From Princess To Queen

Bad

I was denied entrance into the royal pack, and Clara refused to see me. I need her to deny Xavior and their bond so that I can mate and mark her. I am the one who belongs on the seat ruling all Lycans shifters in the world, not him. I have not seen her for some time as she keeps herself invisible. When I saw her walking up to the gate, it was only then I could smell her; she smelled different, not her intoxicating vanilla and chocolate smell. She smelled of vanilla and a wintery mixed with a hint of sunshine.

I saw the mark he gave her on the side of her neck. It is the mate mark. I do have to admit it was beautiful, and so was his spot. But it pissed me off because she would not let me in. I had questions only she could answer.

“What do you want, Felix?” She asked sarcastically.

I was dumbfounded that she would even speak to me like that. I was momentarily at a loss for words and had to regain my composure. I rolled my eyes at her and started to speak when she once again asked me the same thing. But this time, I had my voice telling her what I wanted.

“I want to know where Libby is, and I want to come in and visit you. You need to be with me and not Alpha Xavior.” Guess that was a dumb move on my part.

“Leave and never return, Felix. There is nothing here for you. For your information, I will never break the bond with my mate, Xavior, and you have absolutely no right to tell me to break it. You are no longer welcome on the land. If you remotely try to gain access, you will be put in the dungeons and await your punishment.”

She was fuming when she said that to me, but Xavior had a smirk on his face and then saluted me while taking Clara into his arms and laying a big fat kiss on her lushes lips which should be on mine. I turned around, walking to the driver’s side of my Jeep. I threw open the door and ignited its life. I peeled out of my space, spinning the tires and throwing dirt and rocks their way, hoping a few hit her and injured her.

To my luck, she was just pissed off at my antics and took off out of her lover’s arms, shifting to her gorgeous beast. He took after her with keys in his hands. Wait, he had keys? How did they come here? Where was their vehicle parked? It looked like she handed him the keys. Can our princess drive, and if so, where is her vehicle at? Usually, you see all the vehicles everybody drives around here. I thought I knew all the cars in the pack.

I have to find it or them, but I need to figure out where to start. I went around the back side, and nobody was guarding that entrance. I parked my Jeep in a hidden spot, putting different clothes on. I wore an oversized hoodie and slipped a pure silver knife into the pocket. I had to protect myself somehow if I were caught. I masked my scent the way my mother taught me. It was just spray that was given to me made by the witch friend I did not trust.

I slipped through the fence unnoticed, but I had to get to where the garage was. I had to get into the house through there somehow; the only problem was I just had to find where the damn thing was located. I kept walking undetected in the shadows until I stumbled onto something. There was a door against a building, but it was not the pack house or the castle. It was just there, so I checked the handle to see if it was unlocked. I looked around to see if I was being followed and thanked the goddess. I wasn’t.

I opened the door quietly, damn that thing is a heavy-duty metal door. I strolled inside quietly, easing my steps, and started walking straight, only to face plant into a wall. I felt for a light switch but did not see any, so I felt my way to the right, yet the border continued. Walking around in a circle, I finally found another door and opened it with relief.

There was a set of stairs heading down to another floor. As I was walking down, I could smell the fumes from gas. I knew I was entering the garage, but I needed to see if it was a repair shop or the actual garage. I kept heading toward the smell. It was enough to make you high on the fumes alone. I held my breath to keep my head in the game I was playing. I knew this was dangerous, and I could get caught for breaking. But I needed to break in. It was left unlocked, which was inviting me to come inside.

I saw the light that was emitting from the garage. Someone has been here and did not bother to turn them off. I kept quiet and to the wall stepping down each step one at a time. I came to an opening and was slammed with all the vehicles in front of me. There were so many different kinds, from very expensive to off-roading vehicles. These people loved their cars and play toys. I never knew the princess loved all these things.

The information in front of me made me love my little princess even more. My heart was skipping beats as I could not believe my eyes were walking in; further, I had to be careful not to trigger the alarms on the vehicles. I looked for more of a darker area where I could continue to walk toward her vehicle. Any of these could be hers, but I never saw her drive, so I was unsure which ones were hers.

I heard a loud noise and saw a vehicle entering the garage three hundred yards ahead. I about shit my pants when I saw it was an Evantra Pura, my mouth dropped to the floor, and I was drooling. I was shocked and stalked towards it but stayed against the wall when I saw someone inside the vehicle. Shit, I cannot be caught here. I will be in a heap of trouble, which I already was, so here goes not getting seen.

I scooted alongside the wall in hopes I would not be caught, but something startled me when I heard her voice. I could see her, but just hearing her voice made my dick move, damn that voice made me swoon for her even more. Damn, it gets my head out of my ass. I need to pay attention to what I am doing.

I could not tell where it came from while walking towards the car. I thought I saw a tall figure, but it disappeared, and I could not see where it went. I started to creep between some of the vehicles hoping I would not be seen. I made my way toward the vehicle but stopped on the other side of a car that was parked next to it. I crept slowly around the front of that car in hopes I did not scare the other person off too far. I took out my knife, careful not to touch the silver portion. I would use this as a weapon to disable the one who got out to the Eventra Pura.

I stalked closer and closer. I bumped into the Pura and hit the alarm by accident. I nearly jumped out of my skin when it blared with the strangest voice telling the whole world that there was an intruder. Before I knew it, I was hit in the gut and taken down like a predator. Okay, I was that predator. Before I knew the knife was thrown to the ground when I got my bearings. At the same time, my wolf and I were going deaf with the alarm.

I tried to fight back against the person who had attacked me, and when I looked up into the blue-green orbs, I realized it was an alpha wolf snarling and drooling at my throat. He had his massive paws on my chest, hovering over me, not letting up. My hood still covered my face. Thank goodness for that. The wolf was trying to take it off, and I kept thrashing to get the wolf off so that I could not be revealed. The massive wolf turned back into his human form; it was the Xavior of all people. I had never seen him in his beast, and honestly, it scared the piss out of me.

I felt his hands take off my hood, and he snarled and growled at me, seeing me lying on my back. Then all of a sudden, I was thrown over onto my stomach with one knee between my legs and the other on my back. His massive hands took my arms and swiftly pulled them back behind me, forming an ‘x.’ ‘Shit, I had been caught’ is all I could think of, and now my mind was rumbling at how I would get myself, my stupid self, out of this mess.

“Darling, who is it?” That voice was so alluring.

“Felix, he masked his scent, but it is now seeping through as it wears off.”

“Take him to the dungeons and throw him in there. Strap him up in the silver chains so he does not get any thoughts and try to escape.” She hums to her guard.

Xavior stands and pulls me roughly up at the same time. All I could see was the distaste in Clara’s eyes, and I let my gaze down to the ground as I was taken to the dungeons. What pissed me off was the bag they pulled over my head and led me there. It was taken off after I entered the jail and was somewhat cleaned. The guard walked down the corridor as I looked in the cells to see if I knew anybody.

I came across one cell and looked in the cell, and I saw Libby, my mom, who looked horrible. They treated her so poorly I was fuming. She barely said anything to me except to tell me not to worry; she was fine and to do as they said. I guess all mothers are worried warts, but I was fuming pissed that Clara did this to my mother. It appeared she had not eaten in days or even weeks, she was fading, and I had to do something to get her back, get her out of here. I did not know how, but there is a way where there is a will.

“Well, look what we have here, the shifter and his mother, who both think they can take the crown away from my family and me,” Clara snarkily said.

All I could do was hiss back at her while the cuffs were burning my wrists. I felt something prick my neck and could not believe they had given me a shot of something. It was meant for me not to shift and to weaken my wolf. I had to start thinking of a plan to escape with Mom in tow, but this crap they injected me with made me all kinds of fuzzy.

“How and where did you break in, Felix?”

All I could do was make sounds like a damn baby; I could not form words. My eyes were droopy, and I just looked up before me and dropped my head, letting my eyes roll back into my head.

“You look pissed, Felix, but you know what? You cannot deny that this is what you do, but only to rogues or people you can stand.” Clara spits out.

“We will leave you, for now, to let you think and speak coherently enough to answer our questions truthfully,” Xavior states as he takes Clara’s hand, and they move out of sight.

All I could do was ask myself why? Why did I do this to myself, knowing I could get caught? We'd like to clarify; I did get caught. I was careless and stupid because I let my anger get in the way. I had to do some soul searching as I am making a big mess of things for us all, well, ‘shit.’
