Chapter 15

We look at each other, I could tell he was shocked, as I, but we both refuse to let it show in front of the queen.

There is silence, as he forms what he will say, "This is the wolf?" He puts a hand on his face and his eyes narrow.

The queen looks over at him, "Yes son," She then points towards me, "And as you shall take the throne soon, create her punishment."

Son? Thone?! None of that makes sense, he is part wolf; yet he is to take the throne of these vampires? From what Father had told me, they were based on the royal rules as well, including that royals couldn't cross mate. He said it was because they wanted to keep the strength of their power and keep growing it, which made me wonder how he was not concerned.

His eyes widen, he seemed alarmed, and makes me wonder if his mother had not told him what he was here for. There is a long moment of silence, it was odd to me that I wasn't scared of what he would say.

"Well?" The queen seemed to be getting agitated and wanted an answer soon. I could sense the overfilling sorrow in his eyes.

"We do not have all day, Micah." She clears her throat.

Micah opens his mouth about an inch before closing back again, then he looks at the queen, "I feel the right punishment for her is to stay here for 6 months. She will learn about us and see that we are not to be messed with, it will also show her fellow royals."

Stay here for 6 months?! That is the entire time I have before going back! I won't get the chance to see what is beyond the forest after all.

The queen nods and smiles warmly at Micah, "Brilliant son. It shall teach her and the others not to mess with us again."

Even though I was disappointed with the outcome, I know he chose the safest route for me; who knew what worse punishments were? The only thing I wanted out of this was to know more about him, and how I got here.

All I want is answers and I don't know when I will get them.

A little while after dark a guard comes to get me, "Your room quarters have been made." She was blonde but had the same eyes as Iris, I think her name was Lina, she has normally been the one at my door. She is really sweet, but doesn't let the others know, so I assume there is another one outside.

She unlocks my cuffs for me to get up. I stumble a bit before regaining my balance and walking out the door, the queen was right outside.

"Hello wolf." She was acting strangely, nicer almost, but then I saw Micah behind her and realized it was just an act to make her son happy. I fold my arms and tense, I allow her to fell as she is looking down at me, and I couldn't care less.

He was in a button up, his hair slicked back out of his face, he looked much fancier than when I first met him, the queen must not be the only one keeping secrets from the other.

"My son has told me how-" She pauses, "attached you are with your-" She pauses again, this time taking a deep breath, "wolf spirits. So, he got me to allow you a room, and he shall tell you where yours is in the morning." She gives a fake smile before turning to the side and walking down the hall to the corridors.

"Lina, come I have instructions for her watch tonight." The queen beckons her with her finger, Lina hesitates and looks at Micah for reassurance that I will be watched. Micah nods and she runs over to the queen.

Micah looks over at me and gives a saddened smile, he reaches for my shoulder making me flinch. He draws back in less than a second, but I give a slight nod. He delicately touches my shoulder, "I'm sorry Angel, I'll figure this out, I promise."

Before I can respond, Micah pulls away and Lina runs back. She gives us skeptical look.

"Sorry, I was making sure she wouldn't run." He smiles before walking in the opposite direction.

Lina gives it no thought and guides me to my new room, we walk in the same direction as Micah, but we go up a flight after he enters a room.

We walk down yet another hall and she stops at a small brown door, "This is it." Lina digs in her pocket for keys and flips through each one until she finds a little grey key with the number "12" on it, and if my guess is correct, I am right above the room Micah went in.

Lina unlocks the door and ushers me in, she follows and closes the door behind us, it was a good-sized room, with a large queen bed in the middle, a white quilt draped over the entire mattress. I stay where I am, but my eyes roam, there was a small nightstand on the left side of the bed with my bag on it, and I sigh with relief.

"Not to your standards Royal?" She was half joking but it scared the crap out of me.

I whip around to face her, "No, it is beautiful, I was just happy to see my bag." I walk over and run my fingers on the fabric. It wasn't even the bag that I was happy about, it was about what I had inside. I then realize that I just stood up to a vampire guard.

I shrink in, "I'm sorry…" I look over at her, my eyes widened, "You just let me into a nice room after who knows what my wolf, and what I just did was completely rude and out of line and I-" I begin rambling and her face expression changes as a sign to stop talking.

"You don't have to explain yourself to me." She leans against the door, crossing her legs, "The queen had you in a cell after you lost control of your wolf and it took her son to come for her to see what she did?" She then mutters, "Not like she really cares anyway." Then she looks back up at me, "It's understandable that you are upset."

"I-thank you." We look at each other for a second in contented silence, "I do have a question though."

Lina nods.

"Why does the queen hate me?"
