Chapter 13

"This place is big," I say, gaping at the town in the mountains we have just gotten too. The town is massive, stretching all the way up the mountain to where there is a forest at the top. A large waterfall falls down the side of the mountain, a mixture of snow and ice falling into it. The houses all have a light sprinkle of snow on them, making them blend into the snowy mountain. The town is surrounded by a tall, stone wall and several watchtowers; many guards are in the towers and walking across the wall. "Are your parents at war? Why is it so protected?"

"I will tell you everything tonight. I promise," Jath explains to me. It makes me nervous, but then, any secrets will have that effect on me at the moment.

"There's more to know?" I ask.

"A lot more," Jath tells me, rushing around the wolves and running to the front of the pack next to Tiryns’s wolf. I tuck Snow further into my cloak, making sure she is secure as the stone gates open and we head into the town. It doesn't matter any; all Snow does is sleep and eat. She also won't let Tiryn or Jath touch her, much to their annoyance.

They haven't passed the bite test like I did, I suspect.

People line the streets, cheering and throwing rose petals onto us as we walk up the pathway, straight toward the top of the mountain. It reminds me of home, where the people would throw glowing leaves onto the pathway anytime the royal family came out. The last time they did that was when my king wanted to show the people how he had claimed me. It was all a lie. I may have been wife by marriage, but we were never truly mated. Vampires can only mate when they love the one they choose. It's something that does not work with fear; the magic words have no effect. My king made sure to test that rumor many a time, and he made me lie that we had mated. The air gets thicker the higher we ride up the mountain, distracting me from my memories and making it easier to remember I'm safer here than I am looking into my past. We get to another pair of gates, which again are opened for us as we get to them, and we head through them to a pathway through a forest. I look back to see only Tiryn comes through the gates, the rest of the pack has gone into the town. Tiryns’s black wolf runs by our side as we head through the long pathway through the trees until we come up to a castle in the mountain. It's huge with tall pillars that stretch into the sky and big open balconies. It reminds me so much of my home that it hurts my chest a little.

"Don't be nervous," Jath gently tells me as we get into the courtyard in front of the castle, and I look at the very imposing people standing on near the doors.
