Justin remained staring out at the blackened sky from the window. He hadn't spoken to me for some time seemingly content to stand in silence. Emma left for her shift a while ago to prepare breakfast for the morning meal. She wouldn't be back for some time. The stars flickered through the curtains dotting the ceiling in starlight. The snow capped mountains beyond stood proud and ominously against the star flecked sky.

“Goodnight Val.” Justin eventually murmured heading for the door.

My heart hammered in my chest. What if Damion returned? He would surely kill me! I shuddered forcing myself to speak, “I don't want to be alone.”

Such a simple request. Stay. Stay, I pleaded with myself. A word I had told Kayla. Telling her to stay with her pack. That seemed to long ago now after all that happened.

Justin paused at the threshold eyes softening in understanding. He wordlessly settled down on the sofa, “Once Emma arrives I’m leaving.”

    Damion screamed as thousands of tiny ice shards slammed into him. The sound deafening my ears as I fought to keep my face blank instead of recoiling. The stone marble was like a mirror, reflecting my cold features perfectly. Why haven't I done this before? “You little slut!” Damion hissed breaking free and lunging for my neck.Justin intervened tackling him to the polished black marble. Punches were thrown. Soon Justin had pinned Damion easily. “She has you all wrapped around her frosty little fingers.”Justin said nothing only sending another punch his way.“Did you know she was looking for you?” Damion inquired cackling.“I should've killed your walking carcass months ago!” Justin growled gritting his teeth. His hands found Damion’s throat and started to squeeze.Damion started howling with laughter once more, “I don’t need air your highness! She was looking for you! And you weren't there. So you know

    “Come on Eddy put your back into it!” I stifled a laugh at the situation. Eddy grunted sending a curse my way as he precariously balanced a load of boxes. The boxes were stuffed to the brim with clothes Emma and I had picked out for ourselves. A box slid almost toppling over, causing Eddy to rush forward and dump them in the carriage. “I’m never doing that again.” He laughed ruffling Emma’s hair playfully. “I’ll be a minute.” Justin quickly vanished into the crowd. I tried to spot where he was headed but he was swallowed up in shadow.Shaking the thought away I leapt into the carriage next to Emma. I peered out the window at the street once more which suddenly burst with life. Odd how once everyone was in the carriage they came out. “Why do the people fear you?” I voiced looking pointedly at Eddy.He sighed leaning back in the seat, “Eric may of sent Justin here shortly before your arrival to deal with something. A lot of thieves

Damion is coming with me.” Eric spoke slowly. Damion stood beside him his jaw clenched shut though his gaze was full of hatred.Justin scrunched up his nose in distaste.Damion. He was leaving, for two weeks. Were the only words my brain seemed to process. Gone, gone! He was gone and away for two weeks and away from me.“Andrew you’re in charge. Treat Valerie with respect she can roam the grounds freely” Eric finished.Eddy snapped his face upright “What? Why him?” He seemed surprised.I glimpsed Justin kick him under the table to keep him quiet. Eddy winced but stopped talking.Eric turned, “Valerie will be your queen in the coming months. That is why Edward Raubal.” His tone had a bite to it which made me want to quickly leave the room. I kept forgetting Eddy’s name was Edward the name seem

    I had a plan. A really bad plan. But a plan nonetheless. Justin had a point if I was to stay here I would have to shift. Emma had left for bed and I was in my room alone with my thoughts. I quietly slunk towards the door listening waiting for any noise to alert me. Nothing. Not a soul stirred outside. Perfect.My wolf was nagging at the back of my mind desperate to shift. I couldn't go on like this. My thoughts were clouded with shifting and escape. I would go mad. Taking a deep breath calming my nerves I shifted.Everything became clearer in the dark. I could smell the breakfast cooking in the kitchens in the far wing. My stomach growled in hunger and I cringed as my claws clicked on the hardwood. I may be unable to run but I could sleep in wolf form just fine. Jumping into bed I rolled myself up into a burrito wolf and closed my eyes embracing my heightened senses for a short time.Trust is a delicate thing. Something earned and cherished, and

    I stayed with Justin throughout the morning. Luckily for him the wraiths had improved. They were faster and more precise and could even doge slightly. For being soul spirits of the deceased they had improved greatly.At around midday Justin waved the wraiths off.“They are doing better.” I spoke carefully watching him dunk a bucket of water over his head.“Not good enough. They need to not hesitate. Kill faster and more cleaner.” Justin paused “If they are not ready by Summer Solstice, Eric will not let it go lightly.”I scoffed, “He isn't that bad. What’s he going to do? Huh?” I shook my head. Justin fearing Eric I couldn't understand anymore. Eric was just broody and ill tempered I doubt he would harm Justin.“You would be surprised. If you were anybody else, half the things you’ve pulled wouldn't of even happened.” Justin spat sheathing his knives.“Really? And why is that?”Justin’s face crumpled, “He acts

    Hurrying down the hallway I paused on hearing a sensual female laugh from the throne room. Could it be Vivian? Hope sparked in my chest and I quietly headed to the entrance. I paused on the threshold as I beheld a beautiful female. Her pearl white skin matched to Damion’s and I instantly knew she was a vampire. Her brown waved hair seemed to be dampened by a deathly tint while her eyes gleamed like dark pools of chocolate glinting with unknown knowledge. Justin stood to the side stiff and a slight frown to his face. Eric seemed inclined to have the female walk all over him and this castle as she trailed a hand along his forearm. “Come now Eric the girl will be wed to you and she will rise as your Queen.” The female quipped.Eric frowned shrugging her off, “She decides for herself what she wishes she is already against us for bringing her here.”The female snarled, “Remember your place Eric.” She licked her ruby lips eyeing Justin, “You are sworn

    The mind is a funny thing. One moment emotion is high and running rampant the next, you feel nothing. Maybe I was harsh on Tamara, but she was in no place to treat anyone in such a manner. Yet that rush of energy. The sheer power I possessed in those moments… Was nearly enough to make me wish I had enjoyed it more, drawn out the minutes and truly made her sorry. Made her suffer.I blinked and the thoughts vanished, being overrun with a sense of dread. The hallway looked as it always had. The huge window with a seat to view the gardens was at the end next to Eric’s room. Our room, I suppose. Damion’s door was approaching and I swallowed my ever growing fear. Feeling it flutter in my chest like a caged animal. The feeling was enough to make my steps hurry and dizziness take hold. Of all the things to fear, I feared Damion. Not for his being a vampire, for his behaviour. For the true pleasure he took by inflicting pain and suffering on others. It was h

    Emma was chopping carrots to her heart's content as I walked through the doorway. Realizing I hadn't seen her since she found out I was The White Wolf.. Would she even want to see me? Emma looked up and a smile broke across her freckled cheeks. “Come over here! The stew won’t cook itself!” She gestured to the pot once more.My worries vanished as I stirred the soup alongside her. Emma didn't talk about the wolf thing and I was grateful. I could almost picture this as us at the packhouse cooking. Not in a castle with my sister being held hostage.“Alright pour it into these bowls. Then we must have them on the table.” Emma instructed reading off a list.“Couldn't I just eat it?” I questioned pointing to the soup.“No!” Emma screeched taking the pot from me. “We must follow the instructions, and nowhere does it say to have your gifted friend eat it before dinner.” She scolded carefully pouring the soup herself.
