Forced to marry the crown prince

The Past

Rafe: 

    "Rafe I watched you kill my father" Anger took over my body and I felt all reasoning leave me, I stormed over to her. I could see the fear in her eyes, she backed up until she ran into the wall. I grabbed her shoulders and she looked to the side, scared to death of me. "How do you know that?" I roared, she flinched and I realized what I was doing, I let go of her shoulders and she looked at me. "I was with him before you and your father got there, when you knocked on the door dad told me to hide in the closet, so I did. I saw it all, I watched you murder my father for no reason, I watched you plunge a sword through his heart. you were my best friend, and I loved you but that love turned to hatred the second you killed my father" My anger plunged to the surface and I let it, "YOU DON'T KNOW A DAMN THING" I screamed. She looked me in the eye challenging me, and I could tell her anger was rising. she stepped to the side and put some distance between us, "I know enough, sire" Sire: she said that word with such disgust, I stormed towards her and grabbed her shoulders again. this time instead of flinching she just shoves my arms away. I grabbed her harder this time and threw her on the bed behind her. she tried crawling away but I grabbed her legs trapping her. "let go of me" she squirmed more. "Kathryn you will learn to respect me. and whether you like it or not you will be my wife, or there will be consequences." she stopped squirming and looked me in the eyes. "Let go of me" I knew that I wasn't going to get anywhere with her. I let go of her legs and took a few steps back.  "okay, I'll be back later tonight and hopefully you'll have calmed down. Oh and I'll send your ladies maid in soon" I looked at her for a moment before I left and I could tell that she was barely holding herself together. when I closed the door as I left I herd her break down into tears. how would I make her see that I had no choice, how would I convince her to trust me again? 

Kathryn: 

    when he shut the door behind him I couldn't hold it in anymore, the tears fell down like a flash flood. I cried for what felt like hours, exhausting myself. without realizing, I lied down and dowsed off. my mind was spinning again, all I could see was Rafe killing my father. over and over again I saw it. like a never ending nightmare I saw him. he started saying my name. "Lady Kathryn, Lady Kathryn wake up, my lady" I jolted awake confused and scared "My lady your crying whats wrong" I jumped, not realizing that anyone was there. This must be my lady's maid, I smiled at her hoping that she might be my only chance at a friend. I nervously back up a bit on the bed until my back was against the backboard of the bed and took a deep breath. "sorry you startled me" she looked concerned and worried and I didn't know why. "I'm sorry is something wrong?" I asked her hoping that I hadn't done anything wrong. "My Lady you were crying, are you okay?" my hands flew to my cheeks and I could feel the tears. When was I crying? why was I crying? I thought back at what had happened and remembered the nightmare I had. I laughed nervously completely embarrassed, "sorry I didn't realize I was crying" she still looked worried, "should I get the prince for you my lady?" "NO" the word flew out of my mouth so fast I shocked myself. If I thought she looked worried then I was wrong, the look on her face was like nothing I had ever seen before. "sorry I didn't mean for that to sound harsh, it was just a simple nightmare nothing to concern the prince with" I gave a small smile to try and convince her but she wasn't buying it. "I'm sorry my lady, would you like to talk about it?" she seemed so genuine and kind I just hoped that she really meant it. "It's nothing big enough to talk about, however I would love it if you just called me Kathryn, after all we are going to be spending a lot of time together, and I would rather be your friend than your lady" she gave a faint laugh, "My lady if his majesty found out he would have my head on a silver platter" of course he would, he just has to be in control of everyone and anything, I had to find a way out of here before the wedding. "Fair enough, but at least call me lady Kathryn, I think my head would explode if that's all I heard" she finally smiled. she had such a pretty smile, I just hoped that working at the castle didn't ruin her happiness. "It is a pleasure to me you Lady Kathryn, My name is Emilia and I will be your lady's maid and I look forward to serving you and his majesty prince Rafe"  "Emilia, what a gorgeous name. I do hope we can be friends though" her smile warmed my heart, I wished I could rid her from this life and give her something special, I wonder if that was possible, it was highly unlikely being that King Liam would have to accept my request but I could hope. "Emilia, I would like it if you took the rest of the night off, I'm sure I'll be able to manage on my own, and I'm sure you have a life of your own"  I could tell she wanted but she looked hesitant, "I cannon My lady, my job is here and I don't want to leave before my duties are done" "Your duties are done for today Emilia, you have made me feel welcome and loved and that is all I could ask for, now please go enjoy your night before the sun sets" A smile swept across her face and I knew I had just made her day, she bowed and her smile never dropped, "thank you Lady Kathryn, you are truly too kind" I laughed at her happiness and silently wondered if I would ever be that happy again, "Now off with you, and tell me all about what you decide to do tomorrow morning" she half skipped out of the room and I was left by myself. 

Rafe: 

    "fear" my fathers words echoed through my mind "You have to show her something to be afraid of or she will never respect you, show her the monster that dwells beneath your skin, show her your secret and she will fall into line" my secret. showing her my secret would change everything, she would know how we won the war and came to rule the world, she would know why my father made me kill her father she would know it all, and she would fear me like everyone else. I didn't want her to be afraid but I might not have a choice, If word gets out that my bride wont even obey me how will my kingdom? winning this war wasn't easy and I wasn't going to let my peoples work go to waist, I had to put her in her place. Its only been a day maybe she just needed a little time to cool down and process what was happening.maybe she would come to respect me on her own. the last thing I wanted to do was introduce her to the beast that lies just beneath the surface. My family was no ordinary family. No, we had a dark secret, a part of us wasn't human, a part of us was a viscous beast thought to only be legend. beneath my skin lied a wolf. A blood thirst beast. a beast hungry for power, A beast hungry for her.
