I remain alone in the dark warehouse for a few minutes, I was pulling at the tight ropes that held my hands together but it was no use. I also kept trying to mind-link Gray but it never went through, whatever chemical Rupert held to my face has done something to my wolf. It was eerily quiet which made my stomach turn, I didn't know where he took Lizzy or what he was doing to her.
A few more silent minutes go by until the door opens once again, Rupert walks in alone which again just makes me sick to my stomach, where's Lizzy?
"Now that's taken care of" he smiles knelling down in front of me, I didn't know what was going through his head but I didn't like it "me and you are gonna

The Kings Mate Sick Joke
I lay in the cold freezing night for hours, the only sound I heard was the crashing of the water on the side of the dock. I could barely move due to my body being so cold, my body felt numb as I lay there staring at the side of the old wooden dock. I was just holding out hope that Rupert or Lizzy who pop their head out, they would tell me it was some sick joke and it was all going to be okay. But that didn't happen.The ropes around my hands felt tight and were piecing through my skin, I somehow went passed the feeling of pain with my hands. They hurt for a few hours but now were numb, as like my whole body. The wind began to pick up sending a even bigger chill through my body, to make matters worse mist had started to form which meant I was getting wet. I repeatedly try to mind-link Gray or anyone, but as like before I couldn't. Whatever chemical he held to my face has caused a total loss of communication between

I open my eyes to discover I'm laying in bed, my hands stung as I look down to see them wrapped up in bandages. Beside me was Gray sleeping peacefully with his arm wrapped around my stomach, he didn't leave me like he promised he wouldn't. It was pouring with rain outside which was quite fitting for what happened, than I start to wonder if they've managed to get Rupert and Lizzy out the lake yet. It was pitch black when I left last night, you could barely see your own hand, just image trying to find two people in the lake. I hope they're not down there too long.Gray's phone ringing from across the room causes us both to jump, he looks across at the phone but his head soon whips around to me."You are awake, you aren't in any pain are you?" He asks me sitting up straight, while his phone still rang in the background.

Today was the day of Lizzy's funeral, I done a lot of crying in the morning yesterday so I'll try to keep the tears at bay for Gray. He hasn't shown any emotion towards what happened to his mother, I don't think he's fully had time to absorb what's happened yet, whenever he does I'll be there.Late afternoon yesterday is when we announced her funeral, Gray stuck with the story that they had located her body after all this time and she was finally being put to rest. Honestly, a part of me thinks that statement isn't fully false, hear me out before you think I'm crazy. Before the awful killing of Matilda, Lizzy was a different person. From the stories Gray's told me and the pictures I've saw, but also the things I've heard from her old friends, she was this positive ball of light that you never saw frowning. She was always up to help people and would go out of her way to ensure everyone was safe, it's still unfortunate that she was mated to a man like Preston. But

I met Erik in the lobby and explained what was happening, he was rather shocked but once I explained the trial part he was all for it. We start to make our way down the halls and towards the basement, where the the entrance to the dungeons were located.As we start to walk down the halls I spot crowds of people gathered outside the gates, they all wore black with most of them holding flowers in their hands."People have been arriving since the news broke, they've been laying flowers for the former Queen" Erik explains noticing I was looking, I just smile at the thought of all the love that Lizzy was receiving.Once I make to the basement my usual guards stood by the door, but a new one catches my eye and nearly make tears build up in my eyes. Stood there was the man that found

We continue on our journey up to where her funeral is being held, people start to notice Preston as you hear a series of gasp and whispering. It's better to get all the gasps out out the way today and not next week, Erik and I didn't go through months of paperwork and hearing horrible stories for him to get away with it, as people are shocked to see him alive. Gray's face doesn't change as we continue on our journey and arrive at hill but with steps to get to the top, when we reach the top is where I see the white coffin stood and have to gulp the feeling of crying down.Preston didn't gulp his feelings down and ended up breaking down beside me, I turn to look at him where he was just kneeling on the floor crying. I then turn to Gray who just looks at him with a face of disgust, I guess he isn't going to help move him to his seat. I look at some guards in suits, they seem to get what I was trying to say and two of

It's been a few days since Lizzy's funeral, Preston has been all anyone is talking about recently. You would think they would be more interested in the fact that everyone thought he was dead, but then suddenly appeared at his mates funeral but no. According to Erik all they could talk about was him confessing to killing Matilda, most people didn't even know that they had another child, they all assumed it was only Gray.Talking of Gray he's been so stressed out, if you remember back when Rupert attacked the castle, the officials blamed Daisy for enabling the attack. They're full force going at Daisy due to Rupert not being around anymore, they still want to hold someone accountable and Daisy's the only one they can. Her trials set for tomorrow, they wanted to get her trial out of the way before Preston's much harder trial comes along. Now you're probably thinking, Clara but didn't you and Erik fire those officials

Today was the day of Daisy's trial, I've been kept out of the loop with Daisy due to Preston, so I really wasn't sure how this was going to go. But I had faith in Gray and Josh, at the end of the day we'll know if she can walk free and I can give her a hug, or if she needs to be sent to jail.It just sucks that the trial is about the attack on me, yet I can't talk and give my side of the story to help her. I know exactly what happened and exactly what she was trying to tell me but for some reason, I'm not allowed to give evidence. Some of these rules I need to follow are just plain weird.Gray once again, wasn't there when I woke up and left me another note. He wanted to have a quick meeting with Josh and Daisy before, for obvious reason I couldn't join him. I have to meet him outside the courthouse, which I have no idea where it is. Luckily, Er

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

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 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
