Anything for our Lord

~ Chapter 24 ~

The sleepy, raspy voice of Alexander rang inside of the room, "Adelaide. Please stop." She cheered, "But I want to play. Please play with me." I picked her up and left the room with her. She whined, "Why can't I be with daddy?" I answered, "He is very tired. We should let him sleep. We are going to play together." She whined, "But I want to play with daddy." I shook my head and said, "He is still tired, little one. Let! him! sleep!" She wrapped herself around me and cuddled with me while I took her into her room. We started to play as soon as we arrived in the room. Adelaide gave me my usual doll and played her doll and Alexander's doll. Lady Flora asked Queen Lyall to marry her. Adelaide made me say yes. Then she jumped up and ran away. I followed her quickly and tried to stop her from waking Alexander up, but it was too late. She cheered, "Daddy! Daddy! Sebastian wants to marry you!" I turned bright red while Alexander raised his head and asked, "What?" She cheered again, "Sebastian wants to mar-." I held her mouth shut and said, "I wants to make a cake. Let's go." Alexander laughed, "No no no. You will stay here, love. Adelaide. Please go to Nathaniel." When she left, he petted on the bed to make me sit down next to him. I just did that. His arms wrapped around me and his soft voice rang through out the room, "Love. I know what she said the first time. I was just surprised. Do you really?" I looked down to the ground and replied, "Of course, but I am not good enough for you, and I will never be." He sat up and pulled me closer before he whispered into my ear, "Love. You are a much better person that I am. If you were not good enough for me, than there would be something really wrong in the world. I want to marry you, but I will give us some more time since a marriage is a bit different than this relationship. I want you to be sure that you want me and that you could live with me forever. My heart is all yours." I asked, "But why?" He answered, "Because I love you." His head rested on my shoulder and he continued, "There is nothing in the world that I love more than you." I giggled, "I love you too." We stayed cuddled up like this for about an hour before we were as usual disturbed. Lawrence entered the room rather quickly and said, "I know that I am supposed to be knocking but Lord Orpheus's underlings have attacked the Sinclair pack and still are." With that both of us quickly stood up. We both had different reasonings why we had to go there. Alexander had to deal with the vampires and I wanted to be with the pack. Quickly we left the house and made our way to the territory of my parents. Just a few metres in I started to smell the Stark clan vampires. I jumped out of the carriage and followed the scent. Once I had arrived at the source of the scent I saw my mother and some underlings fight. She was in her wolf-form. Quickly I jumped into the fight. A vampire tried to jump my mother and I jumped in between. I protected my mother at all cost. Even when a dagger pierced through my skin I kept going. After a few minutes we finally finished them and ran towards the mansion. There we saw my father protecting a lot of the pup's. In the pack were a lot of newer werewolves at the time of the attack. They would not be able to withstand the vampires on their own. Quickly we came to their rescue. When we cleaned the area, I saw Alexander and Lord Orpheus talking. Lord Orpheus seemed upset. I decided that I should come closer, but still keep some distance. Both of the vampires looked at me when I was 8 metres away from them. Lord Orpheus asked, "Is the thing going to jump us?" Alexander answered, "To be honest. The pup seems to just be looking if there is something wrong." He had only seen me once in my wolf-form, so I understood that he would not be able to tell that it was me. An underling came closer to them and started to run towards Alexander all the sudden. When he tried to jump him, I jumped the underling. Within seconds he was ripped apart. Lord Orpheus said, "That was rather brutal. I am sorry. I did not order them to attack at all. My second one in command did though. I was trying to talk with him before he attacked but you can see how that went." Alexander sighed, "Call the rest to you now." That is what Lord Orpheus did and rather quickly were a lot of underlings near them, but also some werewolves that were keeping an eye on them. Alexander asked, "What does it bring you, if you attack a werewolf pack?" One of the underlings answered, "They need to be destroyed!" Another yelled, "They are killing machines!" My father turned back into his human form and replied, "If we were killing machines, we would have attacked first, but we did not! You came onto our territory to try to brutally murder us." As soon as an underling lured at him was my mother between them. My father explained, "I would stay as far away as possible right now. My wife is rather angry when someone tries to hurt her family." Another underling lured at my mother and I attacked the underling. The underling tried to free himself from my grip, but the grip of my teeth were too strong for him. I dragged him a bit before I threw him further away. My father spoke up again, "It would not be wise to attack those two wolves. Those are both fla- skin-stealers and they are quite protectful of this pack. Please stay away." The underlings finally stopped trying to attack. Lord Orpheus apologized, "I am so sorry. I do not know what has gone into them. If I can make it up to you, I will try my best to do just that, your grace." With that Lord Orpheus bowed before my father and within a few seconds the underlings also bowed to him. My father just sighed, "I only asked for the brooch that was in my territory to be returned and this is what comes from that." Alexander interjected, "It was not completely Lord Orpheus's fault that this happend." My mother turned back and yelled, "Oh. I am quite sure that the master should have control over their people, so Lord Orpheus did something wrong." My father sighed, "Maria. You are naked in front of a lot of men. Would you mind turning back again?" A harsh gaze was the only thing my father received from her. One of their servants brought two banyan's to my parents. Both of them clothed themselves with them. Lord Orpheus asked, "Is there a possibility that maybe one of your men made my second one in command upset?" My mother laughed, "Of course not, and even when, how would that be a good enough reason to try to kill us?" Lord Orpheus was about to answer when Alexander asked, "Which one of the wolves got hurt? I can smell some blood the whole time." My father looked in between every single one. The last one he looked at was the one that was actually hurt, which was....me. I had not even noticed that I was still losing blood. My father said in a soft voice, "Hey. Turn back now." A servant brought me a banyan. Quickly I turned back and put on the banyan. As I was back in my human form I felt pain on the left side of my stomach. There was a wound from the dagger. Lord Orpheus's eyes widen as he realized who was the only one hurt. Alexander asked with a worried tone in his voice, "Are you alright? How do you feel?" I answered, "I should be alright. Just give me a moment." But it got not better at all. My head felt dizzy and my vision turned black. When I woke up again, I was laying in my bed in my parents' place. There was no one else in the room. I stood up and searched for Alexander and my parents. They were outside still talking to Lord Orpheus. As soon as Alexander laid eyes on me, he ran towards me and almost made me fall. I laughed, "Don't make me fall for you again." He chuckled and replied, "But that would make you more in love with me." My mother came over to hug me too, but she actually made me fall. Alexander helped us up quickly. I laughed, "Mother! No!" She giggled, "I am sorry, love. I just got excited seeing you awake again." My father spoke up, "It took you long enough. How do you feel?" I answered, "I am fine now." After that both my mother and Alexander went back to talk to Lord Orpheus.
