My princess what is going on?, Chloe asks
where have you been?, we have been so worried about you,
Laura says looking relieved
"I am fine both of you, just went for a walk that's all"
"My princess but we are here in a foreign land, what if something happens to you, we sent Chad Out to secretly look for you because it would be quite dangerous if those vagabond's realises that you were not here"
"That,,,,,,,,,em"
Serea began , knowing that they will not be pleased to hear what she had to say
"Why do you look peeled my princess"
Laura was known to be observant
It's just that, I,,I "
Serena tries to say but stuttered
"Spill it"
"I came across some wolves on my way and they do not look pleased at all to see me "
Serena finally laid it down
"My prinesss, what were you thinking?",
"Oh my,what if they decide to eat us for dinner "
Chloe voice of fear cut in
"Oh please,chloe no one's flesh will be eaten especially not mine, though am not sure about yours"
"Stop it you two, now is not the time for this"
Serena says trying to settle their hourly brickering,
Walking in on their talk was Margaret, her fake smile in place
"You",
Margaret says aggressively pointing to Serena
"Peacemaker, follow me"
Where are you taking her to, you can not just leave here without telling us where you are taking the princess to
your highness would like to seek an audience with you
" if you take her we are coming with"
"Is that so,well then, you leave me no choice, GAURDS!!!!"
On Margaret call eight guards barged in
"Hold them down "
Laura was not one to go down without a fight
"Stay back old hag unless you want to get burned, and oh I love they way they born to the ground"
"Chloe , Laura , Dont , I will be back"
"Dont be so sure,peacemaker"
Margaret say walking away with the gaurds ushering Serena behind her
The great hall was all in turmoil, big and powerful men standing around, some sitting down, having discussions in smaller groups, the presence of alphas felt, they stood tall and confident, their beta's not present but all gathered in the smaller hall, they too grumbling among themselves waiting for the king's Beta, their murmuring dies down at the sound of the open door which announced the arrival of William who strolled in confidently, as a form of respect, all the alphas stood up and bows their heads in respect to the alpha king, the alpha of all alphas, William took a seat at the head of the table and with a feature of his hand, the other alphas took their seat, though was the youngest at the gathering was the most feared, for his temper was one not to look out for, his wolf a beast itself.
Being taken to where she knew she would rather not be Serena could see this time the people were much than the previous day, she was no fool to know that they only came to see who the witch was, the earlier day happening already to their ears, ushering her to the front of a big door Serena and her escort stood until they were given the go ahead to go in, Margaret had no right to go in but Serena did, step in into the hall what greeted her was pure silence except the piercing eyes of those present as they all turned at the sound of her foot steps, she could see the curiosity in their eyes , the questions in their stare, their alpha dominance not hard to notice but Serena noticed the fact that among all men present only this one man looked calm like everything was under his control not the least bothered by the bunch of macho men, William had to pretend he was not the least bit affect by her delicious scent just like she had bewitched him, and just like the princess she was and well trained at that Serena gracefully bowed to them as a form of greeting them regardless the fact that they are just bunch of jackass keeping her people captive, that she kept to herself, William was not the only one who could play this game, Serena was also good at it, trying to hide the fact that his gaze made her feel uncomfortable just like he was undressing her, and the thought of the previous day came flowing in, what was she thinking at such a moment that she that her life was left in the hands of such tyrants,
"Have a seat miss peacekeeper, join us"
William watches as this all so proper lady took a seat at the other end of the table which made her opposite him ignoring the other three vacant seats available to seat at the other head of the table, making William frown, this frail woman had no fear for him not being the same for Lucas his wolf making it feel like the more she went against him the happier he becomes,
"Mr, and gentlemen greetings to you all"
The smirk which appeared on William face told her he knew he was the Mr she was referring to, Serena has no idea why she has been so rude to him since they had first met, neither was she afraid of him or the fact that her heart beats fast just at the thought of him being at the same space as she was.
"Like I was saying, the peacekeeper will stay here till the next six months after which she will be sent back with the hostages"
"King alpha, what about our people, what about them"
"I assure you as long as I am king, I will get them back"
William's voice held anger and promise
"We trust you but the one we do not trust is this witch, I am sure she must be a spy for her people, if not what will she have been doing just the second day of her arrival at the no-trespass land",
One of the alpha says as they talked about her like she was not present with them at that moment
"I would suggest we lock her up, I expected her to be locked up in the cell or the dungeon the minute she stepped foot on our land but here she is running freely"
Another put in
William word unable to leave his mouth when Serena's rhythmic voice interrupted,
"My apologies for trespassing but I only went for a walk and with that, for that I am at fault but I will very much appreciate it if you all do not talk about me like I wasn't here and try learning to talk to me politely, yes you might put me in a dungeon or even kill me but do not forget I came here as a peacekeeper, you can kill me if you want, of course, you must well know that is an easy cry for war outbreak",
"What are you trying to say, witch"
"I am saying if I die, you die, your whole clan dies, also call me peacekeepers, do n't forget the fact that I am a peacemaker "
Serena's voice sounded strong and bold but deep down Serena tumbled thinking
"Please I Don't want to die, please do not let them kill me"
