Chapter 22.
My hands started shaking, my feet were tapping restlessly against the plastic mats on the floor of the car and my heart was erratically beating in my chest.
Any minute now I would start to hyperventilate, I knew my tells and if my breathing picked up a little more I would have a full blown panic attack on my hands.
“So calm the hell down.”
“It’s not that easy!” I hissed at Trixy.
“You can't let him know that you're nervous, Hazel.”
“You need to back off. Don't forget that I can feel what you feel too.”
She went silent for a second before quietly warning, “He’s watching.” She said.
I looked up, straight into the mirror where I saw his green eyes

My bags were taken from the car and carried inside the house by a large man in a seamless red vest and black undershirt. He didn't speak, not a single word of hello or his name; just a grunt when he closed the trunk. Come to think of it, nobody had said a word to me since I stepped out of the car. They were all just watching Darian, as though they waited for an order before they could breath.I looked at every corner, window sill, around the buildings that stood on the property and at the road leading down from the stable where warriors dressed in uniform were getting of their saddles.There were stairs leading down the side of the castle, they disappeared down behind a trimmed hedge with lilac flowers growing around the rustic railing.I needed to know that there was an escape route before I entered his house. Once I was inside there was no telling what would happen to me but I needed to know the places where I could hide if I needed to run. Or for when I planned to leave. Because

Darian called for the frumpy old lady to show me around and she did, though with a scowl deeper than her wrinkles.She was clear to mention the parts of the house that were too good for my presence, such as the kings office, his bedroom, the meeting hall and then she opted to disclose that the attached building was much more suitable for people like me.She opened the door to my new room. The immediate smell of chlorine hit my face followed by a strong whiff of rubbing alcohol. It was like they had scrubbed every inch of the room with strong chemicals, either to mask my scent and make it sure it didn't stick to anything or they were trying to mask someone else’s.Perhaps there was a girl here before me. I couldn't imagine I was the first to be chosen as his mate after his wife’s death years ago.She grunted behind me and eagerly let out a warning.“Be as little as possible and maybe you'll live to see your next birthday,” I turned around and watched her shrinking lips press together

I was still in my white dress. My skin exposed in more ways than one and Mr Bates was watching every inch of it. My heart was beating in my chest and it wasn't until now that i realized I still hadn't eaten.Trixy hadn’t spoken in hours, I could barely feel her presence so it was just me. Me, and Mr Bates who wore a stone cold expression that thawed slightly when his eyes landed on my chest. Something he saw there caused a twinkle to go of in his eyes and my nerves jumbled uncomfortably.“In order to prepare you for your duties as the kings mate, you will need to learn; proper etiquette in social gatherings such as balls and meetings. You’re also expected to learn lycan history and of course seduction,” I choked on the air in my throat.“Seduction?” I asked.His lips pulled back in a distasteful smirk. “You’re of course expected to see to the kings needs, both among the people and in business but also in private. You will be taught to become all that he needs in one, slightly to c

I woke up in the infirmary unable to move at first. The pain running from my head to my knees was keeping me put and the sheets were stained with the blood from my wounds.The first thing I saw was Miss Elaine, she sat on a chair reading a book and she looked calm if it wasn't for her foot tapping away like it was on the run.When she noticed me stirring awake she closed it and turned to face me. Her auburn hair fell in from of her eyes but she grabbed the lock and put it in the pin at the back of her head. Her eyes fell and her lips turned down in a pout that she tried to mask. Her throat bobbed as she swallowed and she shook her head to gather herself. “How are you feeling?” She asked. Her voice was like a soothing balm. It sounded like she genuinely cared but I didn't believe it. Anyone could fake caring about you. I would know. One minute they say they will protect you and love you forever and the next they let you off with the Lycan king who allows his people to use you as a p

The doctor had been in here and told me about the internal bleeding, broken rib, and the various wounds I had spread out across my body. He told me to be careful like it was my fault and I had fallen from a cliff or something.Maybe that was the lie he was told but I doubted it. They knew what had happened. If Miss Elaine knew, the doctor surely did too. Was this behavior normal in the palace? Beating girls and lying about it. Was that why Elaine was so afraid all the time? I wish I could ask her but I doubt she’d tell me the truth.He left and told me to rest. They wanted to keep me until my wolf was strong enough to heal us both but they weren’t giving me anything that would get Trixy’s strength back. We still hadn't eaten and the IV wasn't doing much but keeping me awake. Trixy was still dormant; I could feel her but we couldn't talk or connect.The idea of staying in here for two days made my skin crawl and there was no way in hell that I was going back to my room and sent off to

After a run that felt like it had lasted for a week, I looked back to see how far away from the palace we had gotten but my heart sank when I could spot the tower sticking up behind the trees. How in the world was I supposed to disappear in this place?But we didn't slow down and I forced my steps one at a time. The alternative to running was much more terrifying.“This way,” he rounded a few trees and we came out on the other side of the small forest.I knew there was a forest around here with miles and miles of tight-grown trees and grass that tickled your feet for those who wanted a proper run with their wolf but I didn't know where it was located. It would've been a good place to disappear until I found a way out.We ran without stopping over a bridge overlooking a beautiful stream and down the cobblestone path that led through a smaller shopping street. We ran until I couldn't feel my feet. We ran even though I wanted to stop but he wouldn't let me slow down as he dragged my wei

“Please! Please, I'm sorry! No!”The faint sounds of beginning brought me out of my violent slumber and my eyes fluttered open but I saw nothing other than blurry lights and the sounds seemed further away when I was awake.“I’m so sorry!” He cried. He wasn't close, his voice came from down a few halls. Where was he?He was begging for his life, his voice sounded muffled and desperate and the sound of gurgling and coughing made me shake my head to get a grip.I looked around but my vision wouldn't allow me to see much.All I saw were blurry walls and something shiny in front of me.I lifted my hand to rub my eyes but the restraints were stopping me.I looked down and moved my wrist but it wouldn't budge and after staring for a good minute I saw the cable ties that kept my wrists locked to the chair.“No,” I breathed and tried

It had been hours since Darian told the guard to kill the guy who helped me. His screams stopped, actually no, he begged for his life one last time they took it from him and the sound that followed was a metal door sliding shut with a loud lock clicking into place. They had left it open on purpose, wanting me to hear him being tortured before his eventual death.Now when I looked at my captive hands they were stained with blood that would never be washed off.I closed my eyes and saw his kind face, I had never seen kinder eyes, and the only one that even came close was Emanuel.It pissed me off to no end how I could've been with him right now and live a somewhat good life. I would've had to share him with his other mates but it would've been worth it if it meant a calm and safe life. I’m not greedy, I could do without the love if it meant being safe. I just didn't want to hurt anymore.&
