EARLIER THAT MORNING OF THE WEDDING
In her freezing cell, Agatha was still in mediation. She was finishing up her magic when she was rudely interrupted by loud clanging and banging of the bars to her cell.
“Who is it?” she thought.
“You go get her,” said the first maid.
“No. You go,” said the second maid.
“Well, I been here first, so you should listen to me.”
“But I am higher rank than you, so you should listen to me.”
“No. That’s not fair.”
Agatha sighed as both of them were going to keep fighting and her food was going to get cold, and she wouldn’t have anything warm to eat.
“Alright then, let’s go together,” said the first maid.
“Okay, but you can’t lie to me,” said the second maid.
“Of course not.”
Both of them open up the cell door and enter. They both gasped as they saw her.
Agatha was dressed in rags. She was so pale and white that the maids were frightened of her. The second maid nearly fainted as she thought Agatha was a ghost.
“She’s not human. She’s dead,” said the first maid.
The second maid was shaking her head to wake herself up.
“Wake up, you stupid! Or I am going to leave you here by yourself,” said the first maid.
The second maid cried, “No. Don’t leave me.”
“I will if you keep acting like that.”
“We can’t leave, remember the king order us to take her.”
Agatha frowned at what they were saying.
“We got to get her ready.”
“Yes. You’re right.”
“Today is her day to be off to.”
“Alright, alright.”
“What do you want?” asked Agatha.
The two maids stare at her in fear.
“I’m sure you’re not here to give me any food,” said Agatha.
“What?” asked the first maid.
“I don’t see any food in your hand.”
“Huh?”
“Well usually the other maids or servants will just toss the food on the floor and run.”
“Oh. Well, we’re not here to feed you.”
“Then what are you here for?”
“Well-”
“Yes?”
“Under the command of the King, you’re to be wedded to King Austin of the Black wolves,” said the second maid.
“What?”
“Yes. You are to be wedded.”
Agatha’s face lit up. She could finally be free from this cell. But wait, what if this is a cruel trick. What if the king is trying to kill her instead. It could be true for he kept her locked her for so many years. Maybe he was tired of her and decided to get rid of her once and for all. She folded her hands together and stayed still. She didn’t move.
“Well come on, we haven’t gotten all day,” said the second maid.
Agatha frowned and didn’t say anything.
“We’re not lying. We got proof that today is indeed you’re wedding.” They had a paper in their hand.
Agatha frowned.
“Here, take it you will see what we’re talking about.”
Agatha took the paper from their hand.
It was indeed an invitation to everyone. On it states her name, Agatha Grey, getting married. And for the whole entire wolf clan from all over the land to come join the celebration as the Grey Wolf King married off his cursed daughter to the alpha of the Black wolves.
“What?” questioned Agatha, as she finished reading it.
“You can read?” asked the first maid.
Agatha’s eyes widened. She had forgotten that she was supposed to be the cursed princess where she was neglected and forgotten. She’s supposed to be illiterate and stupid. “Oh. No. Of course not. I can’t read of course.” She handed the paper back to them.
“Well, do you believe us now?” asked the first maid.
“What?”
“That you’re getting married.”
“What about it?
“Well, if you believe it then please go with us.”
Agatha didn’t say anything.
“Please we got to move you along.”
Agatha frowned at them.
“Prin-Princess, we got to get you ready,” said the second maid.
“Ready?” questioned Agatha.
“Yes. For your wedding.”
“Oh. Of course.” Agatha got up. As she stood up her long black hair drifted over her pale white face. Her blue eyes looked so mysterious and blue that it scared the second maid so much that she fainted.
“Aiya, what happened to you,” asked the first maid.
Agatha lifted her hair from her face and asked, “What’s wrong with her?”
“Nothing. This maid is a chicken.”
“A what?” asked Agatha, leaning over to look at the maid who fainted.
“Will you please wake up!” exclaimed the first maid. She was tapping on her face.
The second maid finally woke up and then she saw Agatha’s white face and her blue eyes that seemed to glow at her, and she gasped with fear and fainted again.
“What! What the heck is the matter with you,” said the first maid.
Agatha stared in confusion.
“Damn it, at this rate we will never get her ready, so get up or the king will have our head.”
After another ten minutes the second maid woke up and said, “Princess, can you please not do that, you are scaring me half to death.”
Agatha tilted her head at her.
As the second maid looked at Agatha, she saw something that she had never noticed before. That Agatha is actually really pretty. “What?” she whispered.
“What is it?” asked the first maid.
“It’s just-It’s just,” the second maid was pointing her finger at Agatha.
“What is it? Did you faint and go to heaven?”
“It’s just that-”
“What? Did you fainted and had a brain fart that you become more stupider?”
The second maid shook her head.
“Good. Then let’s go before we’re late.”
“Okay.”
The second maid got up and they both went out of the cell together.
Agatha followed them out.
As she took a step out of her cell, she had a sudden realization of freedom. For the first time in her life, she was finally going to be free from this cell. She thought to herself should she take a break and run for it. However, she is not fully aware of the world, and she might end up being in trouble if she wasn’t careful. She would have to think of another way.
“Come on, princess,” said the second maid.
Agatha nodded and followed them.
When they got to the room, they dragged her into the room and gave her a bath.
“Oh my god, she smells,” said the first maid.
“Of course, she does. She probably never had a bath before,” said the second maid.
“Oh, I’m sure she does, but not very often.”
When they were scrubbing all the dirt off of her, the second maid said, “Wow, what beautiful white skin you have.”
Agatha stared at her and nodded.
“Princess, you have beautiful blue eyes,” said the first maid.
“Thanks,” said Agatha.
When they got done putting on her make up and dressing her, they both gasped at her beauty.
“Wow, she’s even more beautiful than Princess Juniper,” said the first maid.
Agatha knew that she was far prettier than her sister. She was a beautiful women who have been locked up due to her father’s hatred. Due to his anger, she lived alone her whole life. But thanks to that she was able to hone her own magic. Now, she is the most powerful female wolf ever. There’s only a few that is more powerful than her, but for a mere seventeen year old woman, she’s doing pretty well on her own.
BACK TO PRESENT“How about a poem competition?” asked Prince Brayden. He was still looking at Agatha.“Very well. Very well. It’s been a long time since the great hall has had some laughter. How about Juniper, you start?” asked King Leonardo.“Humph, you two can play that game of looking at each other,” thought Juniper. “But I have my own ways of making you jealous too.”“Make it as interesting as you can,” said King Leonardo. He clapped his hands together.Juniper got up and started the verse of poem with the moon. She then turned to Austin and said, “King Austin, please continue the verse.”Austin got up and recited his poem. His poem of the moon was par with war heroes. Everyone was praising how talented he was. It went around in a circle traveling from those who wanted to verse about the moon.Then it was Brayden’s turned, and his moon poem was full of mystery. Everyone nodded their head as his poetry was quite mysterious.Soon it was Agatha’s turn. “Humph, you want to embarrass m
“Yeah. To imagine a curse princess being married to that dying pack of wolves,” said another princess.Austin clenched his fist tightly.After a short while, Austin also exited the party and left the great hall.Juniper, seeing that Austin had left the party made an excuse and also followed him out of the great hall.“King Austin,” said Juniper. She ran after him.“Princess Juniper, what are you doing out here?” asked Austin.“I came to find you.”“Find me?”“Yes.” She walked closer to him and pretended to trip on a pebble and fell into his arms.“Careful now,” said Austin. He was helping her steady herself.Juniper looked at him with shimmering eyes.“Are you okay?” asked Austin, with shock. His eyes widening with excitement at her alluring look.“Yes. Yes. I am. Thank you.”“Okay. Well then good night.” Austin turned around and left.Juniper frowned as to why he suddenly left. Didn’t he say that he liked her and fell in love with her at first sight? So why leave? Didn’t he ask for h
Austin couldn’t believe that he walked away from Juniper. The only person he wanted to marry to. She's the reason why he pledged his allegiance. She’s the reason why he went through all of this trouble to begin with. She's the one whom he wanted to be with. How he wanted her as his mate and his Luna. How he dreaded not taking her. Austin's pace quickened. He had to leave. Because if he didn’t, he would really do something he would regret. He would take Juniper right there and then. He had to go before he does something he shouldn't. That is hurting his mate. He nearly ran to his room as he was shaking off his feelings. When Austin got to his room. He stood outside, staring at the window. Looking at the woman who ruined it all, Agatha. How he hated her. How she had ruined everything. Austin went to the room and kicked the doors open. "Ah!" screamed Agatha. Austin stared at her with irritation. Agatha frowned at him. "You really have a way of knocking, don't you?" asked Agatha. A
“Meaning you and I will be in there,” Austin pointed to the bed. “consummating our marriage. Assuring our mating is bonded.” Austin whispers in her ears. "Everyone will watch as I take you." Agatha didn’t like what he was saying to her. She knows her father. Her father is short tempered and would probably do either one of those. Since her father wants to get rid of her, he probably forced them to mate so he can get rid of her. And that is something she doesn't want to do. Having a mate who’s going to cheat on her is a much more painful death than death itself. She doesn’t want someone who is unfaithful to her. Especially him, who is planning to bed someone else to break their bond. She refused to be with a man whose mind is always thinking about another woman. Alpha or no alpha she wouldn’t want any man like him. Being alone for so long she is fine with it. She would rather live a life alone than with someone else who would betray her. Someone who doesn't care or love her. Who thi
Knock. Knock. Austin’s face lit up as he thought it was Agatha. He rushed to the door and opened it but it wasn't. It was a maid. "Your highness, the carriage is ready," said a maid."The carriage?""Yes. Your carriage that you requested two days ago.""Oh.""Would you like for me to come get you ready?""No.""Very well." The maid bowed and left."King Austin," said Grump."What is it?" "Are you ready?""Yeah." Austin tied his hair up and put it into a bun. "Let's get going. We been far away for far too long.""Yes my king." Grump looked around and didn’t see the king’s mate. He asked, "Where is Princess Agatha?" "What do you mean?""She’s not in the room with you?"Austin frowns. He hadn't seen her all morning, so he wasn't sure where she was. Could it be that she went walking and got into trouble. She's been locked up for so long that maybe she doesn't know what’s good or bad. She probably can’t even tell whose good or bad either. He panicked and said, "Let's go.""Where?" asked
PLEASE READ THIS CHAPTER WITH CAUTION! It was nearly afternoon when her carriage came to a stop."What's going on?" she thought."Stop your carriage," said a man's voice."What do you want?" asked May."We want what's inside that carriage.""So, we went different paths because he was planning on killing me," said Agatha. "You dare touch our lady," said May. "I will chomp off your b*lls.""Oh. But we want her, and all your money," said the man."How dare you try to steal and robbed us."The man laughed loudly. "Kill them all."There was screams and footsteps running around her."He never planned on sending me away. He planned on murdering me. He sent me on my own so they could assassinate me. He didn't want to be involved in killing me, so he sent me away, so he won’t be caught or involved. How clever of him," she thought.Soon silence fell upon her. She could no longer hear the echoing screams of pain and agony.She heard laughter of the assassins."Let's get her," said a squeaky ma
Agatha sighed as the ghost disappeared. She looked up into the night sky and thought, “Where is my home?” "Your highness," said Grump."What is it?" asked Austin."I feel a distress from May.""What?""It seems they got into an ambushed.""Show me!"Grump played the visions of what was last seen by May.Austin was enraged as he heard the men trying to take advantage of his wife. He saw the leader rubbing his hands as he was excited about Agatha. His eyes widened and he panic, "Get to her quickly!" he shouted."Yes, your majesty."When Austin got there, he saw Agatha in her wolf form. “Oh, thank goodness we got here just in time,” whispered Austin. “They haven’t done anything to her.” “Yes. You’re correct,” said Grump.Austin looked at Agatha. She was pure white, her fur was thick and fluffy, and she had two tails. "What?" he questioned. He frowned as he had never seen any wolf with more than one tail. Her blue eyes was glowing beautifully. He gasped as he had never seen anyone like
Austin thought he tested her and asked, "There's so many dead bodies yet you're not afraid of them, Princess Agatha." "I have seen plenty of horrendous death in the palace. What more is these dead bodies to the horror of bodies in the palace?" Austin frowned. He had forgotten that she was locked in a cell. She must have seen and heard many screams and screeches of horror down in the prisoner's cell. He clenches his fist tightly that for such a lovely princess like her to be held in prison due to her father's hatred was totally mistreated. "Your majesty, everyone is dead." "Everyone?" "Yes." "Even May?" "Yes. It looks like they tried to r*pe her but couldn't, so they killed her too." "How do you know that." "Her clothes is torn, but nothing is done to her. It seems…" "What?" "It seems she put up quite a bit of a fight. Because of her resistance, they penetrated the sword to deep and it killed her before they could touch her." Agatha let out a sigh and walked away from them.
