“How long ?” I asked Izzy.

“How long do you have left ?” She replied. “Not long princess. The Prince wanted you pliable but the witch needs your wolf awake to extract your powers. Yes she knows about both. It’s the only reason she is helping me.”

“I meant how long have you hated me?”

“Does it matter?” She looked at me angrily. I didn’t think she was going to answer but she surprised me yet again “I maybe liked you in the beginning, even though you were annoyingly better at everything. Honestly I probably didn’t hate you until I found out the Prince was my mate. It’s been so hard to pretend all these weeks, I so glad the cat is out the bag.”

It strangely gave me some solace that she hadn’t been fake my entire life. It wasn’t like I would forgive her for this but I could understand how it would hurt for your mate to want someone else, even politically. Even if it did sound like the Prince wanted more than that.

I needed to concentrate on getting myself out of here, feeling sorry for Izzy and mourning the loss of my friend wasn’t helpful right now.

“Soon, I’ll be strong enough. But we need to wait a little longer if we can’t use our powers then we will be no match for the witch, let letting her think you are weak.”

I made a show of leaning against the wall, managing to move myself just little closer to the door in doing so. I tried to discretely scan the room. As I watched Izzy turn a piece of paper to dust.

“How did you get your fire gift ?” It suddenly occurred to me that it didn’t flow through her father’s line.

“You know for all the training they have you to be queen you really didn’t pay as much attention to the witches did you.” She shook her head. “Mummy dearest gave me her powers, when it turned out I didn’t get a gift. It was a shame she had to lose her wolf though, I wish they had only know that that her powers would diminish when the wolf was destroyed.”

How was I not aware her mother lost her wolf? This must have happened a while ago, on one of their trips home. Just like they had all come here shortly after her birthday, that would be when she found out the prince was her mate.

Where was her mother’s wolf? Izzy’s wolf Ayra was nothing like her mother’s, having seen both often enough I was confident of that. As much as I wanted to learn more about how they had managed this I knew I needed to focus on getting myself out of here. I didn’t know how long the Prince would take with whatever he ran of to do and when he returned to find me missing I knew he would be on my trail. The longer headstart I could get the better.

My legs felt stronger now, so the next time Izzy turned her back to me I blasted her with air. Crucially forgetting that Raine wasn’t fully recovered my blast didn’t crash her again the wall as planned but it did knock her flying, causing her to drop whatever she had and I heard it smash as I threw myself at the door.

Forcing my legs to run I ran back down the corridor, heading in what I hoped was the right direction.

I heard footsteps coming after me but my headstart meant I had rounded the corner out of sight. Izzy would catch me soon though, i was moving much slower than normal. I was considering looking for a hiding place when I heard an unusual voice up ahead.

“My King?”.

“Uliana?”

“Hide.” Raine whispered in my head. She immediately fell silent again.

I ran into the nearest room, desperately looking for a place to hide. I had no idea what this room was I had ran into but I heard movement near the door and the voices got louder. Just my luck they coming this way. I swallowed down the panic that threatening to rise in my chest. I looked round and saw a little room at the back, there was a sink of some sort there and I flew inside. The window was closed but the King had entered the room so I shrunk back against the wall. Colliding with a mirror and moved sideways so I was hopefully hidden from sight.

In the mirror, I could see the back of this Uliana. Her long dark hair plaited with multiple little braids snaking down to her waist.

“I was waiting for you to call me. I believe the Princess is here.” I heard her say.

“Not yet, I’m not sure we will need you yet, she seems smart enough to be compliant, for now.” I saw the King lick his lips as he spoke.

“I’m not sure your son will be happy with your thoughts right now.” Uilana said in a snappy tone as she went to walk back out the door.

“Now, now my love. No need to be jealous, the princess is beautiful but I don’t believe for a minute her skills will rival yours in any form.”

I watched as he grabbed her a**

“In fact why don’t you put that smart mouth to use. There is something I need taken care of.”

I watched as he pushed her head until she knelt before him, unzipping his pant as his c*** stuck out. I suppressed a shudder at the look on his face.

Her head moved to block my view thankfully but I couldn’t block out the slapping noise as he thrust himself into her mouth, nor the moans coming from his mouth.

After what felt like an eternity I heard her gagging as his thrusts sped up before he must had been done with her.

Peeking around the corner his hand was still fisted in her hair as he put himself way and pulled her to her feet.

Letting her go I saw his hand dive under her skirt. A barely suppressed moan uttered from her lips.

“Oh so wet for me,” Takjng his fingers out he licked them before patting her a**.

“I have things to do. Join me in my chamber later.”

“You can’t leave me like this.” She spluttered indignantly.

“Oh but I can sweet cheeks, it makes it all the better knowing you will be aching for this c***.”

“Who is to say I won’t find someone else to help me out.”

There was a shriek of pain but I didn’t dare move to see what was going on now, now they were in the doorway and out of my eyesight.

“Now, now, you know better than that. What happened last time you thought to make jealous ? We wouldn’t want a repeat of that my dear.” He hissed so lowly I barely heard.

The whimpering stopped and I heard footsteps moving away. I was sure of was only one set so I waited a little longer. Sure enough I heard someone suck in a deep breath, composing themselves before she too marched out the room.

Waiting a few seconds to calm my racing heart I turned to the window. The lock hadn’t been used for a while so it took an almighty heave to get it open. Once I had opened it enough I climbed onto the sink and squeezed my body through.

It was a fair drop down and I tried to land as lightly as possible, rolling to break my fall but I still landed with the bone shuddering bump.

Quickly springing to my feet I could feel some strength returning, whatever they had given me must have been starting to wear off.

I tried to get my bearing as I could see I was in a courtyard of sort. Running to the edge I didn’t hear footsteps so turned sharply left and crashed straight into Prince Alonso.

Bouncing of him, I stumbled and fell to the floor.

“Ah there you are Princess.” I raised my hand to blast him out my way but I felt a burning pain in my neck. Whimpering and felt his burning heat push my hands to the floor. I saw a used syringe on the floor.

“Raine? help.”

There was no response from my wolf, she must have used up any energy she had conserved getting me out that room.

“It seems I underestimated you.” He looked down at me on the floor.

“What have you done to me?”

I didn’t feel the same as before, then I felt weak but now I couldn’t describe what was wrong.

“Making sure to are pliable enough for what happens next. I think we have wasted enough time.”

He picked me up again, growling at me as I tried to kick him away.

It wasn’t long before I was back in his room, lying back on the same bed. Only this time he reached into the drawer beside me and pulled out a rope.

“Seems I need to tie you up.” His eyes gleamed as he pulled my arms above my head, they felt heavy like they were made of lead.

He stood back and stared at me.

“I have imagined this moment for a long time.”

“What moment ? Drugging me and tying me up. Oh how romantic.”

“I’ll admit this is plan B but the end result will be the same. By the end of the night you will belong to me.”

I stiffened at his words. He surely didn’t plan to take me by force.

“Trust me Princess, you will thank me for this one day. A lot worse could happen. You might have my father enraptured with your beauty for now but he will always want power. Thankfully for me I get to have both. With you as my mate, together we will be stronger than him.”

He unbuttoned his jeans as he came towards me. Running his hands up my legs he pushed my dress up, my ineffective legs failing to push him off. Despite the heavy feeling in my limbs I could feel every part of his touch.

“Don’t resist Princess, we are about to be married.”

He lifted my prostate body so he could push dress up further, I felt his hands on my breasts. Fondling them through my bra.

He crawled onto the bed so he was hovering over my body. His knee pressing between my legs to force them apart. I could feel his e******, poking into my stomach as he kissed my neck.

“You don’t want to do this.” I told him.

“I’ve wanted to do this for a very long time, in an ideal world you were going to be my real mate.” He frowned at my marking spot before he started to suck at it, his hand reaching down between my legs, his fingers sneaking under the fabric of my panties.

Try as I might to clamp my legs closed, I felt them move but his knee kept the from closing.

I felt a finger push inside, scratching inside me. Turning my head away from him I felt him replace one finger with two as he pushed them in and out.

I could move my legs ever so slightly now what whatever he gave me was wearing off, hopefully faster than he was expecting.

I lay silently but wanting to give anyway my mobility but equally wanting this torture to stop. I wasn’t naive enough to think he didn’t plan to r**e.

“Don’t fight it princess, I can feel your wetness coating my finger. I know you want me to do this. Just say you want more and I’ll make you mine.” He breathed in my ear when he finished sucking on my neck and shoulders.

I remained silent, not willing to cater to his perverted thoughts.

“Don’t pretend you aren’t affected my me princess, below tells a different story.”

I felt the urge to head butt him in the face, I know I would break his nose I would have.

I felt his teeth graze my neck and I shuddered in horror.
