A harsh knock on my door followed by an angry Nathaniel storming in makes me jump.
"You don't listen." He seethes. "I gave you one instruction and you disobeyed, how fucking hard is it to listen I mean honestly!"
"It was an accident." I manage in between his rant.
He crosses his arms,"An accident?"
I nod.
"Well your 'accident' got me in a whole lot of trouble. He thinks I'm incapable of taking care of his future queen. Like, like I'm some type of lazy good for nothing-"
"Whoa excuse me wait a minute queen?" What the hell did I just walk into? I'm no queen I'm not even really ladylike.
"Did I studder? No I did not; queen yes queen. You think all werewolves live in these huge houses no just the royal ones." He says slowly as if I'm dumb.
"I know that I'm not an idiot. We're supposed to get married?"
"That's ultimately the goal. Is that a problem?"
Pressing my hand to my forehead I draw in a long breath,"Um I'm not marrying him, have you met the guy? He's crazy."
"Do not ever! Speak negatively about Alessandro, one you don't know a damn thing about him. He has his quirks but I would give my life for him. You'd be half mad too if- you know what...I am not explaining shit to you."
"Shocker." I mumble.
Nathaniel huffs relaxing, "I'm sorry okay. I uh you are not making this easy this is a fucking stressful job. I'm in charge of someone who means everything to Alessandro and you don't even know it. It's frustrating."
"What do you mean?"
"Tatiana, I-He's really trying. He wants to be around you so bad. It took me hours last night to calm the man after your run in with him."
Nervously wringing my hands together I ask,"What is it he has to get under control?"
"You'll be the only human he has come in contact with in years. He needs you because if it is true and you are the one you can lift this curse."
"What curse?"
His eyes grow wide as he tries to back track his words but it's too late and I'm interested.
"He'll explain it to you."
"You never tell me anything, what's the point of talking to you if you're just going to hide information from me. It's not like I can ask him." I argue throwing my hands in the air.
Nathaniel shrugs smirking,"Sorry."
"Ugh." I groan throwing myself back on my bed. "Can I go somewhere that isn't in this house?"
"After your little stunt lastnight?" He snorts. "Hell no."
"You suck." I mouth walking past him.
The rest of my morning is spent with music, letting the melodic sound of the piano I'm playing take me away.
"You're very talented." The sound of his voice startles me. Turning around on the bench quickly to see where the voice came from, I see nothing.
Not a single soul is around but I know I heard a voice.
"Thank you?" I answer to no one.
"I'm sorry about my behavior last night."
Alessandro.
Rising from where I am I peek around the rows of seats in the music hall but he isn't there. He's not on the stage either.
"Where are you?"
