Lone Wolf

Chapter Two

Lyanna 

I screamed sitting up fast, looking at my surroundings, before realizing I was in the tent again. I must have fallen asleep, but how'd I get here? Ramsay or one of the men must have moved me into the tent, I didn't even realize I had fallen asleep. Winter was at the entrance of the tent guarding over me. The smell of meat made my mouth water.

I ducked through the opening when I smacked heads with someone. A timbered voice was swearing as I gripped my head. "Ow, what was that for?" I asked, glaring. 

"Your head hit mine not the other way around. Fuck that hurt." Ramsay swore again. "I heard you scream, and to tell you food is ready. We'll be setting out after that." He said rubbing his eyebrow.

I nodded, stepping around him taking the small bowl from him. "Thank you." I ate the meat and moaned. I was ravishing, the meat was tender and warm. I washed it down with some wine.

It took two more full days before we were at the Dreadfort. It had high walls, with triangular merlons that resembled teeth, the walls were stone and towers were taller than Winterfell's. I shivered, not because of the cold. The Dreadfort was foreboding, it made me uncomfortable.

"Ramsay, give Lyanna the tour of the Dreadfort if you would." Roose ordered him.

"Yes, Father." He said, dismounting from his horse. He came over to me holding out his hand to help me down off my gelding.

I shook my head. "I got it." I told him, dismounting on my own. 

Ramsay smiled and offered me his arm. I took it and off we went. "My Lady." He teased.

I curtsied. "My Lord." I teased back. He led me through the castle, I listened to him showing me everything, this was where he grew up. As he talked, we stopped at the great hall, it was smoky with long tables and torches held on the wall by human hands. I looked over at him and noticed he had stubble growing on his cheeks and chin I hadn't seen before. He must have shaved before coming to Winterfell.

Ramsay took me to my room, someone had already brought my things, and a water basin filled with hot perfumed water was in the middle. The bed was big and a fire was going in the hearth. "Someone will fetch you when dinner is ready." He told me bowing his head slightly before leaving me. 

Winter trotted in and I closed the door, locking it. I undressed and got into the water basin, steam was raising off the water. I scrubbed myself raw, brushed my hair and teeth, I put on a corset dress, I tied back my bangs and left my hair flowing in the back around my shoulders. I looked over at Frost on the bed not wanting to leave it behind, I put the scabbard around my back when a knock sounded on the door. 

I opened the door, a girl a bit older than me was standing there, her hair was blond and her eyes were blue. "I'm Tansy I'm here to escort you to the feast." She said meekly.

"Lead the way." I said. "Come." I clicked my fingertips at Winter as we followed Tansy to the great hall.

I went to sit at the end of the table where bastards are supposed to sit when Roose called me over. "Sit next to me child." He whispered. So I sat in the empty chair on his left. "I want to get to know my new ward." He smiled at me, the smile didn't meet his eyes. 

Serving girls were putting food on my plate in front of me as I looked over at him. "What do you want to know?" I asked him, cutting up some chicken.

"Who is your mother?" He asked me. 

I took a bite of chicken before answering to give myself some time to think about my answer. "I don't know, father never told me, My Lord." I told him blushing.
