The King's Queen✔

40. Dark

A burning pain woke me up. I can feel it rising, trying to break it's confinements, trying to break free. I tried holding back and a deep inhuman growl erupted from my chest. My nails started to grow. And at that point, I realized that no matter what it will be happening. So immediately I send a mind link to Bren in the middle of my deep growls and puffs of breaths.

"it- is taking control, hurry up" I somehow managed to send him and I ran out of the room after making sure Amelia is still asleep.

My canines started to grow longer and I could no longer standstill. I was about to fall down and a groan of pain escaped me because my arms and leg's bones started to break and bend; Bren and other guards appeared and supported me. They dragged me down to the place which was specifically made for a time like this. A time when I could no longer hide the darkness in me.

The time when all I am is dark.

I opened my eyes and looked around the empty room trying to remember how did I get here? And what time is it? I suddenly sat up and shooting pain in my head made me groan.

The last thing I remember was that I and Macy were drinking alcohol. Oh, I am having a hangover. My first ever hangover. And this pain definitely gave me a strong reason why I didn't like to drink alcohol. I also learned that it was the afternoon now.

I got up and bathe with a frown.

I walked out and saw that no many people were out. Whoever I saw were on edge.

And finally, after a good search, I found Bren and decided to ask about Eros to him.

"Hey, Bren. Where is Eros?" I asked him.

He didn't answer me at first but thought for a while and then shoot me a smile which I am sure was fake.

"Umm, he is busy" he answered vaguely.

"Okay, but where is he?" I enquired.

"He is - I don't know. But don't he will be back soon" he changed his answer midway which definitely meant that something was wrong.

"Bren, please tell me where he is? I am started to get worried. Is it safe? And why all these people seem to be on edge as if something bad is just about to happen. I know you know something, tell me!" I ranted.

He seems to be considering my words and thinking about it.

After a minute he finally sighs deeply and said "Look, Amelia. Eros told me not to tell you but the situation is kind of getting out of control and even he demands to see you."

"Okay, but who is 'he'? I asked as he emphasized him.

"You will know soon. Now let me warn you, you are not going to like what you will see. And try not to judge so easily. Keep an open mind. I know what I am going to show isn't going to put you in danger, so don't fear him. He wouldn't hurt you. "

I nodded. He nodded back and took a deep breath and gestured me to follow him which I obliged.

He took me out of the mansion towards the forest and even though I wanted to ask where are we going. I did not but followed him.

After walking for a few minutes, we stopped at the cave looking entrance which was made of stones.

We walked inside it and the temperature inside suddenly dropped. And then we climbed down the stairs made of stones which were inside the cave.

Down the stairs a loud noise which sounds like a growl, a growl which was very deep and completely inhumane. A growl which made goosebumps rise on my arms.

Slowly we descended down the steps and sounds of chains rattling and growls becoming more prominent.

But nothing could prepare me for the scene I saw at the end of the stairs. The scene which my eyes wide as saucers, my arms, and legs full of goosebumps, and a chill running down my spine.

I could smell her.

She was near me.

I could feel her presence.

I could finally meet her.

After searching and waiting for years to meet her. To be prisoned in that dark place for months. I would meet her, today. And then,

I finally saw her. My Mate.
----------

Ha, you thought I would tell so easily, Nah. You have to wait for the next chapter for the reveal. The next chapter would finally tell you half of the secret which Eros is hiding.

Today I realized that the way I wrote that Eros would tell Amelia wasn't what I planned from the beginning. I mean c'mon there has to some drama in it, duh!
