His and His Only Queen **BOOK TWO**

Chapter Five; Locked Away

My tears had dried on my face causing my cheeks to feel crusty. The room the guards dragged me to was one of the highest rooms in the castle, the walls were gray stone and my bed felt dusty.

The reason I'm up here is for 'my own safety'. I mocked.

Bookcases lined the walls of the bedroom, the bathroom had a surprisingly up to date toilet and bathtub.

The only light I got in this stone cage was a tiny window which was too high on the wall for me to be able to reach. And a bright chandler that hung from the middle of the room.

Two guards were posted outside of my door every hour of the day, which made sure I stayed out of harms way. The only thing that will hurt me.... is me.

Obviously this whole thing will help me however, I really don't know what I need or want. Xidan and Jackson make my head feel like it's going to burst but, Axel ignites flames inside of me I never thought I had.

Never would I have the motivation to allow myself to fall to my death. Everything was now starting to finally weigh on me, love, everything is for love. The simple four letter word can create happiness or destroy it. Love is something everyone hopes for in this world, even I did at a time. But now I wish I could hand out my love until this pain in my chest would decrease, if love is causing this aching pain inside of my chest then why have it at all?

That was my motivation for my actions tonight- Love.

My eyes glanced around the room for something to do, all the books looked like they were from the eighteen hundreds.

I sighed and flopped onto the bed.

I need to get out of here!

The dusty bed underneath me creaked with the metal springs holding my weight.

But how?

The guards mumbled outside of my bedroom door. Making me curious..... I mean inside this stone cage, I get no information.

I stood up and ambled over to the old wooden door.

Their loud deep voices were muffled as I put my ear up to the wood.

"Yeah Alpha Clarke, is on his way... Hmmuh..." A guard told the other.

Some of it was muffled by the wooden door but, for the most part I got the information I need.

"A long time friend... hmmuhh, he will arrive around ten o'clock in the morning- Tomorrow." A guard sighed. "His Luna, mmhh..... will be coming too."

"Great..." A guard mumbled.

I backed away from the door.

Would they be able to help me?

This could be it, I can't escape alone while saving Chester and his sister. I need help, and especially if an alpha is coming. He's stronger than Chester, he can fight back.

I threw my fists into the air.

For once I might have the upper hand.

Now all I need to do is sit pretty until tomorrow.

I grinned to myself as I ambled back over to my dusty bed.

"Little did he know, putting me in this room just gave me a chance for something I crave." I muttered to myself. "I haven't had this since I've met Xidan at my house."

This small word everyone has but, doesn't realize they have it.

Some like me, crave it. We crave just to be able to choose where to go, what to do, where to be, and who to love.

Freedom.

Yes that Seven letter word, could make a person go crazy. Hence I just attempted to hurt myself, I tested Axel to see if he really would let me go.

I huffed. "Would I ever expect myself to be sitting in a castle like house with a King?"

I shook my head. "I never wanted this, never craved this. I just want to go to highschool and get a highschool boyfriend, who will take me to movies, out to eat, and hug me while we watch the sunset."

Everything seemed like a dream but, it was so close to other's grasp.

Most would say I'm living the dream but, no one knows the details of my pain. Sure this is luxurious however I'd much rather have my old shack house than this castle.

This castle was hollow with so many secrets. Too many secrets that even involve me, like how did Axel ever know where I lived or knew who my mate was?

However I'm not about to sit pretty for Axel, if there is any chance it's now. I must act upon these people visiting the Alpha King. If I don't I could end up locked up in this castle until my life is drained away.

I huffed as I laid down on my dusty bed, the springs creaked as I moved around on the old bed.

With no murmurs of the guards and no more questions on my mind about my plan, I allowed my eye lids to cover my tired eyes.
