Captured by my Mate's Pack

Chapter 17

I hope this chapter was worth the long wait haha. <3

Princess Sky's POV

When the Prince left; I was rather shocked. I knew his life was a bit hectic at that moment in time but I never knew the true extent of how he felt. Well I did a bit, because I lost my own mate when he was killed in battle. A battle lead by King Edward, the leader of the pack I'm staying with.

The more time I spend as a guest at this castle, the more I come to dislike its leaders, and the way it operates. Before I thought that Edward was quite respectable, only because he sounded like he cared about my mate being killed in battle. I guess I assumed he was a nice man at the start. But now as I get to know him, I realise he isn't the 'nice', 'caring' leader everyone thinks he is.

He didn't accept his son's mate because she was a servant of the castle. Apparently she was captured and basically enslaved by him.

I suddenly snapped out of my daydream when the man himself, Edward, came into my room. I was staying here because I was supposed to be getting a new mate to lead the Trisaen pack with me when my father passed on his ruling status to me. My new husband was meant to be Ryan but obviously he ran away. I don't blame him really, I would have run away to my mate if he was still alive and in this exact situation. I looked up with a deep frown creasing my forehead as Edward sat by me on my bed, straightening his crown on his head after running up the stairs. "I am sending my best soldiers out to retrieve my son later tonight. You will soon be a newlywed when I get rid of his mate's mark on his neck. He won't love his servant mate once I do that."

I glared at him as if he was telling a sick joke and realised he was serious about having Ryan's mate mark cut off his skin. "Are you serious..?" I eventually replied, disbelieving of his words.

"Well of course, when do I ever joke?" He replied sternly.

"I don't think you should go through with removing his mate's mark from him. It will hurt him and his mate. Plus isn't she pregnant? It would kill the baby.." I said through gritted teeth, "Love runs deeper than just a mark on the skin too."

"Yes, but she won't be pregnant for much longer. Only proper royalty deserves to mother my grandchildren. Oh, and trust me, I'll make sure he won't have anything left to run through once I'm finished with them both. Even if he does love her after their marks are removed, she will merely be a pile of ashes in her own home if it goes to the extent where I have to burn it down with her in it." His seriousness and evilness was apalling me. I felt like killing him there and then, my wolf Anna wanted to come out and bite his head off from what she too was hearing but I wasn't going to let that happen. He needed to be knocked down a peg or two, maybe 3000 by the looks of it. Of course, it wasn't my place to be questionning royalty, I should have just listened and agreed, but this was over-stepping the mark, by miles.

He was deciding his son's life path, and was going to stop at nothing to achieve what he wanted. Even if he had to murder his son's soulmate. I stood up and swiftly left the room without a second thought to my reputation or any punishments which could be endowed upon me. Edward would cause a war with my home pack if he wasn't too careful. I was feeling sick and shocked at what he had said to me. I couldn't hear any more. I would have gone insane.

"Where are you going?" He called after me quite angrily but I kept on walking swiftly to the stairs and down them, being careful not to trip on the corner of the red rug that ran right up them.

He couldn't stop me, so he wouldn't even dare. I went straight to my horse which was tied up round the right side of the castle, I untied it and hopped on, grabbing the reigns firmly. I then rode to the drawbridge and waited for it to drop so I could leave. When the bridge finally dropped Edward and his wife were running up the gravel path as fast as their silly, long robes would allow them to. I just galloped away on my fine horse, not giving them a second glance, they didn't deserve anyone's time or thought after the actions they have done.

I decided exactly where I was heading and knew it was for the best.
