Nightfall

Chapter 7🌙

I am woken up by someone clearing their throat. I look up and see Aaron and Elias with two other girls."Great you're awake. This is Kristen and Sophie" Aaron speaks up. I can tell by the marks on their necks that these women are their mates. Sophie is clinging to Elias, so they're clearly mated.

"It's so good to meet you..."Kristen says cheerfully,  as if I'm not in a dungeon, being kept here against my will." Great, more friends..." I say sarcastically, but they don't look offended. They look amused. At least they aren't sensitive."Alpha called us in here to check on you. We're moving you to the packhouse so we can have a humane conversation." Elias says.

Then witch bitch walks in and I am, once again, faced with an agonizingly painful headache.

I can't move, again, and my cell opens. Elias and Aaron pick me up and start carrying me towards a huge dark-wood house. There are training fields with younger wolves practicing their fighting skills. They watch curiously, wondering why a tattered girl is being escorted into their home. I'm put into a bedroom and my headache vanishes. The girls from before walking in.

"You can freshen up, and then we will take you to our Alpha." Sophie says quietly. She is a soft spoken person, with warm eyes.

They leave the room and I managed to stand. I make my way over to the bathroom and decide to shower quickly, the bathroom is fully stocked with everything I need.

After I'm finished up in the bathroom, I  crack the door open and find a pile of clothes on the bed. A black long-sleeved shirt, underwear and black joggers are folded neatly. My aching body is certainly not going to complain. I finish dressing and start coming up with a plan.

I tried cracking a window but it won't budge. The witch put a spell on it. I  groan in frustration, but also realistically I wouldn't make it far considering I am surrounded by an entire pack of wolves. It's morning  right now, so all of them will be alert... especially with my entrance into the house.

There's a knock at the door and Sophie and Kristen walk through. Sophie speaks calmly, " if we promise not to bring in Alexia, will you stay calm and listen to us?" But I'm hit with a wave of confusion. Who is Alexia. As if reading my mind, " She's the which we brought in before." Kristen says, stepping forward slightly.

One word falls from my lips.

"Okay."

They approached me slowly, eyeing me apprehensively. Sophie walks behind me while Kristen is in front, leading the way. We stop outside too large doors. Kristen knocks on the door to show we have arrived. The door is swung open and I am met with the five wolves that chased me, and Little Miss witchy.

A silence falls over the group and I am  ushered inside. The new people stand  and introduce themselves. One guy is called Klaus and the other Nickolas. The witch stands, and I can't help the way we've annoyance that takes over my mind. She says her name; Alexia and sits.

I can't control the pettiness that takes over and wave my hand through the air. A gust of wind blows through the room, and Alexia's hair is messed up. Well, I could have done worse, at least it wasn't fire.

She groans... but the rest of the group stares at me with wide eyes, all wondering how a werewolf did that. Nikolas goes to comfort Alexia, I now realise they're mates.

"How did you do that, you're a werewolf." Elias asks the question they're all thinking." I am part fae." I say simply." But you're a part of the royal family... you have to be pure blood to rule." Klaus says. That's the first time I've heard him speak.

"One of the reasons I ran away..." I hold eye contact. They all seem surprised, no doubt wondering what my other reasons are for going rogue.

It's time to open up this can of worms.

"My pack was going to merge with the Waylan pack, to help maintain order in our Kingdom..."I start explaining. "However,  my family were going to send me off with the Waylan pack's Alpha. I obviously disagreed, but my opinion didn't matter. The night you found me, I was running away. I came up with a plan but that plan was quickly put on hold when the five of you showed up." I glare at Ares, him being the one that gave the order.

"They were going to force you to mate with Demetrius... some family you have."Klaus scoffed.

Judgy.

"Can we not talk about how shitty my parents are. I have explained myself...I want to leave now."I say forcing strength into my voice, showing my authority." But what about your fated mate? If you were marked by Demetrius, you wouldn't be able to be find your actual mate." Aaron says deep in thought, holding Kristen in his arms.

"I haven't found my mate yet-" I'm cut off by a growling sound coming from the end of the table." You can't leave.  You have broken the Treaty and have to be pardoned by the royal family. Until then, you'll remain here." Ares says, all our attention falling on him." But I will be found by then and escorted back to Estiel. I have explained myself, and now I am going to leave." I tell him, turning towards the door quickly.

A cold sensation spread through my body and now I can't move, again. This is getting old. At least there's no headache this time.

"I am going to kill you, witch." I snap. I am turned around, facing the group again." You will not leave until you receive the pardon. Show her to her room." Ares says coldly, but with some amusement dancing in his eyes.

"You're wasting my time!" I get out of my mouth, before the door closes and I'm carried to the room I was previously in.

Stuck up snob.
