Lone Wolf [Completed]

Chapter 18

Our first chapter in Naros's POV!

(Naros's POV)

 I stood beside the door, waiting instructions. I was not allowed the enter the throne room, unless there was an emergency. And from what I could hear inside, it was definitely an emergency. Ciro stood next to me while we waited for orders, impatiently switching his feet back and forth. "Will you just relax for a second?" Ciro turned to look at me and growled, "Why should I relax when we should be in there helping Marku with that wolf?" I chuckled, "It sounds like he's got it all under control." I tuned him out and focused on the conversation. It was Marku that spoke. "Why would I give her to you, when you can have that mutt over there?" A man laughed, wickedly. "I've had that wolf; many times actually. But, I need someone to bare me and heir, a successor."

 There was a cruel laugh, "I told you! Oh, did I tell you." It was Sky's voice. For some reason, I suddenly felt the urge to go in there and get her out. It was almost like I could feel her pain, like it was leaking into the air. If I could feel it, then I was sure everyone else could too. I glanced over at Ciro and froze. He was hunched over, breathing heavily. "Ciro?" He looked up, "Do you feel that?" He gulped loudly a few times and continued, "It's like a weight, sitting on my chest, blocking my air supply." I carefully walked over to him as his eyes bled crimson, "Ciro, you need to relax. I feel it too, just breath." He snarled, "If you feel it, why is it affecting me differently?" I shook my head, "I'm not sure, but I'm going to help you get through this. Can you trust me?" He eyed me warily for a second, then nodded.

Before I could reach him, a voice said behind me; "I knew I smelled something. I just didn't realize how foul it really was." Dusty. He had a nasty habit of degrading me and Ciro, occasionally his own brother, all for being attracted to men. Dusty strode forward and spit on the ground next to us. Ciro jerked forward, but I grabbed his arm. "We are not allowed to engage in Royals! Control yourself!" Dusty smirked, "Awe how cute. He needs another man to tell him how to act and what to do. Pity." He grinned evilly and stepped past us, opened the doors and strode in like he owned the place. Which, technically he did, he was the son of the king after all. Along with my help, Ciro and I made our way into the throne room after Dusty.

Marku had ahold of Sky's neck, holding her off the ground a couple of feet. That would explain the pain Ciro felt, what it didn't explain was why he felt it. "Father!" His voice boomed off the walls, making Sky tremble. Her eyes were closed and she was mumbling under her breath. Ciro was still hyperventilating beside me and was beginning to look pale. Well, paler than he normally is. Being just a guard, I couldn't do much to help, besides keep Ciro standing. I gripped his shoulders and held him up, using all of my strength in the process. He grunted and Sky's attention was full force on his face as they made direct eye contact. He froze in my arms and slowly nodded his head.

What the hell? Where they communicating somehow? I'd heard of people being able to talk through a bond, but only stories. Ryder had disappeared, probably for the best, he looked about ready to rip his father's head off. "Well, isn't this the wolf that killed three of my best men?" Dusty's voice was dripping with venom as he stared directly at Sky. Marku seemed very interested in her now. "Hmm, who are you? Huh?" He squeezed her chin and she flinched, causing Ciro to react as well. Ryder returned before she had a chance to speak, "She is my mate." Everyone in the room froze and with wide eyes, looked towards the prince. Sky was the first to speak. "Ry, no." Her voice was gravelly, probably from crying, but she spoke with a hint of authority. I didn't miss the new nickname for him either.

Marku growled and squeezed her throat harder, making her gasp loudly. "What the hell do you mean, she's your mate? She's a wolf, she cannot be your mate, I won't allow this disaster." Ryder shook his head, "I have already accepted her as my mate. There is nothing you can do about this, father. It is going to happen and you will not keep me from her any longer." A loud clap sound and everyone looked over at the man named Khan. "I knew she was something else, but this.... This is something entirely different." He took a few steps towards her, but Marku growled and Ryder advanced to him. "What are you talking about?" Ryder ground out. Khan barked out a laugh, "You really don't feel the raw power spilling from her? I knew I should have kept her from leaving, now I won't be able to use her sweet little body for my pups to grow in. Such is bad luck." 

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Sky started speaking. Not in English though, but in Latin. "Meum eris: et animam tuam, erit anima tua mea, ingredimini possidendam. Et audivi vocem docentium me omni imperio. Ego regina, tibi servus meus es tu." You will be mine, your soul and mind are mine to possess. You will obey my every command. I am your queen, you are my servant.
