4. DUNGEON

Amairah Garcia's POV: 

The moment that person named Conner made me step out of the room. I was scared as if someone had sentenced me to death. I was scared for other people too. It was first time and first times are always scary. 

That man beside me gently rubbed my elbow as if telling me to not get scared and move further. I took a deep breath as I should be listening to that man's order before his gentle side vanished away just like that grey eyed man.

He didn’t have any gentle side.

 I stepped outside of the room as seconds felt like hours. 

There was a vast window wall before my room's door as I also had a gallery in my room but there were tress that blocked my view from outside. I could only see the wild and dark forest from there but from this window I could see the sun shining brightly illuminating the whole corridor. 

Conner didn't touch me anymore as for that I was glad. He was also looking at me with suspicious eyes while I was glancing at each and everything passing by. 

He had suspiciousness in his eyes mostly because I was smiling as if I was excited seeing everything even the vase with flowers. Who could have smiled like me when someone was taking him to the prison? 

Well that wasn't in my control. I was fascinated by everything that was coming in my way. 

He guided me the way and I was simply following that without looking at him. I didn't know how normal human beings start a conversation so I refrain myself from doing anything stupid. 

"This way." Eventually the fancy corridors came to an end as he motioned me towards a black door with stairs going down towards a dark place. 

He grabbed a lantern to guide me the way as the stairs were uneven made up of stones. All my fascination vanished in the air as we reached the dungeon. There were small cabins guided by metallic rods with people lying in them. They weren't looking as good as the man behind me and that man who owned everything. He was standing in my castle and still had the nerve to say he owned everything.

Huff!

"You will stay here. I will come after searching for the Queen and if we couldn't find her you will be answerable." He made me enter a small cabin as I was again caged but this time I didn't have that luxuries.

"Ssh!...Ssh!" The moment he locked the door and turned around to go away I called him. I think that wasn't the right way to call someone as he tilted his head towards me with wide eyes. 

"What?" He asked still looking at me with confused emotions. 

"M-my b-bed?" I asked in the most humble way as this room was empty except a table in the centre with a glass of water placed there. 

"WHAT?" He didn't scream but his eyes were as wide as saucers until he started laughing. I glanced at him with a smug smile as I also wanted to know the reason for laughing. 

"B-bed?" I asked again in case he didn't hear my voice. My voice came out so weak even his laughter was loud than that. 

"Have you ever been to a cage?" He moved forward towards me glancing at me through the rods. I swiftly shook my head in yes as in all these years I was living in the cage. 

"Did they give you bed there?" Now his smile had vanished as he was asking me with curiosity. I again shook my head in yes as now he was looking at me with dumbfounded expressions. 

"Holy ****! You humans have I think different criteria for prisoners but listen to me woman we are Dark Spades. Even the other werewolves fear us mostly because they know we don't give them bed in the prisons. Now enjoy the prison protocol from the Dark Spades." He ended his words sarcastically as he left leaving my mind in haze as my ears were still developing in listening to their words and he left saying everything in haste but I did understand the word werewolf. I have read about it but I vaguely remember. I thought that was a myth. 

"Every myth has some truth in it and here's the truth about werewolves. They are here to rule over us." I abruptly turned around to find a woman in the cabin next to me. She was old with wrinkles all over her face and white hairs but her eyes and smile were young. She was looking in pain but still she was smiling. 

I glanced at her cabin as she also didn't have the bed. That's the protocol for everyone I guess but they might give me bed listening that I am a Queen.

"Rule?" I moved towards her but I stayed afar from the rods.

"Yes, they will kill the Queen and then rule over humans. It’s bizarre to hear werewolves ruling over humans. They should have their separate land to rule." The woman said as she moved a little making me look at her hands tied with metallic rod. I glanced at my hands as if they did the same thing to my hands, they would break and then I won't be able to write anymore. 

"You look delicate and fragile even your dress is not that average. Are you a relative to the royal family?" The woman looked at me with narrowed gaze making me abruptly shook my head in no. I just came out of the cage although this cage wasn't as comfortable like that but still I want to see more people and listen to their voices. 

I can't tell them I am the Queen.

Author's POV:

"Make two armies separately for humans and werewolves but they would sleep together, eat together and train together. Just their methods of training would be different." Zackarya asked the General standing behind looking at their people getting training. There were different fields for archery, wrestling etc in the same ground. 

"So that humans and werewolves become united for the war without any discrimination among them. As you say sir." General liked his idea as he also didn't want the training ground to become a battle field. 

"It's quite difficult. Humans are scared of werewolves and that's why they kill them and werewolves are scared of humans because they kill them and that's why they hate them." Conner said standing beside Zackarya with scrutinized gaze on the people.

"It will take time to change the mentality of the people and we have time for that." Zackarya smiled at the source of the voice as they turned around to find the army general of the werewolves, Kaz Mal. 

He was wearing the greyish fur gown showing his small weapons from the side. His eyes were blue with dark brown hairs. He was more muscular than Zackarya as he was also the Alpha and the general.

"Sir." Kaz tilted his head in respect to the king as he smiled looking up. "So you have finally conquered it." He moved towards him as Zackarya hugged him. Kaz stood behind to look after the West Island after he trained the army but now they had to move onto the further step so he came here. 

"Your mate has sent a lot of letters for you." He hugged Conner as he smiled perfectly knowing how much her mate must be anxious for him as he hadn't written the letter to her. 

"This is the General of human army." Zackarya introduced as they shook their hands with each other. 

"You are going to work together on a same level so better respect each other's views." Zackarya said as he moved towards Conner raising his eyebrow as Conner understood what he meant.

"She is in the prison. I just give her time to get comfortable before starting the inquiry. Also our men couldn't find the Queen and..."Conner whispered glancing at the general who was busy talking with Kaz about their military training. "...apparently no one has seen the Queen’s face not even the General." Conner explained as Zackarya shook his head. 

"Fine I would ask her." He said as Conner looked at him with a smug smile.

"You?" He asked as Zackarya just clenched his jaw to make him shut up and he did. 

Zackarya disappeared through the doors as Conner went to Kaz and General. 

"Hey I want to ask something from you?" Conner asked from General as they both looked at him as he continued. "Do you humans give the prisoners bed?" He asked as Kaz and General looked at him with slacked faces. 

"Whatever. Leave it." Seeing their expressions he moved away as he went towards Kaz bedroom to take the letters from his bag. 

Zackarya moved towards the dungeons as the moment he was about to step on the stairs a woman in orange colored gown appeared from there. 

She immediately bowed down seeing the King as she was looking suspicious. She had curly red hairs with milky white skin as she was looking in haste but seeing the King she got scared. 

"What are you doing here?" He asked as only the soldiers were allowed there. 

"M-my friend. I came to see her. I am sorry." She bowed her head as an apologetic gesture as Zackarya shook his head before moving down the stairs. 

The curly haired woman took a long sigh as she turned around to hit someone as her whole mind shook. 

"Are you blind?" The soft voice she adapted in front of the King was gone as she asked harshly. 

"I think I am now." She glanced upwards to find a man dominantly standing there. His clothes were looking expensive but she didn't have to talk to him as she swiftly walked past him. Kaz stood there with a smirk. After thirty years he found his mate. She was a human but he wasn’t a king so there weren't any complications for him. He smiled moving towards the stairs going towards the dungeon.
