I AM QUEEN

Chapter 34

Ethan's P.O.V:

I stare open mouthed at the little boy as he runs away giggling. I knew something was weird about him when I saw his violet eyes and also the fact he could knock me down and hold a knife to my throat. I chuckle at the thought, such power and cheekiness in such a small body.

I rub the area at my chest where I felt like it pained a little. I don't know why but as soon as the kid left I wished he was back and doing his weird things around me. I frowned when I felt the almost physical pain when he fell on the ground startled by something. I wanted to help him up and check or injuries or if he was seriously hurt. I don't know why I felt the need to rush him to the doctor when he fell.

I shake my head at the thought, must be a royal thing. Since his mother was queen it meant he was a prince and since my loyalty lies with the queen maybe I felt the need to protect her kin. Yeah, that must be it.

I walk through the dense forest and make my way through the grounds where a few wolves were training. Some shirtless men were also training with swords, knifes and even guns. They all stared as I walked through but made no move to stop me. From the corner of my eye I catch a little body running through the mud and doing a weird obstacle course. It takes me a moment to realize the little body was of the little prince, Danny. He jumped and dodged the whole course like a pro and when he crossed it took the bottle of water from the teacher and watched his other classmate do the same. He must have spotted me because he smiled a huge smile and waved at me. I smiled and waved back my heart feeling happy like it had never before. I shake my head once more and enter the castle through the door. As soon as I do I smell something so delicious and mouthwatering. It was chocolate mixed with a hint of strawberry. I instantly knew what it was.

I spent the last fifty years or more waiting to catch that smell and I finally did. I start walking towards the smell but realize the feet were too slow and took off with my wings. When I reached a set of double doors I land softly and pat my hair down to make it a little better from its usual messy self. I take a deep breath inhaling more of the scent and open the doors.

I instantly zero on the lone figure in the corner like she had a spotlight on her. She relentlessly punched a punching bag and occasionally kicked it. her fiery red hair was in a pony tail and she was wearing a tight sports bra and a pair of tight spandex shorts that reached her knees. Her clothing situation made me instantly rearrange my pants, if you get what I mean. Since she was wearing her head phone so loud even I could hear the music she played, she didn't hear me coming inside. All of a sudden she stopped punching and sniffed the air. Her head instantly snapped to where I was standing and I saw her blue eyes look at me in confusion then understanding, and then lastly fear. I didn't know why she was afraid of me. I could feel my half wolf side take over possessively. My wolf who never spoke before, but said one word to me

Mate

From here I saw her breath hitch a sure sign that by now she knew who or rather what I was. As I took a step towards her she moved back but before I could do anything she jumped out of the window breaking glass and onto the ground. When I ran to the window in panic I didn't see any body and thanked the moon goddess that she was safe and had only shifted into her wolf. But why would she feel the need to escape me? I would never tell anybody but the thought hurt my heart. So I decided to stay in the training room staring at the broken window like a love sick puppy. Even if I only met her and didn't know her name I was in love. I was in love with her beautiful red hair and her rosy lips that just were begging to be kissed by me. Although her blue eyes were beautiful they didn't fit her well. Hmm, perhaps contacts? I spend the rest of the day just thinking about her when I am bought out of my thoughts by the door banging open. I saw girl with brown hair and grey eyes looking around the room with a murderous glare. When she didn't find who she was looking for she looked at me and her murderous glare turned to confusion then embarrassment. Another man with red hair and violet eyes came running in.
