Cheaters always want you to be loyal while they're being unfaithful.

ᏃHᎪᏒIᎪᏁ  SᎾᏞᎪᏟᎬ -

My wolf had been so excited when he sliced my cheek to drink from me.

It was a weird thing to be excited about, but nevertheless my heart beats rapidly.

I was almost scared he would hear it, but he seemed too focused on me being there, allowing him to drink from me, to notice.

I walk up the spiral staircase leading to the room in which Althaea is in.

Once at the door I knock once before unlocking the door and opening it.

I step into the room, searching for her body everywhere.

It's empty.

I growl, walking out of the room and slamming the door behind me.

I take the steps quickly, searching through the halls for her.

I walk past my door and past all the guest rooms, turning the corner to the dining room.

I watch Alastor enter a closet, glancing over his shoulder before closing the door.

My stomach drops and my eyebrows furrow.

I walk silently up to the door, not even having to press my ear to the door to hear.

Alastor and-

Althaea.

Tears burn my vision as I stumble away, covering my mouth with my hand to stop the sobs.

As I turn the corner again I knock into a maid and make her drop all of her things.

The clatter of the tray echoes throughout the hallway, and she frantically apologizes.

" I'm so sorry, " I whispers wiping my tears as I help her.

" My princess, are you okay? " She asks after thanking me for helping her.

" I- " I hear the closet door open behind me and I freeze, letting out another sob.

The maid looks behind me to where I assume Alastor and Althaea stand, and she frowns in understanding.

" I apologize, your majesty. I'll send something up for you, okay, princess? "

She doesn't look at me as she glares.

" Tell my dad, please. " I whisper and she nods.

I turn the corner fully this time, wiping my tears as I make my way up the stairs to my bedroom.

" Zharian! " Alastor screams after me.

My wolf whines in anger, I feel her ears flatten.

" Princess - " Althaea's voices is next.

Her voice elicts a full growl from me as I turn, my wolfs teeth replacing mine and eyes full of anger as I stare at them.

" You don't deserve anything good that comes your way. I hope the sisters punish you with everything they have. I hope your whole worlds crumble. Alastor, I hope Osiris rips you limb by limb and hangs a different part of you in each room. "

" Princess - " Althaea tries again.

I growl, making my way towards her.

" You- " My wolf whines as I grab her by the neck. " You will be executed by my very hands. I'm going to hang your head in my room, and feel the rest of you to the first beast I can find. "

Althaea sobs and Alastor goes to comfort her.

My dad appears at the end of the hall, eyes wide and angry.

" Alastor! " He yells, fists clenched at his sides.

Althaea jumps in front of Alastor, " My king it was my fault. " My wolf tears against my chest, " He only did it because I had seduced him. "

And I broke.

I let out a whine as my wolf came to the surface, releasing the secret I tried so hard to keep.
