Song For This Chapter: Numb by Tommee Profitt & Skylar Grey
Alpha Liandria;
I stare in silence at the ground. At the trail of ants carrying a crumb of bread from my plate, across the floor.
I watch them in wrapt attention as they carry it carefully, knowing that they are doing all this to serve their queen. All so she can birth more… servants.
Funny how I used to think I was like that. An untouchable queen. I instilled so much fear in my people, I was certain that till the day I breathe my last, they would have no choice but to serve me. No matter what I did.
I never thought that one day… I would be stuck here. In a cell.
My thoughts pull to a stop when my nose catches the familiar scent that causes my heart to skip a beat.
Rhydian.
He's… he's coming.
Since Wilhelm locked me up, Rhydian hasn't paid me a single visit… But now… Did something happen to him? Is he okay??
I get up and rush over to the bars as I dust my skirt and stare eagerly, waiting to see him.
