Anything for our Lord

~ Chapter 13 ~

A few day had past and my parents have had no troubles at keeping me busy enough to not cry. We found out that even though I did strip myself from my tittle that it was not lost completely and sent in the documents to the Queen to get my title back. This morning we had received a letter from the Queen that I may have my title back...as long as Lord Stuart and Lady Maxwell agreed. Since I was a Flayer, they were the ones that would be dealing with this kind of business. My mother cursed, "What kind of nightmare is this? Not only could the Queen just have given you the title. No. She makes the decision anyway! I will give her a piece of my mind." My father interjected, "You do know that if you anger the Queen all of- my life would be on the line and Sebastian would not get his title back." My mother replied, "She is a witch for not just giving it to him." My father sighed. I asked, "How do we plan to aske them if they would allow me to get my title back?" My father asked, "We- well more you. You could just ask them nicely." I responded, "I pushed Ewan down some stairs not so long ago." My father asked, "Why? Just why? Why would you do that? Why do you have to be just like your mother?" My mother asked right away, "What is so wrong with being just like me?" My father answered, "Ewan is not going to say yes to Sebastian because of it. Since the two of you are alike. I will try to deal with him. You two can talk to Lady Maxwell. After you are done there, come to the Buckingham palace." I added, "Lady Maxwell is Maximillian's daughter by the way." Both of my parents asked shocked, "What? What do you mean by that? Is that a weird joke of yours?" I giggled," Quite funny that you two did not seem an opinion but were just saying the same exact thing at the same time. But yes. Maximillian got a woman pregnant. oh and his daughter has a daughter too. She is adorable." They both looked at each other and were having a conversation without saying anything. Then they turned back to me just smiling. I was creeped out by that and just left. Sadly, my mother decided that she will indeed come with me. The castle of the London pack was an hour away from their place. On the whole way my mother was discussing what she would do with Lady Maxwell if she said no. I was about to just jump out when we arrived. Professor Lynch was waiting outside for us with Maximillian who was flirting with Raymond. As we got out Maximillian and Raymond greeted us. Raymond seemed irritated by Maximillian for a second before he led us to Lady Maxwell, who was reading in the library. Raymond spoke, "My lady. Here are two people that would like to talk to you." Her gaze went from the book to us and as soon as she saw us she had a smile on her face. She made Raymond leave before she greeted us, "It is quite the pleasure to have you two here. I know that you are just here to ask me to say yes to Sebastian getting his title back and I have already written to the Queen informing her that I indeed say yes, but before I will give it to you, I would like to get some answers to a few questions of mine. Oh. Do not worry it is not about the title. My father has told me a little about my family." My mother interrupted her, "And you would like to know more about it now? Then I am your best bet." Almira asked, "Is it normal that I have absolutely no control of my powers? When I touch people- sorry, let's say supernatural beings, then they turn human but when I stop touching them then the y turn back right away." My mother answered, "Sadly yes. If you are interested in turning them forever human, you would have to be turned yourself into a flayer. I know that you are confused now because of the being turned yourself. You can learn how to take more control of your powers to not turn them human. I can teach you about that." Almira responded, "That would be wonderful. Thank you. Oh. And then, this one is not about me but my daughter, is there a way to know if she is a flayer or will she just get the powers?" My mother laughed, "Some day the powers will just show up. And if she is a flayer then she will turn into a werewolf at the age of 7. I know that since all of my children did. As soon as the clock struck the time they saw the light of the world, they turned. All three of them." Almira asked, "May I ask how the powers showed?" My mother nodded and explained, "For my oldest, Maximillian, he was 3 when he got them. Sadly he was riding his father who was in his wolf form, when he got them. No worries though. Nolan rolled and caught him in time. Then for Sebastian. He was the one that got them when he was much older than the other ones. He was fourteen. Our beta wanted to tease him and fought with him. Of course. In his wolf form. Really stupid, I know. I always found it too dangerous to let them fight with werewolves in their wolf forms. When the beta tried to tackle him, he was instead turned human again. Well. He did tackle him anyway but it was not so hard and painful as if the beta was in his wolf form. And for my youngest, Freya. She got them when she was four. Again their father was reckless caring a toddler as a wolf. Especially after what happend the first time, but no. He did not listen at all. Same thing happend AGAIN! I do not understand how he can be so reckless after the first time." Almira laughed nervously, "So? The best way of finding it out is by her getting them by bullying some werewolves? Wonderful." My mother laughed and then answered, "Maybe. But it is better to do it in a more safer way then we did." They continued their conversation while I went outside again. When I arrived outside Lor Maxwell crossed me. He was giving me a weird gaze. I awkwardly stared back. It secretly became a staring contest for me. He came closer and I got a little scared. I tried to walk away from him but he caught up to me. Quickly I was pushed against a wall. He angrily asked, "Are you trying to steal a dead person's title? You know that it is a crime to do that, right? what makes you think that you deserve a title?" By every single question he shook me and I hit my head just as often. I answered, "I am not taking a title from someone else. It is my title that was given to me by birth. I just thought that I did not deserve it and stripped myself of it, but it is still my title and I deserve it." He barked, "You are nothing more than a mere servant who is a thief! You should be ashamed that you are so selfish and cruel!" I never liked alphas that were acting like this. So I switched our positions and replied calmly, "I am more than just a servant and like I said already, it is my own title. How can I even be selfish if it is my own title? I just want my title back. Yes, I will serve Lord Ambrose even after getting it back, but that does not give you the right to treat me like this." When I finished, he turned into his wolf form. I asked, "Really? Are you this invested now that you would fight me?" Then he just attacked me. if I did anything to him I would be the bad guy. That is why I stayed calm and just moved out of the. After A few minutes Lady Maxwell and my mother came. My mother asked, "What is going on here?" I explained, "He thinks that I am stealing my title from a dead person and that I do not deserve it and all of that stick. He attacked me first by the way and I have just moved out of the way, since if I do anything than it can and will be held against me. Even when it is out of self-defence." Lady Maxwell yelled, "Christopher! Stop it!" With that he turned back and said, "HE is a criminal." My mother laughed, "If he is a criminal for wanting HIS title, then that would make anyone with a title a criminal, which does include you, Lord Maxwell. If you excuse us now, we have gotten what we came for and I have had a wonderful chat with my granddaughter, but we have places we need to be at." With that we went back to the carriage and before we could leave, Maximillian joined us. We explained the situation to him and he almost jumped out of the cart to rip his son-in-law a new one. Luckily, we could convince him that if he did that, he could not see Raymond as much anymore. We drove to Buckingham palace, where we met up with my father.
