Chapter 11

I had to get up and get away from these people. Standing, I clutched my stomach. I thought I’d fake being sick. I moaned loudly and fake stumbled away from the king’s table but I didn’t watch where I was going and I ran right into the muscular form of Dashrael.

“Are you ill?” asked the chancellor.

Before I could answer, Dani leapt to my side and said, “No she’s fine. She just has to use the royal facilities.”

She steered me away from Dashrael and back towards my chambers. She leaned in close and whispered, “Pretend you have to go to the bathroom.”

“What?” I asked.

“You don’t want to be sick, there’s a court magician right there,” she explained. “There’s no illness he can’t cure with a spell.”

I straightened up. “Nature calls.” So much for my elegant entrance.

Dani and I started back towards the cross hall. Simeon the wizard called out. “Perhaps I could- “

“What?” I asked.

Simeon said, “There’s no real need to disturb yourself. A simple teleportation spell and-“

I tried not to gag at the thought of it.

“The princess would prefer a little privacy in this matter,” Dani answered.

We quickly left the great hall and entered my wing of the palace.

“What are you doing?” I demanded. I kept my voice low because there were guards everywhere.

“Helping you,” she said in an equally low tone. “You want to slip out unnoticed right? And perhaps get inside a certain stone tower where they keep prisoners.”

“Why should you care?”

“I like you. I’m a romantic at heart. I think the whole war between fae and werewolves is silly. If you want a real good reason, I have an opportunity to pitch a rom com to an a-lister coming up in a week or so and I’m out of ideas. I’m hoping your antics will inspire me.”

We entered my room at the end of the hall. Dani shut the door then checked the windows. “Sometimes there’s a patrol near the grounds. Just wait a few and make sure it’s clear.”

I began to calm down some. I thought about the banquet. All those people and powerful forces, and my birth sent them all into a panic.

“I guess I’m a little infamous,” I said to Dani. “Me and my mother.”

Dani nodded, “A bit but the real figure of mystery is your father.”

“My father?” I asked.

Dani answered, “You now know what was at stake. The whole kingdom had been asking, why did Princess A’Lona break off her engagement to Tristan Coldiron and run off with a human? What power did he have over her?”

I laughed bitterly. What was she telling me? That my father had planned to lose his mind just so he could bed a faerie princess?

“Power over her? My father’s been fae struck his entire life. She’s the one who ensnared him,” I said.

“Why would she do that?”

“For her own selfish reasons,” I fumed. That was what I had told myself every night since my mother abandoned us; A’Lona Wolfstriker never loved my father, she never loved us.
