The Witch, the hunter and the Alpha

Considering the inheritance my parents left me, all my decisions were so hard to take. I knew this was my last chance to leave this castle, the castle that I know from as far as I remember being My Home. Being the only child of my father I was having the only right to rule as the Queen of this castle. The age was approaching and the tutor I had, maybe the worst in all the times, was finishing his job. Or at least that should happen. I felt tears in my eyes and my soul trembled at the thought of it, but the things my own uncle and tutor was planning to do with me, were the trigger of my decision. There were whispers I have heard among the servants because I had no friends or connections with the exterior of this castle, my uncle made sure of this. And it wasn't like I did not know this time will come, as I was about to have 21 years old and he expected me to unleash my great power, as I was coming from the longest line of witches and of course each and one of them with great powers. That and the fact the law was granting me the power to be the Queen with no marriage. His idea of using my power was to help him gather as much land as possible, kill everyone in his path that would not surrender their crown. I knew I had great power in me, not knowing yet how much and what was the kind of it, but it was great and meant for great things, not to serve a purpose for my uncle. His wrong idea about me was that I was submissive and ready to fulfill all of his mischievous desires. Each witch would have the power of wind, fire, earth, and water, the four elements but only at the age of 21 years old, she would discover her element.  I was at his mercy, everyone around me was afraid of my uncle, except my nanny, but I could consider that I was on my own and needed to make the wisest decision. Stay and have him take control over me and my life, or leave and come back after I have gathered my strength and finally discovered my powers. But also needed to be aware not to be caught as the punishment would have been severe. I was not afraid for me, but for my dear nanny who meant the world for me. He is a mighty Alpha, but cruel. His son Eduard, who would want to marry me was a puppet of his father, but no less cruel. Both my only family left but would treat me as the tool they were having already the conviction I was in their hands. Their idea of fun was to bring poor people who have done minor things like, stealing an apple, or leave a poor cow to eat some of the grass of the land, and put them in the prison and torture them till their death. And would not have mercy for their families eighter. At first, I thought I see some compassion in my cousin Eduard, but under the firm hand of my uncle, he turned to be just like him. I can only assume this was happening since I saw people entering the dungeons, nobody coming out except the trained soldiers from my uncle's pack. Screaming for hours, days some weeks. He took this land as his own when my parents died and I was 10. Small enough for him to keep, but big enough to see what was happening. He was having the impression that I am a mindless sheep and easy to control. This face of me I have shown him for years, very well advised by my nanny, Maria. She was next to me as far as I can remember and was keeping me informed with what she heard from the other servants, or seen with her own eyes. Not always giving me the details, but I had quite a picture in my head. Of course under low profile, because if he would ever find out, he would just cut her head off. He was always kind to me, but I know this was his charade because of his plans with me. In his rotted soul, it wasn`t any trace of kindness. When he came to claim the throne, my parents just died in a very suspicious way, then I couldn`t have possibly known what happened, but now I know, and I swore at their grave that his death will be 10 times greater. As I grew up with his son he started to have the impression that if his Beta son claims me, he will be in total control of both my powers and kingdom, and no one would ever challenge him about his rights. He also made me subtle confessions that he wants to conquer the world with me by its side, and as a reward, I will have his attention. From the little nanny Maria told me I began to blush, he thought I took it as a compliment, but I was boiling inside, I hide my fists inside my skirts just not to make a scene. All of this put together made me take the decision. I will leave and nobody will stop me.  I wasn`t needing much help, my nanny would have had asked me for some time now to leave. She said she had the little cottage of her parents well hidden from the world, and there I could be safe. I chose the day in a week from now, as it was coming to a fabulous ball where I haven`t been invited but I couldn't be happier, deciding once and for all the first part of my plan. It will be lots and lots of drinking for my neighbor King Richard and his son Alpha Eric, whom I`ve never met but I heard rumors that they both have lost beloved ones. King Richard had lost his wife, Alpha`s Eric mother. At some point, I was thinking to ask King`s help, but I was afraid I would only complicate things if he would refuse me, and drooped the idea. Anyway, my plan will not fail as I would have the advantage of magic with me. The curse of magic as I was seeing it, will be my salvation.
