The Broken

Chapter 5: The Future

I stepped into my bathroom and sighed as I kept thinking about how to act and to make sure I behave but I felt like the first time I met them, they didn't seem to like me much. I got into the bath wondering how it will go and if they will treat me with respect I know his Brothers are nice but his Sister doesn't seem to like me. I washed and shaved and got out after relaxing awhile, and did my hair and makeup, I left my hair down and curled it and put some light make up on. She stared at herself looking at her eyes and shook her head and walked away, I still questioned why I was so different, I grabbed the red dress that was slim and fit me perfectly, it surrounded my curves and was magnificent looking. I grabbed my shoes and put them on and started to leave my room and head downstairs, as I was about to step down the stairs I heard the knock at the door.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

I held my breath as the Butler opened the door and in came my Masters family.

"Ombre! its such a delight to see such a beautiful girl, cant believe my own brother left you here all on your own." Anakin smiled and hugged me tightly and released me.

I let out the breath I was holding and smiled at him "Thank you all for coming, I wish my Master could have been here but, as you know he is off dealing with..." I stopped and hesitated and looked down at my hands.

Adera moved past her parents and looked at me "with Wolves, but yet he has you for a mate, by the way how's he treating you?" She sneered at me like I was the plague.

I could feel the tension in the room, anger flashed on my face for the insult she gave me, but I pushed it down and smiled at her "Madam, with all do respect not all Wolves are bad, most of us have kind hearts just have been led astray by..." I hesitated and smiled "unworthy leaders." I looked her up and down and gave her a people like you look.

She scoffed "How dare you, are you implying that I am not a good leader." She huffed and turned to her Brothers and Parents for help, no one budged.

"No dear, not at all, all I am saying is it takes a kind leader and the right leader to lead. Like Master Lambereth, for instance he has his tendencies to be kind and ruthless like any leader should be." I smiled and started to walk.

She looked at me and started to open her mouth when the Butler walked in "Dinner is served Ma'am." He bowed and moved to the side.

"Thank you, now I am sure everyone is hungry, please follow me and lets put our differences to the side, or I may fear that Master Lambereth will be entirely insulted if we talked such matters, I only wish to get to know you all." With that I started to walked into the dining room and started to sit where Master makes me sit when Eragon pulled my arm to the head of the table and pulled the seat out for me. I hesitated and looked at him.

"Without your Mate you are the head of the household so you belong in this seat till he returns." I nodded and sat down and smiled, everyone took there seat and the meals where placed in front of everyone. I started to eat when the King looked at me and smiled.

"Ombre, did you go to school when you lived with your pack?" He smiled at me and watched me very carefully.

I froze and set my food down and looked at him "No, my Father never let me out for much I had someone come and teach me but it was mostly my Brothers, my Father didn't want me to run or anything." I looked at my plate as memories started to crash.

"What pack where you in, Dear?" The Queen looked at me with calmness and something else I couldn't read on her face.

I sat there for a second and thought about what to say to them when I decided the truth will set me free "King Uzziah's Pack." I quickly took a bite without looking at them not wanting to see the judgment on there faces.

"Your King Uzziah's daughter!" Adera stared at me with anger as she nearly spilt her drink jumping out of her chair.

"Adera!" I heard his voice behind me, I could hear the anger in his voice as my Master walked in and stood in front of Adera. "Sit down!" Adera sat real quick and grumbled under her breath.

I stood up to move but he walked over and pushed me back down in the chair "I was hoping this would have gone better but obviously, my own Sister has no respect for my mate." He growled and his eyes went red as a stared at her "My mate on the other hand as I heard has handled herself very well, but my own Sister disrespects her and in return disrespects me." He growled

"Do you even know whos pack she is from?" His Mother the Queen looked at him with shock on her face.

"Valencia! silence, that's his mate. Besides I am sure he has an explanation." The King looked at him and smiled as if pressing him to explain.

"I saw her running from her Father, King Uzziah and his people where chasing her. She entered our border, I was planning on killing her but I couldn't it was like there was a pull, she's different and I accept that she's my mate, I accept that I am stuck with her whether I like it or not. I wasn't kind in the beginning and I apologize to my mate but I wasn't sure how I felt and now knowing what it feels like to be away from her, I accept her and don't wanna live without her. She is MINE!" with that everyone looked at me but i kept my head down and continued to eat like nothing was happening.

"I don't accept her! Her kind killed your first mate my bestfriend..." Tears sprang to Adera's eyes.

I froze and stopped eating, I looked at her and frowned "My kind would never hurt your kind, I am the Queen of White Wolves and I know who we are and we are not murderers. We are kind and honest and only protect our own from the stories I have been told my mates first wife was killed by a Wolf not a White Wolf. My people suffer everyday you suffered once.." Tears sprang to my eyes and I stood "My people are not monsters and with all do respect, what makes you all any better than us." With that I stormed out of the room tears in my eyes.

I stormed outside and shifted into my wolf and ran as fast as I could up the hill on our property and sat under the tree tears falling. Why am I so different, my wolf howled in pain as if for the first time she was awake and strong, for once I was healed and not broken.

*Ombre, we cant keep going, how much pain can we take, while our people suffer.* My wolf howled in pain as tears left her eyes I watched as my own heart broke.

*Princess, we only have to suffer till we take back our people, and we cant do it without our mate.* We laid there without a word and next thing I knew we where sleeping.

I woke up Startled by branch hitting me from the tree on the hill, I shifted back to my form and rubbed my head, and realized it was almost nightfall. I cursed and stood up and shifted back and ran back to the house and the minute I hit the deck I shifted and found a robe set out for me, I grabbed it and put it on before taking a deep breath and walking in.

I walked in and it was quiet fear it me and I was afraid Master would attack me or hurt me, I slowly walked to the stairs and ran up and went to my bedroom. I stopped at the door and smelled him, I slowly opened my door and found him sitting on my bed talking to Myles and Algida. I stepped in and they went quiet and watched me I slowly went over to grab my nightgown that was laying next to my mate and grabbed it and went straight into my bathroom. I stepped in and closed the door sighing knowing I have done something, they didn't even budge or come after me or hit me, I was afraid of what was to come. I started the bath and climbed in and laid there relaxing in lavender trying to keep my thoughts away as I drifted to sleep.

"Ombre?" I heard my mates voice and shot up and saw him standing at the door with Myles and Algida behind them.

I quickly grabbed a towel and covered myself up. "Yes, Master?" I stood with my head bowed and was afraid of what he was going to do to me.

He watched me submit "are you...Hurry up and get dressed." He closed the door and I was left standing there in shock.

I hurried and brushed my teeth, hair, and got dressed. I walked out and saw them standing there waiting for me.

"Ombre, I wanted to know if your okay?" Master looked at me for what seemed like sympathy in his eyes.

I nodded my head and went to my bed and laid down I heard the door open and than close, I assumed they all left but found that I still felt eyes on me. I sat up and saw that Master Lambereth was still here I watched him as he removed his shirt and came and laid next to me. He pulled me down and close to him and laid there with me.

He cleared his throat "I know I have been cruel, Ombre but for my sake understand why." with that I laid there without responding closing my eyes and letting the darkness take me.

I woke to find Lambereth watching me, I looked at him and sat up, wondering why all of a sudden he was acting different towards me.

"With all do respect Master" I cleared my throat and looked down at my hand "Why are you all of a sudden acting different towards me, do you need me to do anything, are you playing a prank on me. Did something happen that I can be of use to?" I cleared my throat and didn't look up at him I just sat there waiting for him to lash out at me.

Lambereth looked at her and watched her amused on how submissive she was, he started to laugh as he also realized he was caught.

Ombre, watched him as he laughed, she stood up slowly and backed away.

Master Lambereth stood up and sneered at her "Look her little girl, I don't know why your kind are trying to take over but I will not except defeat." He walked to my closet and through some clothes at me "Put it and get your little a** to the car. Do I make myself clear." He growled and stormed out of the room.

I froze and stared at the door for awhile and than decided to take a quick shower and do my hair and make up. I got out and worked on my hair and brushed my teeth and put some light makeup on. I stuck the black yoga pants he gave me and the crop top he handed to me I stuck my thong and bra on and than grabbed my tennis shoes and walked down stairs and went straight to the car, where I found him waiting for me. I got into the car and sat there, nerves going everywhere. I didn't know what I did, if I did anything, I decided to build up courage and ask him what I did.

"Master?" He turned and looked at me "did I do something wrong to upset you? one minute your nice to me the next your, cruel to me." I frowned and look down at my fingers as if I was going to be hit.

He sighed "Look Ombre, you did offend me. We are going to your Fathers.."

"He's not my Father!" I crossed my arms and looked away from him, anger spreading through my body.

He cleared his throat and growled "King Uzziah's to find out if we can talk him out of this and maybe for once you can be of use and help us." I started to laugh at him without thinking.

"Forgive me, but wasn't it you, Myles and Algida, who said I would be no help, and you had no use for me?" I stared at him with disbelief.

*How can he toy with our emotions, has he nay shame!*

My wolf screamed and anger flashed through her, I tried to keep her at bay but I knew my eyes had changed to a purple and pink color showing that my Wolf was surfacing, I turned away from him afraid he would get mad and tried to relax myself and my Wolf.

*Don't upset him, Princess, I don't wanna deal with the consequences*

After that she let out a sigh and I stuck my wall back up to block her, I looked at my Master, who stared at me with red eyes on alert thinking I was gonna attack from the looks of it, he also didn't seem happy with what just happened.

"Little one, the next time I see or think your about to attack me, I will beat you to death, do I make myself clear?" He didn't wait for a response before talking again "Besides you will help us break an alliance with the King or turn his people against him, either one works. If you can do that I'll trust you." With that the limo came to a stop at a huge palace where cars where showing up and Wolves, Vampires, Witches, Warlocks, Humans even where here, every magical creature was here.

I froze and grabbed Master by the arm and pulled him back in the car, he turned and snarled at me. I ignored it and frowned "I can't do this, there's to many people, what if I mess up. What if they don't like me, look at me I am different and not ordinary or belong anywhere not even to the White Wolves and I am Queen of them. How is someone as ugly as me supposed to convince everyone to be on our side?" With that a tear fled from my eyes as I stared at my hands.

He stared at me and frowned, he grabbed my chin gently and smiled while wiping my tear away "You are not ugly, yes you are different but I believe you can make a difference. Ombre, you are lovely inside and out and even I wish I could be like you, honestly just be yourself and everyone will fall in love with you. I know you wont let me down." With that exited the car and held his hand out to me I grabbed it and we walked in.

Everyone was in casual clothing except for my Master of course, he always wore some type of suit to show that he is more powerful than anyone here. I felt under dressed next to him, but kept my head down and followed him to the King seats where he took his and sat me down in the Queens seat. After everyone quieted down and noticed the King was in place and was waiting for them to silence themselves, he stood and looked out towards everyone a cold look on his face.

"My dear people, there are rumors that some of you may be thinking of going against my people and my family." He looked around the room "I would like to know what we have done to deserve this, when we have given every single one of you a run of your own territory. Here today I will hear all the Kings and anyone else who has an issue speak up and I will hear them out with no consequences to your actions." With that he sat down and waited.

I saw my Father stand from his table and look around "I believe it is time for a new Heir, a new Kingdom needs to be born, I am sick of being led by blood sucking monsters who turn around and blame us for his first mates death. I speak for all the Wolves and I say we have had enough with you killing us off for one Wolfs mistake and I believe I should be the one to take over!" With that all the Wolves accept for the White Wolves shouted.

I clenched my fist and stood up, everyone in the room went quiet "I am Ombre Valencia Delacour, Daughter of this foolish man and Queen of White Wolves." I stared out at everyone

My Father laughed "What have you got to say, Ombre a woman who betrayed her own kind for a Vampire, you are no Daughter of mine." he glared at me.

I laughed "Oh dear Father I am not the one who betrays you but your own Goddess matched me with the blood sucking monster you fear so much" I smiled at him.

"You where always ungrateful girl, you never mounted to anything, you are nothing without him!" He laughed along with others.

I smiled "That's where you are wrong, I am not just some ordinary girl, I am not nothing! I am Queen Ombre Valencia Delacour or did you forget that I became Queen of the White Wolves when I met my mate?" as I said that a bright light escaped me and next thing I knew, I was in all white that sparkled and shined bright.

Everyone covered there eyes as the light was bright, I saw the White Wolves stand and bow to me. Tears in there eyes as if they have been waiting for me.

My Father yelled "How dare you!" He started to charge at me but before he could get to my I stretched my hand out and he flew back and hit the wall "HOW DARE I?" I laughed menacingly "All my life I have been treated with disrespect, and you say how dare I?" I growled "I Ombre, Queen of White Wolves and mate to the King of all Creatures, the most powerful Wolf in existence banish you and anyone else who follows you to never return or if you do, I will kill you!" I growled and watched my Father back up and glare at me.

"You silly little girl, just like your filthy Mother! You never will survive there is always someone stronger than you!" He growled "Also, your filthy Mother tried to beg me for her life and look what happened to her, where is she Ombre?" He laughed

I felt something build up inside of me, that I have never felt before and stepped towards my Father so fast I didn't realize what I was doing till it was to late. I grabbed him by the throat and was suffocating him, when I felt someone grab my wrist "Ombre, let go, this isn't you!" his voice was so soothing and caring that I released my Father and turned to walk away. 

"LEAVE! and take anyone who follows you, with you. I never wanna see or hear your name again." I walked back up to the Queens seat and sat down.  

Master Lambereth smiled and followed me "You heard my Queen!" with that he signaled to the guards and anyone who stood to follow my Father left with him, I saw that my Father tried to get my Step-Mother to follow him but she refused and stayed with my Half-Sisters and Step-Brothers. My Father turned and glared at me before storming off. 

Master Lambereth smiled and stood "I Prince Lambereth will see to that everyone of our people is well taken care of and believe that we all should come together and band together against the dark and evil that fights against us. I have to thank my beautiful mate for showing me that if we don't stand together we are nothing, I also, apologize to her people and all the Wolves for taking my hate out on them. But I am grateful to have such an amazing Queen by my side and will soon marry her, that is if she can take a broken Prince and soon to be King." With that he turned and knelt and presented a ring that was the most beautiful thing she she has ever seen it was so elegant and had black diamonds, my heart sank and I accepted his offer knowing that this was going to be a new beginning of my adventure. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day came when I was planning for the wedding while, Prince Lambereth helped settle different creatures in our Kingdom. I looked at Jenaveive and Vanadeen, who seemed to have gotten along pretty well and became my dearest best friends. 

"Your Majesty, what color did you want the napkins to be?" I shook my head and looked at my choices and smiled at Maria.

"The red will do, please its a beautiful color." I watched as all the preparations where being made and began to get inside my head realizing if I became Queen to a Vampire how will we have a successor. I frowned and started to panic, so I stood up and headed outside to get some air, I started to pace back and forth to the point I collided right into Prince Lambereth.

"I am so sorry, I should have watched where I was going." I tried to smile at him, which I am sure it didn't reach my eyes. 

He looked at me with a hesitant look and frowned "What's wrong? your not having second thoughts are you?" He grabbed me gently and made me look at him. 

"No of course not, but how will this work, how will we have a successor? have you heard of a Wolf and a Vampire having a child together?" I frowned and looked away "I always thought I would have kids, I always wanted to be able to have a few kids." a tear escaped and fell down my cheek. 

"Ombre, I didn't think about that but I feel the Goddess has blessed us and will show us our way, if that means we have to adopt so be it, if that means we have to have no successor than so be it. As long as I have you its enough, if you want your own kids and don't believe miracles can happen than its okay if you have to cancel and find a new mate. I understand." His voice cracked a bit at the end. 

I looked up horrified "I would never leave you, and your right the Goddess has something in store for us I can feel it." I leaned in and kissed him and smiled. "I should probably get back to helping with the wedding plans I am sure my Step-Mom and your Mother will try to come and find me and put me on blast." We both laughed as I walked inside the house feeling better and went straight to helping with wedding plans.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After planning the wedding and getting everything ready I went to my room and collapsed exhausted from the day I decided to take a hot bath and relax my muscles and than head to bed. 

*Tomorrows the day Ombre! are you excited to marry our mate?* 

I heard princess speak as I was getting in the bathtub and smiled

*Yes, very excited. I can't believe after all him and I went through I finally won him over.*

Princess sighed *I never thought he would except us, Ombre. I thought we where nothing to him, but for some reason, I feel he has his reasons and motives for treating us the way he did. Maybe we remind him of his ex mate*

I thought about it for a second before responding to my Wolf *I suppose so, I mean maybe or maybe he was seeing if we where to weak to be Queen, maybe he was testing us?*

I felt my Wolf stir uncomfortable *Either way Ombre, maybe we need to find out, whatever the reason is we need to know* With that Princess went and laid down as I put my walls back up thinking about what Princess said to me. 

I grabbed a towel and got out of the bathtub and opened the door to my bedroom where I found my mate laying on my bed watching the tv. "Just the man I needed to talk to." I smiled at him and walked over to him as he muted the tv and sat with his feet over the edge so I could sit on his lap. 

I kissed him and smiled at him "What does my Queen need to ask me?" He smiled back at me and looked at me with a longing for love and desire and something else I couldn't put my finger on it. 

I hesitated and stood up to pace around and decided just to be blunt "Why where you cruel to me in the beginning?" I stopped and stood there looking at my feet not wanting to look up and see his face.

He stood up and grabbed my chin and looked at me "Because I wanted to see how strong you really where and bring out your Queen side. After you spoke about your Father taking your Kingdom I met your Step-Brothers at the border of our territories and they told me the only way for it to be fully broken is for you to take back your kingdom and announce it and you had to be ready for the consequences." He stopped and looked down.

"But you where cruel when you first met me before you knew who I was." I watched him as a look of pain crossed his face.

"I was cruel in the beginning because you reminded me of my ex mate, you are so much like her obviously looks where different but your personalities are the same. Also, I was still grieving and was angry that the Goddess would make a Wolf my mate after what happened with my first mate." He turned away from me not daring to look at me. 

I smiled and grabbed his face with both of mine and kissed him, it started out gentle and than became more rough and next thing I know we started to rip each others clothes off. That night we made love and I realized everything would change, I finally found someone to love me and cherish me. Someone who would never let me go. Tomorrow we will marry and become the King and the Queen and our future has been set for us.
