“I wish there was some way I could thank you for your sweet words .”I responded smiling brightly up at him , for once I actually felt like I had an older brother looking out for me and it felt amazing.
“A hug will suffice!”He suggested with a cheeky grin.
A low menacing growl came from behind us and I saw Austin glaring at Lucas, the look on his face was deadly , almost as if he wanted to attack his own brother.
She had eyes the color of grass on it’s brownest days and short shoulder length brunette hair that framed her face nicely, she was dressed in a high neck short black dress with a slit that showed of her long legs, it pained me to admit it but she was beautiful to say the least.
This time there was no mistaking that it was a growl I had heard coming from him ,nothing was making sense to me ,never before had I heard anyone in my entire life growl like that and believe me I’ve been around a lot of people before .
“”Wow there brother,just be grateful it was me asking her for a hug and not any of the men staring at her right now.”
“Austin!”Ariana almost shouted, trying to get his attention, she seemed shocked at his reaction to Lucas asking me for a hug.
It did work however, he seemed in control of himself once again as his glare was now focused on me. I gave him a perplexed look. What exactly did I do?
His eyes moved from me to scan the room and a scowl formed on his face.I followed his gaze and noticed a few faces were looking in my direction ,all mostly men.
A muscle ticked in his jaw and it seemed as though he was fighting to control himself.
“Where is my father?”Ariana asked.
“I think I said something that upset him, you should go check on him .”Lucas confessed with a smile, it was clear as day he didn’t like her and that confused me , why would he prefer to be kind to me when it was her his brother preferred ?
Her eyes flashed .”What did you say?”
“Ask him.”
“Lucas.”Austin said his name in a warning tone , not pleased with his brother’s behavior .
Ariana rolled her eyes and linked her arms through Austin’s.”Let’s go find my father.”
My eyes rested on where there skin touched and again just like before I heard the voice in my head, this time it all but screamed ‘mine’.
It hurt, it hurt like hell to see him so close to another woman, especially when the woman was her.I still didn’t understand why it did however, how could I already have feelings for someone I had just met?The emotions were already so strong , like if I had known Austin my entire life and that was simply absurd since I’d never met the prince before , I was certain of it, he had the type of face one couldn’t help but remember.
Unable to see anymore of it , I quietly excused myself and walked into the palace’s garden , wanting to get some fresh air to clear my head, away from everyone and especially away from Austin and Ariana.
for the first time since I reached here I begun to miss home , even though I was mistreated back there ,I still knew almost everyone and I didn’t have to worry about a husband who didn’t want anything to do with me. I felt like a complete stranger here , the only thing giving me courage was how nice Austin’s family was to me.

I was experiencing a new kind of pain at this palace and it was becoming almost unbearable.
A sound from the woods suddenly caught my attention and against my better judgement I inched closer to get a better view.
“Is anyone here?”
I walked a little further ,my feet coming to an immediate stop when I heard a soft growl.My eyes widened as they settled upon a huge brown wolf .It looked angry or hungry, I wasn’t sure at the moment.But either one wasn’t a good sign for me.
I slowly begun to move backwards but that seemed to make it more angry as the ferocious growling only got much louder.
My hands flew to my mouth to stop the scream that threatened to escape, I feared any noise would make the damn thing attack much faster.
I looked around me frantically , hoping to find something that could possibly help me in this situation.I felt the sweat build up on my forehead as I listened to my own racing heart beat while the wolf stealthily approached me.
My heart dropped in defeat as I realized this might be it for me , there was no way I could survive an attack like this from something as huge and vicious as this wolf.
The wolf snarled at me ,preparing itself to attack as its eyes focused on me, it launched forward and I let out a frightened cry.
This was it.
Suddenly, a loud howl rippled through the air ,all the hairs on my body stood up at the power that radiated from the sound.Out of nowhere a huge jet black wolf jumped in front of me and barreled into the other wolf,I watched in horror as they both tackled each other .
What the hell was happening ?
If I thought the other wolf was huge before, I was definitely wrong, for this one was even bigger, much more magnificent.Almost beautiful; how could I think of something so dangerous as beautiful?That didn’t make any sense to me, then again, nothing made sense to me ever since I arrived at this place.
I watched in fear as I saw the two step back and start to go around in circles, growling at each other; it wouldn’t be long before one attacked the other again.
Out of nowhere, two other wolves joined the fight, it seemed as though they were on the side of the black wolf as the three of them begun to corner the lone wolf , he started to slowly retreat,obviously realizing he was outnumbered ,not that he could have won a fight against the black wolf .He eventually jumped over one of the wolves and ran off into the woods, the others chasing after him.
The black one stayed behind as he slowly started to approach me.My eyes widened in shock, was it about to attack as well?for some reason I wasn’t scared of this one , which was insane , this one was so much more dangerous than the other in terms of strength.
He watched me with alert eyes , almost as if he was scared I’d run off ,it felt like he was trying to speak to me ,trying to tell me that I was safe with him .
It was official , I was going insane.
