A/N this is my first story so please correct me or suggest what you want to read more of.
Sarah's POV-
"I've never been so bored in my life. Why do I have to be home schooled?"
"I've told you once and I'll tell you again. It's not safe for you to be out there, no matter who your with, your enemies will target you."Uncle Nate claimed sternly.
His words lingered in my head. They're not even my enemies. I have no part in the business section of the royal pack. They're his enemies that want me as leverage. I can't be asred with his bullshit. I roll my eyes before leaving his sight and storming back upstairs.
I leap onto my bed, face planting into my pillow. I let out a long groan until flipping over, staring straight into the celling. I genuinely can't be asrsed. We live in a fucking forest and yet I'm still not allowed to go into the city.
Yes, we live in a castle, somehow hidden in a big ass forest, and I'm not allowed to go out of the forest. It's not like anyone is going to recognise me, if they've never fucking seen me before.
Before I knew it, it was already 7am, I get up feeling dazed. I stretch eagerly as I sit up. I look at the mirror to see that I haven't even changed my clothes from yesterday. I fix my self up as I got to the bathroom and hurry downstairs for breakfast.
" Good morning, your highness" Edith greets me with a huge grin spread across her face.
"Good morning, Edith. And the amount of times I've told you to call me Sarah is uncountable" I claim.
I hate it when people call me that, especially since I dont even have a part in the royal business, except be there and look pretty. "Sorry about that, Sarah" she shyly replies. Her light brown strands of hair fall in front of her soft hazel eyes.
"No need to apologise either"
I smile at her as she slightly nods her head and walks to the other side of the counter grinning. She passes me my breakfast and starts to clean up.
Even though she still calls me 'your highness' we have a bond. It's probably because she knows that I don't have any friends, other than, Aria and Deidre. That's only because they live here too.
Aria is the daughter of Zachariah, Duke of Faircrest. But she moved into this castle with me to "keep me company". We all know that was a lie. Her parents were dickheads, still are, they obviously didn't want her for some reason and so they just dumped her here. But who cares, I'm glad she's here and not with them. At least we got each other.
As for Deidre, her Dad was a Lord. I didn't know him that well, but I could tell he was a good man. Aria and I felt bad, we knew what had happened to him. But Deidre got told different. We couldn't let her take the feeling of guilt overwhelm her. So we told her the truth.
She raged. But we didn't stop her. He didn't deserve to die by his hands. It's sickening how I'm related to him. Him and his "old fashion" ways. I wish mum was here. The throne was meant for her. Not this monster. Too bad she was killed. I swear I will avenge her. As for my siblings, I don't know if the rest of them are even alive. That night will forever live in my mind.
"Sarah."
"Sarah!"
I had gotten so caught up in my thoughts that I had forgotten where I was. I quickly wipe eyes and look up to see Aria staring at me in confusion.
"Sarah, are you alright? " Aria questions.
"Uh, yeah, I'm.. it's.. I'm fine, I'm fine." I struggle to even get the right words out.
I quickly compose my self after failing to reassure her and head out for our daily run. We trasform into our wolf selves and head off. We stay silent throughout the entire run. She knows I don't like speaking about it. And so she leaves me be, which I prefer.
We skip around the trees, leap over fallen branches and rustle through the leaves. It's the only time I can actually enjoy myself. I'm guessing Deidre overslept, since she still hasn't mindlinked us, asking us why we we didnt wait for her.
We continue to run until we begin to tire out. We then sit at the lake and admire the view. Honestly, I don't even know what we do during this time since Uncle Nate mindlinks after five minutes for us to come back home.
We both dread going back so we always have a race on the way back, just to brighten things up. I've always won but that's probably because Aria keeps slamming herself into trees everytime she speeds up. Clearly training isn't working if it's been like this for some time now.
However, it's not up to me who we choose to train with, since I seem to be irrelevant in the royal family. Even though there's hardly any of us left.
We get back to the castle, and we transform back into our human self. We went back into our rooms and had a quick shower. I got changed into my less revealing attire since Uncle Nate was going to join us for some reason and so I decided to save my self from a mouthful.
I didn't have much of a choice but to go down for lunch today as I was starving. I usually skip lunch because I try to keep my distance from everyone, mainly Uncle Nate. I mean, I'll forever be thankful for him deciding to take me in. But he isn't a good leader, king nor a good person. I oppose his ways but I can't do anything about it. If only he was alive, then it would have gotten rid of Nathaniel.
I make my way downstairs and towards the dinner table.I could instantly detect Nate as his scent is, to be honest, fairly off putting. I take my seat and wait for my food to be served. I make no eye contact with him what so ever and I turn to talk to Aria. I can feel him glaring at me but I choose to ignore it.
I honestly doubt it. I've been waiting for so long and yet I'm still cooped up like a prisoner. We can't all get what we wish for. Obviously knowing from past experiences. It's honestly depressing. I've lived like this for 200 years. I don't know how, but I'm still here. Sometimes i wish I wasn't.
