Chapter 3 Louise POV

58

Returning to my kingdom, I saw everyone taking their route as guards to my estate. I was happy to have seen things progress, yet, to my disadvantage, I had arrived alone with the sole intention of learning anything to help participate in this war. Why did I leave this to my father, who was clearly on board with this relationship that would never fully work? Seeing the castle, I looked ahead to see that Lupe had arrived sooner than me; she didn't look happy to see me, but I wasn't there for her. Passing her, she spoke, 'Queen Louise, Isabella is inside with Irvan; are you sure you wish to be a part of this?' She asked me, which made me stop. I did not see them in the reunion of the neutral grounds, as I believed he was running late, not that he had left back to the castle, 'why are they here?' I asked, annoyed, as if they could do what they wished without my permission. Walking in my wolf form, I entered my room, changing into a silver and gray dress. A maid placed my hair in a French tail, then put it in a bun with gold diamonds to adorn it. My crown was established right after. Getting up, I knew I had to be ready for anything these two might have in store, yet I would never be prepared to witness what was about to be shown.

I consented to give my purity to Leonidas because I swore he had let everything he did in our past stay in our past, yet here I was, broken, unwanted, and unneeded by anyone I had been brought up to depend on. Getting ready, I opened the doors of my room to see a maid standing in front. "My Queen," she bowed, indicating her respects, "the King wishes to see you with his concubine." I furrowed my eyebrows as I replied, "Direct me." We walked to Irvan's tower, where I could hear groaning and moaning, which had left me wanting to leave this forsaken place. Letting out a breath, I hear my guards linking me. 'My Queen, we are in the borders with the Fenrislfr clan, who are trying to enter our lands!' Hearing this while in front of my husband's bed chambers, I replied, 'Keep them to their side if they try anything to attack them. As I answered, I said, "King Irvan, Im here as requested." The doors opened as I linked those around here and the rest of the maids to the bunkers. They left when the doors opened, and I pushed them open to a sight I was not expecting to see: "Irvan!" I shouted as I saw him thrust inside Isabella, who was losing her mind in lust, "What is the meaning of this?" As I closed the doors behind me, I demanded, "This is what I wanted to see." He spoke as he left Isabella's private part to turn her on her hands and knees. He then continued in this pose with her, "Tell me, does seeing us excite you, Louise?" He asked as Isabella started to moan, agreeing with what he was doing. "I refuse to be a part of this. There is an attack on the boarders from the Fenrislfr clan; we had declared war on him, and since you were the ones who sent the Dukes, you are held responsible for why they assaulted me, as they have been hanged in the village near the neutral grounds," This made him speed up his actions as he ejaculated He then spoke to me, trying to catch his breath Isabella fell onto the bed.

I wasn't looking at them directly, but I was staring at Irvan, his disgusting indications of what he believed I was worth and what I meant to him. I would have killed him if it weren't because I knew we needed to keep him alive just until I was of age. Yet this was not going to be tolerated by me; as I felt tears run down my face, Irvan spoke, "Well, then we need a new Duke to take over; who do you recommend, my Queen?" He said it as if we had a bond as if I mattered to him. Feeling my energy rise, he stopped smiling at me and said, "This is how you behave after learning of the deaths of two of your supporters? What kind of devil are you?" I shouted as I couldn't grasp anything he was insinuating, 'My Queen, we have been breached!' A guard linked me, making my choice to remain here less critical: "There's an attack at the border, Irvan. You are to work as a king with my father. My brother will do the new ones to be selected. You have no ruling; once I am of age, I will imprison you! And make you suffer for the hell you have brought upon me!" I turned to leave them behind, as I needed to let my hateful heart shock Irvan at least once, so I let out a spark of electrical current that hit Irvan on his left arm. As he groaned in pain, I walked out of the chambers. As I started to pick up my speed, I realized the village was still trying to move everyone into the bunkers, so I also decided to assist them instead of going and attacking with my guards. I arrived, and I started to help the minors and the mothers with their young ones into the bunkers. I made them as vast as possible, and it would take me a while to have them all go to the respected areas, but I had no fear that my kingdom could defend itself after a long time now that the sun was setting, as I heard from the guards.

"My Queen, those of the Fenrislfr have left us, yet we fear they are to return once again," he said in fear as we started to help those return to their homes. I, too, walked to the borders of my land. "Bring me the Changesites. Place them on each edge of our borders immediately." I requested it, and in no time, the crystals were placed in their respective positions. I stood before this forsaken board, allowing my energy to run its course. As I extended my hands to each side of the crystals, I let my powers leave my body, in which case the crystals began to fill with my energy one by one. They started to connect, having me in the middle of the process until I felt that all of them had been bound and others had come to pass by, but once I felt the connection between them, did my body feel tired? Once I thought the powers were drained from me, I let myself fall backward to where Lupe held me. "I have you, my Queen," she told me, to which I closed my eyes to fall into a deep sleep. As I woke up, I was not alarmed to see my mother by my side with my brother, saying, "Oh, thank goodness you're awake!" My mother shouted, making me feel like a headache had returned when a growl was heard: "Your yelling will harm her Queen Mother." I heard Lupe try to protect me; her presence was well-needed, and my mother's wasn't. I wished for her to leave me alone, but my mind was dizzy from the shouting after my energy had been given to protect my kingdom when I heard Lupe speak once more, "I will remain with our Queen and believe she should not have any visitors for a while, Queen Mother. I believed the neutral grounds required your assistance more than our Queen's kingdom." Lupe told my mother, who in turn growled back at her, "You are not to order me around; I'm her mother, and until she returns to her feet, I will not abandon her." She spoke a bit harshly when I finally moved to the side of Lupe. Leave, mother," was the only word I said to my mother, which I'm sure she hated, for she had abruptly stood from her chair. "You worried me sick only to be told I am not needed?" I did it her way; my head hurt, my body was weak, and to make matters worse, I have not heard of my wolf acting in any way; it felt as if she had left my side. Have I killed my wolf because of what I did? I thought about that as my mother stomped out of my bed chamber.
