Prologue
70 years....For 70 years Lena and Catherine have been broken hearted for the lost of their beloved mate.
Sky had been gone for 70 years and a lot have change.
Sky's wishes have been granted, the werepeople have been free, they roam the lands of the west freely and the land have grown healthy, no more famine. Although the winters are still longer than summer.
/"So much have change my little pet./" Lena said looking at the beautiful portrait of Sky.
/"So much have change since you have been gone./" She whisper looking at the eyes of Sky, the most beautiful sets of eyes that she have ever seen.
/"Today is yours and my father's 70th death anniversary, and the whole kingdom pay tributes for your bravery, for sacrificing your life./" Lena smiled sadly.
/"That day was very tragic for all of us. I did not just lose you, i also lose my father./" She touches the surface of the portrait.
/"Me and Catherine have missed you so much little pet. We wish that you were here to see the changes i have made for you. I wish you were here to see Shahara when she got married. I scolded those two for ever hiding that they are mates. I was happy to see Cornelia's face when i gave her the blessings, when we gave them the blessings to be married. And now Shahara is pregnant again with their fifth baby./" Lena chuckled a little while shaking her head, just remembering what had happened.
/"We could already have our thirteenth baby if you just stayed./" Lena swallowed the lump in her throat, she's trying not to cry.
/"When we lost you, it's like we lost everything./" Lena placed her forehead against the portrait, Everyday and Everynight she does this, she talks to the portrait and would wish that some kind of miracle would work and bring back Sky to them. The pain was still there in her chest, and she knows that it wouldn't go away until she has Sky again.
/"Lena?/" Lena opened her eyes and looked at Catherine who was leaning against the door.
/"Yes?/" Catherine smiled and walked closer to her, she gave her a kiss on the lips.
/"The meeting is about to start, you need to be there./" Catherine looked up at the portrait and smiled.
/"She looks beautiful. I wish she was here to see this./" The two of them looked at each other, before Lena looked at the portrait, she kissed the portrait before she turns around and stare at Catherine's eyes.
/"We will meet each other again, maybe not now, maybe in another life/" The two of them walked outside the room where the portrait was. Lena took a deep breath and straighten her posture, She's still the same Tyrant Queen, she still rules with an iron fist and there is no exception on her law.
/"Where are the councilmen?/" She asked Catherine.
/"At the throne room./" She nods and headed to the throne room, when she opened the door everyone bowed paying respect to her. The new Councilmen are Lady Ava of Waevlor, Lord David Borington, Lady Catya of Voathniel, Lord Isaac Raevern, he is the cousin of Catherine, and lastly Lady Esmeralda of Erevyns, this is her new councilmen, since the old ones are down in the torture chamber rotting alive. She sat down on her throne.
/"What is this meeting about?/" She asked them, raising her chin, Catherine sat down on the arm of her throne. Lady Catya was the first to speak.
/"The purebloods and the royal bloods are asking. As to when do you plan to have an heir my queen. It is in the family protocols and rules that as soon as you find your mate, you must have an heir, to ensure the continuation of the blood lines, and to ensure the safety of the throne./" Lena's eyes squinted, they have been pestering her with this question.
/"I do not have my mate to carry my child, Catherine can't concive./" She said crossing her legs.
/"But my queen... It is in the protocol. If your mate can't concive then you must lay with a concubine./" Lady Catya said trying to reason with her.
/"Enough, i will not be forced to have an heir. I cannot raise a child yet./" Lady Catya nods her head and bowed, she took a step forward. Next one to speak is lord Isaac.
/"My queen, the problems in the field have already been fixed, the pest have been driven away. By the next month we would have another abundance of grain and wheat./" Lena nods, next to speak was Lord Borington.
/"I came here bearing a bad news my queen. The resistance group have attacked again, killing 30 of our men. Reports of the roaming night hordes being spotted have increased, the Village of Castery have been wiped out by the barbarians./" Lena's fist clench, they never run out of problems. The resistance were a group of vampires that was against her new laws. The night hordes are the remaining ones that didn't get sucked when the portal closed, the Barbarian are group of old vampires that lives in the mountain ranges, they are also pure bloods but because of their barbaric traits, the families never considered them.
/"Send troops to warn the Barbarics. And i trust that you can deal with the resistance./" Lord Borington bows before he took a step back. Next to speak was lady Esmeralda, Lena's eyes bore against her dark green eyes, darker than her own.
/"The trade with the Dairahara continues to be prosper my queen, and soon we will be trading with the land of Algea./" Lena's eyebrow rose.
/"The land of Algea is seven seas away from our land. How did you manage to reach them?/" She asked with kin interest.
/"The Scion of House Saavedrak have volunteered to help us./" She answered, Lena placed her hand under her chin.
/"And the slaves under your roof?/" Esmeralda smiled, Esmeralda was one of the many vampires who refuse to give up their werewolves slaves, and Esmeralda has three young alpha female on her house.
/"They are well taken care of my Queen./" She then bowed and took a step back. This time Ava was the one to speak.
/"My queen. The werewolves are doing a great job at guarding the borders of the land, keeping it safe. Though, i must present to you a very alarming problem. The case of illegal slavery have increased, young werewolves have been captured by poachers and are sold in the red market. This is very alarming my queen./" Lena bit her lower lip, she have heard about this multiple times, but they can't find the red market.
/"I have heard that Cornelia will lead a raid party. When it is?/" She asked uncrossing her legs and standing up.
/"Tomorrow my queen./" Ava replied, she walks down and stood at the center.
/"Inform her that i will accompany her to tomorrow. For now, the meeting is over, keep up with your excellent jobs and do not disappoint me./" After she said that everyone bowed. But suddenly the door have opened, a slave entered looking out of breath and scared.
/"How dare you to interrupt us?!/" Catya shouted. The slave fell down on his knee and bowed
/"Forgive me my queen! But i came here bearing a bad news!/" The slave said with his voice shaking.
/"What it is?/" Catherine asked, the slave looks at them and gulp.
/"Someone have dug the grave of Princess Sky... And stole her body away./" Without any words Lena rushed out of the room and went to the grave of Sky where the big willow tree stands. When she arrive there she saw that the willow tree have been struck down by the lightning and Sky's grave was dug. When she peered inside. All she could see was the coffin
LENA
6 MONTHS LATER
/"I have heard what happened./" She looks at Cornelia as the two of them rode their horses.
/"Everyone did. The news have scattered quickly./" She said sounding irritated, she's been in the bad mood since yesterday because of what happen. And no, she's not just in a bad mood, she's furious as to whoever did this, as to whoever dared to stole Sky's body. She have already killed the guards who were guarding her mate's grave. They are stupid!
/"Where's aunty Catherine?/" Lena looks at the young girl with them, she smiled at Louisa, Cornelia's fourth daughter, she has the looks of Cornelia but she definitely got her other mother's beautiful brown skin.
/"She's handling the problems in the castle and joining the hunt for whoever stole the body of my mate./" She said her eyebrow furrowing.
/"I wish that you could capture the person who did this! He got some guts to this. Was he not afraid of you?/" Louisa said while shaking her head. Lena smiled a little, she knows that
Louisa is a big fan of her, she was basically her role model.
/"Oh we will capture him for sure./" Lena pulled the rein of her horse when they arrive at the place where the illegal poacher is. She look at the place, it was a house of a lord in the village of Mertily. Two cities away from the trade City. The house was big, about two floors. In front of her, about sixteen men kneel on the ground and there are at least ten cages found. On the other side, there was twenty to thirty children, seventeen teenagers both girls and boys. She went down from her horse and walked closer to the children.
/"Are all of them werewolves?/" She asked examining each faces, the scent of fear was too strong coming from them.
/"Bring me my sword, and take this children away. Give them warm milk and warm food./" She said turning her back from them, she grabs her sword from one of the knights and usheated it.
/"Bring me the lord of this house./" The men quickly brought to her a struggling man, he was trying not to get closer to her, resisting. When he was in front of her he just smirk.
/"Kneel./" She said but he didn't. Instead he spits on her face. The Knights that was holding him kicked him the knees causing for it to break, he groaned and fell down on his knee. Lena swipe the spit from her face and smirk.
/"Does this man have a son?/" She asked Cornelia.
/"That man's sons are two of his good poachers, they're the one who have hunt most of this children./" Cornelia explained. She nods her head.
/"Bring them to me./" The knights have brought to her three boys, one of them still looks young. They were brought to her on their knees, and she puts her hand on the youngest nape.
/"How old are you boy?/" She asked, the young boy looks up at her.
/"I...i'm fifteen your majesty./" He answered with his voice shaking, Lena then turned to a girl who was standing and looking at the young boy as if he wants to murder him, she extended her hand and beckoned for her to come closer to her. The young girl hesitated at first but she did anyway.
/"What's your name child?/" She asked leaning a little closer.
/"Daciana./" She answered, her voice was firm and angry.
/"What did this young man do to you? I can smell your anger./" Daciana stared at the young man. She looks up at her.
/"She killed my little brother. He beat him, he broke his fingers and then he drowned him./" Daciana's voice was shaking and her eyes was filled with angry tears.
/"What do you want to do to him?/" Daciana looks at the boy, before she looks at Lena.
/"Can i kill him?/" Lena smirk.
/"How old are you?/" She asked standing straight.
/"I'm twelve my queen./" Lena then grab the dagger from Cornelia's waist and offered it to the girl, Daciana just stared at it and shakes her head.
/"I'd like to kill him, the same way he did to my brother./" Lena was impressed by the child’s bravery. She smiled and ordered the knights to bring the two to somewhere secluded. When the two was gone, she then swings her sword down without any words to the man's second oldest child beheading him.
/"NO!!!! NO!!!!/" He shouted watching as the head of his son rolled down the ground.
/"Bring this man to the torture chamber, cut of his tongue, peel off his nail, cut his dick and feed it to him./" She then stared at the son of the man.
/"And bring his son to Alpha Vixen... I'm sure she'll get his men to rape this rapist./" From the smell of man, she knows that he had raped several of the girls.
/"My queen! My queen!/" One the soldier shouted getting her attention.
/"What it is?/" He looks like he's in a hurry to deliver what ever news he has.
/"We have found a white wolf inside one the cages. I think you should see her./" A white wolf? Lena thought, they hadn't seen one in a very long time. She faced Cornelia and gave her the sword and dagger.
/"I want those children to be brought to their land as soon possible. Their parents must be waiting./" She said, Cornelia nods her head. She then followed the guard into the back of the house, and there she saw another warehouse, as they got closer to eat she could already smell the disgusting smell of rotting flesh, shit and piss.
/"What the hell is this place?/" She asked the soldier.
/"The place is used as a torture place. Several dead bodies were found in the place my queen./" The soldier explain to her, once they have entered the warehouse, she almost gag because of the smell, she covers her nose and looked at the place. There are still a lot of cages, and blood marred the walls.
/"My queen, this way./" She follows him until they have reached the back corner where two several soldier are standing near a cage, that was built perfectly for human size. The two soldier bowed at her before moving aside to give way. She could already see the small and fragile figure inside, naked and shaking. Lena squinted her eyes as she saw the girls hair. It was white she knows it, but too much dirt covers it. She opened the gate and stepped inside the cage, the girl flinch from just hearing her footstep.
She crouched down and examined the girl. Something was oddly familiar about her, and her scent, she knows that it's cinnamon’s. Her heart suddenly beat.
/"Hey, come here./" She said, but the girl didn't move.
/"We won't hurt you. Just let us help./" She extended her hand and slowly touch the girls shoulder.
/"Can i see your face? Please?/" For a minute the girl didn't move. Just as when she thought she wasn't, the girl slowly lift her face and Lena was so shock that she ended up falling down on her butt. She stared at the girl in disbelief, her whole body started to shake as she stared at the young girl.
/"Sky!/" She exclaimed, quite not believing what she saw.
