The moment I locked eyes with Buddy; I couldn’t help but smile watching as he slowly stumbled over to the edge of the border between no man’s land and this Alpha border. His old dark brown walking stick in his hand, his famous pocket watch hanging from his pocket and his smile, the warmest and welcoming smile you’d ever see.

“Buddy, you’re looking well.” I smiled pulling away from Leo slightly to talk with Buddy, which from the annoyance which still continued to pour from him and his hands gr

    The next week seemed to be a blur, each day was filled with new tasks that I was given by the officials, so much so, Leo and I barely had time to see each other. The only times we’d get to speak was in the morning when we woke up or late at night, this point seeming to frustrate Leo and according to Maria, who had been by my side from the start, many of his staff pushing at the time apart for us both to get such tasks done… they received the same fate as the official I met that first day. Due to my looming coronation, I spent many hours with dress makers who with the help of Leo, began to design my dresses for the day, one for the ceremony which would be beyond large and elegant while the other, a less formal but still beautiful dress to be worn at the party. While Leo designed the dress, I was stood in my place getting measured, the women seeming to take great pleasure poking me with needles in the process, I felt as though I was some kind of ragdoll with the number of pinholes tha

His old dark brown walking stick in his hand, his famous pocket watch hanging from his pocket and his smile, the warmest and welcoming smile you’d ever see. “Buddy, you’re looking well.” I smiled pulling away from Leo slightly to talk with Buddy, which from the annoyance which still continued to pour from him and his hands grasping my waist and pulling me into his chest, Leo didn’t like very much. “I am doing well my dear but look at you, this is the healthiest I believe I have ever seen you, most feared the very opposite effect had happened when you did not return from your hunt.” Buddy exclaimed as much as his tired voice would allow, where I laughed a little looking up at Leo, whose eyes also sat on Buddy, but not with the same happiness I was feeling. “I was kidnapped by this guy.” I joked while taking Leo’s

    Once I had helped Leo to handle more of his business and we were able to eat lunch together, portions that I still hadn’t been able to finish even half while Leo, can sit through and eats two other helpings, I sat beside him in a more than luxurious car heading towards these two packs. I did wonder why we didn’t travel in wolf form, it would not only be quicker, but it was the only way as a rogue you can travel, most of us don’t have access to cars. But Leo was quick to remind me that only regular shifters would travel such a way, he has access to the most expensive cars to escort him to whichever destination he wishes. As Alpha King, he must keep up appearances and demand such a royal welcome to whichever pack he was entering, the only time he will use his wolf to travel is in dire circumstances or if he wishes to arrive in secret to plan his attacks. But this thought did take away from the terrifying realisation that I was now travelling back to a place I once lived for much of

    For what left like the first time since I arrived here, I woke up peacefully beside Leo, his arms wrapped around my body and his breathing against my neck. The activities that lasted all night flashing through my mind like a show before the door loudly knocked with a maid waking us, we had to be in the garden within that hour to take my Queen announcement photos. Normally, such photos are taken within a more formal room but Leo, seeming to know how much I adored the palace gardens which were kept beautiful, he arranged for the photos to be taken in the garden by the magnificent Spring flowers which had started to bloom. Somehow managing to get dressed and ready, we arrived in the gardens just in time and stood for around an hour capturing whatever photos these people needed. By the end, Leo and I were able to somewhat take control and captured my favourite photo of all, him holding my hand and spinning me around, huge smiles on our faces as we looked to each other and my dress, whic

    Leo continued to smile as he watched me sit on his lap, my mind seeming to rush with the name he’d just told me but at the same time, utterly confused on how this man knows for certain Evangeline, was truly my name! I didn’t know what I expected my real name to be, but I didn’t expect something so sophisticated. Could there be some sort of mistake, I mean the initials seem to match up with Leo’s mark, but could that be a coincidence?! “I can see how fast your mind is moving so allow me to explain, as you are aware, I requested for a sample of your blood to be taken in order for us to test it and run it through the database of missing persons at the palace.” Leo now furthered his explanation, sensing the rollercoaster my mind was taking with the scrap of information I knew, where I nodded my head confirming that is what I knew, the panic I felt when the nurse took the blood was evidence enough! “As you are my mate, I ordered the test to be fast tracked and to take priority over any

    “I want my mummy and daddy!” My tiny voice cries out into the darkness, that same feeling of dread that washes over me each time that I have a flashback, gripping my senses. But this time, I was not in those dark and terrifying woods that I land myself in each time that I drift to sleep, I was now sat on a broken and uncomfortable bed, the sheets dark, dirty and ripped. The cardigan which had been wrapped around my small frame in each moment I was in the woods, still keeping me warm as I trembled in place. “THEY’RE FUCKING DEAD! YOUR INNOCENT MUMMY AND DADDY ARE GONE! WE ARE ALL YOU HAVE!” Father spits venom at me as I shook on the bed, his face so close that I could smell the rotten breath he seems to always hide within his mouth. “Father, you’re scaring her!” A little boy’s voice stood behind the man says watching the interaction unfold, but this man just scoffs getting up from the bed away from me but pushing this little boy who spoke to the ground. “Shut it boy, I didn’t ask f
