Run Away Royal

Chapter 16

It's been 3 weeks so far into the second to last month. Ryder and I aren't all the close because I've been focusing so much on training and planning. Yeah we have the plan set but we have to get into detail.

I sat next to Ronnie eating breakfast with the littles next to us. Ryder walked in with only shorts on. He looked at me as he sipped coffee. I stared back at him.

He looks tired. He is still hot though. I got up and put my dishes in the sink.

Ryder came up behind me and grabbed my waist. I glared at him,"Off, Ponyboy."

He scowled and let go. He walked over to the fridge and opened it. He took a pudding out and grabbed a spoon. I leaned against the counter in front of Ronnie.

"I thought you guys were good." He said.

"We are I'm just a bitch in the morning." I said. We both laughed and looked at Ryder who rolled his eyes.

Ronnie nudged my arm,"You're a bitch everyday."

I laughed and playfully hit his shoulder. Ryder walked up next to me,"Don't call her that."

Ronnie looked at Ryder. Ryder glared at Ronnie and Ronnie rolled his eyes in response. Ryder growled from the disrespect.

I smacked Ryder upside the head lightly,"Bad dog! Be nice!"

Ryder rubbed his head and laughed,"Yes, master."

I smirked,"Queen."

He rolled his eyes and hugged me,"Yes, my Queen."

I glanced at Ronnie who was silently laughing and winked at me as I smirked. If only Ryder knew.

He pulled away as a woman walked in. My breath hitched and she stared at me wide eyed. Ryder tensed.

"Mother what are you doing here? You're supposed to be helping the Queen with the new baby." Ryder asked.

Ryder's mother stared at me then shook her head and turned to her son,"I couldn't take her attitude anymore. The king walked in and said I was dismissed to go home. Before I walked out he told the queen he had found Faith and tried to convince her that the she was good but said Faith wasn't buying it so she ran away and he couldn't catch her. They called off all searches."

She looked back at me,"She doesn't deserve the thrown. The real queen does."

My heart aches for my mother. Her sweet voice rang through my mind,"tell her..."

The doors to the room swung shut. It was Ronnie, Tara, Ryder and I.

"My mothers alive." I said.

Tara's eyes widened,"She's dead Faith."

I shook my head,"She's alive. She is with the moon goddess she was taken to the other world to fight the Sea God. Things are at peace now so she wants to come home but in order for things to work the queen has to die. I will have my mother, my father will have his mate, and we will have our true queen."

Ryder was frozen in place. I waved my hand in front of his face and he still didn't move. "He's frozen in time so he won't witness. Ronnie too.." My mother voice said.

"They are vacant. Won't hear, see nor remember a thing." I told Tara.

"The queen wants you dead Faith. She has a huge group of warriors to defend her for when you come. You need fighters and you need a lot of strength." Tara said.

I sat there for a minute. Then it hit me.

"The King of the rogues!" I yelled.

Her eyes widened,"You'd be sentencing yourself to death by going there! They hate you more than anyone ever will. They're vicious!"
