Chapter 14

I blacked out, I have no idea what happened after, if she had killed them, or if they had finally stopped her.

I felt woozy yet again, but this time it feels different, I feel drained. I open my eyes, and yet it was another room. I try to get up, but I realize I am chained, "Sky what did you do?" there was no answer.

"Sky?" My first thought was that she was mad at me, "Sky you better stop ignoring me, you did this!" I was growing in flames until I realize why I felt different, drained, empty, Sky was gone.

I begin to worry; Father has never told me about a wolf leaving. I feel myself trying to cry, I lay my head on my knees.

"Well. Well. Well. I see the pain in the Royal ass has woken up. Feel any different?" I hear a chuckle. This was another new voice, another new face to meet.

Great.

I look up with blurry eyes, it was 3 vamps, all men. I sniffle and inch away, but the one that laughed grabbed my hand and pulled me towards them, "Does the little princess miss her dog?" They all laugh.

"Enough. I did not bring you with me to discuss, humor." A female figure steps into the light from behind them, her pitch-black hair covered most of her face, but I could still see her blood red eyes behind a few strands.

"Now unlock her foot restraints and we shall go to the corridors." She swiftly turns and begins walking back into the darkness.

All three of the men surround me and smile, "This will be fun to watch." They lean closer.

"I do not have time for your antics." The female shouts from outside, and the men stop smiling and uncuff my legs. They hoist me up and push me into the hallway.

It was dimly lit, with only a few candles on the walls of the hall. The walls were stone, and I could sense that this building was old. We stop in front of a large double door.

The female knocks twice before the door opens. She stands still until a voice speaks, "Leave the 3 outside. Iris, bring me the mutt."

The men let me go and I walk forward for fear if I do not, they will kill me. I fall in line behind the female.

Inside there is a large throne much like Mother's and father's but instead of two there is only one. Another female is sitting there, a large gown draped to the floor and a crown placed in around the bun on her head.

Vampires followed royal rules much more than wolves and it shows.

"Come." Her voice was a mixture of strict and gentle, it concerned me.

I walk towards her and stop at the first step, I bow to her, "Stand." I get back up quickly; I could feel I was trembling.

"Never bow to me again." Her voice became harsh, but she cleared her throat and became gentle once again, "We have more essential matters to discuss rather than me listing our rules for a royal mutt." I could feel the venom in her voice as she said the last few words. I think that the hatred between wolves and vampires is present here, but it could also be because of what I did.

"I am quite convinced you have grasped the situation you and your mutt entered. Correct?" She looks at me blankly.

I nod and inhale deeply, "Yes Ma'am."

"Stunning." She smiles, almost sinisterly. She taps her fingers on her armrest, then she furrows her brows, "I find it difficult to seek a punishment for you." She looks over at the female behind me, "Iris, escort her back to her room, I shall call for you once my son comes. He shall figure her punishment."

She shoos us out and Iris leads me back to my "room", she closes the door behind me, and I can hear her lock it.

I can't tell how many days it has been, somewhere around 2-4. They have fed me with little amounts of animal flesh they were going to throw out. It was always dry, drained of all its blood, it disgusted me, and if I had not been starving, I would have thrown up. I often found myself thinking about how it would feel to die like that, slow and painful.

I hear a knock at my door, right before it opens, Iris was there, "The prince is ready for your presence." She didn't have to tell me, I already knew, she has not come here since I met with the queen.

She comes closer and unlocks both cuffs, "The prince is not fond of, restraints." I stand and she grabs my arm, "Do not try anything mutt." She keeps hold of my right arm and leads me to the corridors again.

She knocks twice before the door opens, "Come."

We enter and I see the queen in her throne yet again, with a different ginormous gown, but the person standing next to her was all too familiar.
