I had to get out.
"Ah, ah, where do you think you're going, Zel?" Cedric's smile grew wider. "It's been so long we should catch up."
Why wasn't this working? Why couldn't I wake up?
"For once in your life, you're not in control, babe. Did you think I didn't feel you in my body, every night watching me kill? I put on a show for you babe. Did you like it?"
"Cedric let me go!" I urged.
"Not until we've talked...on my terms." The grin still hadn't left his face. He really was enjoying this. "You know I alway wondered what would happen after I bit you and you didn't turn. Now I know. It linked us forever."
"That's why I can see into your mind. Because you bit me?"

I had never been broken up with.Maybe it's because I'd only had one serious boyfriend and he literally turned into a monster. But I definitely ended that relationship. I was not dumped.But now Penn had dumped me and I didn't like it one bit. But I would get over it. As my mother said I can have any man I want. I wasn't going to chase after a Beta who was scared of his feelings any longer. I would not let this break me.Honestly it never would have worked out between us anyways. I wasn't interested in being with a man who was scared to let everyone know he liked me.Penn did me a favor! He saved me from further humiliation in regards to him. I would have let him string me along for Veone knows how long!This was
I opened the door to Hunter's room and we tumbled inside. I slid on the bed as he locked the door. He pounced on me immediately. He kissed me desperately, fumbling with my dress. He seemed nervous, yet eager. "You alright?" I asked. "You make me shake Empress Zelda." "Hunter, seeing as we're doing this, I think you can call me Zelda for now." "I want you so badly, Zelda." He kissed me again, hard. I was kind of into his sloppy kissing. There was something endearing and exciting about it. I could feel his erection moving up and down on my thigh quickly. At first I was worried that would be enough to get him off, being a virgin and all.
Suddenly things made so much more sense. This was the reason Zeke was a werewolf. We came from werewolf blood. Great grandmother Gwenna always said that she didn't practice magic due to the trauma of losing the love of her life. But now I knew it was actually because she couldn't do magic. I kept reading… Just when Gwenna and I were set to leave, the Aleni attacked. They are the most fearsome creatures we had ever come across. They were vile and ruthless. They killed without a second thought. They wanted to rule all of Uquix with fear. Although my love for Gwenna was strong, I still had a duty to my people. I was their leader. They needed me. And Gwenna's people needed her. She was one of the fiercest werewolves. Great grandmother Gwenna
I shoved Hunter off of me. "Um Beta Penn, we're in the middle of something." Hunter said in exasperation."Yes I can see that." Penn grunted. "I'm actually here for you Alpha Hunter. Your parents would like to speak to you. They have been looking everywhere for you. Guess they didn't think to look here."Hunter rolled his eyes. "Fine, I will go talk to my parents." He turned to me. "We'll continue this later Zelda."Penn's face hardened, hearing Hunter address me like that.Penn didn't follow Hunter. We just stared at each other."Well that was fast." He said finally. "We've only been broken up for a few days.""Broken up? That would mean you actually saw us as something rea
"Empress Zelda?" Hunter almost whimpered."I knew there was something wrong with her." Wokor shook his head."Empress no!" Yavo cried out."What is it you like to say?" Kiznir asked. "Off with your head!""Will you guys hear her out?" Penn shouted."Thank you Beta Penn." I said. "Me being a spy is not a purposeful thing at all. It's because of the psychic connection. He could see into my mind, so he knows everything that happens.""I knew the Empress would never purposely betray us." Yavo said confidently."The good news is Posy put a block and therefore Cedric can no longer see into my mind." I informed them.
"What? Why would he do that?" I asked."He wanted to prove to you that he was the better choice. He thinks if he kills Cedric, you'll love him.""No, we have to go after him! Cedric will kill him." I turned around. "Penn, we have to go now!"I ran to Posy's room and banged on the door. She answered, tightening a robe around her. "What's wrong now?""Hunter went after Cedric.""Oh shit! Um, give me a moment, I must get dressed." She closed the door quickly and locked it.Posy never locks the door.As we waited for her, Zeke joined us. She exited a few moments later and closed her door again.
I had never thought much about death. I saw myself as almost invincible. I was a twenty-one year old Empress who had the whole kingdom at her feet. People would literally die for me. As Posy said, I was a priority. Death seemed like something that would get me when I was one hundred and thirty-seven or something but not now. At least I died for a good cause, like my great grandfather Agaras. We died for our people because we loved them so much. I would go down in history as one of the best Empresses to rule over Gynem I would probably also go down in history as the shortest ruler of Gynem. If there is a Gynem,
"Oz?" Hunter whispered."Am I still useless, brother?" Oz grinned. "Do you see my worth now?""Oz, how could you?" Penn asked."I would think you of all people would understand, Beta Penn. Hunter is a terrible Alpha. He is mean and he is cruel and he is incompetent! He treats us like shit!""But to betray your entire pack-""Was necessary, Empress." Oz cut me off. "No one ever treated me with respect. They all thought I was worthless!""The Aleni want to destroy our world!" Posy said. "How can you agree to that?""I'm tired of being the weak one. So if a new world is created where I'm at the top of the pack then I'll take that. U
