We Have Always Lived In The Castle Novels & Stories

“Yeah, whatever. I only said castle because I saw a future where we lived in one.” They all stopped eating and stared at me. Apparently, I hadn’t mentioned this to them before, not in the current timeline at least, and had to face twenty minutes of questions about the castle, most of my answers to which were variations of “How the fuck would I know?”, “I wasn’t paying attention” and “No idea.” It passed the time.

He never lifted his face to look at the alpha as he spoke. I knew he was going to say that from the very first time I saw him return therefore, I wasn't too surprised. "Did you search the whole hidden corners in the basement?" I asked. There were some doubts in me about his inability to do a thorough search. "Did you meet anybody on your way or while you were in the basement?" I knew it was possible to come across people in the basement because our castle is considered a place of hidden treasures. People could be looking for all sorts of things. On the night, the Revolutionists invaded our castle, I witnessed a lot of looting before I fled.

Dorin asked the groundskeeper. “Yes,” replied Damien. “The first castle even stands to this day.” “The main Magic castle!” Dorin gasped excitedly. “There was a mystic charm to the place, even now... a feeling like it was alive...” “As time went by, the family grew and needed more land to grow their crops and livestock. Soon the 3 children had to look for land of their own.

I said. “A castle?” He asked, confused. “The royal castle. It’s been empty for decades. No one has been there because my mother and her family didn’t consider themselves to be royalty. They were just werewolves and they just blended in to normal packs. But there is a royal castle somewhere. A place where this all began. With the original royal family.” I said. “We would have heard if a castle like that existed.” He said. “Exactly. They didn’t want anyone to know about it. But I know it’s out there. I have to find it.” I said.

My chest tightened under it. He wet his lips slightly, thoughtful. “Aveline,” he said slowly, “when you say you lived in a castle…” “I did,” I said. “You were serious.” “Yes.” “You lived in a castle.” “I was born in a castle,” I corrected. “And you had magic.” “Yes.” “And you had guards.” “Yes.” “And servants.” “Yes.” “And a throne,” he tried.

He sighed when I didn’t say much about the homes. “They are all lovely.” I tried to smile and then decided to stop beating around the bush. “I’m sorry. I just can’t imagine raising children anywhere else but in the castle.” I shrugged. Whenever I imagine my life with a mate, I have always pictured us raising our children in the castle. I always imagined them being taught by the royal tutors like I was.

“It’s our castle.” Our castle. I never thought I would hear those words. Just a few months ago, I lived in a dilapidated house at the edge of my village. My sister and I took cold baths and scraped together hardly enough money for a single meal a day, and now I’m married to the Lycan King. I’m no longer a poor girl living in the forest; I’m the Princess.

I grab a pair of sneakers, put them on and make my way out of my room. My sisters and I live in a very old castle, and we constantly see to its upkeep, but being a castle does mean it has what feels like an infinite amount of hallways and corridors, and given how many of us live here, it has many, many bedrooms. I’ve memorised every path in this place, so the chances of me getting lost are non-existent.

Did you know the pack house is a big old castle? 'Yes, we were best friends with Maximus's mother. Is Kayla still residing at the castle? We were best friends with her parents too. We all go way back.’ ‘She is still there. She has been teaching me how to make potions, and we study spells together,’ I say to him.

"I don't think anyone is going to sneak in. What if she wasn't talking about the event, but somewhere else?" "Now that we are all here, the castle is -" I started with a sinking feeling in my stomach. There were a lot of people living in that castle, both inside the castle and in the outhouses around the castle. "An easy target," Blaine hissed as he stopped. "We shouldn't have come here." He kicked the vanity table and hissed.
