Chapter14
I placed him on the horse first and climbed on after.
“Where are we taking the little man?”
Max asked, I looked down and smoothed his golden curls.
“The palace.” Michaelangelo answered as they mounted their horses.
Max nodded and led the way.
“Who is she?”
“She came from the northern villages.”
“Everyone there died.”
All these whispers I heard as I entered the kingdom.
“Wow…”
The little boy’s voice registered in my head as I was pulled away from the whispers of the people.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
He shook his head, making his curls shake.
“Nothing ma’am it’s just…I’ve never been to the kingdom before.”
“This boy needs a hot bath, food and anything else he desires.” Michaelangelo told one of the maids as they approached us.
She nodded and took the boy from me, he looked back and I gave him a reassuring nod telling him he would be safe.
“Now we have to go see the bosses.”
Michaelangelo mumbled as we entered his father’s room again.
“My dear, I know you mean well but you could have been killed without an escort.”
Michaelangelo’s mother said.
“I had an escort….Max took me.”
I didn’t know where this sense of confidence was coming from but I did like it.

She looked back to me.
“What is it that you saw?”
I sat down.
“The village was destroyed, fires took the houses, fences and the chapel. The men were piled up and burned, the children were killed and any woman who refused to leave was killed along with her
children. Any others were taken captive by the Abaddon’s, they’re being used as toys, slaves and some are warriors now.”
Everyone gaped at me.
“You…you saw all of that?”
I shook my head, I don’t know how the hell I knew all of that.
“Mother…Rose is no ordinary Werewolf. She’s well, she’s a half witch. The one who was born years
ago.”
I waited for her to laugh, call me a freak and tell me to get out of the palace but instead she
embraced me.
“I’ve waited for this day since my boy was born.”
I shook my head in surprise.
“What?”
I asked as she pulled away.
“When Michaelangelo was born a woman came to us, she looked withered and we didn’t think much of her. So we offered her shelter and food, the next day she came to us and told us she would grant us one wish.”
She looked over to my mate.
“We refused, so instead she gave us good fortune, telling us that one day my son would marry someone of great importance. She said that you would help restore this kingdom and create peace throughout the land.”
She smiled as she cupped both of my hands in hers and I tried to mask the shock on my face.
“That’s…odd.” Was all I could say. I mean it was, this whole scenario was straight from a science fiction novel.

“And the boy? What’s his story?”
Michaelangelo’s father questioned suddenly.
“I rescued him from his burning house…his mother was wrapped around him, dead.”
I–replied.
It was horrible now that I thought about it. He had lost his entire family, his mother.
I couldn’t imagine what kind of hell he would have to go through his entire life.
“He’ll be alright, we’ll make sure that he’ll be in the best care…he’ll be ok.”
Michaelangelo wrapped his arms around my waist.
I nodded and sighed…It’d been a long day.
“Let’s go back home, we have some things to sort out.”
Michaelangelo sighed and held me closer.
Max emerged from the doorway just then and nodded to me.
“The boy…Tyler I believe insists on seeing you.
He spoke to me.
What did he want to see me for?
“Well, bring him here then.”
I replied.
We waited near the entrance before Tyler came running down the stairs.
“I heard you were leaving milady, I just wanted to thank you.”
Tyler spoke to his shoes and I lifted his chin with my hand.
“Don’t think I won’t give you that tour of the palace young man, I’ll ask Mike if we can come back
next week.”
He smiled and nodded before hugging me and running off.
I turned around, ready to ask my mate to bring me back when Michaelangelo’s lips caught mine in a beautiful and passionate kiss that had my stomach turning in a fluttering way.

“You really need to stop calling me Mike.”
He breathed as he pulled away.
“Stop keeping things from me and I just might think about it.”
Lreplied.
He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
“I reckon there are some things you want to talk about.”
“You have no idea.”
