1412 Words
"Dad we need to have a talk, a serious talk."
"About what Clara? I am busy with all everything that is going on and trying to find a way to stop Felix." Matthew states with a raised voice to his daughter.
"It's time we had a father/daughter chit chat about what is happening with me for a change and not about the pack. I have questions that you keep avoiding and if you do not sit down and talk to me I will go elsewhere and find the answers to my questions! After all you do not seem to really care what I have to say since you keep blowing me off unless it's about business." she says. Clara has a loud booming voice and wants to be heard by her father, a true alpha and queen she is by all rights. And she wants her father to stop and hear what she has to say now.
"Later Clara I do not have time for any of your pettiness, now get out of the office unless you have something for me about Alpha Felix, UNDERSTOOD?" He yells at her.
"FINE! I will go ask the workers, guards, chefs, and everyone else around here since you refuse to give me the time of day." She stomps off out of the office and down the hallway.
"Clara he's your father you should not have talked to him like that, but I get it he ignores anything you have to ask about your mom and family." Lydia says in her mind and telling her she needs a run which Clara agrees to letting off some steam would be good. Lydia does not like the king at all she has an easy feeling about him and can't seem to shake the feeling, he's not right.
"Princess where are you going may I ask?" one of her personal guards asked her.
"Going to let Lydia out we need to run. You both want to come with?"
"Hell yeah we do! We need to let our wolves out too and it seems to been too long, as they are getting antsy!" both her personal guards exclaimed excitedly in unison.
All three got to the edge of the woods and undressed so that they would not rip their clothes and have something to put back on when done. They started to run and jumping around, climbing trees and jumping down then changed into their wolves mid air and took off running faster than they ever could.
"Princess, why are you running like you want to become a rogue?" One of them ask.
"I demanded dad and I sit down to have a talk about who and what I am and if I have other family members or not. He simply refuses to talk to me as usual but it's a conversation that is long past due and he owes me that much. I have no friends except you guys but only because you all are forced to be my personal guards ever since I can was little and we are around the same age right?"
"Yeah it is time he tells you that information since he is your father, but I wouldn't count on it too much as he can be an asshole about family matters. You may have to figure out who to get your information from, and it won't be us so get that thought out of your pretty little head Clara."
"You two are a complete mess you know that?"
"What you just know are figuring this out? Geez Clara it took you long enough." They both are laughing and howling at the same time in both forms of human and wolf.
They continue their taunting each other while running until they come to a river where they would come swing when they were little and in their teen years. Now they are grown and doing more pack business and training they haven't had time to come. On there way back to the castle they encountered some rogues off in the distance so they all three masked their scents and took off running once again. This time they climbed the trees after turning back into their lycan forms. Moving from tree limb to tree limb they moved closer to the rogues to listen on their conversations.
"You need to find her now, I know she is here in the forest with those two idiots of guards!" the elder yells.
"We were not able to find her scent sir, it disappears four clicks west of here." second rogue advised.
"Look for them all, kill the two guards and take her and tie her up. If she fights you kill her, her father won't miss her at all."
"Yes sir, men spread out we need her by sundown and it sets in three hours."
The three look at each other mind linking her father and Xavior, there are fifteen rogues looking the three of them and willing to kill them. And that to kill the princess if she fights after all her father won't miss her. Clara could not believe her ears what she heard the rogues said about her only family she knew she had.
Their warriors come out looking for the rogues found fifteen of them and took them out including their leader but kept him alive for questioning. They put him one of their cells to interrogate later on the next day but now everyone was ordered to return home and to the kings office.
"What incarnation were you doing out in the forest Clara?" her father screams at her making her jump.
"Really you're going to just sit there and scream at me for letting my wolf out to run? I had my private guards and when we saw the rogues we let out our lycans, hid our scents, which had been hidden the whole time, and climbed the trees to get a closer look and inform the warriors. And this (she is waving her arms) is what I, we all get? You screaming at us? You want to know why I went out there? Because of you father, because of you!"
She turns around running out the door down towards her room when she reached her room she went in slamming the door shut crying her eyes out. At this very moment she hated her father more than anything right now. She went to the shower got in to calm herself down when she got out of the shower, she called Keelie the only friend she actually had.
"Hey I need to ask a favor, what do you know about my family? I need answers fast please. Father is refusing to tell me anything and being a jerk."
"You need to talk to mom, she's in the kitchen."
"Thanks I'll get dressed and go seek her out. Thanks Keelie I appreciate it."
They said their good byes and she went the kitchen to see if she could Mrs. Christian, Keelie's mother. She found Mr. Christian standing by his mate so she was able to talk to both of them.
"Hey guys how are you doing?' she asks them with a shaky voice.
"We are good Clara, what brings you down here?"
"I have questions about my family and Keelie told me to ask you Mrs. Christian. Can you please tell me about them? Father is refusing to give me information and I am way past the age of being curious. I need to know."
"Yes it is past time, Keelie just texted us lettings know that you have been asking questions with no answers and we will give them to you dear. But let's get the food out for lunch and we will go have a talk where it's more private."
"Great I will help you with the food."
"No, sit eat you are going to need your strength now more than ever before. We will talk once lunch is served and you have finished eating."
"Yes, ma'am, I will eat then we talk."
She started to eat her lunch and was getting excited about learning who she was and who her family was or is if any are alive. She knew then her father did not want her as a daughter and did not care for her too much since he refused to tell her anything about family and only wants to groom her for the thrown. She is loathing him now.
