I woke this morning a 7am to go for a run with Luca. So here I am standing behind a tree, taking off my clothes. Once I'm fully undressed, I hide my clothes in a nearby tree.

I relax and shift into my pure white wolf, that I noticed, had gold patterns all over. Hold patterns means Wolf of Royal Blood, or so The Big Book of Werewolves says, I'm still learning about Werewolves.

I turn around a few times before stepping into the open. Luca stood, fully shifted, in the middle of the large clearing. His wolf was midnight black, with gold patterns on his fur, they're exactly the same gold patterns that I have on my fur.

You are beautiful. And you are literally only just bigger than an Alpha Pup. Luca says, through our Mate link, that was established last night. I also go links to every werewolf in the Royal pack. It's weird and I'm still getting used it but Luca had taught me how to put up mental blocks so no one could hear what I'm thinking.

So, you say. Personally, I think I'm fun sized. Race you to the lake! I say, racing off into the direction of the lake that Luca had shown me last week.

In a matter of minutes, I came to a halt at the lake. Luca was far behind me, trying to catch up. I see a butterfly and chase it around the lake's clearing, my wolf yipping at it playfully.

I hear the crunch of dried leaves, but my focus on the butterfly never faltered. I kept chasing the butterfly and yipping at it till Lilac, my wolf had had enough of chasing it.

Your tiny, your fast and you act like a kid. I'm starting to wonder if you seventeen. Luca says through our Mate link.

It's not my fault I was born a runt. And you can't really blame me for being childish, I've been without Lilac for six and a half years. I say, going over to where Luca was sitting. I sat beside him and nuzzled my nose into his fur, he nuzzled his nose into the fur on my neck.

First of all, your fun sized and I know you've been without wolf for a long time. You'll get used to having her back. I think we should head back; breakfast is almost ready. Luca says, getting up, I follow him and get up from the ground.

Race you back. I say, through our link, taking off in a fast run, leaving Luca far behind me. Once I'm back at the tree I hid my clothes in, I go behind it, shift and step out from behind it.

Luca was already shifted and dressed; he was waiting for me. "I'm never going to beat you, am I?" Luca asks, I shake my head, it's a runt thing to run faster.

"Runts, like me, are small, nimble and lighter, therefore can run faster than your average adult wolf." I say, walking in the direction of the palace. Luca, who was by my side, took my hand in his.

"I know." Luca says, as we step into the smaller pack house that was connected to the palace. I look around the, now, familiar surroundings and pull a loose strand of hair from my face.

As soon as Luca and I get into the kitchen, the blonde hair girl turns around. Britney. My eyes go wide and I hide behind Luca, who was staring at her.

"What are you doing here?" Luca questions in his Alpha King tone. She looks at him before her eyes flicker to me. "Kitten, go find Lily and stay there I'll I come get you." Luca says, I run to the clinic where I know Lily would be. I burst into the room, making Lily jump.

"Is everything alright Lila?" Lily asks, I shake my head and hid behind a cupboard. "That Britney girl is in the kitchen. Luca told me to come find you." I say, my eyes flickering towards the door.

LUCA'S POV

"I asked you a question and I expect you to answer it." I say, not liking that she still has it out for my Mate.

"What am I doing here? I've come to kill that runt which should've been done a week and a half ago." Britney says, getting up from where she was sitting and walks around the island.

"And its Luna Queen to you. You will respect her, obey her and listen to what she has to say. Just because she's small doesn't give you a right to claim her head on a plate. She's my Mate and my wolf doesn't like you making death threats against our Mate. You know damn well that I've waited for her for seven years. If you don't stop making death threats against Lila, you'll leave me no choice but to strip your title as Royal Female Advisor, because you know I'm not afraid to do so." I say to her, hoping that it gets through her thick head that she just can't show up and begin to make death threats towards Lila, my Mate that I had waited seven years to find.

"And if I don't?" Britney says, crossing her arms, which pushed her boobs up. I know what she was trying to do, she's trying to seduce me but it's not going to work.

"If you don't stop making death threats towards Lila, as I said before, I'll strip you of your title, oust you from my Royal pack and behead you. Are we clear?" I say, she steps around me, like a wolf circling her prey.

"We're clear, clear that you want me because the puny little runt can't give you what I can give you. You should have rejected her, then I could kill her." She says, I step away from her, not liking how close she was to me. That was it, I've had enough of her.

"I, Lucian Jefferson, hereby strip you of Royal Female Advisor, I shun you from my Royal pack, and as a punishment for disobeying orders, I hereby sentence you to beheadment. I severed all ties and links from all packs, all round the world, from you." I say, just as the Royal guards come in to take her down to the prisoner cells.

I watch as the guards disappear from the courtyard, many of the Royal pack members watching as Britney was dragged out of sight, kicking and screaming.

I turn in the direction of the medical clinic and begin the walk there. Most people call me heartless for punishing those who need to be punished, in some ways I am, but that's because I stand up for what I believe and who I love.

I open the door to the medical clinic, and see, Lila and my sister, Lily, talking. Lila looks up at me and smiles, which makes me weak at the knees.

Most packs have made up stories about me. Apparently in their eyes I'm heartless, don't give two hoots about others and cold. That is all untrue. I'm none of those things, if I was, I would've rejected Lila, but I didn't, I need her, my wolf relies on her, more than any Alpha's wolf depends on their Mates.

Tingles and sparks erupt all over me and I look down to see a tangle clump of honey-brown hair. I smile and wrap my arms around her. I could feel her fear, she's not one who does well in situations that are scary. In the week and a half that she's been here, she's only ever talked to me, Lily and my brothers and sisters. I guess being in that tiny dark cell for so long has made her extremely fearful of others.

"That was so scary." Lila mumbles, clinging to me for dear life. I hug her tight, but not tight enough that is crush her. "It's okay now, it all over." I say, picking Lila up into my arms and walking up to our room.

"It is?" Lila says, I could feel her eyes on me, I look down at her, love and adoration shinning in my eyes. "Yes, it's all over. You have nothing to fear." I tell her, laying her softly on the bed, her fatigue washing over her and me.
