Fight or Flight

King’s Decree

I had no choice I swear I had no choice the king has ordered many people to search for the Royal’s Family Tree. I place the scissors near his crouch separating the blades. OK OK! The King swears a royal survived his Decree was to search for the book and if by chance the royal was discovered to kill’em. I narrow my eyes at him “Why dose the “King” want this supposed surviving royal dead?” Beads of sweat ran down his face “I....uh.......I honestly don’t know other than the royal has a rightful claim to the thrown... it’s their birth right.” You act like you have no idea if this surviving royal is male or female. He audibly gulped that’s because we don’t.... the baby disappeared immediately after birth as the King seized the thrown. Either way the rightful heir has the rightful claim for the throne along with the strength to forcefully take it. I look at the man completely confused at this point which thankfully he read into. See most of our kind are already abnormally strong but beta’s Gamma’s and Alpha’s tend to have a extra large amount of strength oh and Omega’s now they have some serious strength but combing it with cunning and man that’s some deadly warriors. That’s why if an omega is miss treated that said omega is swarmed by several others to compensate with said omega’s strength and cunning. So your literally admitting that the present ruler used this tactic to siege the throne then to take it a step further ordered that exact day for the original family to be butchered so no one could relinquish the crown from him.... am I right? The man takes a minute thinking about what I just asked then his face changed to one of sorrow “Oh God... I swear I never knew and I would never do that to them nor do they deserve such a cruel fate.”

Tears began streaming down his face and at that moment I sighed releasing my grip from him realizing that I couldn’t kill him as he had my family at least not without the possibility of guilt eating away at me. I raise to my feet turning my back to him placing the scissors on a small end table near dad’s favorite recliner. Leave before I change my mind and don’t ever let me see your face again or else the next we meet I’ll show you as much mercy as you showed my parents, understand? I could hear the man as he quickly raises to his knees. If you are the missing royal I swear to pledge my services along with loyalties to you M’lady. I turn to see him on his knees bowing to me “And what makes you have a sliver of an thought that I could be?” He lifts his head “Well ma’am if you and your mate wouldn’t mind could I possibly see your wolf?”

I place a hand over William’s chest stopping him from advancing curious as to why he’d ask that. Why? He smiles I mean no Ill will M’lady but the Royals had a pure bloodline with...well with a highly special coat of fur which obviously is past down to each generation of their bloodline even if their mate just so happens not to be a royal their bloodline is dominant over their mates thus passing down such a unique quality. William chimes in “So there’s no Chance of anyone else around the world possessing this unique quality is what your saying?” He nods his head yes “Exactly.” I place my hands on my hips “Now why do I have the feeling if I want to know that I don’t have a choice but to shift.” William nudged me giving me a encouraging smile.

I sigh turning my attention back to the man bowing before me “Look you can honestly stop bowing and I’m not entirely sure how to.... I’m sorta new with all of this.” I pause watching his reaction closely “New like a animal attack you kinda new or your just now discovering this hidden world that you just so happen to be apart of unknowingly.” The second one which is why I don’t know how to control my emotions all that well as of the moment it sorta happened after I was in a wreck and kidn*pped at the accident some how William found me and rescued me. I smiled gazing into his emerald eyes. William grabs one of my hands with his lacing our fingers together stuck in a trance. The man clears his throat “Sorry to break up such a touching moment but I really do need to see your wolf to know for sure and I’ll also help you on opening that monster of a family tree.” I hear William whispering next to my ear “Don’t worry babe I’ll protect you and your family...our family.”

I couldn’t resist the massive grin that stretched for ear to ear with an uncontrollable amount of joy swelling in my chest. Before I attempted to shift I had William and the stranger help me place my parents neatly side by side with a blanket covering them. I shake my limbs to loosen myself up “Ok so what’s next?” This part will be difficult but it can’t be done here oh and before I forget I’m sure there should be a weapon wherever you found that book it’s a weapon constructed immediately once a child is announced within the royal family but only a royal can wield this weapon properly as well as opening that book. He pulled out his phone looking at it for a moment then back at William and I. The next full moon is in a couple of days and the next eclipse is next year so we have until then to sort out who you really are then what is to be done next as far as the King. William steps up shaking his hand in agreement “Meet us in the ancient forest the night of the full moon....there we can train her, deal?”

“Deal....my name is Eric by the way.” I gestured between us as I mentioned our names to Eric “Mine is Leighann and this is William.” With that we parted ways with Eric leaving and us head back to the hidden area in search of the royal family’s weapon..... whatever the hell it may be. I pause in front of the podium staring at my family’s crest hanging from the wall wondering what my life would have been like if my family wasn’t attacked so many years ago. Without braking contact with the tapestry I spoke “How are we to take care of the situation upstairs because I’m not leaving them unattended.” William sighs “Ok we’ll lay them to rest somewhere beautiful just for them and we’ll place a stone with their names along with their birthdays to their day of rest, ok?”
