Helpless Beauty
Hunnie
Shoving pieces of bread into my mouth, followed by the tiny, orange colored, square cheeses, I cried my hardest I've ever cried.
Aldrerix, The King brought me cheese and bread before. It made me reminiscent towards our first encounter. Why does the woman bring me this?
Who is this blonde haired woman? I hate her even more for bringing me this. It only brought me extreme pain.
Breaking my own heart even more, I began playing that one scene over and over again. Then calmly putting it to the back of my mind. The day I received my invitation to come live with him in his castle.
The bread was also very fresh and it fueled more into my sobs. How can bread taste this good!
With just a few more pieces left, the winged prisoner across the way begins to speak.
"The young master is coming.." he rushed the words out quickly.
I harshly swallow all the contents in my mouth and shove the remaining cheese and pieces of bread, into my mouth.
I crumpled the brown paper bag that held the snacks and shoved it between a lose stone in the stone wall behind me. Not being able to move anywhere else with my injured back.
I hear the dungeon door creek open, and soft footsteps walking down the concrete stairs, I sit up eager and anxious, waiting to see my furious mate turn the corner.
His scent flood my nostrils immediately, sending a cold shiver down my spine and to my toes.
Expecting for The King to walk in front of me and inflict more pain to my draining and helpless soul.
Instead, it's Kris.
He seems....troubled,and sad.
I follow his slouching body, as he approaches my cells door slowly with his head hung low. Wearing only a white tank top, pajamas bottom and black house slippers.
My body shivers at his state. He doesn't look right. I can almost feel his emotions pouring out of his body, mixing with mine and combing our sadness together....
He unlocks my cell and lifts his head. His red, teary, brown eyes meeting mine finally.
My heart began racing for the fact he might ask me to stand again. I wasn't sure my body could move out of the position.
I look at his deep, dark eyes. They seemed so shattered.
What was wrong with him?
We scan each other's face until he's only inches away from my sitting body. I look up into his eyes still. His broken face glaring down at mine.
Suddenly, a single tear falls from his right eye. All the way down to his chin and rolling under.
"What is it?" I say almost in tears.
He's acting odd and it's scaring me! I'm fearing for the worse! Will he want to take my baby?
Did The King harm him because of me?
I shake the small trance I held on his face and peered at his glistening, toned legs.
He doesn't answer me, and instead, closes his eyes. He exhales out slowly and opens them back up. Another tear leaving the same right eye again. His eyes almost flicking dark like The Kings.
"The King.." he croaks.
"He's going...he's going to kill...you"
What....
He's really going to do it?
My...My....My own....Mate?
My heart bursted inside of my chest. I couldn't breathe the air around me anymore. I found my body begging to choke and only coughs left my throat.
Then I broke down. Does me and my baby really have to die?
No one is still telling me what I did wrong......but exist...
My heart takes a turn. Maybe I can ask Kris what I've done, and maybe he can convince The King someway somehow. Last time I could barely speak as I was in so much pain, but now.....
Now.....I don't want to die.
I have a child to raise. I must survive so they can survive too.
"What have I done Kris? Can you tell me and I explain? Please!" I begged him, clasping my fingers in front of me together.
He lowers his head, as though it's not even worth it for me to explain.
I unclasp my hands, dropping them into my lap and leaned against the wall.
It's hopeless.
My eyes began stinging, and burning from that left over liquid The King poured all over my mouth. It's still dry all over my body!
"Hunnie..." Kris whispers enough for my ears to hear.
I don't look at him. I can't. Maybe it's best we do die. No one cares about us.
"How do you...know Aldrerix's name?"
He mumbles, catching me off guard with this whole name thing again. I turn to look at him and my fingers starts to fumble with each other on it's own.
I was afraid to even say it out loud. Do I tell him he introduced me to himself as a wolf named Aldrerix, or do I say I don't remember, just like The King seems to not remember me?
"The... King told me. That's...the...only name... I know him...by."
Kris doesn't reply. Instead he searches my face. It made me feel small. He didn't seem to believe me one bit.
I just wished he would stop staring at me like he's going to break down.
"Can I just be....let go?" I asked, licking the salty liquids leaving my eyes from my top lip.
"Yes Hunnie. I think you can. But...But... the child."
Kris says and shakes his head before turning around to face the cell door.
"The child what?" I whispered with my quivering, chapped, lips.
"The King won't let you leave with a child inside...of you." His voice sounded as though it was straining itself.
The hairs all over my body rose to the highest point and I feel my bladder tightening.
I start to bawl uncontrollably while holding my stomach. Why can't I keep the life inside of me and leave too? This isn't fair.
It's my body!

Kris's POV
I reach out to Hunnie's bloody legs. Wanting to soother her pain. Her body shakes and trembles right before my eyes.
The moment I told her she couldn't leave with the life inside of her, she began crying a horrible sound I've never heard leave her lips.
In the 18 years I've known her for, I've never seen her in any form like this what so ever. It broke me to the fullest.
Tears began leaving my face as my fingers brushes against her knees. Caressing her to stop the dreadful sound leaving her.
I feel so drawn to her. I can't just let her go.
Barely even lookin gat the rest of her body, I close my eyes, not wanting to see her bloodied the way she was.
I remember how vibrant she used to me. Flawless!
I began wondering, "Hunnie...You said you slept with The King a month ago?.... Where?"
What if she thinks about it and maybe The King could use one of his abilities to infiltrate minds and look into it?
Between cries Hunnie says, "As wolves. He even bit me". She stalls at the end, but I know for sure when Bahm is enjoying himself dearly, he tends to bite his women out of sheer pleasure.
I'm making progress. She says, they had sex as wolves, Aldrerix must know something! He is lying to Bahm clearly.. He got Hunnie pregnant!
Thinking she might be protecting Rix, I continued to question her. "Why do you have a cloaking spell up? Are you hiding from Aldrerix? Thats probably another reason she can't use her werewolf abilities to heal her wounds. She's using too much energy on holding up this spell!
Hunnie doesn't answer on time, as I begin to sense and feel The King leaving his chambers now. In comes The King like a mad man.
He teleport in front of me, grabbing Hunnie by her throat. Lifting her off the ground and up into the air.
"That's because she's up to no good!" He squeezes her neck not knowing his strength and I flip out!
Hunnie automatically begins gasping for air and my super lycan ears can pick up on all the blood moving to her face.
Seeing red, before feeling myself shift, I yell in his face. "DO NOT TOUCH HER! LET HER GO!"
He only spares me a glance from the corner of his eye. Hell turning over and my claws lengthen.
"I'll rip your heart out of my chest if you lay another hand on her. NO MORE!" The words squeezing themselves from between my teeth.
