POV The Boss
I had an important meeting with the head of a near by community. He was an awful man called Martin and I had known him since we had spent time together in prison. Since we had known each other for years our communities respected each other and there was a happy truce between us. He had set up a dinner for our arrival and I brought my right hand man Joseph with me. We sat at dinner but I was miserable. I had lost a lot of my men because I kept sending them to find the Queen for me and every time she would kill them all. I had lost all hope and I was drinking more than usual. I was impatient with my people and everyone was walking on egg shells around me. But no one could understand how heart broken I was. I would wake up in the middle of the night and sniff the air. I could tell when she was sleeping and when she was awake. I could even tell when she was horny. Her scent travelled for miles and I always thought that it did that to get to me and me only. When I found out that all men could smell her I was livid and I passed a law to my people that if I caught anyone of them sniffing the air or if any of them mentioned it again that I would hang them in front of every one in the court yard. By the time I got to Martins community I was already drunk and Joseph was desperately trying to sober me up for the meeting. I sat at Martins dinner table with a face like a smacked arse and he finally asked me what was wrong. If I would have been sober then I would never have told him the truth but in my drunken state I told him the whole story and his eye brows shot up as I explained in great detail how I would give up everything to have her. “So you mean to tell me that it’s you that has been sending men to Sutton Manor for the Queen? I thought you were crazy before but now to hear how many men you’ve sacrificed I know you’re crazy” he said with a laugh. “What would you say if I told you I could have her here for you in just a few days” I sat up straight in my chair. “One of my men has been sneaking out and meeting one of her woman every now and again. I think her name is Natalie. This girl goes into Dublin for the Queen to collect certain things they need and on her way home she always meets up with my man. I think if we kept the girl here and sent a ransom note the Queen would turn up here without a second thought. What do you say about that?” He asked and I immediately knew he wanted something from me. “What do you want in return Martin?” I asked and his smug grin made me want to punch him but I had to do something. I was desperate, I needed her more and more with every passing day. Not having her in my arms was driving me insane so I agreed with his conditions because I would have given my right arm to have her, she was my everything and now I just had to wait and she would finally be mine.
