I think it must have been about three to four days of starving myself in this cell. He comes to check up on me every day, he comes to beg me to stop, beg me to come back home with him, but i cant. I have a mission and i need to make him understand, even if it causes me to feel this miserable, even if it causes my life.
*flash back*
"BUT YOU CAN'T DO THIS. YOU NEED TO RELEASE THEM." I shouted at my mate that has done nothing but hurting me from the day we met.
"I AM THE ALPHA KING, YOU DONT GET TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO OR CANT." He yelled back at me. Wow, that hurt!
"I'm No one to you then? All these people addressing me as their Queen is just an act and holds no power for me, i am nothing compared to you." I said, hurt evident in my eyes and voice. He knows how deeply i care about equality and yet...
"I didn't mean that." He said, walking to me to hold me but i moved back.
"Dont." I said and he stopped, knowing too well to not try to touch or comfort me right now. "You wont let all these innocents out of this place, would you?"i asked and he shook his head. "Then arrest me too." I said to the guard and looked back at him. "I did disobey you a month ago, remember?"
