The Queen of Stars

Chapter 26

I could feel his presence so heavily now. Everywhere i went he would be close by. So he's obsessing over me? Thats not creepy. Note the sarcasm. 

Ive emerged from my hiding spot and was now on my way to breakfast. Since the King and Queen found out who I was and that i was staying at the castle it was ' compulsory' that i go to their family breakfast at 8am. 

The weather was hot today so i put on a white dress that reaches just above my knees and put my hair in a pony tail. No, my thoughts were not on him when i was dressing but purely the weather.... have i convinced you? 

Anyway. Im in this very... determined state at the moment. He was not going to get the benefit of the doubt. I was not going to give into this feeling. After everything he has done- is doing to me, he doesn't deserve to be watched like a god or worshiped by anybody-  let alone me. 

I can hear chatter coming from the dining room and nerves start to crawl inside me like a dirty bug, i shake it off quickly not wanting it to effect me. I take a deep breath and walk inside. 

Suddenly all is silent and all eyes are glued to me. I don't cower away under their intimidating gazes. That wasn't how i was brought up. 

My eyes automatically find him. I feel a stab in a heart as i see Leah practically on his lap. But i keep my face blank and let my heart do all the hurting instead. She was whispering something into his ear and he smiled. 

Adora- that should be us.... 

Me- he hurt us Adora. We need to get over it, over him. 

Adora- But he's ours. 

Me- He no longer is

Adora- your in pain Stella, how is this alright? 

Me- Its not. 

I walk over to the large table and sit down on the other side of Lucian. He stiffens immediately, he obviously wasn't expecting that. 

Me- want to have some fun Adora? 

Adora- Always

I could practically feel her grinning. 

" Your highnesses it was so nice of you to invite me to have breakfast with you, I highly appreciate it." I said turning towards the King who sat at the head of the table and the queen who sat opposite me. At the same time i placed a hand on Lucian's leg. He stiffened immediately. 

" Its alright darling and please call us Cecilia and Ryan." The Queen replied a smile on her face. I turned towards the King who was frowning at me and his mate. 

I smiled at the Queen, she seemed lovely. However the King... he seemed like a brat. 

" You have a lovely home Cecilia." I replied. I started to move my hand lightly up Lucians leg. My fingertips were tingling from the contact. He started to wriggled around in his chair, Leah was looking at him quizingly. " I appreciate the kind gesture of you letting me stay here."

" Aw thank you dear and thats no problem! Also, i'm so sorry about my idiotic son over here." She leaned across the table and finished with a whisper. " Just between us, i had a feeling you were still alive as well i told him not to get involved with Leah but they had already made a deal. But i can promise you that he will be happy with her. " Adora growls inside my head not liking the idea of somebody else making my mate happy like that. The Queen straightens up. " Plus there are so many lovely men on the island. We will have you marked and mated here in no time!" 

BANG

Lucians fists come plunging down onto the table at a high speed causing  the table to snap. 

" She will not be marking and mating anybody else." He roars. Leah looks at him with disbelief. Then her gaze switches to me and anger floods through her face at an incredible speed. 

I remember her talking about a young girl coming here that she hated, the only other werewolf who had been here apart from the crowned kings and queens. That girl was me. She hated me with a passion, why? Because i'm Lucians mate, not her. I bet she was the one to bring up this 'deal'. 

I turn to Lucian angry that he was being so possessive. But i kept calm. 

" I am not yours." 

He growled. I looked up into his eyes only to see they were in a swirl of colours. Going from its incredible Blue, Green to a bright gold.  His Lycan. It was taking over. 

Oh no no no! I am not ready to meet his Lycan- his beast. A Lycan's beast is way worse than a wolf. They are ten times more possessive of whats theirs, ten times more vicious and ten times harder to control. 

Taking a deep breath i took a step towards him and placed my hand on his cheek as his eyes continue to flicker between the green and gold. i held it there running my thumb continuously over his cheekbone. I was his mate, the only person who could calm him down. Which was frustrating as i was trying to annoy him not sleep with him. 

Mentally i relished the feeling of his smooth skin against mine. But i kept my face cold emotionless, it was easy with Leah spitting crap out of her mouth behind me. 

Finally his lycan settled down and his very own eyes were looking at me. 

" Stella" He breathed. His eyes were shiny a sure sign of heavy emotions. I shook my head and hesitantly took my hand off his cheek. 

Using my wolf speed i turned and hurried out into the hallway. my breaths were more rapid now and my heart felt heavy. Why is this so hard? 

Stupid Lucian with his stupid charms. 

I slowly slid down the wall, all my energy was gone and now i wanted to sleep. Sleep and only sleep, i wanted to sleep my worries away. Sleep makes everything better. 

I closed my eyes and leaned my head against my knees. He was going to reget making me feel like this. Making me watch him and Leah together then getting angry when the subject of me moving on comes up. How typical, again with the cliches Lucian. 

How did my mother do it? 

This is breaking me in every single way and i don't know how to stop it. But i wont shatter without a fight. No, i'm stronger than this. The world is relying on me to do something. We were made for each other. He's mine. But i'm not going to force him. If he wants to go mark and mate that bitch them he can live with the consequences. 

But its not ok if he starts to interfere with my love life. He chose to but himself out of it so he should stay out. 

" Stay away from him." A voice hissed. 

I slowly raise my head to find a pissed off Leah staring down at me, trying to look superior. 

" He's mine " She continued. " And if you don't stay away there will be consequences, horrible ones." 

" Would you rather you face the wrath of his Lycan." I snap back, my eyes narrowed as i watch her tough expression stutter a bit and i saw something in there that i had never seen in Leah, fear. 

" I'll have you know that me and Lucians Lycan are great friends." She replied her voice a tough layer of bubble wrap trying to prevent me from hurting her or finding out her true feelings. 

" Sure, what ever you say, your highness." I give as much as a mock bow i could give from sitting down. 

" You may think that you are still on his mind princess. But i am the only person who consumes his thoughts. The only woman who's name he screams in pleasure to the darkness." She says with a smirk. 

Adora didn't like that, the thought of her mate touching another in such a sacred way made us snap. 

" Keep your hands to yourself witch." Adora hisses. She had taken over and was now standing up in a threatening stance, begging Leah to come even a step closer. 

" So the Wolf has a temper. Good to know what gets your riled up wolf girl." 

" What do you want Witch?" 

" For your death to be long and painful." 

And with that, she was gone.
