Miranda Bonham
"I am Prince Nixon Edington," he said.
I looked at him, trying to figure out if he was lying.
"If you are really a prince, then what are you doing out here?" I asked, waving my arms around the room.
"Where is your kingdom?" I asked, in a mocking tone.
"My father, King Luther, is the ruler of The Island of Wolves. I was sent here to capture your father- along with other Wolves- for treason."
I was hearing his words, but I couldn't understand them. To me, they made no sense.
"What did my dad do? Where is that Island? How come I've never heard of it before?" I took a few steps away from him, suddenly feeling claustrophobic.
"When I got here, I wasn't expecting your dad to have his own pack. He made himself an Alpha, and got other Wolves to follow him. Miranda, that's against the law," Nixon said, his voice sounding angry. I could hear the urgency in his voice- willing me to believe him.
Everything he was saying was- unbelievable. Why would my dad do that? I wanted to trust what Nixon was saying. My Wolf was telling me to listen to him. But, if Nixon was right- that meant all my life had basically been a lie.
"How do I know that what you are saying is true?" I asked him, holding to the last bit of hope I had left.
"You should listen to what your Wolf is telling you. What does she say? Am I lying, or not?"
"What you just said doesn't make any sense. You are actually expecting me to believe that you are a prince? That my father is a traitor? Do you have any idea how much my father has helped the people from our pack?" I yelled, feeling angry by his words. Nixon seemed to back off, but he was still looking mad.
"He didn't have to help them. All they had to do was go to The Island, and we would've taken care of them. Instead, they chose to come and follow a false leader- one that has only led them to trouble."
I remained silent, not knowing how to respond to his comment.
