EMMA I have been running around for the last week, Queen Isabelle has been getting me to practically follow her around the whole day as she plans this celebration. I would get up in the morning, have a quick shower and then fetch Queen Isabelle’s dinner. She would eat and then before I took the tray back to the kitchen she would drink from my wrist. She was like Master Jeremiah. She said that my blood was so pure that she only needed two or three mouthfuls to state her hunger for the evening. After she had finished her fill, I would then take her tray back to the kitchen, however, for this week instead of then going and helping Ma’am Eve Queen Isabelle ordered me back to her side. On the first day that she started planning the celebration, she gave me a clipboard with a pencil and we sat down on the balcony while she listed off everything that she thought needed to be done and then what she wanted to be done on top. As of the following night, Queen Isabelle then made me follow he
EMMA She looked over at me and her eyes go wide. She then whispers,“It is called a flogger. It has, however, been modified to contain silver and wolfsbane, to inflict as much pain as possible, but still allow you to recover and work by the evening.” “Very good… Now, since my young little Alpha here interfered with your punishment earlier tonight, she is now going to be punished for it and I thought it was only fitting that the one that caused the punishment to be here to watch.”Queen Isabelle then steps back up in front of me and before I realise what is going on, I let out a loud scream of pain as she brings the whip down across my abdomen. She then frowns before stepping back and saying,“Turn her around.”I struggle against the males as they maneuver me and turn me around so that my back is now facing Queen, Isabelle, and Allayna. I don’t hear her move, but let out a scream as the whip connects with my back. As she brings the whip down again, she says.“Count Allayna, my littl
EMMAI pull out a new servant’s dress as Queen Isabelle got the male warriors from this morning to rip and ruin the one I was wearing. I then make my way to the Queen’s chambers. I knock lightly as I do every evening and wait for her to answer.At her blessing, I open the door and enter. Queen Isabelle offers me a rare small smile before it falls and she beckons me over. I don’t bother to ask or wait for her to order me as I stand next to her and hold out my wrist. I flinch slightly as she sinks her fangs in. When she only takes a few small pulls, I remember that she had taken quite a bit this morning.Queen Isabelle doesn't say anything about the punishment she gave me or if I am feeling better as she gets to her feet and we start our rounds for the night. I am thankful that the night passes without incident and the preparations for the celebration are nearly complete.At this stage, I don't think my body could have handled another punishment, as I know I would have stepped in if I d
EMMA Once I have my dress on, I turn inward, but she just ignores me as she curls up and sighs, so I look over at Finn in question. He smiles,“The pledge of loyalty for us is sacred and powerful, which is why it is always done in the presence of a high-ranked member of the kingdom. It is also the only way for the ritual to be officially completed… And by Odette's reaction, it was important for her to add her scent to him...”I still look at him, confused. He then seems to think before continuing,"I will have to look it up but with what she did, it could have something to do with the pledge of loyalty for werewolves as they rely a lot on the scent of others and it is that underlying scent that sets the ones loyal to them apart from the ones that aren't." Another thing I didn't get up to reading from the werewolf book Master Jeremiah gave me to read.“Okay, but why here?”“With you being a werewolf and Benjamin being a vampire, the only way your wolf, your blood, your mind and your
EMMA I look at the male still sitting on and leaning above me but say to the male in the doorway,“What do you want?”“Well, I intend to take the throne away from my Aunt. You see, she had my parents killed and tried to kill me, too. So that when she killed the King, no one could stop her. She thought she pulled a good one to keep her place as Queen, but in truth, she did me a favour when she exiled her son making way for me to come in and take it. Now, what I want with you is purely personal. Once I take the throne from my Aunt you will become my Queen…”I start to struggle once again as I growl, “I will not…”“Oh, but you will and you will whether you want to or not, my dear Queen.”The male on and above me finally moves now that I am not struggling against him. The other male moves out of the way, allowing the one with his hands on me to crawl backward off my small bed and pull me up with him.Once we are standing, he then changes his grip on my wrists so that he can turn me and t
JEREMIAH“So? Samuel?”As I was the one to bring this up with Samuel, I thought it would be best if I explained it to them.“I was thinking over the alliance and deal we made and realised that even though you can fight and fight well, especially if what I saw from young Samuel when I first got here is any indication of how everyone fights.”“Well…”They seem a little uncomfortable. Cole rubs his hand over the back before saying,“Samuel is… Well, his training… Um…”“Dad… What my dad is trying to say is that I increased my training after Emma was taken. I have been through all my father's training plus his elite training program and even some extra that I have picked up in the different packs I have travelled through in my quest to find her. So our warriors are not quite as good as me, but the elites come close.”“Well, you are good Samuel from what I saw, but even you will need a little training in how to fight one of our kind…”“Are you sur…”I move and even before he has finished hi
EMMA I fight my way through the fog in my head as pain pulses into my wrist. The more I remove the fog, the more intense the pain gets. I feel Odette fighting the pain for me and know that what I am feeling is only a portion of the true intensity of it.I slowly open my eyes and turn my head first one way and then the other. I don’t completely recognise the room, but it does look a little familiar. I focus a little more on the walls and then the ceiling and realise that it is similar to the room Norman attacked me in.A shiver of fear runs through me as I think of what Norman nearly did and that maybe Master Jeremiah hadn’t killed him and he had taken me to finish what he had started that night. I wince at the pain being sent into my wrist from Queen Isabelle’s bracelet. I try to move my hands and arms, only to find that they are tied together and to the head of the bed.With Odette’s help, I do an inventory of my body and other than the fogginess in my head and the pain going throug
THIRD PERSON Benjamin went and found Finn and Joesph and a few of the warriors that they knew were loyal to Jeremiah and their way into the old King’s chambers via the servant halls, knowing that they won't be monitored like the normal halls are. Benjamin follows his connection to Emma. It gets stronger the closer he gets to where she is being held.As they entered the old King's bedroom Benjamin realised that the connection to Emma was getting weaker again, they looked around the room, Finn walks into the bathroom and picks up Emma’s nightdress from where she had dropped it on the bathroom floor but she was not in the room anymore. He walks back into the bedroom to show Benjamin and Joesph.Suddenly, they are all connected to Queen Isabelle’s head warrior and are called to the celebration hall. Finn looks at Benjamin and Joesph wondering what the hell was going on as they know that Prince Jeremiah isn’t ready for his infiltration yet.Realising that this could be really bad, Finn dr
