Chapter 14 When we enter I see Beta Markus, Gamma Garret, and an older looking version of Alena. That must be the other princess. Alena directs me to the seat to the right of the King's. I panic because I am not sure if I am supposed to sit there or if he doesn't want me to. I guess for appearance reasons I should sit there. I glance at Beta Markus and he nods his head slightly. Thankful for the confirmation I sat. "LeeAca, this is my sister Amara. Amara this is Alarick's chosen mate LeeAca." I glance at the woman across from me and give a small smile. I can feel her annoyance and skepticism and it irks me. "It is nice to meet you princess amara." I say and nod. She just huffs and looks away. "Let me at her, I'll show her what a real huff looks like. She will be huffing and puffing all the way to the hospital when I'm done. Fen snaps. Fen. Play nice." I say. "Play nice? PLAY NICE? How about I play nice when we get shown some damn respect. I am tired of people pushing us around and locking us up. Whether we are his CHOSEN mate or not, we will not be disrespected." Her anger radiates through the room as people start to look at me. "FEN CALM THE F*CK DOWN!" I scream at her. Which only makes the aura I am giving off worse. I feel a hand on my arm and look. Beta Markus is holding my arm. "Do you need to get some air Luna?" He asks. I hear a scoff across the table from Amara. "So temperamental. Is THIS really his chosen mate? She doesn't even look like a normal Luna, let alone a Queen Luna. This aside, she can't even control her aura. Why did he choose her? He could have chosen somebody with more self control." After hearing this, Fen is on the verge of taking over and I get up, knock my chair over and walk out of the room running into the King on the way out. He looks questioningly down at me but doesn't say a word. I feel some calm run over me from the brief contact with our shoulders. Which in turn pisses me off again. I ran outside the castle toward the woods. At this point I don't care about border patrol. All I see is red as Fen takes over and we run through the forest. "TIME TO GO HUNTING." She says manically as we pass the border and go into no man's land. Markus's POV Once LeeAca started to release her aura I knew that she was on the verge of losing it. Her aura was a powerful and dark aura and could make any person fall to their knees. We all looked at her and I grabbed her arm to try and get her out of the hole she is digging herself in with negative thoughts. We all have been there. At war with our wolf and ourselves with negative thoughts making our aura seep out accidentally. "Do you need to get some air Luna?" I ask when she looks at me. Then Amara scoffs. Sh*t. She scoffed at me calling her Luna. Then she pushed it saying "So temperamental. Is THIS really his chosen mate? She doesn't even look like a normal Luna, let alone a Queen Luna. This aside, she can't even control her aura. Why did he choose her? He could have chosen somebody with more self control." The next thing I knew, a wave of her aura hit us all in the face as she stood up and walked out of the room. Successfully knocking into Alarick as he is walking in. I raise my head and realize everybody else had their head bowed slightly as well. "What was she doing in here?" He asks, aggravated. "I invited her." Alena says casually. "Why would you do that? When did you even have the chance to figure out who she is? You should have been in your room." He scolds. "I went to the garden before dinner and she was there. We talked and I invited her. I didn't realize she wasn't allowed to eat with us. I just thought she chose not to." Alena answers. That's when Alarick looks towards me with a somewhat guilty expression. I know I had the same look when his frown deepens. We both never asked her to join any type of meal. We never told her about different pack events. We just let her be, thinking that she would figure it out on her own. But what if she didn't show up because she wasn't invited. I know I wouldn't have shown up. Amara chimes in which pisses my wolf Rex off. "What does it matter? Obviously she cannot handle being Luna if she cannot even handle herself in front of us. I hardly even said anything to her and she blew up like that. What will happen if somebody actually says something and she loses it?" Rex growls at Amara, which takes everybody by surprise. Even myself. "What the hell Markus?" Amara asks. while everyone else looks at me questioningly. "Sorry. We're just hungry and want to eat." I made up some lame excuse. "Rex what the hell was that? Why did you just growl at amara? What she said isn't wrong." I ask my wolf. "I don't know. I just feel protective of LeeAca for some reason." He says. Confusing me. "Do you think she is our second chance?" I say dredging the answer. "No, not like a mate protection. Something almost like a deep Luna connection." "I mean she is to be our future Luna, but we should only feel that when she is Luna." "I don't know. I am only telling you what it feels like." He huffs in annoyance. I nod my head. They start to bring in dinner. Everyone was quiet during dinner, not really saying much. When I got up I felt something under my feet and I looked down. There was a brown leather sketchbook. I picked it up and looked at it. It must be LeeAca's. I keep it in my hand as I head to her room to make sure she is alright. When I knocked she didn't answer so I opened the door to put the book on the island. When I did I looked around to see if she was here but I didn't hear anything. The book fell off the island and landed with some pages face up. I went to grab it when I saw some creepy drawings. I picked it up and set it on the counter. Looking through the drawings I saw a couple flowers and some nature scenes, but then I saw a man in surgical gear with a scalpel. I flipped to the next page and saw a surgical table with vials on a small counter next to it. My heart started beating as I looked at the next page and saw a baby with its stomach cut open. I quickly shut the book and focused on my breathing. "What the hell was that?" In Addicted to You movie, Audrey's biggest regret? A one-night stand with Floyd, her secret love for eight years.
