Prince of Wolves

Chapter 4

"Here" a guard stated as he threw Liam inside the cell along with the cleaning supplies. "Prince Theo will come get you in three hours." The guard closed the cell door and locked it, making Liam even angrier.

"Why the hell are you locking the cell!"

"Because Prince Theo asked me too, so you can't run off." The guard began to walk off before turning around and taunting Liam: sending him over the edge "He wants to see his reflection in the floor of that dump by the way!"

"Why?! No one wants to see that! Hell, he looks like he could be trapped down here." The guard ignored the ignorant boy's comment and left the dungeon heading to his post outside.

Liam turned and punched the wall, this time he definitely heard a crack, but he didn't care the adrenaline eliminated the pain.

"Woah calm down" someone stated from within the cell. Liam turned around in a hurry to see a shadowy figure placed in the corner of the room.

"You must have some balls, or your just plain stupid" the same figure stated.

"And why's that?"

"Because no one disrespects the royals like that."

"And how would you know?"

"If you must know I used to work in the castle."

"As what, kitchen staff" Liam was beginning to calm himself down, though the anger still seeped through his veins.

"As Prince Theo's personal servant, actually. What do you do in the castle, new kid."

"Liam."

"What?"

"My names Liam. Not new kid."

"Okay, and I'm Jackson names don't really matter down here. So, Liam what do you do in the castle?"

"Nothing yet. Cleaning your cell is the first thing I've been asked to do."

"Why?"

"I'm new. Just got here yesterday."

"So, what job are you suppose to be upstairs doing."

"I don't even know."

"You don't know what job you applied for?"

"No. I applied for a chef and I got the job, but there was a selection today and unfortunately I got selected."

"No wonder they sent you to my cell" Jackson whispered under his breath. He rose and walked towards Liam for the first time. Allowing Liam to see his strong jaw line, defined muscles, and dark blue eyes.

"So, Liam what did you do on your first day to get chosen and then sent down here."

"I don't know what I did to get chosen I just answered the questions he asked me and everything. But to get sent down here it's not really my fault I mean it is, but-"

"What do you mean, kid?"

"I have I.E.D., intermittent explosive disorder."

"Well that makes sense."

"You know what it is?"

"I knew someone who had it."

"Okay. We can keep talking, but I'm gonna start cleaning."

"Okay." Jackson sat back down on the bed as Liam got on his hands and knees and started scrubbing the floor. That's when Jackson noticed something on Liam's neck.

"Come here Liam."

"Why?"

"I'm gonna put a cloth over the mark on your neck."
