The Queen of Stars

Chapter 23

Lucia's POV. 

I ran like crazy towards the library. She mustn't find that book. I stop at the door my expression wild and my eyes darting all over the room. She cant find it she cant find it! I tried to control my breathing. My Beast was slowly surfacing and the panic evident on my face wasn't really helping. 

Then my gaze landed on her. She was sitting cross legend on one of the coaches, she looked up at me and a confused look crossed her face. 

" Lucia? What are you doing here? I assumed you would be helping getting ready for your brothers party?" She wonders coaxing her head to the side, Stella had always been a curious one very much like my younger sister.

" Uh Later, I just needed to find this book. " I mumbled. I watch as she nods her head slowly and then focused her attention back onto the book she was reading. Looking closer i realise its Cinderella, or what looks like a full novel version of it. Sh seemed to be completely intrigued by it and i knew she wouldn't notice if i slipped out and into the room where the prophecies were kept. 

I got closer to the shelf only to realise that the door to the room wasn't full closed. My eyebrows burrow together in worry. Who would leave it open? I got closer and opened it further. Hesitantly i stepped inside. 

My breath falters and my heart beat races a million miles. My fear levels raise was high and i can feel my palms becoming sweaty as a result. I start to hyperventilate. this was bad, super bad. I rush out towards where Stella was previously sitting. 

Btu nobody was there and i started to panic.

That afternoon i searched everywhere. but...

The book of prophecies was gone along with the prophecy child.

Stella's POV. 

There are so many things now that make sense that didn't before.  Many things my parents have said to me that i got confused at, but when i asked they would immediately change the subject. Like the very first day i arrived here and mum was talking about my other mate. 

I growl in frustration. How could i of been so stupid!? Everything was right in front of me this whole time, my entire life. I dropped down onto the floor rocking myself gently. 

This year has been hell for me. 

Usually i'm a happy person, cheeky even and filled with life. But ever since this time last year there has been a heavy weight on my shoulders and in my heart.

But with Lucien there was hope. I felt it, my wolf felt it. Even before we knew he was our mate. 

But i also remember the argument that Lucia and Leah had. He's going to mark her. My one chance at love, i don't care that he helps complete the one thing that the moon godess set me on this earth to do. 

But still as well as happy, hopeful and sad i was angry. Really really angry. The way he has been treating me is terrible. If thats the way he normally treats people i cant imagine what kind of mate he is. Im just so confused and upset. 

My tears fall silently and i don't want to feel this heavy pain in my heart, this feeling that i'm being kept in the shadows, that others are controlling my life. For so many years i have felt that everybody else is dictating my life. My parents, now my god father and best friend. Im tired of it. 

Its time i took control of my own life. My own game. 

I shakily stood up my breathing was now more calm and that strange feeling i had was fading. Im going to take control of my life.

I know what i have to do. 

His sent is in here and its making me feel dizzy, light headed. It makes me smile because my heart also picks up its pace and my wolf smiles at the back of my mind. Nobody's presence seems to affect me like his. 

Adora- I have been in contact with him when we first arrived. I didn't give us away i just wanted to assure him that we are still alive. 

Me- Why would he think i'm dead?

Adora- Your parents told him that you were dead in order to put him off you. 

Me- That makes no sense 

Adora- it will in time

I stay silent at that comment, again with the secrets. 

Adora- But your plan is good, i approve as long as you don't take it too far. 

Me- Me? Never Adora. 

My wolf scoffs and i let my smile widen as that scene of content over take me. 

Then I heard the door opening and immediately i knew who it was. 

"Lucy i need your help." I whisper to her facing the window. The sun was starting to set and yet nobody has found me yet, that was just pure luck. 

" Anything you need."
