Saving the Queen |✓|

Chapter 27

•Alexis•

When I wake up I expect to be in a dark and dirty cell, but I'm not. Instead I'm in a white and gold room, laying on a queen sized bed. I sit up and scan the room around me, I'm alone.

I get up slowly, trying to be as quiet as possible, I make my way to the door. I try to open it but it's locked so I make my way to the windows and they're locked too.

I try to talk to my wolf, but I can't feel her. She's there but it's like she's locked up, unable to escape, just like me. I puff out my cheeks in frustration, trying to stay calm but my anger gets the best of me.

I pick up the chair next to me and throw it at a mirror across the room. They make a loud bang and I get an idea. It's a dumb idea and it's gonna hurt like hell but it might work.

I walk back to the window on the far end of the room and look outside. The woods are just a few yards away. Perfect. I take a deep breath and elbow the glass as hard as I can. The window shatters, a few cuts making their way across my bare elbow.

I kick out the remaining pieces and climb onto the roof as quick as I can. I hear footsteps coming as I make my way to the edge of the roof. I'm on the third floor. I can make the jump, I hope.

I hear my door open and when I look back there's Blake with some guards. He spots me and I give him the finger before jumping, making sure to roll when I make contact with the damp ground.

In a matter of seconds I'm up and running. I can hear the guards a few feet behind me and I push my legs to move faster. Almost to the woods.

I can feel my wolf as she gets frustrated, trying to break out of whatever is holding her back. As she trys to shift, my teeth and nails elongate, but that's it. I can't shift.

My anger gets the best of me and I let out a blood curdling growl that echos through the woods, I can hear the footsteps behind me falter, I scared them.

I mentally high five myself and keep running as everyone freezes. They're not stupid enough to chase after an angry royal. The rogues running up next to me are though.

One trys to grab me but I slash at his arm, making three deep cuts down his forearm. He retracts his hand back and while I'm distracted, another tackles me.

They sit on top of me as I wiggle underneath him. My anger flares up again and I take a bite from his arm. His hold on me loosens and I flip us so I'm on top.

I claw at him until I'm sure he won't get up and run again. He's not dead, not yet anyways. I get up about to run away again when giant arms wrap around me, yanking me back.

I'm pushed against a tree with a very angry Blake staring down at me. I glare at him and try to move away but his hold tightens. "Stop it, you're not going anywhere yet." He grabs my arm and starts dragging me back towards Jack's house so I do the only thing I can think of, I jump on his back and take a big bite down on his shoulder, taking a decent sized chunk off.

I miss the jugular vein by an inch and curse at myself. He just pulls me off him and keeps walking, I hate him.

It's been 12 hours since Alexis was taken. My wolf and me have been on edge ever since. I look around Alexis' office, papers are scattered all around. I haven't left this room, Alexis' cocoa and honey smell wraps around me, keeping my wolf somewhat calm.

A knock sounds at the door and I mumble a "come in", hopefully they heard me. Josh pops his head in and walks inside after seeing me at the desk. "I called Alpha's Tony and Devon a few hours ago, they've arrived.

I let out a heavy sigh and stand, leaving the office with Josh. I've met Alpha Tony, we're close friends, but I've never really talked to Alpha Devon. "Xander." Me and Tony do a quick hug, slapping each other on the back before pulling apart. "Where's Alexis?" Devon asks. Him and Alexis apparently have been close friends for a few years, I don't like him. I look a little closer at Devon, him and Alexis look alike, this thought takes away some of my hatred.

"Blake got her." Both their expressions turn serious. "You let him take the Queen?" Devon asks angrily. "No, I didn't let him take my mate. She left to rescue some kid from Jack's torture, and Sam left without her." I glare at Sam. I still blame him.

"She told me to leave, I can't ignore the Queen's command." He argues for the millionth time and I just scowl at him. "So let's go save her. We brought our fighters and our numbers are bigger than Jack's, we can win."

I shake my head. No matter how badly I wanna go after her, I can't. "We called you here because we need to prepare for their attack. They're coming soon."

It took a few hours for us to go over our plan and get everyone settled in, but we're ready. Soon Alexis will be back home and the kingdom will have their Queen.
