Anything for our Lord

~ Chapter 5 ~

When I woke up, there was a cold spot next to me. Lord Ambrose already stood up. I sighed. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. It was Lawrence. He said, "Oh. I hope I did not wake you up. I was just checking up on you since you slept for two whole nights. The lord was already worried sick about you." I asked, "Are you sure that it was two whole night?" He nodded. I tried to stand up but fell immediately. Everything started to hurt. I whispered, "Fuck. It is early." Lawrence asked, "Are you alright? Do you need help? And what is early?" I lied, "Nothing. Yes I am alright. Can you maybe help me up?" He nodded and gave me a hand. I tried to walk a few steps but my knees gave in. Quickly I asked, "Can you get the lord?" He answered, "Of course. Let me just help you sit down again." I thanked him before he left. Lord Ambrose stormed inside not to long after and looked so worried, but also sick. He had not been drinking. Then he asked, "What do you need? How can I help you? Do you need a doctor?" I answered as calmly as I could, "I need to go outside or somewhere where I can be held for a few hours in my werewolf form. I am so sorry. It is quite unusual for me to keep a form for this long." Then I moaned out of pain. Lord Ambrose moved to my side and held my hand. I tried to explain, "No. Please no-. I can not control myself for a long time. Help me. Please, I am begging you. If I do not turn out of my free will soon, I will attack you. I do not want to hurt or kill you." I caressed his cheek with a sad expression. He picked me up and brought me into the basement where three cells were located. There he put me into one and locked the door. As soon as he was in safety, I turned into my werewolf form. After a few hours I turned back into my human form. Back into my human from I passed out. My body did not like needing to tell me when I should change. When I opened my eyes again, I was met by two eyes that belonged to Nathaniel. As soon as he saw that I was awake he jumped and screamed, "He is awake! He is awake! He woke up! Sebastian woke up!" The other servants were standing around me too. Lawrence asked, " Are you alright?" I nodded. When I tried standing up, everything turned black. So I quickly laid back down. Clarence dragged Nathaniel away from me and said, "You do not need to say...No...scream it anymore. Let him be for a little. He just woke up and you are in his face yelling that he is awake." Lawrence interjected, "Let Nathaniel be. He is just happy that Sebastian woke up again. How about instead of lecturing him you go get the lord? I am sure that he would like to be down here as well." Clarence left and Nathaniel apologized, "I am so sor-." I interrupted him, "It is alright. Thank you for caring." The lord barged the door in. He looked worried, tired and even more sick then before. Quickly, he ran towards me and took me into his arms. I heard him whisper very faintly, "Oh. Thank goodness." I asked, "Did you sleep at all these past few days? God. I know that you were or better are worried about me, but I was out for 3 or 4 days. You needed to take care of yourself." Nathaniel asked, "How do you know that it was four days?" I answered, "This is sadly or luckily not my first rodeo." Lord Ambrose stayed silent and held me in his arms. I petted his back and said, "I am alright. Shhhh. I am here. Everything is alright." This seemed to have calmed him down since he just left. We all shared a moment of confusion before Lawrence said, "Oh. He is probably just really tired." I tried to stand up again. I wanted to go after him and be with him, but my body was still too weak. Lawrence asked, "Do you need help?" I nodded. He asked, "Where should I take you?" I answered, "To the lord, of course." Lawrence nodded and picked me up. When we arrived in the master bedroom, we saw he fell asleep on his way to the bed. Lawrence quickly put me on the bed before helping the lord get into bed. He sighed. I spoke up, "Thank you." Lawrence smiled at me and left. The lord was still asleep. I moved myself closer and put my arms around him. As if it was a reflex, he did the same and pushed one of my legs up onto his hip. We stayed like this for awhile. In the meantime, my eyelids got heavier and more sleepy. At some point they were so heavy I closed them and fell asleep. When I woke up, were both of my legs around Lord Ambrose's body and our heads were touching. I knew that he was awake when his hands moved from my back towards my butt. Softly I whispered, "Not now, my lord. Let's just cuddle. His hands moved up again. We continued laying there till Nathaniel cam in. Lord Ambrose asked, "What happend to knocking?" Nathaniel responded, "I am so sorry but the Queen has summoned you. I tried buying you more time but she said that it is very important. She is in the living room with the werewolf advisor. If I may add, Lord Stuart almost came up here." Lord Ambrose sighed and got up. Quickly he left. Nathaniel apologized, " I am sorry. I knew that you two we-" I interrupted him, "No need to apologize. The lord was needed." Nathaniel left after that. Since I had been struggling with standing up, I tried it again. This time it worked. I walked a little till I felt like throwing up. Quickly I made my way to the bathroom. When I arrived there, I threw up a lot. It felt like forever before I finally stopped throwing up. I have not had something to drink and to eat for a while. Surely I was going to pass out if I did not take action. Quickly I walked towards the sink and drank a little. My vision was fading from normal to just black. Just before I fell, I was caught by someone. I could not take a look at the person since I passed out in the next moment. When I woke up again, there were four people around me. Lawrence was standing to my left, while Lord Ambrose was sitting on the bed to my left. On the right side was Queen Victoria, the Queen of Great Britain, and her werewolf advisor, Lord Stuart. Queen Victoria was the first on to realize that I had awoken and asked, "Are you alright, Mr. Sinclair?" I had not heard my last name being said for years and it felt kind of weird to be called by it. Especially without my old lord title. Quickly I responded, "I am alright now. Thank you for asking, your majesty." I knew who she was since I had seen paintings of her. She was as beautiful as she was drawn. Lord Ambrose asked, "Are you sure, love? Do you need anything?" Lord Stuart responded, "Of course. He needs something or else he would not have passed out. Mr Canning. Would you mind getting Mr. Sinclair something to drink and to eat?" Lawrence replied, "Yes, my lord." He left quickly. Queen Victoria looked at Lord Stuart and asked, "Do you really think that is going to help him?" Lord Stuart answered, "Of course, your majesty. I have dealt with Mr. Sinclair and his family before." The Queen asked, "Is that so? Would you enlighten me on what is going on with Mr. Sinclair then?" He nodded and explained, "Mr. Sinclair and both his siblings and mother are what we werewolves call flayer. I think the vampires call them skin-stealer. They are a mix out of werewolf and soulless. Mr. Sinclair and his siblings were born as such. Their mother was turned by their father." The Queen turned to me and asked, "Is that so? Do you have any special powers, Mr. Sinclair?" I nodded, "I do not know if your majesty would find them as special powers but I can both turn into a werewolf and turn vampires and werewolves back to humans. I can also not really die. Even if someone tries to kill me, they will only have killed me for a while till I stand up from the dead again." Queen Victoria seemed a little worried about what I just said. Lord Stuart added, "But none of the Sinclair's mean any harm and they all serve the crown." The Queen responded, "Alright. I will now go back to Buckingham palace. The two of you will have to find a solution to our little problem with out me. If the two of you can not find a solution then get Lady Maxwell. Goodbye. With that she just left. Lord Ambrose asked, "How do you know so much about his family?" Lord Stuart explained, "The older duke or also know as Duke Nolan Sinclair was the first alpha to create a pack in Great Britain. He was also the first to turn a woman into a werewolf but also the first to turn a soulless into a flayer. Duchess Maria Sinclair is the first Luna in Great Britain. and the first one to become pregnant. Then we have Duke Maximillian Alessandro Sinclair who is the first alpha to the London pack and he created a lot of today's werewolves. Most of them actually were in his pack. Therefore was the London pack the biggest pack not only in Great Britain but also in most parts of the world. Oh. And Maximillian was the first advisor to the crown in both positions of the werewolf and soulless. And Sebastian here was the first flay in the position of the Gamma. And Lady Freya Sinclair has not really achieved anything yet. The Sinclair's are quite the impressive family. I was actually turned by the older duke." Lord Ambrose let out an 'oh' before Lord Stuart continued, "And I do know that the flayers can turn themselves into humans but they have to switch back after a while or they will be forced to switch and will kill anything in their way. Maximillian tested it out and killed everyone that was in the room with him. Sebastian actually tried to stop him, but he got hurt from that. As far as I know Maximillian cried himself to sleep that night." Lord Ambrose asked, "Do you think Adelaide is going to be just like them?" There was a short silence before Lord Stuart answered, "Maybe. She is actually supposed to be the third or fourth generation of flayers." Lord Ambrose looked at him confused and Lord Stuart added, "Since Adelaide is the daughter of Almira and Christopher, where we have not noticed if Almira also owns flayer character traits. Almira is the daughter of Alessandro Termaine, who's real name is Duke Maximillian Alessandro Sinclair. Last but not least we have Maximillian who the son of Maria and Nolan. Since Maria was turned herself before she became pregnant that would make either Maximillian or Maria the first Generation." Lord Ambrose asked, "Does Almira know about this?" Lord Stuart shook his head, "Of course not. Her whole life is build on the lie of who her father is. She would probably break under the truth, and then someone would have explain why Maximillian changed his name."
