2021-09-09 18:24:37It was early morning the next day, it was time to arrest Cyrus and my father. To minimise the risk of them catching on and fleeing, we were going under the cover of nightfall. We drove for a little while stopping maybe a mile out, I climb out the car into the cold night. Gray also gets out coming to my side immediately, he told me I didn't have to come but I wanted to, just to see Cyrus's face, does that make me a bad person?
We start to make our journey towards the house, I had a circle of guards around me with Gray also guarding me, there had to of been around a hundred guards with us on this journey. A building soon comes into view at the top of a hill, there was only one light on around the back. Guards silently go into position near doors and windows, while we go to stand by the door behind a bunch of guards. One of the guards look back at Gray who nods, I take ahold of his arm as a guard lifts his leg up and

It was the same morning, I was just getting ready to start my day of duties, honestly I didn't know if I had it in me to plaster a smile on my face, but it's my job and I see how happy it makes people so I've just got to suck it up.I was doing my hair in the mirror when I notice something, as I go to pick my hairbrush up I spot the upper part of my arm. This might sound weird but there was nothing to spot, normally when I look in this mirror to do my hair the horrific scar stands out to me, but it's gone. I put my hairbrush back on the counter and stare down at my arm, I even glanced to the other one just to make sure I didn't forget what arm it was on, but both were clear. I feel tears begin to well up in my eyes as I looked at the patch it skin, it's finally gone!"I told you, all scars fade now we found mate" my wolf says in my head, knowing

I sat in this makeshift tent thing, a doctor was patching me up after asking me a bunch of questions, such as do I feel dizzy? Have a got a headache? And can I say the months of the year backwards? So on and so forth. I hadn't saw Erik since he got pulled from the wreckage, my doctor doesn't know what's happening but promised she'd tell me as soon as she heard anything.Once I was all patched up I'm led out the tent, into what looked like a circus, ha see what I did there? There were a bunch of my guards, police, firemen and news reporters. It was starting to get dark now but all lights where on the sideways car, a tow truck was pulling it up the hill.I hear a man shouting that everyone needed to clear the area, which immediately causes guards to start pushing the news people and other onlookers away from the area. The guards make a line of gua

In no time at all we arrive back at the castle, the gates open where we run at full speed entering the courtyard. I amused we would stop outside the main doors and walk in, but he doesn't stop and actually walks into the castle in wolf form with me still on his back."I know what you are thinking my love but, it would be much more efficient to just head to our destination rather than stop" he mind-links answering my question before I asked it "that and I don't have any clothes with me, but if you were so concerned I will just shift here for everyone to see" he jokes which immediately makes my wolf begin to growl in my mind, I also get mad but than smirk."Do it, but just so you know as soon as you do I'll start to strip right in front of those butlers, give them a real show" I smirk looking down at him, he lets out a small growl, I wanted to pus

It's a week since the crash happened and things have been going okay, nothing else has happened regarding Rupert. My mother on the other hand hasn't stopped trying to contact me, I know exactly what she's going to say and I really don't feel like having that conversation. Oh Erik is doing great by the way, he had to have some major surgery on his foot but they managed to save it! He'll just need to heal for a few weeks than he'll be back to his normal self, it couldn't have got better than that! It means he is off work for a few weeks which gave Gray the excuse to give me time off, so for a few weeks I don't have to go out the castle on duties. Gray likes to tell me it's because me and Erik are such a good team, it would be a shame for me to work with someone else. I knew it was mostly because of Rupert being on the loose, but honestly I'm okay with not doing duties as that would mean getting in a car, even the thought of that freaks me out a little, Daisy thinks I've got ptsd from

It's a few days after the huge accident, I feel like I've said that a few times now. The verdict on my arm is that it's broke, pretty bad talking to the doctors. I've got it better than a bunch of people who were there though, four people were so badly injured that for days no one knew if they were going to make it. Thankfully, no one died and everyone seems to be somewhat on the mend, but it's gonna be a long road. I've been able to go and see them in the hospitals, Gray kept telling me I didn't need to but I wanted to. I've managed to see most of them all apart from Daisy, you'd think as I'm so close to her she'd be the first person I'd visit right? She's had to have a few major surgeries to try and help her heal from the attack, Josh tells me she does want to see me but whenever I'm free she's always in surgery or busy, it's just a sucky situation we're in.Gray has been glued to my side the entire time, as Jos

All I felt from the men in the room was judgment, I wasn't sure if it was because I was a woman and men like that can't deal with change, or they just hated me for me but it resulted to me looking at the ground."No Clara, you are queen you can't be disrespected like this from these old farts! Hold your head up high!" My wolf shouts in my head, I nod putting my head up even making eye contact with a few of them as I went by.Gray finally leads me to the top two chairs at the head of the table, we stand there for a second as the doors are closed."You may be seated" Gray says in a powerful voice, immediately the men start to take a seat as Gray pulls my seat out. I send him a little smile taking a seat before he takes his beside me, the men begin to take documents out folders t

It was much later in the day, the sun was just beginning to set which made the whole sky just beautiful colours of red and orange. We were just about to set off for Josh and Daisy's house, I didn't know how we were going to be able to break the news about what's happening with Daisy. It is totally unjustified and stupid that as royals we can't stop whatever investigation they have on her, Gray told me it was for a number of reasons but most likely was because we had a personal relationship with them. He explained that in most cases we could put a request in to stop the investigation, but the officials would claim that we're too close to the case and nothing would be done and it might actually make her look worse.I couldn't help but feel responsible for what happened, Gray keeps saying over and over again that it's not and of a matter of fact it's his fathers but, a part of me knows he was there to harm me but many others are suffering while I'm just here

That's the first time I've thought about the incident, I've blocked out a bunch of my childhood memories that I know would just cause the horrible feelings as a child to resurface. It's the first time that I can remember my dad feeling bad and wanting to protect us, well more me as it looked as though he didn't mind Kyle being there. Cyrus was always like that growing up, he treated Kyle and I like crap and always got our dad to follow every word he said.Gray looking down at me with a smile snaps me out my thoughts, I just send a tiny one back as we pull up to a row of quite big houses, they had steps leading up to each door with black railings. The bricks were a deep red colour with huge windows at the front, they looked rather Victorian era type houses, but also with a modern sense to them.Once the car comes to a stop one of the front doors

The Kings Mate Final Chapter
The jury didn't take long to decide what was to happen to Preston, much to Gray's annoyance. We were now sat in the courtroom waiting for the jury to come back in, I was pretty confident that we'd won this but you never know. I look down into the court to see my family sat all together, even Cyrus was sat beside my dad, like one big happy family!My eyes wonder to Preston, he had such a horrible look on his face, I think it's finally now setting in that this whole act of being a devoted King isn't going to pass. The act he was playing is now up as Gray said, he's about to pay for all those people he hurt.The jury soon enter the courtroom going over to sit where they have been, Gray quickly takes my hand as the main jury person stands up."Have you came to an agreement?" The j
The Kings Mate Freedom
After the wholesome family moment, the court got called back in. Gray was now back from wherever he went and joined me on the balcony once more, he isn't going to believe the information I just found out, I'll have to tell him after this is all finished.It was now Preston's turn to go to the stand, the court was silent as we all watch him walk over to the stand. All you could hear where the chains around his feet rattling, I glance over at Gray who's eyes didn't leave his father. I reach over taking his hand in mine, it was my turn to comfort him. He places a kiss on my hand before resting our interlocked hands on his leg, as Preston took the stand he takes a look up at us."Now let's start with the questions shall we, did you hire Cyrus and Wes Jacobs?" Our guy asks placing his hands in his pockets, we all knew where this was going to go
The Kings Mate Water Under The Bridge
After Cyrus spoke the court took a break, I think everyone needed some time to try and take in everything that was just said. I had no idea Preston threatened Cyrus and my dad, I thought Cyrus just did it because he's a terrible man that took pleasure from doing that kind of thing. I mean let's be honest he probably did enjoy it, but maybe he got too far in and there was no way out so he carried on.I was in the lobby of the court alone this time, well sort of alone as there were guards everywhere. Gray was with Josh doing I have no idea what, while Erik was talking with the prosecutor guy, aka our guy. I couldn't be seen talking with anyone from the court, in case people see and the public becomes aware of my hand in this case.I was just stood there when something catches my eye, sitting alone on one of the chairs was Cyrus. He sat with his ha
The Kings Mate Taken Care Of
As we enter the courthouse I see all the guards.... well guarding, I probably haven't seen this amount of guards in one place ever! And I have seen a lot of them. Erik said the publics shock they felt at first has turned into anger, for Preston's safety most of the castle guards are here. I mean I know he's a horrible man that is about to pay for what he did, but he doesn't deserve an angry mob attacking him.Gray turns and gives me a look, he must have been invading my thoughts again and disagreed with what I thought. We soon reach the ginormous staircase, last time we were here I didn't have my wolf which made the journey up this staircase quite difficult. I'm hoping now my wolf is back in her annoying place."Annoying?! As you said without me you didn't manage to get up the stairs" she snaps in my mind, I didn't say I didn't manage to get up the stairs and I actually did get up the stairs f
The Kings Mate Goes Nothing
It was the next morning, the day of Preston's trial. I thought going into this I would be more nervous, but I actually wasn't. We had Cyrus and my dad for starters, we have down some intense research on him and he even confessed! We knew for definite that he'd get some time for Matilda and we have so much evidence on all the other crimes, this is gonna be a clean sweep!I got dressed into my most sophisticated outfit but also, not too sophisticated. I knew this was my last day staying here with my parents, they were being moved into a different house after the trial. One because this is just a safe house and is not made for constant living and second, Cyrus came here yesterday so they wouldn't be safe away from him, even though I'm having guards watch his every move.I walk down the stairs that opened to the living room, my mother was tying my d
The Kings Mate Is The Day
I was sitting on the sofa of my parents safe house, my mum had me change out of my wet clothes and into something warmer before I caught a cold. I explained everything that happened and they were kind of shocked, my mother held my hand as I explained the whole thing."You can stay here as long as you like" she smiles squeezing my hand as she spoke "you're the reason we get to live like this, finally away from that monster" she continues, I knew she was talking about Cyrus."He's also getting released after the trial, don't worry he's going to be closely watched and will never get anywhere near you" I say looking at both of them, my dad just smiles coming to sit beside me."It's okay Clara, all we want to is to have some sort of
The Kings Mate Some Space
I arrive home in no time, I head straight to the bedroom where I lock the door behind me. I needed to be left alone for a while to try and process what just happened, if that was even remotely possible to do. I begin to pace the room, I was trying to come up with an explanation but I found none! Why would Erik do something like that? The dude was literally just trying to tell me about his brother, who apparently worked with me at the beginning. This causes me to rack my brain to try and remember anybody who doesn't work for me anymore, I mean there's been a ton of guards who have worked with me for awhile, could one of those men be the one he was talking about? I just don't know!The door handle moving is what breaks me from my pacing thoughts, once the person realises the door is indeed locked, they begin to knock."My love, open the door" Gray
The Kings Mate Didn’t Want To Know
Erik and I sat in the room for a while, at first all we could hear was the commotion outside with Gray but now, it was weirdly quiet. At the time I think I still had a little of my wolfs Queen mode on, but now I've settled down a little I'm starting to regret allowing Gray to attack them. Yes I know they tried to hurt me and it's so lucky that Gray was there, but he could have just knocked them out and allow guards to come. That would have been the more appropriate way of handling the situation, especially, with the court case going on right now.The jury were still deliberating which I was more nervous about, I hope I said enough for them to see that Daisy would never wish to harm anyone. Erik told me he didn't know I had that side of me and if I'm honest, I had no idea I had that side of me either. I knew I had a tougher side to me due to me using it before, but I didn't know I could be that heartless when the o
The Kings Mate See You Try
After a little run around outside, I walk back into court extremely calm and collected. Gray and I shifted and ran through the surrounding woods, it felt so good to finally feel like me again and another great thing! After I shifted back into my human form my arms were completely healed, it really doesn't get better than that!As I take my seat once again I spot Josh and Daisy having a conversation, she looked beyond worried with Josh trying to calm her down. Due to my wolf, I didn't hear the last part of the trial, so I was clueless on how it actually went. The jury make their way back in which causes everyone to get back in their seats, well apart from me I was already in my seat. Gray takes his while also taking my hand, he was also super nervous about this all too, no one knew if they did enough to prove her innocence.One of the jury member
