Mated To The Wrong Royal

Chaotic Council Meeting

For the first time, Amaya breathes out solace. This is the first time she is left secluded all by herself. No maids, no Lucan, just herself and a massive room.

That peace is interrupted when the door to her room opens and reveals Lauretta, the maid who tended to her injuries yesterday. She gives Amaya the regular bow of submission that always infuriates her. Amaya doesn't like the notion of being feted like a god, but no matter how many times, she instructs the maid to quit her cringy acknowledgment, she just ends up doing it again.

"The queen is here to see you," she announces and her uneasy smile doesn't go unseen.

Shortly, the door opens and the maid steps aside, revealing the queen. Due to Amaya's preceding withdrawal from the kingdom by her mother, she never got to see the queen. This is the first time she is seeing her and Amaya is slightly amazed by the resemblance her sons have to her. Her Brunette hair is just as dark as Lucan's, alongside the color of her eyes, but the fierceness they both radiate is nothing correlated to Lucan's. Lucan's eyes are intense, but nothing compared to his mother's. Even Amaya who fears no one appears slightly distorted by the look on the woman's face, but she tries her possible best to hide it.

The look on the queen's face doesn't hold approval at all, rather a look of contempt is noticeable on it. Probably she is angry Amaya doesn't show her due respect by coming down from the bed and giving the right acknowledgments to the queen of Santol. 

Amaya exhibits no care concerning the look on her face. She won't bow to any member of the royal household because of how vastly she loathes all of them.

"You are Amaya aren't you?" She asks, walking into the room fully, filling the room with the strange aura Amaya can sense from where she lay.

"Yes, I am" Amaya sits up with an equal look of irritation on her face. Two can always play the game.

"Lucan's mate," she says in a mocking tone which boils Amaya's inner wolf, causing her not to respond.

"Honestly, I didn't expect someone like you to be his mate"

"What? you expected a pretty princess from a neighboring kingdom?" Amaya shoots at her angrily.

"I would have said no, but a queen never lies"

Amaya scoffs in annoyance. "You don't have to worry about me. I'll be off your property once my leg heals"

"You seem to be getting it all wrong darling. I don't need you off my property. You are his mate and unfortunately, I can't change that. What I can do is modify you into a queen material since you are after all my son's mate"

"I don't need your modifications"

"You will comply sooner or later"  she shrugs with certainty on her face, causing Amaya to scowl at her.

"Heal first," she says and turns to leave.

The moment she departs, the maid speaks. "Do you need anything milady?"

"No I don't and I have told you several times, my name is Amaya." She snaps angrily at the maid even though she knows her wish can never happen. The maid follows the ordinances of the king and not her which is eccentric because she is her maid, not his.

"It is forbidden. I must never call the future queen by her name" she adds further pissing Amaya off.

They keep calling her their future queen without the knowledge of Amaya's plans to run far away when she gets her legs wholly healed. When she set out from alandon to Santol to take the throne from the king, she didn't plan to rule beside his son. If it determines her to wait, then wait she shall, but that throne is hers.
