I walk back to Noel who helps me walking back to my Room. He tries to speak to me but I don’t feel like talking. All the excitement I felt on the way to the beach is gone. Feeling even more hurt then when he dropped this bombshell on me about Jackson getting married.
“When is the Prince getting married? Do you know?” I ask him just as we arrive at the door.
“Saturday.” He answers and I shut the door without even thanking him. The pain I feel is almost unbearable. How can I hurt this much just because he decided to take this step? Just six days till the wedding. What did he mean when he said, “It’s not like you see me for who I am”?
I find myself repeating these words over and over in my head. Who is he? Who am I? Am I asking the right questions? How am I supposed to know who he is? It’s not like I knew him for long.
Days are passing by and frequently I found myself just standing on
Neither of us willing to move an inch. I can feel his heartbeat as I place my hand on his chest. A feeling of calmness with the constant soothing sound of waves crashing into the beach. A sense of belonging to him. Never have I felt this comfortable around another person than I do around him. The first one I build a bond with outside of my own family.“I have to go.” I whisper as I feel so overwhelmed by all the feelings and my insecurity.“What happens next?” he asks as he unwillingly drops his arms. “I don’t know. I hope you will find your happiness with Gemma; I really do Jackson. You deserve someone who is able to sit next to your Father and support you every step of the way becoming a King yourself.” I turn around getting ready to leave. “What about you?” He tries to stall me and keeps asking questions so I won’t leave.“I might join the Guards or get myself killed trying to get away. Either
Noel brings me to the other side of the Castle. There is about ten of us, and we line up on the wall for a briefing with Liam. He is the head of the Guard and personal Guard for the King. Everyone gets given their positions and where they have to be, not one person says a word or steps out of the line until Liam says they are okay to leave. Noel looks over to me and gives me a smile with a thumbs up as he walks away. Liam now turns his attention to me. “Shame we never got to our little fight the other week, would have been interesting to see how you would have avoided my attacks, but I guess we got training for this now, just that I won’t be allowed to hit you too hard.” He snips with his fingers pointing at me. It’s my pet hate when someone does this just to try make a point. I don’t even want to answer this and just nod. “Anyway, the King wants you by his side, which suits me as I can relax a little running the show and make sure it all goes smoothly. So, your job is just
I don’t think many have been able to hear the words but the few that are around me are now focusing on me not the ceremony. The King is leaning forwards in his chair as I lower my head. Why have I been so selfish, I don’t deserve him. I couldn’t see who he was before, why would he even still want me now. Now that he has found someone to replace me.“Carry on Priest.” The Alpha demands, completely dismissing what I have just said. I take a deep breath in, closing my eyes. The room is now spinning around me and the rage is building up inside of me. My hands are rolled into fists and I am ready to punch the Kings lights out. As I am about to move, a pair of hands grab me from behind just holding on to my arms , which makes me think again.“Calm now Eliza, I am here, I know how you feel but just don’t.” Noel whispers in a calm voice into my ear. Liam is walking over from half across the Room, alerted by the Alpha, I am sure.
Time is stood still as he runs his hands through my hair and I can hear him inhaling deeply. Nothing matters around us right now, it’s just him and me. Well, that until a cough from Gemma pulls both of us back to reality. I take a step back and look at her. If looks could kill I would have died an instant death right there.“Congratulations again Gemma and Jackson, I wish you both the best.” bowing lightly then I take my leave. No need to stay there any longer. Walking through the people, which seems to be taking forever just to be able to get out of sight. Down to the Beach I go, my happy place.Just in time to see the sun go down. I love how everything changes the moment the sun touches the water, it goes from a golden yellow colour into orange even pinks and purple before turning towards a light blue and then ending up in a dark blue, almost black. The Sky tonight is lit up by the Moon and stars, sitting in the sand I just quietly gru
After the first 10minutes I am already hanging but I preserve knowing if I carry on my body will jump into survival mode and it gets easier. We are actually all running at a good pace and everyone is keeping up well, no one left behind. I enjoy this! I am used to just one trainings partner, this is a whole new world for me, being part of a group. Glad I got my water bottle though as we arrive back all I want to do is run into the water to cool down. I am not alone as everyone is looking rather sweaty and hot.“Right, get your food and we meet again at 8 on the dot, no later.” Liam just walks off as if he didn’t just run with all of us, cool as a cucumber.The lack of sleep is not helping now as it suppresses my hunger. I don’t even bother following everyone else to get some food. Taking my trainers and socks off to walk into the ice-cold water. It doesn’t last long till it sends a chill up my spine so I just sit and relax in
I manage to push him off, pushing him away with my back legs as he presses me down to the ground with his weight. Blood dripping out his mouth as he backs up and only then I feel how hard he has actually bitten me. Limping towards my left side I need to shift my weight to the other leg, give my Shoulder time to heal and regain strength. Throbbing pain as I move to the side but I can’t show him how much it’s hurting me as he will now always go for the injured shoulder. A quick shake to make him believe I am alright, lowering my body slightly. I can feel his emotions going from dominant to insecure which could leave him now vulnerable towards my attacks. A quick pace attack and I manage to push him sideways with all the force my body has to offer. He didn’t get the chance to brace himself for the impact it had on him. Taking his eyes of me for a second which I use to my advantage, I manage to dig my teeth into his throat. I am against the Captain of the g
Just as if I knew He was coming around the corner Liam is stood with the mysterious Lady, they are just casually walking past and I stand still. Luckily, I had just in time wiped my Tears away. They turn left at the end towards the next set of stairs. I probably still looked dreadful.“Are you still awake?” Noel mind links me.“Still awake, yes... Is this what you mean with getting hurt?” I ask him straight.…“Yes.” It took him a short while to answer. “The Guy who was at Level 3 before, Ken. He told me earlier that she kept creeping in and out the Room all day long and that she tried to send him away. I was convinced it was only a matter of time.” You can hear how hard it is for him to tell me all this.Just then the door opens next to me and I try not to let it bother me. Jackson walks out slowly backwards. Just seeing him pushes all the tears back into my eyes and without even
More running on the Beach, just what I needed… right?“I better get on with it, that’s just what you get for overwhelming the King’s personal guard.” I say to myself as I walk slowly. I manage to get the reins around my head, but it doesn’t quite sit right over my shoulders, as the straps aren’t put on properly. It’s supposed to sit on me like a harness to minimise the rubbing on my shoulders but now that there is no one here to help me I have no choice but just leave it as it is. I keep saying Cart, but it kind of is like a Sledge, but with a cart top where all the logs are placed into. Maybe if I run closer to the water, it will make it a bit easier and not such a terrible load to pull the rest of the day.Having to pull it again makes me shudder. The pain I was in from pulling it for so long is only just starting to subside. Punishment when I should be celebrated. Urghhh… I let out a huff and puff as I tr
The Kitchen is quiet only a hand full of Maidens who I have seen before are now present. They are sitting at a table with some snacks. Usually, the table had always been full of food, ready for everyone working in and around the castle to take. The chatter stops as I enter the room and all eyes are on me, expectant but with a look of fear.“Hello” I say quietly before walking towards the five Ladies sitting around the table.A young Lady with light brown Hair, petite in size starts to speak as I take a chair to join them.“Many of the Kings slaves have left the Village in fear as soon as the Pack bond broke. There are not many of us left to keep the Kitchen running. We don’t even have a cook to make the meals. We were not sure what to actually do.” Her voice getting smaller towards the end as she looks down on the table.“But you are here. All five of you. If you are willing to work with me, we will prepar

“I want to reshape everything Faron has built, but I need your help. There won’t be the separation anymore between guards and fighters, instead we will have warriors. No two class between them anymore, everyone fighting for the same, the safety for our Pack. We will come out of this stronger than ever. Joseph , I would like you to be leading the training for everyone. The Wall needs to be taken down, if you could over see this.” Looking between Liam and Joseph who is slightly taken a back by my announcement of taking the wall down, I turn my attention purely towards Liam. “Liam, I would like you to be our Beta. I need your insight and knowledge as well as your loyalty. I hope you will agree that you are both an absolute asset to this pack and it would be sad to see either of you two leave.” Expectant I am awaiting eager on a reply from Liam agreeing with me but he stays still. “Yes, my alpha. We will get on the job r
The Castle is the same, it’s me who changed. Our lives are now going to be different, seeing everything through different eyes.Noel opens the car door, holding out his hand for me. Not going to lie but my legs are feeling like jelly as I step out of the Car. Some of the Guards are stood at the entrance welcoming us home, with a nod I recognise his effort.The Hall now certainly seems so much bigger than I could remember it and the sheer weight on my shoulders knowing that all the decisions are on me. The young Girls who Faron used for his amusement are all stood in the Hall in a small puddle, whispering as we enter.All eyes are on us as they are uncertain how to react.A quick look over to Noel, who is stood right behind me, gives me the confidence to speak up.“King Faron is now gone. He won’t be returning so your services are no longer needed. However, if you wish you can still work in the castle, y
I am sorry that I let you all wait to long for the story to continue. I had to write on another story and needed to take some time off due to the summer holidays, so I could spend time with my little girls while they had been off school, but I will return with more updates from November the 1st! I have already started to write a few chapters and am uploading them as we speak ready for daily updates to resume soon. Thank you so much for the continued support, it really means so much to me and my family!
We are the last ones to walk down the long white path. At the end a big Coffin One half of it is opened. They have extra built him a little stage, put drapes around the corners with white and grey organza lovingly draped around it. With big flower stands. I swallow hard. Not wanting to admit that it is his final goodbye. Up until now I managed to shield myself from the enormous pain and kept everything locked away. I don’t even hear what the Speaker is saying, nor when Aaron or Zain get up to speak and when they present their beautiful speeches they have prepared. I barely manage to look up but when I did, I could see Tim, Rasmus, Miller and Liam, staring in my direction. Their faces sad and full of emotions. Everyone is now turning to me and I jump a little as I realise that absolutely everyone’s eyes are on me. I breathe in sharply taking steps towards the Coffin. Seeing him there makes me realise how I have tried to avoid this situation. I didn’t even help to plan
A part of me wants to hold him up. Tell him, it’s okay. You can make wrong decisions and it would still work out. The other Part of me feels that it’s the way to go… We just wasn’t meant to be, maybe if we had met under different circumstances, we would have made it and we could have been happy together. If Faron had never entered his life, If He had grown up somewhere loved with his parents without all the lies… the what if’s take over all my thoughts as I stand there looking into the dark of the Forest. I don’t even notice for how long I was stood there, imagining how different our lives could have been. The strange feeling is still very prominent. When I turn around Noel is stood there looking at me and I am unsure whether I should go to him or walk away. I know its nothing good because he never looked at me like this before. The feeling is laying heavy over us and I am reluctant to accept it. “I didn’t want to do this to you. I know how hard it ha
“Yeah, I agree with Zara, Rose is all down to you Mom. What ever you want to do, we will support you and stand behind you. Fully and no questions asked. Gemma, I am not sure… it’s your Mate’s wife so not certain what you think is reasonable. Again, I help where I can obviously.” Zain looks between me and our Mother. “ Let’s get this straight - Jackson is my Rejected mate, after I talked to him yesterday it became apparent that really, I didn’t want him anymore. There was no feelings left from me, the bond has dissolved fully, He is a free wolf like he always wanted. I have offered him to stay here or if he wants to return to the Castle, he is welcome there too.” I point out as I grab for Noel’s hand who is looking rather confused at me. “Do I understand this right? You are not thinking of going back to the Castle, are you?” He shakes his head in disbelieve. “Yes, my plan is to go back to the Castle and I thought you
We lay there catching our breath for a good few minutes before either of us even thinks about moving and even though I hurt after fights this is just a different kind of ache you find yourself in. Muscles you don’t usually feel are now aching. Especially between my legs. I smile as I stare at the bedroom ceiling when Noel’s head pop’s up next to me and he rests his head on his shoulder stroking over my skin with his other hand. I lean my head to the side to meet his gaze on me. Without words we appreciate each other’s company, absolute silence, and a bit of feeling bliss in the air. “I am sorry I marked you, but it just felt so right in the heat of the moment.” I stutter with embarrassment as my cheeks heat up again. “You won’t hear me complain.” He lightly traces over his mark on his neck with a smile. My Tummy starts to rumble so we decide to get our clothes back on but just as I try to pull my underwear back on, he grabs me from behind kissi
