Chapter 30
My afternoon with Alexander had left me shaken. I wasn’t sure how I felt about his confession. A part of me understood his admittance of not being able to give me his heart. After all, I didn’t love him, if anything I hated him. I was trying my best to get away from him.
The mate bond would only go so far before real feelings have to come into the situation. The bond planted the seeds of emotion into your soul, how deep that connection grew was up to you and the one you were destined for. For most, the pull of the bond was irresistible. But for some, like us, the pull was only too easy to resist. For Alexander, he had built up a wall that was much too high to scale since his family’s death. For me, it was more the way Alexander was that made me question our compatibility. That, and the fact I was not meant to live in this time. I had a home, a family and even a man waiting for me back home. There was nothing about Alexander’s world that drew me to stay.

I waited, what felt like an eternity until the sun finally disappeared past the horizon. And then waited some more until the crescent moon was high in the sky casting the world into a gloomy haze below it. The rain had stopped, which I was thankful for. But I knew that the trek to the stones would be long and cold and muddy underfoot. I had spent the rest of the afternoon preparing myself for my journey. Gathering together some small measure of food, and warm clothes. I knew the distance was not far, but I also knew that the landscape would be somewhat different since I left my own time. For most of the journey that I had first taken to castle black all those weeks ago, I only remembered the general direction we took, the finer details like memorising landmarks and knowing which path we took were nothing but a blur. It was going to take time to find the stones. I was thankful that Alexander had chosen tonight to not come back to the room at all. I was careful to hide

I woke up in a dark dingy room. The smell of decay and dirt all around me. I was sat in what I could only imagine to be a bog. My cell was little more than a hole in the ground, with bars above me to prevent me from getting out and little to stop the rain from falling in. The ground was so wet, that it had formed a mud bath beneath me. Mud had worked its way everywhere. It clung to my skin and under my nails. Much to my delight, it was once again raining. I was soaked through and freezing cold. Pulling my winter cloak around me tighter, I tried and failed to try and find some sense of warmth to stop my teeth from chattering, but there was none to be found. It was still night, the dark sky visible above me, with the small shimmering signs of stars still clear to be seen. Standing from my seated position, I drew myself up and tried to look out through the bars and work out where I was. The bars were too high above me for me to reach and pull myse

Alexander She was gone. She was really gone. I didn’t believe it when Arthur appeared in my study panting, and with a wild look in his eyes. The first sign something was not right was the unconscious guard sprawled out across the back entrance to the kitchens. But when Lucille discovered that Rosalie was not in her bedchamber, or even out on the terrace, she went directly to Arthur to confirm what she had suspected in her own heart, that Rosalie had run away in the night. A thorough search of the castle and grounds confirmed that she was in fact gone. And what’s worse is that no one had any idea of where she may have disappeared too. Even Lucille, who had been her constant companion for the last fortnight, had no idea that she planned to run away. She hadn’t even managed to get any of her back story out of her. No one knew where Rosalie had come from, or even who her people were

Alexander “My blood?” I questioned. “It is the closest thing that we have to a connection to her,” Estelle began to explain, “Usually, the blood of a family member is preferred. The blood tie helps the spell to work. But in this case, the blood of her mate will have to do.” “Very well, make your preparations. I will attempt to find something of Rosalie’s.” Estelle’s sad eyes drifted away as she set about gathering the things she would need for her spell. I mind linked Arthur to get a progress update. “There is still no trace of her Alex. Last night’s rain has washed away any trace of her scent. I have sent the pack warriors over to the western borders to see if there is anything to be found there.” “There is no way or out on the western boarders. Nothing but some old siege tunnels which were locked up years ago. She would have had nowhere to go from there.” Another piece of my soul darkened at the thought that my mate

“She knew what Alex?” Lucille questioned; her brow furrowed in confusion. “You’re making no sense Alex.” “This bracelet, it was made for my mother by my father. It came as a set. A crown, bracelet, ring and necklace… My father instructed the smith to make the set out of gold that was housed here in the castle vaults. It is said that the gold was imbued with magic. Powerful magic. The ring became the signet of the Queen. A rose on a bed of thorns. The necklace is said to offer the wearer protection, the crown guidance and the bracelet…..” I held up the small item in my hand, “the bracelet is the key to the castle. It is a dead key, unlocking every door. “My father made it so that if the castle ever came under siege, my mother would have a way of escaping. It was his way of keeping his Queen protected. Only it never helped when the time came for it. Not even her necklace was enough to protect her.” I looked down at Lucille, my vision clouding with the memories of the c

Rosalie Standing knee deep in thick black sludgy water was definitely not my idea of good time, especially when said sludgy water happened to be at the bottom of a deep, confined hole in the ground that was to be my prison cell. The water was rising fast, and William was in no rush to let me out. His attitude to the situation was that it was one less thing for him to have to do if I drowned before he had to kill me. I was cold, wet and miserable. And my misery only intensified as the day trudged on and my mind became more firmly set on the idea that there was no way that Alexander would be coming to find me. A thought which did little to cheer me, but honest none the less. He probably looked at the situation much the same way as his uncle; that it saved him a job at the end of the day. I only had myself to blame really. I was the one who left the relative safety of Castle Black. As much as I disliked Alexander in general and h

“Are you ready to listen to it?” he asked me, a question in his voice. Was I? I wasn’t sure I wanted to sit here and listen to his excuses for why he committed the atrocities that he did. But I was cold and needed something to take my mind off the numbness in my feet and hands. “I have nothing but time William. And I have no hope that sleep will visit me any time soon, so why not” I reply in resignation, sitting back on a small stump of wood and getting ready for whatever William was about to tell me. “Did you know that it was me that was meant to me King?” He asked me. I guffaw in disbelief. “Really? And how do you come to that conclusion?” My eyes narrowed at him. Was this man actually deranged enough to believe that he was the rightful king? “I am the first-born son. By right the kingdom should have fallen on me.” I was speechless for a moment. Out of all of the rumours and stories I had heard of William Black, never once ha

“I’m sorry about what happened to your wife and child William, but I fail to see what this has to do with killing your own brother and his family?” I raise my brow in question. The silence had stretched out between us. I waited, hoping that he would continue, but it would seem that he was done with telling his tale of woe. My heart ached for him, to have been cast out not once, but twice by his father, and to then loose his mate and his unborn child on top of that, it was a lot for any person to go through. But how was any of this relevant? “You don’t get it do you? I lost everything. Everything that ever mattered to me. I spent my life apologising for the mistakes of my brother, protecting him because I was the oldest. I watched as he got everything that was mine, whilst I lost everything. “He had the perfect family. The mate to be proud of, sons to continue the Black line. My father’s blessing and the crown to go along with it. I was left with nothing. “I s
