Bound By Blood

---ON HOLD---

It was never part of her plans to end up in Elynthia - in the middle of the Citadel no less - with no real memory of how she got there. But neither was losing Aaron.

Having to cope with his disappearance was hard enough, but being forced to suppress her magic made it all the more worse. Then again, it was better than having a massacre on her hands should she ever lose control. And now? Now she was forced to stay inside the Citadel while she waited for the appearance of the Royal Alpha who had yet to return from his trip to one of the seven other territories.

Playing the part of Lady Delegate of Elyria and guest to Royal Beta Dominick wasn't as easy as it should've been. Not when she was under the constant pressure of holding control of her magic and keeping her sanity intact. It was brutal. Their separation was already taking its toll on her - both mentally and physically - and being trapped behind the Citadel walls didn't help.

But she had to hold on. He was breathing and he was safe, that much she knew. At least, he should be. She was sure he was alive, she could feel it through their bond, but he was keeping her out. And that emptiness just added to the pain.

Things take a turn for the worse when she lost control of her power in a room full of people - delegates from the other realms and guests of the King - and injured a human from Terra. Having to deal with almost killing a human at a ball to promote peace between the realms was never a walk in the park, but at least it persuaded the Alpha King to let her out of the Citadel of Central Elynthia to search for Aaron. That had to count for something, right?
