as I disliked the idea that she was still trying to win her way into his affections. I also knew that I would not be around long enough for it to matter. Between Agatha and myself, we selected a small group of women, ten in total. All of which were around my age. Some mated, others were not. All were from noble families across England and Europe. I had been informed that selecting wolves from t

“Alexander is not an only child, did you know that?” she asked me, picking at the blades of grass around her legs. “No, I didn’t.” “Well, he was actually the youngest of three. He had an elder brother and sister. Elena and Thomas. Thomas was set to be the next Alpha King, it was never meant for Alexander. So as a child he didn’t really have many burdens on his shoulders. He was free to make friends and chase about the castle walls with us all. “That is how I know my way around so well; we would forever be playing through these halls. Hiding in the nooks and crannies playing hide and seek. Our favourite game was hiding from Alex’s nannie. She would forever be pulling out her hair looking for him, and she never once discovered us.” Lucille paused for a moment looking into the distant remembering the past mischief they would get into, laughing at her own memory. “He was by far the most handsome of the group. But then if you had seen his parents then you

With the residual thoughts of what would become of the future Black family lingering in my mind, the rest of the day went by in a dreary haze. The fact of the matter was I had no idea what would happen to the Black family. When Granny Lou told me the story of the Last Alpha King, she never specified who his Queen was. In fact, now I come to think of it, I wasn’t even sure of when the events of the story were set to take place. She said that the King was hard and ruthless, well I can see that for myself. She also said that Alexander softened with time, and I am yet to see any evidence of that happening. Maybe her story was just that. A story. Surely there was no credence to her words? I was jolted out of my ponderings to the door of our quarters slamming open, and a very drunk Alexander sauntering through it. Trying, and failing to stand straight on his own feet, he takes one step forward only to crash into a sideboard resting to the side of the door.
