last update Last Updated: 2023-04-27 15:45:49

"I'll keep my fire, so it will burn you" I said to him and he chuckled.

"What if you end up getting burned by it?" he asks me and I shake my head. "No never. It'll protect my mother and I " I say and he nods "You see the thing is, I was in a good mood to take you to see your mother, because of the perfect acting you displayed a few minutes ago but here we are with you still behaving like a little child." he says and tears come to my eyes. "Don't you dare lie, you threatened me with the life of my mother, you killed my father and  you removed his head and his heart. I do not owe you anything " I say to him and he trails his hand up my arm and to my shoulder. Walks two of his fingers to the dip of my neck where my collar bones meet and he grabbed my neck holding on to it. "You owe me your life. that's what you owe me. Every drop of blood and water in your body. You soul and your spirit too. I own them because your father signed you off to me " he says tightening his hand around my throat and I hold on to it not even flinching. "We both know that you cutting off the finger of a dead man and stamping it in a document doesn't mean he stamped that document " I growl back at him as well and he laughs before leaning down and looking into my eyes. "I told your father he would sign it dead or alive. He ended up choosing the former " he said. "I hate you with every fibre of my being. With my body, spirit and soul" I whisper back at him, hatred burning in my eyes. "And I'll end your pathetic life with my bare hands "I add shrugging his hands off and turning back to the window. ," After this I won't repeat myself.

Please leave " I manage to whisper under my breath and after 30 seconds I hear him leave. I shudder as all the courage I had managed to muster flows out of my body.

I didn't think he would leave my room but he gave me my privacy and I sighed. I needed to calm down, with my show of courage, he was someone who could kill on whims.

I grab my dinner and uncover it to see sweet yummy steak.

My mouth waters and I fall deeper in love with Madam Silver.

I have a really hearty meal and I wash up immediately after.

I sat in bed and thought about the document Lucien sighed with my father's thumb. I think on what my father could have done to warrant him a death as gruesome as that and why I was the prize that Alpha Lucien wanted. I mean he could have had my father's kingdom but he covered it in ashes and blood. I lay back and try to sleep, but I find no rest and I stare at the ceiling thinking of what my mother was  currently going through. I remember that evil meeting, they didn't even bother with covering their faces, like if their identities were found out it didn't matter. Why was I  forced to come and act like I was in love with that monster and getting married to him?.

Was she clothed, was she fed, was she cold, was she in pain or was she already dead? I asked myself. Time was going slow and I was staring at the ceiling unable to sleep. I check under my pillow and feel the knife I kept there and relief flooded me.

I check the time and sighed. I'm pretty sure it's been 1:31 for the past two hours. I turn over again and again and wonder what's up with this sudden insomnia that has hit me. I sit up abruptly and check the time again. 1:32.

Maybe it was the fact that my mother was in the dungeons and I was trying to have a good night sleep here." I have to find it" I tell myself as  I walk to the door and try the door knob. It turns easily and I swallow hard. Dungeons were usually underground right, meaning that any way I went, I had to end up downstairs. I remember going to that evil meeting and immediately my instincts tell me I need to go that way.

I walk down the hallway and down the stairs remembering the route James took me through when I went for that meeting earlier today. I follow through and see the room but that is all, no other room anywhere and it makes sense for it to be an hidden room. I walk into the conference room and run my hands under the table, checking if there was a button anywhere. I see a paper on the roundly shaped table that says Lycan princess written in black coloured pen circled a couple of times.

"Who the fuck is that?" I whisper to my self. I consider going back upstairs but I wasn't about to give up. My mother needed me and for once in my life I am going to prove myself useful to her. I heard a ding sound, as if though an elevator was opening and I duck underneath the table.

I peek to see James and another guy I have never seen before ever since I got here come out of an opened wall. I was so surprised that I almost tripped but I'm still myself and I remember not to make any movements or any sort of noise  till the voices fade into the distance and I immediately move to the spot James had just vacated.

I run my hands across the walls and try to move the Large painting in front of it, until I knock on a particular square in the wall and then a wall shifts back and I'm staring at a deep and dark hallway that I guessed would lead me to the dungeon. I walk the hallway and look shocked as I see so many empty cells. I almost turn back when I see an handsome guy chained  to the chair.

A part of his shirt is torn and I'm forced to look at his hard chiseled chest or at his gorgeous face. I  walk into his cell,  he looks at me looking groggy with beautiful baby blue eyes. . Whatever they gave him must have worn off.

"Did I get a  change of guards or something?" he asks sounding like he wasn't really conscious yet.

"Or did I die already ?" he asks and I can't help but giggle.

"You're very much alive and no, you did not get a change of guards." I explained to him wondering if he would actually understand anything I said.

"I just came into the wrong cell room" I say and he shakes his head. "I don't believe that" he says and I roll my eyes.

"What's your name?" he asks and I refuse to tell him my name. I ignore him and turn to leave the room, I hear voices down the hallway and I hide placing my back against the wall that held the gate.

"What are-?" he asks and I shush him immediately. He keeps quiet. I watch as a mischievous smile grace his lips. I shake my head again and he whispers "on one condition, you tell me your name" I nod my head and he keeps quiet. We both watch as the shadows stop and I twist my fingers in fear. My gut curled at what Alpha Lucien would do if I got caught here snooping around like  a rat.

I look at the occupant of this cell and I as we lock eyes for a minute, his eyes grow 3 times  bigger and then close, making him look like he was relaxed and sleeping. I peek to see the shadows were gone and I sigh taking a step when I hear him grunt shaking his head, snapping out of his pretend sleep.

"It's been a while since this one woke up, did you double the dosage or something?" a gravelly voice asks and I heard James say "No it's the usual, maybe he's really tired"

I clamp my hand over my mouth, to prevent me from screaming out in fear as I listened to my racing heart, I stayed pressed to the wall for about 3 minutes when I start to remember how long I have left my room and I gulp getting reminded by my subconscious and thinking of the possible things Alpha Lucien would do if I get caught.

Finally the voices start again and so does the footsteps as they start to recede. I sigh and look up to see the man tied to the chair, amused. "Tell me your name ,pretty lady" he says and I shake my head. "Thank you for helping me" I say and he laughs a little.

"You might not tell me yours even after we had agreed but I'll tell you my name. My name is Tyler. Nice to meet you pretty lady" he says and I shake my head. I trace my way back till I am back at the conference room, holding my breath, I tiptoe up the stairs and duck when I see a guard coming my way. His radio crackles and all he says is "okay" into the radio before he turns back and goes to someplace else. I rush to my door and shudder with relief when I find the door is opened. I go into the room and press my back against the door, my heart racing.

"What just happened?" I whispered to myself. I ran up to my bed and get under the covers immediately. I think of my mom and pray for her safety. "I tried my best this night, I'll try again another night" I whispered and then finally, the much awaited sleep hit me like a fright train.

    We both stand panting in the middle of the forest, surrounded by broken trees and torn-up road. The air is charged with tension, and it's clear that neither of us is backing down. "You're a strong old man," I say, my voice tight. Raphael laughs, but there's a hint of bitterness in his laugh. "And you're a persistent young fella," he says. I can tell that he's getting tired, but so am I. This battle could go on for hours, and I'm not sure how much longer I can last.Raphael launches at me, his fist colliding with my face. I fly backwards, crashing into a tree. I try to stand up, but my body feels heavy and sluggish. My vision is blurry, and I can barely make out Raphael's figure through the haze. He walks towards me, his face cold and expressionless. I know he's about to deliver the final blow, and I can't do anything to stop him.As I stand there, resigned to my fate, I hear a voice calling my name. I try to focus, but my vision is still blurry.

    I try to push myself to my feet, but it's like my body has given up on me. I feel like I'm going to pass out, but then I feel a warm touch on my shoulders. "Lucien," a familiar voice says. I look up, and I see Natasha, standing over me. I'm surprised to see her here, but I'm also relieved. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "I can't just stay home while everyone else is fighting," she says, her eyes determined. "This is my mess too." Natasha helps me to my feet, and I feel a little better. Then she takes out a knife and slits her wrist, offering me the blood that flows from the wound. I know that drinking her blood will make me stronger, so I take a drop. But as soon as I do, the strength rushes through me so fast that I lose my balance and crash into the stone floor of the temple. It's a jarring blow, but I feel my strength returning. I look up at Natasha, and I see a determined look on her face. "We have to stop them," she says.Before I can even get to my feet, I'm kicked in the sid

    After our first clash, Arturo raises his hands, his fingers glowing with power. He shouts "Let thunder be my guide!" and a bolt of lightning descends from the sky, heading straight for me. I leap out of the way just in time, the lightning striking the ground where I was standing a moment ago. I pounce on Arturo, my claws tearing into his chest. He staggers back, but then he laughs. "You're fast," he says, his eyes glittering. "But let's see if you can keep it up and if that was not a fluke."Arturo's power is incredible, his spells strong and fast. But my current strength is a match for him. I leap and dodge, the trees around us cracking and falling as our battle rages on. Leaves and twigs fly through the air, and the earth shudders with every blow we land. It's a fierce and deadly dance, and I can feel my strength waning. But I won't give up, not until the battle is won.I lunge at Arturo, aiming to take him down, but he's faster than I thought. He sidesteps my attack, and then his h

    There's a shortcut to the temple, and I know it like the back of my hand. It's a winding path that few know about, and it's shrouded in mystery. As we run, our speed increases, until we're moving at the maximum speed that a werewolf can travel. The air rushes past us, and I feel like I could run forever. But there's no time for that now. We need to reach the temple before Aurora does.We're stopped in our tracks by a huge crack in the earth. It's as if an earthquake has split the land in two. I'm about to jump across when Sam appears, teleporting in a flash of light. "This is the advantage of being a witch," he says, a smug grin on his face. "I can just teleport across." I feel a surge of annoyance, but I know he's right. I grin, and I leap into the air with all the strength I have. I feel the wind rushing past me, and for a moment, I feel weightless. Then I land on the other side, my feet hitting the ground with a thud. Jacob is still on the other side, looking at me in disbelief.

As if that’s not enough he dashes at Jacob and forces a few drops into his mouth. He takes some for himself before stretching the rest to Sam, “drink up” a diabolical tone in his voice. Lucien’s too scary for me to actually believe he’s lovable.I hold my wrist, the pain searing through my body. My eyes are full of fury as I glare at Lucien. "Why did you do that?" I demand. "Why did you slit my wrist so that you could taste my blood?" Lucien stands before me, and he is the picture of calm. He seems unfazed by my anger, and it only fuels my rage. "Your blood is special, Natasha, according to your mother," he says. "It's powerful. I think I might need it for my plan to work." His words send a chi
