I was sitting on the bed, when the door opened. Three ladies came inside the room, one of them said I have to get ready for the ritual. Which I refused to comply, I gave them a hard time. Jumping on the bed, telling them not to come close to me or I'll hurt myself. It worked, they backed off leaving me to myself.
I turned the room upside down, I took out the matches that Trixie gave me. I lit it and add the fire to the candle I brought out of the drawer close to me. For the first time I saw the bunch of books in the room, I took some of it and rip their pages making a fire in the room. The ladies wanted to come closer, but they stopped in their tracks when I showed them the knife.
All these delay was part of Trixie plan, she was also the one who gave me a knife. She said when the ladies come in to dress me, that I should create some drama and buy some time. I did as she said and I must say, it's working. The door suddenly flew open in annoyance. And there came the voice of Eric, Trixie told me his name few times when we hang out. What is going on here and why isn't she dressed, he demanded
Your majesty, she won't comply with us and when we try to go near her she threaten to kill herself, one of the ladies told him. He looked at my side then heavy a sigh. Elizabeth my dear , he called trying to come closer to me. Don't come closer, I warned. Why bother yourself with all this drama, he asked. It's not necessary, no one is coming for you, he said. You lie, am very sure my family are looking for me, I told him. I told you am your only family, only me, he said in angry tone.
I want to go back to my parents, take me home. I don't belong here, I pleaded. Your majesty, some one called. The ritual can not be delayed, is she ready, April asked. I'm not going anywhere, I said among tears. Darling don't be stubborn after all you won't remember anything after the ritual, she said. I could feel someone's presence at my back. When I turned around, she was behind me. I could not move, she said something then I became dizzy. I was caught before I fell to floor by two of the ladies.
See our trouble has been solved. Let the ritual begin, she said. Make sure to bring her down in five, Eric ordered. I was unconscious but I felt and knew everything that was happening. Tears rolled down my eyes. I wanted to stop them from undressing and dressing me but I couldn't move my hand. I wanted to scream for them to stop but I can't seem to find my voice. I was just on the bed like a lifeless body. I just want to go home, I said within me.

We are five minutes away from our destination. Raven helped us teleport here while we continue our journey by road. Don't think too far, she teleported the cars first before she got to teleport us through the portal. We got to the city as expected the doors and windows are all closed. Nobody in the city was seen outside, so changing our attire was easy. We could see the castle from here. When we are all ready, we chanted the spell Raven taught us to seal our scents and the other one to get us inside the palace in no time.
***** Back home****
I went shopping, bought myself new clothes. Since Chris will be returning I have to dress sexy and tell them girls that's he's mine. Finally am having him to myself without any obstacle on the way. I never knew Elizabeth will be so easy to get rid of, if not I'd have done it myself. Just invite her on a night out, drug her and throw her at sea. But I didn't want to get my hands dirty.
I just can't stop imagining how he'll treat me or what we will do together. I can't get enough of my imagination. The popular Queen B in a relationship with the cutest boy in school. I need to dress in my killer outfit.

We got inside the castle and followed our plan. Molly and some pack members head for the weapon room, while my father lead us to the ritual ground. No one could tell the difference between us and the soldiers. We matched inside the ritual ground, on getting to the open space in front of us. What I saw made me speechless. Elizabeth was tied to a tree blood dripping from her arms. At first I couldn't move but I couldn't stand and do nothing.
My father had to use his Alpha tone on me, so I won't act impulsive. I had to control my wolf if not we won't go home with our mate and the plans will all be for nothing. We just have to wait for the right time to strike. I was still looking at my mate, all I could see was red. Suddenly two men dragged Molly and five of our pack members inside the hall.
Molly was struggling to be free. Oh what do we have here, a man asked. He must be the boss around here. He dragged her hair from behind and asked her ' who sent her'. Josh was already boiling in anger but he dare not say anything. Molly laughed at his question and said his ancestors sent her. This made him hit her hard on her chest making her to fall hard on the floor.
For the last time who sent you and what were you doing in the weapon room, he asked. Eric, Trixie called. Stop this madness at once, she said. You sent her, he asked. Yes I did, she replied. Why, answer me why, he asked in anger. Because you are not the Eric I know, you no longer care for anything anymore. I don't know when you became power hungry.
Enough, he said in anger. My father was betrayed because he has no enough power. He was then stripped of the Alpha line. As if that was not enough they accused him of murder, he said. That does not mean you should turn this way, Trixie said. I want to see and smell their fear when they see or hear my name. Even sacrificing the poor girls life for it.
I don't care, he said. Now for betraying me, seize her and lock her up. As for this little thing here kill her. Eric ordered
