Torture

chapter fifteen

To my surprise Dominance was all ready and saddled up, it seemed as though he already sensed me coming and bowed for me to get up. With that he turned and immediately started running, wind gushing by us as if we were moving with the speed of lightning.

I knew this horse was special but my suspicions were only confirmed, this horse was faster than the Alpha himself. He's senses were hightend, abilities stronger. Dominance took me far near the lake we never reached the day before, my feet dropped to the grass beneath me running a hand through my white notty hair.

"Why didn't you tell me ? Did you think I wouldn't find out, do you not care for me at all Nathaniel. You should of let me die !" I shouted at him, not caring too much what the consequences might be.

"Don't say that, I forbid you to. I couldn't tell you, I didn't know how. Your so unknown to me, I fear to stand close but I promise you I'm trying." He grabbed my shoulders, trying to shake some sense into me.

I stared into he's eyes trying to make sense of this, but he was clearly honest. There was nothing more and nothing less, it was all I needed really. And he was trying.

"Come, my dear. You have dress fitting to attend." He sat me back up on Dominance, sending me back to the castle.

"Oh my dear where have you been, I've been looking all over for you." The moment I was seen by the door on Dominance, Ammelia came running out giving out to me.

Everything had happened to fast, I was dragged everywhere quickly pushed into one of the large halls where the rest of the ladies were awaiting with the children.

"Queen Ophelia." The little red haired girl came bouncing up to me and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Poppy I am no Queen, just call me Ophelia." I crouched in front of her, before I was pushed again behind the curtain and physically squeezed into the first dress.

The moment I stepped out everyone's eyes went wide in shock, and definitely not a good shock. It didn't look good, the complete opposite to be honest.

"Why is aunt Ophelia dressed like a cloud ?" Sophia spoke out for all of us I must say, we laughed taking this as our que to another changing.

Few more dresses got better but they were still horrendous, but once our hope was gone. There it was, the dress that made everybody speechless. It was magical, the most beautiful of them all.

Strapless, with lace corset which tied at the back in a bow. The skirt and trail were the best part perhaps, beautifully lace detailed with gems lining the flowers. A separate piece was attached to my shoulders, which was the long trail lined with ice blue tread. I stepped out from behind he curtains, seeming like the room was cast under a spell.

I stared into the mirrors, lining the walls a smile curling on my lips.

"This is the one." I whispered not taking my eyes off myself.

"Oh wonderful, absolutely wonderful !" Aunt Ammelia began shouting making me turn, with a laugh I stared at them all. Approval was given when the dress was found, safely tugged off me and placed away until the day would come.

I wondered would it be like I had always imagined and wished for, show my love for the one and have that day to proof it. But reality was a fairytale even though my prince charming was powerful, it wasn't the same. He wasn't full of love and devoted he's time to me, but at leased I know he tries and that's all that really matters.
