My eyes went wide at the scene before me. Were the wolves actually bowing to me. I looked at Gabriel for comfirmation. He nodded at me "They want to help you restore your blood line. The king and queen did great things for us" He said to me. "This pack served under the king Edward and Queen Esmerelda" " I though wolves hated us vampires" He smiled showing his sparkling white teeth. "We are the outcasted wolves for following vampire royalty. Our blood is mixed with yours from an incident that happened years ago. For generations we have protected the royal family" "B-but your not under our control anymore, your free." Gabriel's smile widened. "We don't want to be, princess" I looked at what seemed to be a hundred werewolves that bowed to me. "We wish to help you" This was all to much to handle. Was this why Eric was around me so often? to protect me. I fainted.

"Your so stubborn" Eric whispered in my ear as he held my arms above my head. My body was against him and the wall.I glowered at him, this stubborn wolf. Why the hell was he around anyway. "You cannot be serious! i almost had you" I growled. I kneed him in the groin as hard as my fluffy dress allowed. Eric crumbled to the ground grabbing his boys. I stared as his handsome face twisted in agony. I could see his fangs petruding from his lips.
I laughed standing over him." I am getting better at self defense" "That was a low blow" he said through clenched teeth. "Same.same" I whispered kneeling beside him. He finally released himself turning onto his back. Eric's wise eyes stared into mine. "Your eyes dim with age" I commented. He smiled "I am old" he said.He was right Eric was more than three hundred years old, he's seen more in his life than the average man. "Queen, your husband would murder me if he knew about this"
I could hear foot steps in the hall i knew Eric did aswell. I could feel Lances presence enter the hallway though as quickly as it came it disappeared. He was trying to hide his presence from us. I looked at Eric warily as he frowned turning toward me and away from the door. "He will not know of this, I promise." We were training in secret for my escape. I would have to be able to defend myself without the royal guards. Since i could always use my pureblood powers it was alright, but with lack of blood i had no choice but to rely on physical strength.
"This is wrong." I whispered. I want to stop this. I just wanted to be with Lance, but that would never happen. I needed to restore my family. I needed to destroy the root of all evils Elizibeth. "Eric? Harmony?" Lance looked from me to him. I was squatting beside Eric on the floor. Lance looked confused.
"Whats wrong brother?" Eric whispered sitting up. Lance ran a nervous hand down his hair making the ribbon fall out. He looked at me apologetically. "I thought-I though Harmony was cheating on me" He closed the distance between us locking me in air tight hug. "I'm so glad its not" he whispered.
I stared at the ceiling looking at the tall grain detailing. This could not be real, from what i could remember it was only a few wolves that hung around. The memories were haze filled but i could remember. I could remember the awful day that no one came to help us. It was as if the entire staff we had were betraying us. Now i had a small pack of wolves at my disposal. My hands slid through my hair stopping short of my neck. I gave a small moan when i realized my long hair was no longer there. I growled i should have told Eric that i didn't need this small army
. Then again how would i tell him if i had not seen it coming. "Is she awake?" Kyle asked in his low british accent. "Hell if i know" Gabriel growled. "Its your fault for not handling the situation better!" Kyo whispered. "She is a princess she is supposed to be strong" "She has been awake for more than 48 hours! She is weakened in the sun" "It.Is.Night!" Gabriel retorted. "Fatigue" Kim whispered. I felt a slight sickness well within my stomach. I groaned sitting up laying my hand over my stomach. I was just hungry that had to be it. I would never pass out like that just from a few days without sleep. I glanced around the room taking in the deep purple walls and old pictures of my family from the castle. I was not in the picture seeing as i was the secret child.
Though it was a beautiful painting of my mother, father, and brother. They were in their royal clothing my brother stood between the two of them. He was no more than thirteen the real heir to the Atllee throne. We had to find him only he could help defeat Elizabeth. "Princess?" Gabriel called. "You may enter" I whispered knowing he could hear me. Slowly i descended from the golden bed the sheets were a beautiful sea of satin purple deep an rich.
The coldness of the marble sent shivers up my spine. A rush of wind came when the door opened. "How long was i asleep?" I whispered. "Two days" Kyo whispered. I growled this was not happening, i was losing precious time to look for my bother. "I need to" I stared at Gabriel intently. "Gain substanance" "I see, this town is protected under werewolf territory. Even as an alpha to protect the royal family, i cannot permit you to drink blood here". "I know that!" I snapped. My voice viberated off the walls cracking them slightly. "Calm yourself,princess"
"I know. I know" I whispered. "Come to me Gabriel" Gabriel stared at me as if i had two heads, though he did as he was told. I grabbed his wrist feeling the energy of the nssAlpha flowing through veins. Slowly my fingertips burned as i stole some of his energy. "What the fu-" I let his arm go taking as much as i needed. He stared at me not understanding the skin ship. "I'm fine now." "Eric's office is in here, i think you should take a look" I nodded.
