Wolf Queen

chapter twenty one

The video above is one of my favorites that I have seen. I did not make it and credit goes to whoever did.

I knew I needed to rest but I couldn't. Not with that monster hurting my sister.

Jaime was walking down the halls when I passed him. I was angry. More than angry.

"Hey, I've been looking for you." Jaime says as he takes my arm.

I jerk away from him and continue walking. I hear him following me and I sigh as I stop.

"Could you stop following me? Please?"

"What's wrong?" He asks.

I look around to us to see if any Bolton men were here. By the looks of it we were alone.

"That bastard has been raping and beating my sister." I say so only the two of us can hear.

"So what are you doing now?"

"Finding him."

Jaime chuckles. "Are you completely mad?"

"I might be." I raise a brow and walk away from him.

I find him in the great hall that my family once sat in. It just made me angrier and angrier. He looks up at me as he chews his food.

"Your grace, please, join us." Ramsay motions to a chair beside him.

I cautiously walk in and sit beside him. Roose and his wife are sitting in front of us. I cross my legs.

"So, my queen, how long are you planning to stay?" Roose asks me.

Ramsay looks up at his father. "Don't be rude, Father. She may stay as long as she likes." He says and smiles at me.

I give him a faint smile. "No more than two days. The trip here was rough."

"I would say so, your grace." The woman says.

"I did not formally introduce myself," I say, "I'm Lyanna Baratheon."

"She also goes by Lyanna Stark." Roose says blandly.

I stare at Roose before looking back at Lady Bolton. I smile. "Yes, I do."

"Oh? So this was your home once?" Lady Bolton asks.

I nod. "Yes, before my brother was murdered by your husband."

I smirk at Roose and stand up. "This has been a lovely conversation, but I am afraid I must get some sleep. I'm exhausted."

I exit the great hall and go to my old bedroom. It hasn't changed much. Ash follows me in and sniffs around. He wags his tail.

Two of the guards stand outside the door to guard me. The others are with Jaime. Ash sits down beside my bed and I change into a gown.

Ash guards me all the time. If someone even looks at me the wrong way he growls at them. He used to not like Tommen, but now he does.

I'm trying to teach him phrases High Valyrian so if we're in danger, I can tell him thing that nobody can understand.

"Ilagon." I say and he lays down.

I smile and get into bed. Almost instantly I fall asleep.

•

A knock on my door woke me up. "Your grace?"

"Yes, what is it?" I say through a yawn.

"Lady Sansa is asking for you, your grace." One of the guards says.

I get out of bed and change as quickly as I can.

"Māzigon, Ash." I say and he comes.

He follows me outside the door. Sansa stands there and her eyes instantly move to Ash.

"Oh my, he's big," Sansa smiles at him and holds her hand out. Ash puts his head against her hand, "I didn't realize he was still alive."

"He's the best guard I could ever ask for," I smile at him, "and he's a little on edge since I found out I was expecting."

She pets him and takes her hand away. She looks at me. "Can we speak? In private?"

I nod and follow her. As I follow her, I notice a familiar face walking past us. Theon.

I stop and turn. "Theon?"

He stops. He slowly turns around but he doesn't look up at me. I cautiously walk up to him. I look at him.

Ash begins to growl and I pet him. "Daor." He immediately quits growling.

"Theon, is everything okay?" I ask.

"Yes." He says as he stares at the floor.

I put my hand on his chin and move his face up so he is looking at me. Even when I do that he's barely looking at me.

Sansa joins me and I look at her. "Ramsay has done some horrible things to him." She whispers to me.

I look back at Theon. "Theon, tell me what he's done."

He was shaking. "My name isn't Theon, it's Reek."

"No, your name is Theon Greyjoy," I say boldly, "are you telling me, the queen, that I am wrong?"

"No, y-your grace." He stutters.

"What is your name?" I ask.

He hesitates. "Theon Greyjoy."

"You are stronger than that, Theon. What happened to the Theon who was cocky and didn't take shit from anyone?"

I look at Ash. "Māzigon."

I turn around and continue walking. Sansa opens a door and I instantly recognize it. It used to be Robb's chambers.

I smile. Sansa shuts the door behind us. She helps me over to a bed and I sit after thanking her. She sits down beside me.

"So," I sigh, "what did you want to talk about?"

"Ramsay and his father leave tonight. I need you to get me out of here." She says with tears in her eyes.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

She hesitates before answering. "Yes."

"We leave before dawn." I tell her and leave.
