*Arthemis's POV*
I feel my body waking up, trying to remember what happened. As soon as my eyes flutter open, I start remembering. I ran away from the palace, I lost Oscar and the guards thankfully, it was raining and... and someone shot me with some sleeping medicine! I feel Twilight snarling in my head. "Don't worry, I'll get us out of here, just stay calm!", I say, but under all of the bravery, I'm scared to death. I try to get up, but my body won't allow it. I groan in pain and for the first time I notice my surroundings. I seem to be in some tent. Just then I see someone zipping up the tent flaps. "Nice of you to join us sweetheart!", said the man standing in front of me. I keep a straight face," What do you want from me?", I ask with a hint of fury in my tone. "Easy there love, it's not what I want with you, I'm just following orders.", he said. Ugh the British accent. "And to whom are you loyal?", I ask, slightly more curious. "Someone important, you will meet him soon. But what is a maiden like yourself, wandering around the forest at night?There are dangerous things at night,lurking for defenseless pray.Especially someone as fair as yourself!", he said smugly. "What? Like wolves? Vampires? Rogue?", I answer with a smirk. I watch his face. He's as pale as a sheet. "You- you know about us? ", he asked in a hushed tone. I nod my head. "Oh please tell me your not a bloodsucker?", he pleaded. "It's not very fair to tell you who I am, when I have no clue of whom you might be?", I say with a innocent look upon my face. He sighs," I am Lucas,Beta of the Nightfall pack, Knight of the Kingdom of Mirella." A shiver runs down my spine when he said those words... I am being held captive by the same people who killed my best friends father... Our Delta! I see Lucas eyeing me, I refuse to tell him anything about me now. "Go on then, get it over with.", he says smiling. "No.", I say blatantly. "That's not really fair is it love? Come on, just tell me who you ar-", he cut off. Cloudy eyes... Mindlink! Great now I can see the i***t who held me captive! I feel myself getting red hot with anger. "Alpha wants to see you now", he said. "He is not my Alpha, but I shall see him, so that I can make sure he will pay for what he did to me", now I'm really mad. Anger gushes over each word that comes from my mouth. "I understand your frustration over the situation, but please if Alpha hears you... neither of us would like the consequences. Now if you would follow me please", he says while holding out his arm for me. I take it and start walking with this redheaded boy. He leads us to a fire place where everyone sits. I can smell everyone is wolves here, but I quickly evaporate my scent, a trick I've learnt a long time ago. As we walk through the guards, an aroma hits me. Twilight practically howls in my head. It smells like... the damp earth, with fallen leaves... but as you walk over the leaves one smells blossoms. She keeps screaming MATE! I refuse to except that! I try to see from which source it is coming from. I lift my gaze to one of the most dazzling figures I have ever seen in my life. And next to him I see another Lucas? I lift my eyebrow and look at Lucas. He laughs and says," Twin brother!" Oh, it makes sense. We come to a halt, and I see the figure looking down upon me. His features as hard as stone. "Mate.", I hear him whisper. His features softens a bit, but hardens almost immediately as he clears his throat. "Who are you?", he says in a harsh tone. I almost gushed out my name, but I remembered who he is! "I don't have to answer to you.", I say crossing my arms. He looks as if he is ready to rip my throat out, but I stood my ground. I hear gasps coming from all directions. I smirk, knowing I won this round. "Do you know who I am, mate?", he said. I AM NOT HIS MATE. "We are!", Twilight growls at me. "Yes, I am familiar with you, Prince Noah. I remember now... your father tried to kidnap me!", I say with hate. He looks pale. "Princess Arthemis....", he bows down to me. I don't even acknowledge his greeting. He looks genuinely sincere. "I am sorry that you had to go through all of that.", he says. "Yes well, I suppose that's how you treat people from your kingdom. Mirella is merciless. I dread that for the poor people!", I say. He looks red hot, "How I rule my kingdom is none of your concern Princess." "Yes well, perhaps your right, now if you'd excuse me, I would like to continue my journey.", I say. " And where to would that be?", he asks, his slyness is surfacing again. "Away, especially from you 'mate'", I say with disgust. "You will not be going anywhere!", he says in a quick rough tone. "And why is that", I say, clenching my teeth. "Because you are mine!", he says with a evil smirk on his face. "I DON'T BELONG TO ANYONE YOU i***t, AND I WILL NEVER, BE YOUR MATE! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT.", I scream in his face. He walks toward me, grabs my arms, which tingles all the way through, and says," Oh but you will." And with that he slaps me across my cheek.
