Spirit Animals Vol. 2

|Chp. 20: Betrayed & Loved|

Honey was where I expected her. It was a relief to not have to go through the castle in search for her. She was in a room that was made of a bright white wood. There was bookshelves of many leather bound books.

She was by herself and her brown eyes stressed as she stared at a piece of parchment paper as a feather dipped in ink rested in her right hand as she looked at the parchment paper. Ink sat in a small well, a deep black waiting for the feather pen to return.

Honey's long white hair was done up in a loose braid with crystalized jewels laced through it. A light blue crown resembling ice rested a top her head keeping the locks of white hair contained that the braid did not as her pale hands rested against the white wood.

Honey wore a long iridescent white dress with crystal sewn on a top the bust line and fur cloak draped across her shoulders. White boots peeked out at the bottom as her brown gaze shifted from the paper and over to me as she set the pen down ink soaking up onto the thin paper.

I felt nervous in front of her standing there with Silver at my side. 'She shouldn't have anything to hide, just confront her on it. Confront her on the exiled wolf.' Lupa said giving me courage as she pushed herself upon me her fur threading through my fingers in comfort.

"Is there something you need K-Silver." Honey said messing up my name for a mere moment as I tilted my head to the side. "Yes I'd actually like to talk to you about something. . . if you have the time of course." I said standing there tall and showing I wouldn't leave.

Honey motioned to the wooden seat with fur as the comforter. I sat down as Honey watched me pushing her braid aside her brown eyes on my amber ones. I sucked in some breath knowing I needed to get this out. Holding it in simply made it worse.

"I'm sorry about Quinn and what's happening." I said and she simply watched. "It has nothing to do with you, so your apology is just a waste of breath." Honey said. "And we haven't decided on our plan of action next." Honey said glancing at me as she looked at me.

"Is all you came in was to say your sorry?" Honey asked. "Or did you come in to see if Quinn is going to die or not? If he's going to fight, I see the way you care for him. He means a lot to you, and you him." Honey said.

"But if that's what for I don't have an answer for you. Either Quinn will fight or North will marry, it's up to those two on the path of action." Honey said as she looked at me. "But that's not what your here for is it?" Honey asked and I shook my head.

"Quinn told me the story of how it happened. The wolf pack started a war, and the alpha killed one of Orsen's sons." I said. "The alpha is a cruel one, child or adult he cuts them down if they're in his way, he started war, and we defended, and they lost." Honey said.

"And it started with Thaddeus when they scarred his face?" I asked hoping to hear about the exiled face. "That's what started it, when they ruined my first born sons face and left it mangled, we barely got it to heal to that degree." Honey said.

"By attacking my son they declared war on the kingdom, they attacked when we were weak. We're in debt to Orsen, once the debt is clear there will be no royal fights and maybe no more two different kingdoms, just one strong united kingdom." Honey said as I watched her.

"Quinn said you were the. . . best polar bear girl and they competed for your hand." I said. Honey looked at me. "I was the only heir to this kingdom, the biggest and strongest one. My father wanted a strong suitor and I got one. Myr." Honey said watching me with caution.

"What else has my son told you?" Honey asked. "He said the territory you inherited was from three other kingdoms and the bad vibes with the pack." I said and Honey nodded watching me with caution. I wonder if she was catching on to where I was going.
