Maurinette gently removes her dress, she lets out a sigh as she bounces on her bed. Her mind wanders to her discussion with the king
'does he truly love me, I find it hard to believe. His wife, the queen, he never said anything about her but there is definitely someone. I have to leave here, I do not know his plan for me'.

Darian paces back and forth In his room, this has become a daily occurrence for the past days. The events that had happened played in his mind like a broken record.
"Great, she feels something for me and I let her on" he raises his hand in a sign of frustration
"This should work or Hanos will play dearly"

Rogan walks through the guards, dressed in a black cloak. He had thoroughly bathed himself in pume juice to cover his wolf smell. He sneaks into the castle undetected while he stealthily makes his way through the corridor, opening every door. He hides behind the pillar, obstructing the guards who stood before a door. This was the only room that was guarded. She had to be in there.
He waited for the Guards to leave or switch post but they didn't.
He had to knock them out, he throws a coin in his opposite direction and as planned, it caught their attention. One of them walks to the direction where the noise came, Rogan pounces on him, delivering several blows till he passed out. The second quickly presses a button on the wall which sets an alarm, before going in to rescue the other guard.
Rogan also catches him by surprise and knocks him out, not before getting a slash of his knife on Rogan's arm.
Rogan forcefully opens the door, he sees Maurinette on the bed staring at him, she had woken up when she heard noises outside. He could understand the mixed feelings on her face. She was confused and startled but he had no time for pleasantries, relief washed over his face to find her alright.
'they didn't hurt her'
"Come lets go, now"
He drags her hand but she pulls away from his grasp. He turns to her
"We have to go now, they are coming"
"Go where, back to your clan? They treat me better here Rogan. I cannot possibly go back there"
He rakes his hand through his sweaty moist hair
"Doesn't that startle you, aren't you scared?"
She stares at him, confused
"What do you mean"
"You killed the prince and they take you in and treat you like a queen. Doesn't that bother you?" she looks away, she knew he was saying the truth, but where would she go? She is an orphan whose life was constantly threatened.
"Look, these vampires are ruthless and very smart, they have something planned out for you. I don't know yet but trust me, they are conniving and dubious"
"And you aren't, those animals aren't. They probably sent you to take me away from here so they could kill me"
Rogan was becoming restless and agitated at her stubborness, he winces in pain. Blood gushes out from the injury.
"Look" he raises his voice "I will not take you back there, I'll take you somewhere safe"
"Why should I trust you?" he wanted to scream the words 'because I love you' he wanted to hold her, feel her and tell her that everything would be alright but he couldn't. Everything would never be less complicated especially if he professed his love. He heaves a sigh and relaxes
"You just have to trust me" he stretches his hand towards her

She stares at him, then her eyes goes down to his hand before her. She didn't trust him but, she knew everything he had said was true. If the prince had been so ruthless and wicked, he definitely got that trait from his parents. He professed his love for her and she knew quite well that he knew how she felt 'he could read my damn mind. Everything I thought' she couldn't stay and wait for them to act, she had to act first but she didn't trust this person besides her. She would also have to get away from him too 'I killed a vampire, I may as well kill a were wolf too'

"Maurinette" he had grown Impatient of her indecisiveness
"They are coming" she took his hand and they fled the room.

They ran through the hall, past the bodies. They stop when he sees an army marching towards them
"This way" they run towards the opposite direction, she could hardly keep up, her breathing,hoarse, her heart beat, fast. She hears voices and foot steps behind her 'oh no, they are coming'
