Chapter 10

　　After my mother had dropped the shocking statement of guardians being able to teleport, she’d ended the conversation and told me I had to rest up as I’d have to meet my people at night. I’d left my father’s land as a princess and I’d come here to be a princess too.

　　Women dressed in colorful gowns had come in to fill up the tub with water, with my mum pushing me to go have my bath so I could get dressed and have the meal that had been placed on the bed next to my dress.

　　After I had soaked in the tub for almost an hour, relieving my body of the tension that it had gathered from the fear of being kidnapped by the trolls and the adrenaline from leaving the trail for Damon and the joy of finally finding my mother who I still did not know much about. She seemed so well put together and so confident of herself, a trait I did not seem to have. My mind had been filled with thoughts of how her life now must be. Was she married? Did she have other children? Did guardians get to have mates like wolves did? How would I find my mate if I had one and what was the special power she spoke about that had to be awakened.

　　I also thought of Damon, the wolf that said I was his mate. If I was a guardian, was it possible to be the mate of a wolf? Or was that an illusion created by my mother and the witches that were in accordance with the guardians? Lost in thought, I didn’t hear my mother walk in until I felt my head being patted.

　　“What are you thinking of as a child?”

　　“How am I the mate of a wolf if I am a fae and guardian hybrid? Neither of my lineages require me to have a mate.”

　　“We used the Alpha to get you here. The wolves are known to have a curse if they take too long to have mates. So we used that vulnerability to get you here. We also need an alliance with the wolves so I am hoping he comes here to find you.”

　　“You used him and me?”

　　“We didn’t use you. I didn’t want to. I wanted my daughter back home but I also need to protect my people. War is brewing. There are things you do not know but will soon understand.”

　　“Then tell me! I am tired of not knowing anything. My father died and I was kept in the dark. I find out my mother was alive all this time and yet I was kept in the dark. Why is war brewing? What is happening?”

　　“Your existence and you meeting the alpha is a part of a prophecy I heard when you were born.”

　　“A prophecy?”

　　“Yes child. A child born of Fae and a night walker will birth a child born to a wolf and the child will rule the supernaturals. To be born or to die, will lie in the hands of the one who has the blood of power running in his veins.”

　　“So my child will be a killer? Any child I have with Damon?”

　　“Killer? No. Your child will rule our world as we know it as no king has ever done.”
