Nikolai has been incredibly distant since the night we made love. The only time I see him is at night when it’s time for bed, and even then, it’s nothing romantic. It’s just a formality with his need to protect me. He hand’t even fed from me, and it made me curious, if not a little jealous, as I began to wonder where he was getting his blood from. I tried not to let his distance bother me. It was better this way. I wouldn’t be tied to him and I could still avenge my family’s murders, as soon as I was able to get out of this prison. It seems like a strong word, but since the attacks, that is what the palace feels like. I’m only allowed to leave the confines on the King’s quarters to attend meals. I was no longer allowed to go to the village or even walk around the gardens. The only visitor I was allowed was Nevaeh, and she seemed to be coming around less frequently as if she didn’t want to be associated with me, a nobody. Nikolai had ordered guards to escort me and wait for me outside

Lady Mary has disappeared. She is not in your room, nor is she anywhere else in the castle.” The guard said timidly looking down at the ground. I felt my heart skip a beat. Mary was missing, my mate had left me. I felt myself losing control over my vampire. He wanted to hunt down Mary and force her back home and have his way with her until she was too sore to even think about running away. It took all of my strength to shove him down. I didn’t have time to lose focus. The Alpha summit was in two days time and I was expected to be there, the King’s presence was required to keep the peace. If I didn’t show, there would be carnage, and then even more supernaturals would try to take my throne from me. I wanted to say fuck it, and abdicate my throne, but I couldn’t let my people down. They needed a just leader, this wasn’t the time for me to lose myself. “ I am leaving for the Alpha’s summit in two days time. I need Mary found before then. I want everyone looking for her. No stone will b

I fight the urge to pass out. I need to get out of this place and quickly, if I pass out now I’ll die. I pull myself up into a standing position, my entire right side feels like its on fire, and I can barely put any pressure on my leg; my ankle was either broken or severely sprained. I gritted my teeth through the pain, slowly hobbling through the meadow, trying to find a place to rest and hide. I stub my toe on a rock, and fall back down. I cover my mouth so not to cry out and I let out a little whimper. Why, why was I so damn stubborn that I felt the need to run away. Why couldn’t I have waited for Nikolai to return back from his meeting and tell me what was going on. Why did I always find the need to do everything on my own. I would die in these woods tonight and I wouldn’t be able to revenge my family’s death, my hands going to the locket around my neck, as I open it up and stare down at my family. Thoughts of the day Nikolai had given it back to me, flood into my mind; I wouldn’t

“What do you mean he isn’t coming!” I growled out at the royal messenger, as. I stood up in my bath, water falling everywhere. “He’s the King, he’s required to come.”“I’m sorry if you misunderstood me” The dreadfully boring messenger replied, “ What I said earlier, was that the Alpha’s summit has been postponed until a later date.”The messenger had mousy brown hair, boringly dull blue eyes, and a face that one wouldn’t look twice at, I couldn’t determine what her body looked like underneath all the baggy clothes she wore, but I bet that it would be dreadfully boring as well. I already knew the reason this particular messenger was sent to me, and it ignited a flame of anger inside of me. Had the messenger been a male, I would have killed him immediately for approaching my territory and if she’d been an attractive female, I would have fucked her raw and then added her to my sex slave collection. But this plain Jane messenger was sent with the intent of me listening to the message and

Today’s the day of Mary’s coronation, it is also the day that I let the world know that I have taken a human, a simple village girl who’ll I gain no power from as Queen. There will be an uprising, that I am sure of. But it is my hope that my devout followers will stand with me and accept Mary as their Queen and my fated mate. I know the wolves won’t side with me and the witches seem to be on the side of the wolves. The wolves and the Witches multiple quicker than the other species. Their numbers are greater, but I also know that they are not as strong as the others. The witches magic depend on their surroundings, if the elements aren’t aligned exactly as they should be then their power is mediocre at best, their major powers comes during the solstice moon, which is no where near. The wolf shifters have their brute force and quick healing abilities; they also train daily making them efficient fighters. If this was a battle between the humans and their modern warfare the witches and wo
