Blue Moon Goddess

Chapter 5.

SHANTAL'S POV~
I awoke the next morning wrapped in strong cold arms that belonged to the one and only Niall Horan. I squirmed and tried to get away but his arm only tightened around my waist.
"Stop moving and go to sleep." He said in his sleepy voice. God his sleepy voice was so hot, it was deep and raspy and only came out in a mumble. I felt a shiver run down my back as a thought ran through my head of Niall as his lip swung out and licked over his soft pink lips wetting them before his tongue slid back inside his mouth.
"Thinking about me already sweetheart?" He mumbled his warm breath swarming around the back of my neck.
"Get off me asshole." I growled finally being released from his grip and I quickly made my way out the door and down the hall. I moved fast not even thinking about where exactly I was going anymore since this is the first time Naill actually let me leave the bedroom.
"Excuse me, but why are you in the castle?" A deep voice asked from behind me and I turned quickly to see a tall man with dark black hair and chocolate eyes. His hair was styled up in a quiff and there was a single blonde strip up the front, his clothes were all black and he looked highly scary.
"Who are you?" He asked eyeing me suspiciously and stopping to stare at my bare legs for a few seconds to long. I suddenly felt insecure of my body and started fiddling with thumbs. I don't know what made me do it but I felt an idea spark inside my mind.
"Why do you care, bloodsucker?" I growled letting my canines grow once again. The mans eyes grew at the realization that I wasn't a vampire.
"You're a...." He stopped stepping back away from me.
"A wolf-blood you idiot!" I screamed before turning and running down the hall making sure to keep my pace slow as I heard his footsteps behind me. My thoughts raced wondering what exactly I was doing here but as I turned the corner and found myself faced with a familiar smell. I threw open the door in front of me and come in slamming the door behind me, Hailey jumped from the bed and was in her wolf form instantly snarling and baring her teeth.
"Easy girl." I said in a mocking voice and she immediately stood taller and bounded towards me licking my face and tugging on Niall's long shirt that covered my upper body. I smiled down at her and she looked up licking her muzzle. I rolled my eyes before jumping up and shifting into my own wolf form making her smile grow even larger. Hailey raced across the room and I followed seconds later enjoying having fun with my own kind.
"What the.....!" I heard a deep yell echo from the door and turned to reveal the tall man from the hallway earlier. I turned baring my teeth at him but to my shock he... bowed? I shifted quickly and hurried grabbing random clothes from Hailey's room and to my dismay it happened to only be very short shorts and a tank top.
"Why are you bowing?" I asked curiously staring at the man in pure curiosity, why would a man that is supposed to be my enemy be bowing to me?
"You are the princess, you may not be my kind but, you are royalty." He spoke calmly keeping his head bowed and his eyes to the ground.
"You can stand sir, thank you for your kindness." I smiled as he raised his head and his dark brown (almost black) eyes locked my own.
"My name is Zayn Malik, I am the lead guard of this castle and best-friends with King Niall." The guy said sticking his hand out that I shook gently feeling the roughness of his palms against the smooth souls of my own.
"Hello, I am Princess Shantal of the wolf kingdom, and sadly, Niall's mate." I growled the last part remembering the burning scar that already marked my shoulder permanently. Zayn smiled then looked down and stared curiously at the small red furred she-wolf growling next to me.
"And this is?" He questioned looking at me again but sending a small glance towards Hailey.
"This is Hailey, she is staying with Louis." I smiled as Hailey's posture relaxed only slightly but her teeth remained barred.
"She is a wolf, she's not supposed to be the castle unless she is a servant. I am sorry but I must take her back to the cages." Zayn kept his voice calm but I saw tension growing in his muscles as he occasionally glanced at the door. I felt anger boil inside of me at the mention of my kind in cages and fought to keep my wolf contained inside.
"You will not be putting her in a cage, you will not be taking her anywhere. She is going to stay right here with Louis and I. And I dare you to even try and take her from me." I snarled through my clenched teeth as I slowly advanced towards him and with every step I took forward he took two steps back. I was about to continue my angry advance towards him but stopped dead in my tracks when I heard footsteps coming down the hallway, and they were coming quickly.
"I-I must go now." Zayn muttered and bowed slightly before hurriedly exiting the room leaving the door only open a crack. I watched out the door as Niall and 3 guards walked down the hall at a fast pace staring straight ahead seeming oblivious of their surroundings as people jumped to the the side of the walls as they walked by.
"Let's follow them." I whispered to Hailey once they were gone further done the hall. Hailey shook her small wolf head side to side as her eyes widended with fear.
"I want to know what is going on, they won't hurt you, I won't let them." I reassured her and relunctantly she nodded her head, I changed into my wolf form and we quickly but quietly followed down the hallways. I listened to the footsteps falling loudly in front of me as Hailey and I lifted our paws stepping as quietly as possible and keeping are footsteps in pace with Niall's and his guards.
"This is not to be spoken of to anyone!" I heard Niall growl as we got closer, I stopped when his ocean blue eyes were in my sight. I saw the way they sparkled in the dim light that was in the hallway and couldn't help but continue to stare even when he turned and walked back towards me, I still couldn't look away. I had never seen them that blue, and I have never seen them sparkle when he spoke, something really made him happy, and I couldn't help but feel a grip tighten around my heart at the thought of someone else making him that happy.
"Shantal what the fuck are you doing here?!?!" Niall's voice made me jump out of my thoughts and I looked up to see anger and nervousness take over the sparkling blue in his eyes.
"I-I was just" I stuttered trying to find a lie, any lie to say to make him less angry at me.
"That's it!" He yelled anger taking over all his features. 
"It's time you learn your place!!" He yelled before grabbing me around the waist and lifting me up carrying me back down the dark hall. I whimpered and only earned a hard slap on my muzzle from Niall as a responce.
"Maybe now you will finally learn your lesson bitch." He growled as he led me to and unknown room.
