The Queen of Stars

Chapter 27

Death. 

That one word i kept replying in my mind as i stayed huddled up in my room for the whole week. I only came out for breakfast. The other two meals i skipped, breakfast was torchere enough. 

She wants me dead.

Well she can join half the world in a glorious union which will result in my death. Im sure for them it will be sweet sweet victory. Her and my werewolf mate standing side by side with those smug faces as the light fades from my eyes. Maybe ill even make it easy. 

Maybe the fates hate me. Maybe my Sodale will watch with pure happiness because i will be out of his way and he can finally be happy. 

But do they know the dangers of killing me? The state of our world relies on the union that the prophecies have predicted. Maybe they didn't foresee Leah stepping in the way? Maybe there is another way for me to keep harmony between werewolves and humans without Lucian. I mean because i met him so young i have already obtained part of my powers. But it just wouldn't be the same. The seer really should of looked into things better. 

The last seer's powers must of broken because i heard she died from madness. 

A knock on the door. 

I look up. I probably look like crap. Slowly i turn my head towards the clock. 9am, i was late for breakfast. 

" Your late" Lucy's voice came from the door. She wrinkled her nose. " Is this healthy?" 

I just slowly peeled myself away from my covers and stretched walking over to the wardrobe. Being in this secret place helped me feel closer to him. His sent would either calm me down or just remind me of all thats happened. 

" Probably not" I mumble in reply. " Im trying to be tough but its hard seeing him with her all the time, smiling together and being all lovey dovey. If i had just revealed myself earlier non of this would of happened." 

" Its not your fault Stella." 

I just shrug my shoulders. Im not going to bother showering, i want him to se what he's doing to me. The pain he's putting me through. I want him to feel ashamed of what he's done. 

I pull on a loose t-shirt and tight leather leggings before pulling my blond hair into a messy bun on top of my head. 

I didn't bother washing off my tear stained face or cover the brusing on my arms from clutching them so tight. I was in a world of pain but i was going to be strong. 

The walk to the dining hall was silent apart from Lucy singing this unknown tune the entire way. The melody seemed to wrap around me in a warm comforting manner that made me smile for the first time  in a while, i couldn't remember the last time i'd laughed though. 

I push open the grand doors. 

" Your late." The King barks out. His intence stare was focused on me. 

" Im sorry your highness i overslept." I mange to say in a steady voice and trying to ignore Leah's heavy, angry gaze i walk over and sit right next to him. Just so he can feel the hurt radiating off me. 

The whole meal consists of Lucy chattering away about everything, Leah and Lucian were whispering who knows what in each other ears. She kept casting me looks of satisfaction, with a smug smile to complete it. I would really relish the day that i mess up the oh so perfect face and that smug which i have come to despise. 

I try to push don't the sudden feeling of jealousy and anger but its all swarming to the surface like a pack of vicious bees . I push myself up from the table suddenly not liking the taste of food in my mouth, it made me feel sick. 

Lucy's voice suddenly stops and i peer over at her to see that she was casting me a look of concern. Lucian and Leah peered at me as well, Lucians expression was unreadable but Leahs was of pure disgust. 

"I'm sorry your highness's but i don't feel well, may i be excused." my voice broke at the end. 

The Queen looked at me with pity in her eyes. 

" Of course dear. Take care of yourself." She said and waved her hand in a dismissing manner. 

I was trying not to shed a tear as i run from the room. Why do bad things always seem to happen at breakfast?

I fled form the castle a million thoughts running through my mind. 

As soon as i stepped outside the huge doors the cold wind hit my face and i instantly felt better. There was a soothing breeze out there today and i was glad of it. 

I stopped over by the stone bridge leading to the main village. It went over to the lake with Crystal clear blue water. I leaned over the side of the bridge watching the water and its stillness. I could stop some of the fish swimming freely, i envied them and their freedom. They weren't bound to a Lycan who doesn't want to pay any attention to you and is going after another. 

A small tear ran down my face and fell into the lake. Is it weird that i envy my tears as well? I wiped my eyes. How was i going to get out of this? Everything from the outside always seems so easy but when your actually in the situation you find yourself bound to it with rope and cant find a way to untangle yourself. 

" Are you ok?" 

I wiped my head around in fright, people should really stop doing that. But as soon as my eyes see who it is i freeze. He must of been one of the most good looking males in this universe. 

He has rich tanned skin and almost grey eyes with dark blond hair. He had that twinkle of fun in his eyes and smile and had trouble written all over him. 

He smiled down at me and i could feel my wolf freeze inside my head, mimicking my movements. He looked like a god. I mean his beauty was nothing compared to Lucians, but it was pretty darn close. 

" It depends, if i tell you my worries then you'll feel down." I reply confidently, he smirks. 

" Well maybe it will be worth it if you feel better." 

" Aw your concern for me is touching but you don't even know me." 

" Id like to." He dipped his head. " You seemed upset and nobody deserves to be upset." 

I tilted my head to look up at him. 

" If you really want to hear my worries come grab coffee with me." I ask him shyly looking up at him through my eye lashes. 

" Sure. I was just going to see my beat friend but i can put it off for a few hours if your willing to squeeze me in." 

" You know i never actually asked for your name..." 

" Its Sebastian, but most people just call me Seb." 

A smile graced my lips. 

" Well Seb I'm Stella and you better be ready to hear one hell of a story."
