Heart of Glass

Meeting of a lifetime

Eleanor’s POV

Today, I was having lunch with a potential client, May said. And it was already noon and I would be meeting him / her. To my dismay, May left out that detail of who the client would be, even I forgot to ask her as we were crunched for time. The meeting was setup in a fancy restaurant. I give my name to maître d' and he led me to a private room in the corner. As soon as I entered the room, I could smell that the person was a werewolf. As I went around, I could see he was a middle aged person, with graying hair and a light sparkle in his eyes. There was something in his eyes, that showed emotions as soon as he saw me. Standing across, I smiled and extended my hand and said, “Hi, I’m Eleanor, Eleanor d’ Castle”. He looked at me astonished and I could see tears in his eyes, as he heard my name.

“H-How are you even alive?” he asked me.

“I’m sorry what?”.

“How are you even alive? Wasn’t your parents killed in that rogue attack?”

I was dumbfounded.

“Who- who are you? How do you know my name?”

“I’m sorry, where are my manners. I’m Henry, Princess. Please have a seat.”

“Princess??” what the heck is he talking about?

“Princess? Are you alright?”

“No, you’re mistaken, I’m no princess. I’m just Eleanor.”

“Ok, Ms. d’ Castle. How much do you remember about your parents and your past?”

“well….”

“It’s ok dear. You can trust me. I knew your parents well. I was like an advisor for them.”

“Advisor? My parents were simple people. I am from Full Moon pack. My Alpha’s name is Philips Connor.”

“Ok. But do you know where your parents were or what they used to do before coming to the Full Moon pack? ”

“I…” I thought about it for a second, I vaguely remember my mom telling me the story, that we moved to the pack from a very big castle and daddy used to do business there. But where was the question, to which I don’t have the answer.

"I'll tell you Ms. d' Castle", he said as I continued to watch him carefully. The same emotion that were seen in his eyes, as soon as he saw me, came back along with some tears.

“Your parents were the Alpha King and Queen and you are from the Royal Luna pack. The last living heir of his majesty. We’ve searched for you high and low throughout the world after your parents took you away as soon as you were born. He used to call me everyday from an undetectable phone, which we couldn’t trace, keeping us in dark about the location.”

My mind was reeling with the information he was saying out, I couldn’t concentrate but Elina seems to grasp all that he was saying while I spun in my own vortex.

“His majesty, your dad said that one day, when you don’t receive any call from me for our monthly review, just acknowledge that we are no more and our darling daughter’s life may be in jeopardy. When the time comes she will come to you as visioned by Lena.” Oh Lena was my mom’s name, if you’re wondering.

No, No, No…. this can’t be happening. I’m not anywhere near royalty. I was like a very shy, calm and always afraid of one or other thing, till that incident. After that I had to pull myself up together to prove to the world, that I, Eleanor d’ Castle, am not afraid and I can stand on my own. I worked my ass out to make to the point where I'm today.
