DALEIA

Bad Timing

So here I was dressed all prim and proper being taken to the pack house to have dinner with the alpha and the Luna of my pack and the beta who I was now mated to , the dress was a little too tight on me , and it was a deep red and  because of the burn mark bruise things on my body , that had unfortunately, started to sting it was a high necked long sleeved long dress, the marks on my face were easy to hide with the highly unflattering amount of makeup they had dumped on my face to hide the bruises there. Thanks to nothing but the grace of the moon goddess I had flats on under the dress because of my ridiculous height, I am a pretty tall woman. We were  currently in the car on our way to the packhouse and all I was thinking about was when I would be able to get out of that awful dress.

It was obvious why I needed to be wearing this dress when I arrived and why it was way tighter than it should have been, I felt is eyes cascading up and down my body before I even set my eyes on him, he was tall but if I had high heels on I would have an inch or three on him.. Another reason Luna ditched the shoes I see. 

He had a mischievous glint in his chestnut eyes a heavy brow resting atop the both of them, he winks and continues talking to the alpha and I take a moment to fully assess the person I was to be mated to , his voice was too loud as he let out a laugh at what someone had said ,he used a lot of hand gestures as he spoke , that had to be distracting to the person he was talking to, he was handsome , without a doubt with the high cheekbones and the perfect jaw line , any she wolf would melt at the size of those arms fighting hard against the fabric of his suit jacket , which didn't help in his already devilishly drool worthy appearance , he had the broad shoulders and he obviously oozed appeal but for obvious reasons he just wasn't for me , and I could already see my miserable life with this man forever ... I felt like weeping at the thought .

"You've been standing alone for quite some time darling care to dance"

I hadn't realized that there was an option to dance seeing as this was a four person party but I was ...as you can tell now grossly mistaken. The alpha and Luna are swaying to the light music playing in the background of the dining room as well and one look from the alpha send my polite decline back down my throat .

"Certainly"

He grabs me, harsher than I expect and begins swaying us to the beat, holding me way closer than what I thought appropriate with an audience. Throughout the dance he says nothing , just continues basically manhandling me until I step on his toes , by "accident" of course and it brings the dance a rather abrupt end but of course as I walk to take my seat he grabs my behind squeezing it as he walks past me , I let out a harsh gasp looking around wildly for at least someone to acknowledge the utterly disgusting act but no one does as they all gaze at me expectantly from the table waiting for me to come and join  what is to be a very very uncomfortable meal.

As I sit and the dinner commences they begin to converse, the disgusting man beside me throwing his free hand on my thigh , i resist the urge to growl at him. They talk freely, the discussion ranging between basic pack life to the meal that was served. During all of this I take small bites of the meal and listen hoping to hear something that might peak my interest, and ultimately something does and it sends a chill right down my spine.

"the Kings death is a rather unfortunate situation, it happened really suddenly too and the royal family has been quiet about it since, I wonder what happened"

The king had died! King Maximillian?!

 When?  and why did I not know about something that important. The death of a king was not somethingthat happened all too often and definately not under the shroud of such secrecy i doubted the pack knew . why? what was happening?

"When?"

They look at me, the alpha in warning as I had cut him off while he was speaking, I guess it was a shock considering the fact that I hadn't spoken all night I shrink back into my seat. hoping for the chair to swallow me whole. 

"about two days ago" the beta states rubbing my thigh weirdly close to my nether regions I hold back the urge to swat him away and choose to instead cross my legs causing his hand to slide right off my thigh. Victory.

I think on it and I remember the visions I had been having and the weird connection between the time of his death and the time of my vision, the fact that he had died the day after my weird vision meltdown. My brows shoot up, but before I go to tell the alpha that I may not be as crazy as he had the whole pack believing, he growls directly at me shutting me right up. I guess Mr. Handsy over here had no idea about my little talent.

The night continues on as if I had not spoken and sooner rather than later im being escorted to the cars by my new mate, my bags already in them, it was actually happening, I was being sent away because of what was going on with me, panic hits me and before i lose my nerve , I turn around and run to the alpha 

" my visions were right, I'm not crazy Luna tell him I'm not crazy, I told you the king was going to die and you shut me up why? What's going on? please tell me something "

 I was getting agitated this was my last and final plea I knew something was going on and they would have to tell me what
" shut up and go get in the car Daleia "
" but alpha listen to me , I saw more things , this has to be connected ...my visions are coming true" I shout

I'm confused, in tears and desperate not to mention the fact that I felt suffocated in that ridiculous dress
" what is he talking about Lewis, what visions? What is going on with this girl? She knew he king was going to die? How? "

I pale , I was for sure dead now and with the look the alpha was sending me , I might as well have been six feet under but.. I didn't care

 
" I had a vision about this Beta Lucas but they wouldn't believe me ! They thought I was crazy! they had me believing I was crazy "
I feel my bruises start to hurt and my breaths shorten then a white light I know all too well blinds me yet again and I see more flashing images but his time they halt towards the end for me to see an old hand with a dark ruby ring pouring dark liquid into a gold challis. All too soon my vision disappears and I regain consciousness and when I do I am in the arms of Lucas and the burning returns, as violent if not more than the last time and the Betas arms around me keep making me burn hotter, hurting me, punishing me but I can't speak, I cant make him take his hands of me then i hear him shout.

" take her to the King " then I fall into the abyss of black.

Talk about bad timing.
