FINAL DESTINATION

The journey continued ahead.

I was getting tired and exhausted. Most restless from simply seating down at the back of the carriage doing nothing.

After Xaden had saved me, he didn't say a word to me. He ignored me as usual.

It was getting dark and then the horses and carriage came to a stop.

I could hear men coming down from their horses.

I looked out of the window to see where I was.

I saw we were inside large walls. Very large walls. I couldn't see much.

The only way I could was if I stretched my head further out of the window which I didn't consider.

The door of the carriage was flung open and then I saw Erik.

"We've arrived." He said. "Come down."

I came down and saw that I stood in front of a lavish castle.

I was nothing like our own.

The entire walls were made of white.

There were people bustling around the castle walls.

It was cold, but beautiful.

There were no flowers in sight or even trees.

I wondered why.

"Xaden!"

I looked up and saw a beautiful woman with brown hair come down the steps.

She had on male pants and a neck line that showed her cleavage.

Then she threw her arms around him.

I wanted to look away, but my eyes were stuck on them.

Then she let go and the look she gave him was that of a lover's.

"I missed you." She said.

I shifted uncomfortably.

"What happened? You took too long." She asked.

"There was some delay." He said.

Then she turned and noticed me.

She looked me up and down and her face screwed up. I knew she hated me.

"Who is this?" She asked him.

"It's Bale's daughter." Xaden said. "She is going to be staying with us for a while."

Was he going to tell anyone that we married? Bonded.

The energy I got from this woman was as if that of a lover's.

"You brought our enemies daughter?! Here! And alive!" She said in shock.

"No your place Aurora!" He warned at her.

She kept quiet and looked down at her feet.

"I apologize." She said.

He turned away.

Who was she to him?

"Take her down to her cell." Xaden said. "She would be there until it's time for the test of her family bloodline."

My heart stopped.

He had said that he would carry out a test that would alter my blood connectors my father to hinder any communications.

But there was no need.

I was a latent wolf.

The girl walked up to me and sized me.

"Your father killed my family." She said.

There were so many things I was unaware my father had done.

She grabbed my arm and dug her nails in my arm so much it bled.

"Welcome to the crescent pack." She said with a smile. "You haven't seen anything yet. And I promise to make your life a misery."

I turned and saw Erik looking at me and then he turned away, Xaden was already gone ahead.

She dragged me and I looked upwards towards where was going to be my new home for a very long time.

Where I was going to spy on Xaden for my father.
