The Queen of Wolves

Five: Trouble

Chapter 5: Awake 

*Max*

“What do you mean she is awake??” My heart was soaring through my chest as I ran back into her room and saw them talking to her as she looked at me. I ran over and gave her the biggest hug I could. The candles in the room didn’t do her justice on what I could only describe as sadness it’s self. I pulled away from her when I heard my mates growl in the room. I shoot her a glare as she huffs and comes over. “Your majesty.” She said in a sweet voice, as she bows and I let go of my sister who was quiet and looking confused. “ Sis this is my mate, Aslaug. She is from the northern pack.” I said as she smirked proudly. “I’m the Alpha’s daughter from there.” Izzy's face lightens up as she stands up wearing a white linen gown. She grabs my mate’s hand as Aslaug gasps.

“Hello Aslaug, it is a pleasure to meet you. I’m sure you will make an amazing mate for my elder brother.” She said. Our jaws dropped, my sister's voice had a wave of leadership in it. It surprised me more than my mates as I looked at my sister who seemed different then it hit me, my sister’s eyes were different! One eye was blue and the other was green. What in the Goddess’s name happened to her.

*Aslaug*

She was awake, that matless, heir to the throne, and mute or was mute wolf was awake! Her brother may be my mate but it is my mission to become Queen. It was something I was raised for! It was something I needed for my own parents approval and to make my Pack powerful! This wasn’t fair! I deserve to be Queen not her!!! ME!! I couldn’t stop my anger forming in my stomach as she touched my hand, her indifferent eyes looking into my soul that it made me gasped as she smiled at me. It had so much kindness that it caught me off guard. When I bowed to her my wolf was purring with joy but I was fuming with hate. 

*You know she is going to be Queen of all of the werewolves! The first Queen born to the right now married into it? This is the Goddess’s choice! This is our--* 

I pushed her back as she let go and I left the chamber. I felt my hate for her grow as I walked out and to my and Max’s chamber, there I locked the door, putting a small spell on it. It was to make the room sound proof and unable to open without me touching the door. I looked at my golden mirror and walked over to it touching it softly as a soft humming sound came from it, the glass rippled like water as a soft voice came through. 

“So is she awake now?”

“Yes, she is awake and just like you said her eyes have changed, she is the one to fulfill the spell and the prophecy.”

“Good… Good… Now We need her heart before she finds a second chance or she chooses her mate. BUT it must be after she is crowned. That way her pureblood and her virtue can be activated.” The voice was masked so it sounded like water talking to me as I  growled. 

“No that is not the deal! You told me you needed her heart and I'm about to get it for you! You said nothing of making her Queen. I’m to be Queen!! ME!” 

“SILENCE YOU CHILD! DON’T FORGET WHO YOU TALK TO! I CAN END YOU IN  SNAP IF I WANTED TO! YOU WILL BE QUEEN… WHEN I CHOOSE FOR YOU TO BE QUEEN.” 

I  felt my heart beginning to squeeze as I gasped and landed on the floor, my breath catching in my throat as the mirror was yelling at me. “P-P-Please… S-s-stop.” I begged as I gasped again looking around feeling my vision come in and out. I looked at the mirror as I cried even more, “I promise I will wait!!!” I screamed. Then it stopped, the pain was gone and relief came over me as I gasped for air. 

“Good.. Now be a good little pup and be the best mate and sister you can be.” Then the voice was gone and the mirror was back to normal. I fell on the furs on my bed and I cried softly, the pain in my heart was subsiding. But the mirror was right, I had to wait, I had to play my role to get what I deserve.

*Izzy* 

I was awake and I was looking at my brother, tears started to fall on my cheeks as he came over and hugged after his mate left the room. “Max! Oh Max!” I cried as I looked over his shoulder seeing my parents where looking at me, my mothers hands were over her mouth as she started crying and ran over hugging me with my brother and my father looked at me and smiled. “Hello my darling.” He said as he came over and hugged all of us. I felt so much love and warmth in my heart as I giggled looking at them. “I love you both.” I said as I looked at them and they smiled and my mother kissed my cheek. “Izzy my dear, now it is time for you to rest, tomorrow the pack healer is going to check on your wolf, your eyes are different and it is worrisome to us.” My jaw dropped as I looked at them and looked around for a mirror not finding one I sat on the bed. “Two different eye colors? Mother are you-” 

“Yes I’m sure, now please rest and let us handle it.” 

I nod as I lay down facing the stone wall of the chamber as I sighed softly touching the wall and letting sleep take me. This was all too much, what if I am cursing! What is my dream with the Goddess was a curse.  But before I knew it darkness took me again and I feel right back to sleep.
