The Lost Princess Returns

Chapter Six

*Gwen’s View*

It has been a week since I saw him. Why can I not get him off my mind? It has been frustrating me. Eryn! I sigh internally. I think I need to find him and talk about everything with him, my feelings, get to know him.

I lay in bed, contemplating everything that I wanted to talk to Eryn about and being brought back into reality by the sound of my alarm. Groaning, I forgot about school. Time to get up and get ready, I suppose. After an hour, I had showered, gotten dressed, had breakfast and was now waiting outside in Caleb’s car. I swear, he takes longer to get ready than I do.

Five minutes later, Caleb decides to make an appearance.

“Oh my God, what took you so long, dimwit?” I was exasperated.

All I hear is a chuckle and a “shut up” from my beloved brother. All I can do is roll my eyes and get in the car.

It was a quiet drive to school. I was staring out the window and wondering about what Eryn’s eyes looked like. I ended up zoning out and came back to reality when I heard Caleb shouting my name and saying that we are at school. I gathered my back and get out of the car and walked into school with Caleb at my side.

Within seconds, I feel someone's arms wrapped around my waist, but the feeling it is giving me makes me uneasy.

“Mmm hello pretty”, Bailey sniffs “You smell so good today!”

“Get the f**k off me, Bailey”, I hissed at him. Ughh, God, I hate him. He holds onto me tighter. “Seriously, Bailey, let me f*****g go!” I can feel an internal heat growing inside of me. I have never felt anything like this.

“You will be mine, you c**k-tease, just you wait” Bailey smirks as he lets me go and walks off.

I looked around for Caleb, but he disappeared. I could have used his bloody help. Oh well, I had better find Bella and get to our first class of the day.

*Eryn’s View*

I have been going crazy. It has been a week since I saw her. Since I saw my queen. I wish it weren’t the case, but I had been called back home for important business within the pack. How I wish she had been here with me, my Luna.

*One week ago*

The moment I walked away from the beautiful Gwen, was when I received the call from my father, the previous Alpha, Lucian.

“Yes, father?” I hesitantly answered the call.

“Son, you need to come home now. We have had a breach.” He spoke with a panicking voice. f**k!

“Okay, I will be there as soon as I can” I replied as I ended the call. This is not good.

Since I have been home, my father and I, along with my chosen officers, my Beta Jordan, my Gamma Luca and head warrior Michael, we have been looking into this breach, but somehow, we are not able to find a damned thing. All we have found is that someone broke through out defensive border, but besides that, absolutely nothing. It is driving me insane.

After our meeting, it is close to 5pm, almost time for some dinner. I can admit that I am starving. I go up to my room and have a shower and get myself ready before heading down to the dining room to enjoy what is for dinner tonight.

As I am eating dinner, Jordan pulls up a chair beside me and looks at me suspiciously.

“Dude, where is your head at?” he questions.

I gazed at him with annoyance. “What do you mean?”

“Well, since you came back here, you have been… different. It’s like you aren’t even here. What happened on your trip?” he blurted out.

I put my head into my hands and groaned. “Jord, I found her!” I admitted. I glanced over at him, and he just looked shocked. Here we go!

“What?! Where is she then?” he asked a little too joyfully.

“Ughhh. She is still in high school, and our mate bond wasn’t properly confirmed,” I said defeatedly. My Luna, I need you.

Jordan just looked at me weirdly, as if he didn’t understand.

“The one time she looked at me, I was wearing sunglasses, so she was unable to actually see my eyes for our mate bond to be confirmed.” I answered his non-vocalised question. He just nods his head and places his hand on my shoulder.

“You need to go get our Luna, Eryn. We need her, YOU need her!” he stated as he got up and walked out of the dining room.

I know this, Jord, I know this, I thought. It is time I made plans to see her again. Maybe I might just invite her and her family to come and visit.

*Gwen’s view*

Laying here in bed, on a Sunday morning. It has been three days since that encounter with Bailey. I am seriously considering talking to my mum about transferring schools. I just can’t handle the bullshit he brings to my school life anymore. Nope, stuff this, I am talking to mum about it today.

With the confidence scorching through my veins, I irrationally kick my blankets off my body and get out of bed. I put my slippers on and headed downstairs to the smell of freshly cooked apple and cinnamon muffins. I walked into the kitchen to see my mum, slaving away and making food.

“Mum, can we please talk about something serious?” I begged. Mum turned around and looked at me curiously.

“What’s wrong, sweetheart?” she asked anxiously.

“Well, the thing is, Mum. I really want to transfer to a different school. Don’t get me wrong, I love the school, but, the harassment I am receiving is really starting to affect me.” I admitted to her.

“You are being harassed?” she compassionately spoke. I just nodded. “By whom?”

“His name is Bailey. He has been giving me hell since we started 8th grade, mum. It has gotten progressively worse this year too. He is making me extremely uncomfortable and is starting to make me feel threatened. I just can’t do it anymore, Mum. I don’t feel safe.” I cried.

Mum just wrapped her arms around me and held me tight. She, too, had started weeping. I turned to her and looked at her.

“Please mum”, I begged, “please let me change schools.” All she could do was nod.

“There is one thing though, sweetheart,” She said as she walked towards the table and grabbed an envelope. “We have been invited to the King of all Alpha’s pack house.”

“The what?” I exclaimed. “The King of all Alphas? What and who is that?”

“Sweetheart, I don’t know who the current one is, but I do know that he has taken over his father’s position. His father is a great man. Your father and Alpha Lucian were great friends.” Mum had explained. “We leave tomorrow. I will call your school and explain that both you and Caleb will not be attending for the next week, okay>”

I was in shock, but I managed to give my mum an accepting nod, Wow, the King of all Alphas. I wonder if that is any different to dad’s position as King of all werewolves. I think I really need to sit down with either Grandpa or my Dad and learn about all this werewolf stuff.

*Two hours later*

After having dinner, I decided to pack my bags for this random trip to see the King of Alphas. I wonder who this king is. Listening to music while packing, I didn’t hear Caleb enter my room.

“Gwen?” he spoke softly. Next, I hear him in hysterics because I jumped so badly.

“f**k sake! Caleb, don’t do that. You scared the crap out of me?” I screamed at him. “What do you want?”

“Well, I was wondering how you feel now that you know what we are?” He questioned me cautiously.

“To be honest, it scared the hell out of me but does explain my fitness level and the love I have for the outdoors. Woah, wait a minute. Calen, did you know already?” I demanded.

Caleb looks at me, nervously. This isn’t like him at all. s**t, he knew!

“You did know?! WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?!?!” I screamed at him. Tears were now welling up in my eyes. How could he keep this from me?

” I’m sorry, Gwen. Grandpa and I have always been in touch. He told me to keep it a secret for the moment and wanted to wait until you were old enough to understand. There have been so many times that I wanted to tell you about who we are, but I just couldn’t. I truly am sorry,” he surrenders. He sat down beside me and wrapped an arm around me. I simply stayed cuddled up in my brother’s arms as I wept. I can understand, I thought.
