Amaya's Reign

The path to queen part 4

Amaya sat up on the stone gasping for air. Was it all just a dream? A hallucination? What happened to her? She felt her neck and it was whole no serrated pieces. She looked down at her shirt there was no blood to be seen but she was wet. She stood up and she felt her ancestors inside of her. She heard them loudly they seemed to all want her attention at once. She turned around looking for her great aunt but she was nowhere to be seen it seemed. Amaya trudged back to her suite and her head lady in waiting immediately without words started helping her undress, she had India run a bath, she had Jhene start a fire and she had, Kehlani go to the kitchen and fetch dinner for Amaya after her bath. 

Amaya made her way into the bathtub and sank down into its warmth and immediately she began to feel better. She was starving this had been a long day. She quickly washed herself and got out of the tub she made her way into her sitting room where her dinner was laid out and waiting, she attacked it like a hungry animal. Seeing her ravenous state Her head lady in waiting nodded her head to send Kehlani back to the kitchen for more. No one said a word they let her eat her fill. When Amaya was finished she wanted to go to sleep she was so tired. She barely made it to her new bed before sleep overtook her. 

In her dream she was sitting around with the queens that had given her their essence they were telling her all the things she should know. They were telling her what she should do and how she proceed she listened that night she got an education as she slept. In the morning early Amaya got out of bed she had a purpose and she was going to fulfill it. No longer could she afford to be timid or shy, that Amaya was gone he had been killed and a new stronger, wiser, extremely intelligent Amaya had been born. She had been rebirthed and she was going to rule and bring this pack to the greatest heights it had ever seen. It was in her blood after all. 

She turned to her ladies in waiting and started to delegate task to each one of them and they all took off to fulfill her wishes. She took a shower and then stood in the mirror looking at her image. She felt like she had matured overnight her eyes were different gone from them a childish naivety and in its place wisdom and discernment. She went to her closet which was its own room in her suite and she picked out the most capable looking ensemble she could find. She put on the tallest heeled boots she could find and she put her braids in an elaborate updo. She put on dangling earrings, her wolf pendant, and an ornate ring. She studied herself in her full length mirror and was pleased with what she saw. She proceeded to add lip balm to her lips and she was done. She left her closet and she made her way to the dining room she sat at the head of the table and proceeded to be served. She looked over the papers that she had requested satisfied she adjourned to the great parlor where she came upon Jonathan whom she had sent for. She regarded him calmly as he stood, "You may be seated dear." She sat opposite him. "Have you made your decision?" Jonathan looked down at his hands he was afraid that this was what it was going to be about when he got the summons. 

"Your highness I have not..." Amaya regarded him with a cool eye she no longer felt the magnetic pull she had the first night they met in fact she felt nothing but a cold disregard. Standing she looked at Jonathan and without preamble she said, "I reject you." With those three words the mating tie was severed but to make it final Jonathan had to accept and repeat the same words. Seeing as how he was already rejected Jonathan stood and said weakly, "I reject you, as well." and with that the bond was severed. Their wolves turned their backs to each other. Amaya summoned the guards, "Have him escorted out of our territory and get him back to his pack safely." With that Amaya turned on her heel and made her way down to the training grounds she was eager to see her pack warriors in training. Sitting in the Queens box she watched the fighters of men, women, teens, even children learning to fight. They were magnificent. She would also need to learn combat if she was going to be queen that was next on her list but first things first she was looking for the strongest male warrior in the pack. She spotted him at the same time her wolf did. He was magnificent to behold. Broad strong shoulders, strong back, strong muscle ripped arms, legs looked like tree trunks. She had to calm her wolf and herself down, her wolf was lusting and it was unbecoming. Amaya summoned one of the trainers and she inquired about the fighter. She asked if he was mated to anyone yet. Apparently the women he had been fated to mate with had rejected him for another so he was still unmated. This delighted Amaya she had found her chosen mate but she had to see if he would agree to be her mate first.

Leaving instructions to have him come see her for lunch amaya took her leave.
