“What do you want from me?”
Lyra knew better than to make her any angrier than she is now, for all she knew she was in another realm, with a foreign creature that she has no idea her strength or weakness is, and she couldn't move her body…..so she was at a huge disadvantage.
“I don't want anything from you”
Queen Samira said with a sinister smile as she started walking closer to her beautiful prey.
Lyra was now deep into confusion. If she didn't want anything from her here, why hasn't she killed her, or better still let her go.
“You are lucky dear girl”
Queen Samira said as she bent down to touch her soft silky hair and took a sniff, making Lyra shudder in utmost disgust.
Tracing her skin with her long sharp nails, she traced it so gently, like she was afraid that if she applied any more pressure she would break the porcelain doll. She had really pale skin…and her eyes, her silver eyes had a glint in them, they looked so alive.
She was perfect….
“Get your hands off of me”
Lyra said as she couldn't hide her disgust any longer, she was like a live art doll and the weird creature kept looking at her with a strange look
“You know…..ladies like you are always prettier when their mouths are shut”
Queen Samira snapped back at her as Lyra suddenly couldn't speak anymore. Her eyes widened at the realization and then it dawned on her….she was doomed.
…..”she looks like a fairy”
“She looks like she's really stupid”
The shadows couldn't help but whisper their thoughts out loud when they saw the interaction between their queen and the stranger.
….”the queen would finally get her wish”....
There was a cave, just like Ronan suspected. Dropping Caelin at the side of the cave, he transformed into his human form. Caelin was no longer in the form of a wolf, it was the result of the poison messing with her strength.
Placing his hands on her forehead, he stood still for a couple minutes and almost immediately Caelin started to cough.
Her vision was blurred as the whole world spun right at her feet. This was worse than having a hangover.
“Rest for a few minutes….then on my cue take Lyra out of here as fast as you can”
Caelin still felt like her ears were ringing. How did they even get here, her whole body ached like she was knocked out by a huge giant. But looking at Alpha's Ronan face, she knew that this wasn't the time to be weak, the alpha needed her.
Gathering all her strength, she stood up and bowed to him.
Ronan saw the struggle on Caelin's face as she tried to stand….. she'll take more time to heal than he thought, he had to stall for a longer period of time.
Taking a cigarette from his pocket, he burnt it with a lighter as he nonchalantly walked into the cave.
Queen Samira smiled as she looked at Lyra with a longing gaze as she stood up to go back to stirring her pot.
Suddenly she felt her heart stop beating for a few seconds as her expression changed. Turning back sharply, she saw bright cold silver eyes stare at her through the smoke.
“You…. how…?”
Samira asked as her eyes widened with shock.
“You should know better than set up this lowly party trick around your realm”
Her expression darkened, there was only one person in the wolves kingdom to call the spell of a powerful witch a party trick…. Everyone knew the infamous Alpha Ronan, the wolf who refused to die.
He was known for speaking a few words, and each word stabs like a knife to whoever it was directed to. He was like a myth….or a cursed nightmare. He never visits for pleasantries, he was like death, he knocked when you owed.
But she was sure she hadn't offended him or anyone in the wolf's world…yet. So why…..
“I see you're still the same Alpha Ronan”
She said as her lips curled up in a smile, but her eyes said a different thing as she desperately searched for what she could have done wrong.
“To what do I owe this curse of you showing up in my humble abode….it must be big seeing you left your throne just to see me”
Ronan smiled, he knew she was stalling so that she could figure out what she did wrong….. but he didn't want to play the roundabout game with her.
“I didn't come bearing gifts, hand over the girl”
He said as he made a fake yawn that even ticked her off more, he became bored too fast. He took another puff of his cigarette as light grey smoke came out.
Samira stood dazed as his words played out in her head…he wanted the girl. The almighty Alpha Ronan left his throne for a girl.
No….no, she has come this close to getting her dream face once more and she isn't going to let it slip out.
“I read an article once Alpha Ronan…. smoking is bad for the heart….or was it the lungs”
She asked sarcastically as her snake-like eyes moved around and finally settled in his face.
“It turns the inside black, leaving nothing of the person. But that doesn't matter to you, your insides are already black. Black can't get any more darker”
She said as her tongue came out and quickly went back in.
Taking another puff, he held it in longer before the light grey smoke peeked out again. Throwing the remaining cigarette on the ground he stepped on it and crushed it. His eyes met hers as she took an unconscious step back in fear.
“Surely you're not the one to talk about smokes”
He said as she turned to look at the boiling pot with thick dark smoke.
“But there's not much damage to he done seeing that you already look like this”
