Amethyst's POV
I wake up again but this time I am laying in a four poster bed with red silver sheets and curtains. My headache is getting worse and I still can't feel Summer. They must have used wolfsbane. I just don't know the concentration so I have no clue how long she will be out.
Luckily my feet and hands are no longer bond so I get up and take in my surroundings. I notice there's two wooden doors to my right, one across from the bed and one glass door to my left. I immediately go to the glass door, most likely to a balcony, if it's not too high and I get Summer back I can jump and try to escape. Unfortunately when I get out the door and look down my hopes are shattered. I'm at least ten stories up and it looks like they put silver into the construction of the building so even if I found a way to climb down I would burn my flesh unless I can find silver-proof clothing and gloves which I highly doubt they will keep that around for anyone to use. Damn the Rogue King, he really made sure his captured wolves can't escape. It will be harder than I thought to escape this place.
After realizing I won't be able to escape that way, I go check the other doors, one is obviously a closet and the other is most likely the door to the bedroom since they both open into this room, the last door opens the opposite way towards what I am assuming is a bathroom. The first is locked which just confirms my suspicions that it leads to the hall, it's probably guarded too. The second door is definitely the closet, a huge walk-in that looks like it could hold mine, and all of my sisters' clothing in it. The last one is an en suite like I thought. It has a decent sized shower with what looks like a waterfall shower head, a marble sink and a fancy toilet, like I'm pretty sure there's a bidet setting on that thing.
'At least the Rogue King treats his prisoners well.' I scoffed to myself.
Just as I leave the bathroom, I hear the sound of keys outside my door and the click of the door being unlocked. I quickly look around to see if there is something I can use to defend myself with but unfortunately there isn't so I decide to take a fighters stance, my wolf maybe out for the count right now but having a warrior for a father means he's taught me a few things in self defense. Especially after what happened at prom he has put in a little more time with me and training. It's just too bad that I let my guard down at school so I was easy to ambush.
The door opens and in walks a talk thin lady with long silver hair, long manicured nails, pale skin, red lips and cat like eyes, a witch.
"No need to fight me dear." She says taking in my stance. "I won't hurt you unless you make me. Now sit down so I can get a look at you."
"Why should I listen to you or even trust you for that matter." I sneer.
"Oh you definitely shouldn't trust me or anyone here in the rogue kingdom for that matter." She remarks with a little grin plastered across her face. "But if you don't listen to me then I will just make you. Your choice." She shrugs.
I let out a sigh, releasing my stance and sit at the edge of the bed. Witches can be unpredictable and depending on how powerful they are they can cause pain with barely a flick of their fingers. I am too exhausted to risk it and without Summer I wouldn't be able to heal like I normally would.
"Wonderful choice. Now dear, you have been chosen by the Rogue King to be his next bride so I must run some tests to make sure you are worthy."
"WHAT!? I will not be anyone's bride and you can take your tests and shove them up your ass!" I scream.
Laughing the witch turns to me "Oh dear you don't have a choice here but I like your spirit, reminds me of our king, he will have fun breaking you! It has been a long time since he had someone with such," she pauses, "courage."
"I would like to see him try!" I growled.
"Oh me too, but first I need to do what I came here to do." She quips. Then she starts chanting "dei demonstro virginitas, aut firmo consors, probo virgo dignus." (Gods prove virginity, or provide partners, prove the maiden's worthiness)
As she's chanting a faint light out lines me, it has a slight orange hue, shortly following I smell two very distinct smells, one of which I recognize as Cliff's scent and the other as Rhett's. WTF! Is this witch determining if I am a virgin and who I slept with! All she had to do was ask!
"Well people lie, so magic is the only way to know the truth." She says.
'Shit did I say that out loud.' I ask myself.
"And yes," she answers my question, "you said that out loud, and even if you did tell me the truth and tell me you aren't a virgin the King always likes to know how many one has slept with, it helps him determine where to place you if you don't qualify as his bride."
My jaw drops. "What kind of sick man is he? I mean first he kidnaps women, then he has his witch determine if they are virgins and if they're not then what? He sells them? Gives them to the highest bidder?" I say incredulously.
"Actually, if my potential bride is unworthy, she becomes either my breeder or the packs breeder. It is the price she pays for not being pure until mating night like a woman should be." A voice from the door echoes in the room. I look up to see a man with red hair, and a beard that is staring to turn white. He's much older than I expected and looks almost familiar to me. As he comes into the room I am hit with the scent of rogue but also something else, something almost recognizable mixed in. I stare at him trying to place why he seems so familiar to me even though I know I have never met this msn in my life.
"My King," the witch bows. "The test is done, she isn't a virgin and has only had two partners."
"Very disappointing, thank you Winifred, you may leave." The Rogue King says dismissing the witch who I now know is named, Winifred, how cliché.
Winifred takes her leave and the Rogue King walks up to me. Grabs my chin and tilts it towards him very harshly. Then he sniffs my hair. "You smell familiar, why is that?"
"I don't know. I have never met you before." I say through clenched teeth.
"Hmmm, no I suppose we haven't. What is your full name?"
"Why should I tell you?" I spit.
He grabs my hair yanking it back hard and I let out in involuntary whimper. "You will tell me willingly or I will force it out of you." He commands. "Which will it be? I have no problem using physical punishment, I actually prefer it. Now tell me what is your full name?"
"Amethyst Grey from the River Mights Pack." I seethe.
"Hahaha! Well little girl, I am Reed Grey senior, the Rogue King and your grandfather!"
