Chapter 133
The warriors handled the clean up and I went back to the castle where Lexie and Jacob were waiting for me.
"Your mother called me. She said that you might want to talk when you got home." Lexie said. "About what?"
"She told us about Felix and what you did today." Jacob said.
"Are they pissed that I took matters into my own hands? Isn't that what a royal is meant to do? "I asked.
"They're not pissed. They're worried because that was the first person you killed." Lexie said. "I'm fine. He deserved it. The crimes that he committed were beyond atrocious. The files
included photos. That's why I didn't wait." I said.
"Well, if you change your mind then you know where we are."
"I do. Thanks." I said.
I walked out the back to my favorite courtyard and I sat on the bench looking out at the ocean
when I felt a gust of wind behind me.
"I was wondering if you were going to show up." I said.
"I had to. I felt the power that you used today." Maisie said.
"I couldn't help it. The rage that I felt when I was looking at that asshole." I said.
"That's usually how it happens sometimes. You've just never experienced the rage that you needed for your powers to emerge." She explained.
"I've never felt like that before. But that's not what bothers me the most...I just killed someone. I killed another wolf and I don't even seem that fazed about it." I said, turning to look at her properly. "You're a wolf. It's your nature as an apex predator. But as a werewolf, you were created to protect the innocent. And that's what you were doing." Maisie explained.
"I really thought it would feel different when I killed someone." I said.
"I know. And I bet a lot of people around here were hoping that you would never have to."
"So, does this mean you're going to start training me?" I asked.

"I have to. You need to know how to control it. You got lucky today. But you could have hurt that little girl." Maisie said.
"When do you want to start?"
"Right now. We'll start off slow."
Maisie stayed out there with me for a couple hours trying to train me with my powers but trying to teach me how to control my emotions. She said that it was going to be the hardest thing to do. And when I went back inside I heard Lexie and Jacob talking to someone so I walked to the
living room but I froze at the doorway when I saw our guest.
"Hello Emma." Noah said.
"What the f**k are you doing here?" I asked.
"You've met?" Jacob asked with a c****d eyebrow.
"Yeah. Sort of." I said.
"Noah is your new head of security." Lexie said. And I looked at him as he was standing there
staring at me, the same intensity in his eyes.
"So, you're going to be following me everywhere I go?" I asked.
"Yes, ma'am." Noah said.
"I don't need anyone's protection." I said.
"You're the princess. You need as much protection as you can get. And Noah was sent here by your parents. We can't turn him away. He was ordered by the Queen so there's no argument." Jacob said. And I turned back to look at Noah.
"So, what was last night? Just a way for you to meet me without telling me who you were?
What a familiar f*****g story." I yelled.
"Emma. Calm down. This is different." Chloe said, walking over to me.
"No. It isn't. Go to hell Noah. Stay the hell away from me." I yelled, going upstairs to my room.
He had every opportunity last night to tell me who he was, but he didn't. What a f*****g asshole. He's almost as bad as the other two. But at least he wasn't trying to sleep with me. I guess I better give him credit for that. I sat on the chair next to my window when my phone started ringing and I picked it up to see that Avery was trying to facetime me.

I answered it and she had the phone pointing at Hazel's house.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Can't you hear her?" Avery asked.

I could hear Hazel inside screaming and crying and throwing things. Her mother was trying to calm her down and find out what was going on, but Lucas just walked out the front door and he saw Avery standing there. She tried to hide the phone but he walked over to her and started questioning her and grabbed the phone off of her.
He looked straight at me.
"I heard that you did this." Lucas said.
"She deserved it." I said.
"I'm not mad at you for it. I just wish I knew before she came home and tried to punch me." He
said. And I started laughing.
"You f*****g deserved that." I said and I hung up.
So much f*****g drama. I was getting sick of it to be honest. But at the same time, it was
good to see the people who deserved to get screwed over to finally get what they deserved.
I walked over to my room and I laid down for a while so I could get some rest and I ended up falling asleep in my dirty clothes.
Chloe came and woke me up when dinner was ready and I sat up on my bed and I was still
pretty groggy.
"Are you feeling alright?" She asked.
"Yeah. Just tired. I think next time we go out, it needs to be a little better planned out." I said.
"Noted. At least you're agreeing to go out again."
"Of course I am. I have fun." I said, getting up.
So we went downstairs to the dining room and Noah was standing by the stairs and followed us downstairs.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Are you actually living in the castle?" I asked.
"Yes, ma'am. I've been put in the room right next to yours." He said.
"Are you f*****g serious?" I asked, turning to look at him.

"It's only temporary. You're the only one sleeping on the top floor at the moment and it's for your protection. Queen's orders." Noah said.
I turned back around and finished walking down the stairs and went to the dining room.
I was looking through some other work for the pack while we were eating dinner because I blew off my commitments this afternoon.
But after everyone heard what happened with Felix, they were perfectly okay with me not. going to my prior engagements.
But there were a lot of files there from people requesting to move to our territory.
I guess this is why mom wanted to build a new community in that clearing. Because she knew that more people would be coming to us for some reason. "You need to learn how to prioritize." Lexie said.
"I know. But I'm still learning. I feel like my parents just threw me in the deep end."
"I think they did, in a way." Jacob said.
"I know." I said.
"They wouldn't have done it unless they believed you could handle it." Lexie said.
After dinner the other disappeared to do what they always did and I got up and put all the
paperwork back into the office.
When I walked out I saw Noah standing there, so I walked towards the front door.
I opened the double doors and I walked to the stone veranda that looked out over the village at
the bottom of the stairs.
It was lit up with the houses and some fires burning near the houses with people sitting around them. Talking and laughing and having fun.
I guess they were celebrating that Felix was finally gone.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I asked. And Noah walked over to stand next to me.
"Yeah. It is." He said.
"Why didn't you just tell me who you were?"
"Because I wanted to know what I was dealing with before you knew who I was. I wanted you
to be yourself. I've been private security for a lot of people, but never the werewolf princess
before. I thought I would find someone completely different."
"What were you expecting?"

"Not you. But in a good way." He said.
"So, I passed the test?"
"It wasn't a test. Not for you. It was more like a test for me." He said.
"To see if you could handle me?"
"Yeah. I watched you today. What you were doing. And I'll be honest, last night I thought you might be a handful. But watching you today, I know that you're not a handful. You've just got a lot going on right now. You were blowing off steam. And I respect that. But it proves that
you're not a typical teenage princess." He explained. So I turned and smirked at him.
"That's good to know."
