Chapter 85

Soma’s POV

I was getting annoyed being with King Gideon his constant advances were pissing me off. I knew he wanted me to be his mate, but I wasn't and I wasn't going to give in to him, no matter how much he whines and complains that my place is next to him. I was going to get out of this castle one way or another.

Since the vampires haven't moved in, it was probably something King Gideon used to scare the people of the kingdom, mostly as a form of control. Pacing around my room I knew taking a chance going through the window was probably not a good idea, but running out the front door is even worse. I knew getting away from King Gideon was going to be impossible, but I needed to try.

He was getting restless and I knew he was going to force himself on me and mark me, I still wasn't sure what that meant, and if Oliver would still be my mate. I wasn't taking that chance and there was no way in hell he was going to stick his dick anywhere near me either.

I was glad he was leaving, I couldn’t deal with him around me anymore. Just the fact that he thought touching me was okay, I wish I was stronger I would be able to overpower him and get him to realize that he isn't going to get his way as easily as he thought he would.

“Do you feel better?” Roman said coming closer to me.

He was another one, someone I wanted to show my anger to but I knew it wouldn't do me any good and if I ignored him long enough maybe he would go away.

“Why are you still here?” I growled. “I know King Gideon wants me locked in here, but I don’t want to be around you right now.”

“Aw don’t do this Princess, I thought you and I could make this work. You are going to have to trust me, I promise things are going to be fine between us,” he said walking closer to me. “I know you want to trust me, at least part of you does.”

“No, actually none of me wants anything to do with you. When I get out of here, if you try and catch me I am going to kill you.” I snapped, but the expression on his face told me he would love for me to do that. He wanted the challenge, his blonde hair was perfectly set on his head, almost making him look like an angel but I knew he wasn't he was a demon.

“I was instructed to make sure you are safe.” he mused. “But if you want me to leave I can, but the door will be locked and you will be stuck in here until I come back or send someone in with some food.”

“Get out!” I growled throwing my hands in the air.

Either he wanted to see if he could get a rise out of me, or he didn’t know he was pissing me off. I wanted to rip him apart, I had never felt this anger before. I wasn't sure if it was something he was told to do and to test me that way, either way, I didn’t want to give him what he wanted even though it was so easy.

I watched him leave and I heard the lock click in place. I walked over to the door to see if it was locked, I was a little pissed he was serious about locking me inside, but I knew he had to do what King Gideon wanted. I was worried about when King Gideon came back and how he was going to try and force me into being his mate.

There should be something I could do to get away from him, I knew Roman said he would allow me to try and escape, I just didn’t know how far I would get before he turned into this Lycan and come at me. I knew his Lycan wasn't stable and that is what scared me the most. I didn’t want to be his either, it was like I had to choose between the two of them and I didn’t like that.

Pulling on the door a couple of times I hoped the door would open but it was a solid oak door and seemed to be very heavy. I think Kiong Gideon put me in here because he knew I would try and use the girl strength I have, but I am failing and it was getting annoying. I wanted to get out of here and walk around the castle to find a way out of here but I knew Roman was just messing with my head when he told me he would give me time to escape.

Looking around the room I knew there was no way to get out of here, I was screwed and I knew Roman would come in and give me his looks and taunt me. Maybe there was something in this room that I could use to knock him out, maybe something hard enough?

The lock clicked on the door and it opened. I thought about rushing the door but figured there were going to be guards out there and if it was Roman coming into the room it would be pointless to try and run past him.

To my surprise, it was a girl with a tray of food. She closed the door before walking over to me.

“Roman asked that I bring you some food and something to drink.” she smiled setting the food down. “So I have something for you,” she whispered.

“Huh?”

“I have a friend that told me you don’t belong here, and I want to give you something to help you get out of here. Most of the Lycans are down training right now including Roman.” she continued.

“Um, won’t you get in trouble?” I asked confused. “How do I know this isn't something Roman has been doing to try and get what he wants.”

“I have a mate,” she said coming closer. “He’s been chatting with Nick and I was sent word since I work here to try and get you out of the castle, men are waiting outside the walls,” she said looking back at the door. “I know you have issues with trust and we don’t blame you, but here,” she said handing me a small dagger. “It’s coated with Blood’s bane, you have to stab him enough so he stumbles when he does you have about two minutes to lose him, if you can get out of the castle there are people out there waiting to help you.”

“What if you get caught?” I said looking back at the door half expecting Roman to be standing there and this all being a trick.

“Trust me I will be fine.” she smiled before bowing and leaving the room.

I still didn’t trust the girl and this dagger, but I hid it under my pillow and sat down and ate the food I was starving and I knew I was going to need the strength when it came to trying to get past Roman. I had to be careful because this could all be a trap and he could grab me and mark me and everything would turn worse.

I was a little scared about running through the castle, I didn’t know my way around and who knows there might be loads of guards everywhere and since he could communicate with them they would probably be able to catch me quickly.

Once I was finished with my dinner it was getting late. I decided to take a shower and put some other clothes on if there were any. I was hoping there were at least jeans and a t-shirt so it would be easier to run when it came to it, but I knew King Gideon wanted me to look like a Princess so I would have to deal with running in a gown, I would leave my shoes off and hope I didn’t fall because of my clumsiness.

After getting out of the shower, I walked into the room with a towel around me.

“Wow waiting for me already?” Roman joked.

“Get out!” I snapped pulling the towel closer to me. I wasn't about to give him what he wanted. “I wanted a shower before bed.”

“Good, I just wanted to check on you to make sure you are comfortable since you are locked in here by yourself. Maybe I could hang out with you for a while at least until you sleep?” he said taking a step closer to me.

“No thank you,” I said looking towards the bed. “I just want to get dressed and go to sleep, I don’t want you anywhere near me. I don’t need someone to watch me fall asleep, I am not a child.”

“Of course, you're not otherwise it would be weird that I am falling for you,” he said leaning against the wall. “I know you don’t want to hear it, but you are beautiful and you have a power inside of you that is dying to get out.”

“I am not going to be your mate, so you can throw that out the window. Now if you don’t mind I would like to get ready and go to bed, I don’t want you watching me, get out!”

“Fine, but one day you will become mine, remember our deal. Maybe I will let you out and try and escape tomorrow, I need some excitement. Good night.” he said leaving the room. I was thankful, I got dressed and dried my hair before getting into bed.

Moving the pillow out of the way, the dagger was gone. Roman must have found it, I just hope he doesn’t know who gave it to me.
