"She who bears the mark of the beast will become his for eternity"

"Adeline!" I cover my mouth as I press myself into the hollow tree.
"My beautiful Adeline." My body shakes and hot tears flow down...
"ADELINE!" I continue to run farther into the woods.
I smile as I don't hear the crunching of snow anymore and I slow down a bit until a big brown wolf stands in front of me bearing his teeth.

A frown plasters my face and fall back on the soft snow. "That's called cheating Maverick." I say as he shifts back and comes over to me.
"How could I cheat if we weren't even playing a game Princess ." I roll my eyes and blush as he stands in all his glory.
I loved the snow. The cold feeling and the softness of it. "Maverick why are you so good to me?" I hear him let out a low growl and embrace the warm feeling of his hand resting on my cheek.
"You are my future queen Princess . I promised I would lay down my life for you." I sit up on my elbows and look into his beautiful brown eyes.
"And who did you exactly make that promise too?" I snake away from his grasp and walk deeper into the woods. "You my princess." I smile and turn back to him.
"We must get back to the castle princess. Your mother is probably worried sick." I nod with a loud sigh and walking past him.
When he shifts back into his wolf, I get on his back and hold on as he run back to the kingdom.

"Oh my!" My mother gasps as I walk into the parlor.
I smile as my two sisters rush towards me and latch onto me. "Adi!" They scream and I hug them back. I had three younger siblings, triplets, 2 sisters and a brother. My bother is the heir to the throne as I would not be able to as I was different and no one knew of my existence. Of course people knew I was a princess but they had never seen me.
"Girls go to rooms and wash up for dinner." My mother says and I look up to see her walking towards me.
The girls run off down the hall and my mother grabs my wrist. "Adeline your freezing." She quickly lets go and wipes her hand on her dress.
She quickly gets a quilt off of the bench and throws it over me. "Mother I'm fine."
"Nonsense my child. You are a princess not an ice queen." I roll my eyes and smile.
"Now let's hurry and get you washed up for dinner." We walk to my room and the maids had just finished filling my bath.
"Mother I can bathe myself." I drop the quilt and wait for my mother to leave the room so I could bath in peace.
"I suppose... I am going to check up on your sisters than. Don't be too long, you know how stubborn your father is." I nod and she kisses my forehead before closing the door behind her.
I sigh, dropping my dress and then lower my self in the hot bath. I completely submerge myself underwater and let my mind wonder.
"Adeline..." a very handsome man says standing by the water. I start to walk towards him to see his face properly.
