The Angel's scars

7- Secrets

A week ago royal castle - Ecdet

"Princess," A royal guard bowed his head down in respect. Callie nodded her head in acknowledgment as she continued on walking. She watched as servants and passing people bowed their heads in admiration. She always spared them a smile.

Callie made her way out through the garden towards the packhouse. The animals in the garden also bowed in recognition. She took a small detour to grab some food and feed the animals, although she already knew they had been fed. She could tell they appreciated it by the looks they gave her in return. 

Once Callie reached the packhouse she could tell they were struggling. Loud yelling could be heard from inside whilst the Alpha and Luna were trying to calm them. Callie opened the door and everyone hushed down when they noticed it was her. 

Her parents gave her a smile as she walked up onto the stage where they stood. The whole war that was breaking out between Idron and Edcet was sending the pack restless. They wanted to fight but the royals knew they were not ready yet.

"Princess," The pack spoke in unison and they all bowed their heads in respect. Callie bowed her head back. She allowed her father to continue talking whilst she listened in. She knew her parents weren't overly happy with her listening to the war plans but she didn't care. She was apart of this war whether they liked it or not.

"Eveline if you go take the groceries out to the car I can pay for this," Luke said as Eveline took control of the cart and moved it out the store. The weather was cold and wet and the rain had only stopped a few minutes ago. 

A cold shiver ran down Eveline's spine as the cold air hit her pink cheeks. Eveline jumped in fright as she felt a cold boney hand grabbed her shoulder. She screamed turning around to face the person. Eveline felt the blood drain out of her face as she realized it wasn't a person but an empty eye socket cold-hearted creature. 

He was the same one she had seen at the grocery store, no hair what so ever and devilish smile the formed up his cheeks unnaturally.

"Eveline you're coming with me," His breath washed over Eveline's face and she felt like gaging. "NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" She pulled against his tight grip on her arm. The trolley rolled away from her but she didn't care her life was more important than some groceries. 

The creature threw Eveline up against the wall then pulled her upholding one hand against her neck and the other her hands. "If you don't come with me someone you love will die. You wouldn't like that now would you Eveline? No one needs to die for you. IF YOU WOULD JUST COOPERATE!" He screamed in her ear and Eveline flinched. 

The wet brick wall was soaking in her clothes and she was having trouble breathing with his hand around her neck. So she was pushed up against the wall gasping for air like a goldfish.

"ZEGRATH GET OFF HER!" Lukes's voice was heard from the door of the store. The creature looked at Luke then dropped Eveline as she fell to the floor landing in a giant puddle, gasping for air clutching onto her throat. 

"Luke, Luke, How have you been?" Luke sent him a death glare. "Zegrath what are you doing here?!" A devilish smirk grew up Zegrath's face. "Your dad wants her, We agreed TOGETHER we would get her, but you chickened out. Remember?" Eveline looked back and forth between the two people. "You? Luke? What?!" Eveline spoke breathlessly. 

Luke looked at her concerned. "You didn't tell her?" The creature looked at Eveline with his big toothless smile. "Luke and I are supposed to take you back to his father." Eveline's mouth dropped as she looked at Luke. "No, Your lying,"
