Chapter 4 Basically she's my mate then I own her

ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV

The door opens. I smirk. What a sister she has. She brings that man who is a knight commander? Even some noble people, knights, servants and their parents. 'She must have suffer a lot while staying here.' I can tell that specially when she begs and even trembles. I am holding her neck while standing on her back. I even lifted her clothes sleeve down to her arms. They can see her upper left chest. Her tattoos and my mark.

"See! I told you everyone. The first princess is like her mother, a seducer and a slut!" she said. I showed my furious face and my eyes turns yellow. 'Cendrea is not that kind of person! What kind of bad reputation did this kingdom spread against her?!' The king speaks.

"What kind of humiliation is this you imbecile woman?!" he said. Her sister smirks even more.

"So...you are a princess, huh?" I mumbled in her ears. Damn! She's weak! She even trembles in a situation like this. I look at them again.

"I didn't realize that this girl is a princess. What a lucky I am then. I found such a royal mate, huh?"

"Royal? Ahahaha. A title but not even recognize as one." her sister. I smirk.

"Your one of the guests. You are a werewolf how come that you have entered the palace?"

"Oh that? Let's say I have an invitation. And also, your kingdom's protection is no longer visible. Be ready, the supernatural clans can easily infiltrate your kingdom now, king Daniel Humphries."

"What are you talking about?! The kingdom is being protected from the beings like you."

"I don't have to explain. After all, the reason why I am wandering to find my mate. I already found an interesting one." I said. I bite her shoulder and wraps my hands in her thighs and waist.

"What are you doing? Father—help me."

"Killed that beast and take that woman alive. Send her to the dungeon." he said. Her eyes became lonely and she wraps her hands around me.

"I want to leave this place. Whoever are you, you can do anything to me." she said. I smirk and step backwards on the balcony.

"You can't leave this place alive. This is a kingdom where beings like you can't escape away." the king.

"A castle protected by a witch from the three clans is now available for hunting. The curse is now lifted and your kinship will be doomed. When witch's daughter died because of your bloodline, the Dawn kingdom will also be tainted by blood. Your dead."

CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV

I still trembles when father shouted like that. I still remember how dark and cold that place where I always stay for weeks even months. The dungeon where he or the queen throws me off when I displeased them when they punished me every time they believe Gabrielle's lies.

"Let go of princess Cynthia!" George shouted. He is about to attack us when the princess held his arms.

"Sorry but...basically, she's my mate then I own her. And you dare to defy me? Your just a lowly human and a knight. Stop dreaming of taking her back. I already embark my ownership to her. If you listen to your teacher, you know the rules." he said.

I once heard this before. I look at my mark, I look at his beautiful face as well. 'They said that when a werewolf embarks their ownership with their mate...'

"You heard him George. Werewolves who put ownership marks in their mate, that person will only love him or her until death falls to them." Gabrielle.

"But if Cynthia denies him. She can ran away from being a wife of an evil beings!" he said. I suddenly smiled bitterly. Evil, huh? That's also what they said about my mother. But no matter how they told me that she is an evil witch, that all witches are evils...a part of me says that she's not.

"They said I am an evil. What do you think, hmm?"

"George. I'm sorry but...I never believe that vampires, werewolves and witches are evil beings. I'm sorry if I declined your marriage proposal. Gabrielle likes you more unlike me. Ulysses, let's leave this place. You can jump from this height without any injuries right?"

I look down. He chuckled.

"Determine, huh? No problem, my mate's wishes is my command. Bye." he said to them. He jump off from my room's balcony. I saw George and my traitors family's faces. Tears fall in my cheeks.

"That's why I suddenly wanted to back off as your mate. Are you sure you didn't want to reject me?"

"No. I can get this over. I already told you, if you let me leave this place then you can mold me to a mate that you wanted." I said. He sighs.

"You're an obstinate girl." he said.

"Take that woman back! Kill that werewolf at all cost!" father said. He sighs.

"I can't believe that I have added more enemies just to find my mate. What a troublesome. Hang in there, make sure to grab my fur tightly."

"Huh? What fur—ahhh!"

He threw me up and the next thing I knew I landed on his back as wolf. He is bigger than the usual wolf which is born as animals. After all, he's a werewolf.

We are now on the maze garden, wait—how can we end up here? We are heading on the mountain side at the backyard of the palace.

(Someone traps us here. Be ready, I can smell the scent of a witch.)

"You talk to me through my head?" I ask. He nod.

(It's a special between a werewolf and their mate.)

"I see. Stop. I sense someone in front of us." I said. He stops from walking. A woman wearing a cape is standing there. 'That is a witch.' She take off her cape's hat. My eyes widened.

"Ms. Prime? I mean aunt Clara?" I mumbled.

(You know here? Who is she?)

"She is the closest woman I have in the palace. She is a cook on the palace kitchen. I didn't know she is a witch. She is my nanny at the same time."

"The prophecy had started." she said. She uses her magic and now she is in front of us.

"Take this. Leave this place and learn to carve your own life. I'm happy to see you growing the way your mother wants for you, my queen. May magic and good fate follows you. Promise me to take care of yourself until I'll see you again." she said.

"Aunt Clara, what are you—"

"These are the things that queen Cendrea left for you. She told me that your power and your mate will be in your hands in the same night that you'll die. I saw how you fell down the tower." she said. I jump off his back and he return to his human form. She kneel down on me and raise her hand that is holding a golden box. She looks at him and he suddenly fell down the ground. I look at her and I'm about to think how can I protect him. I sat down the ground and hug him in my arms.

"Step back. I—will fight back!" I said. She smiled.

"You mother had seen this once. She said that a loyal, strong and good werewolf will protect you in your whole life. I waited for decades and tried my best not to make any reckless moves as I just watch you suffering from your own father's hands...I have so many things to tell you but we don't have time. Listen to me, the password of the box is..." she stops. She place her middle finger in my forehead and transfer the passwords through telepathy. She smiled and stood up. She look around.

"Remember, you are the only person who can open that box. Used your blood and you will meet someone. My queen, make sure that you won't lose your trust and kindness. Remember, I will find you as soon as I can. Just go ahead and never look back."

She snaps her finger and Ulysses opens his eyes. He looks at me when he saw that I am holding him.

"I just want to protect you. I thought she hurts you—where is this place?" I said and look around. We are no longer on the maze garden. We are like in the middle of a forest? I started taking a step to roam around.

"What did that woman say to you?"

"She said she'll find me as soon as she can. In this box, I will learn something and mostly she said we should go northeast and don't look back." I said. He face me.

He move his face closer that I even bend back to make the distance between us bigger. He held my shoulders and he turn himself into a big wolf again. His fury is very fluffy. His eyes are still blue and his color is like a white silver fur with a touch of black. I caress his back.

(What are you doing?)

"Nothing. It's just that seeing a real werewolf myself and how big you are? I still can't believe how my life changed overnight." I said.

(Don't be too full of yourself. I am still considering on dumping you as my mate. Get on, we still have to leave the Dawn kingdom's territory.)

"Hey! You said you need my consent to do that isn't it? It's jot my fault that you mark me without thinking. You should've made sure that I am your ideal mate." I said. His eyes gives me death glares. I gulp and hug this box.

"I I'm sorry. I knew I went overboard."

(YOU DID. Just sit on my back and let's travel away from this place! What a bad idea picking a mate in this kingdom. The heck.)

"Hey! I can still hear you. Not all the kingdom's women are fetish, weak and ugly like me. We have different kind of beauties. Name it, strong, clever, white skinned, tan and black skinned women. There are women who knew how to sing, dance, there are also women who knows how to fight and join the kingdom's knight armies." I said.

(And there is an obstinate and hard to deal women here like you. I keep on telling you to ride on my back because we need to leave this place but you keep on talking about unnecessary things! Did you forget that we are being chased and we need to leave this place in hurry?)

"Oh... I'm sorry again. I will ride now. Sorry." I said and ride on his back. I held his fur as he hurriedly ran like a thunder's flash. I closed my eyes.

(Who is the George knight?)

"Huh? Why did you ask? He is the commander of the knight army in the palace. My sister loves him but he propose to me a few days ago. Wait, why did you ask? Are you—ahh!" I shouted. He suddenly ran faster. What is wrong with this guy?! Aaahhhhhh! He stops halfway. My eyes widened when I saw skulls and bones on this pit.

"What is the meaning of this? Is this bones from humans? They must be a victim of your kinds or the vampires."

"Really? You say that? You are such a silly witch, Cynthia. You think humans are the good people alive? Huh, don't make me laugh. They're the most evil ones." he said.

"Then what is the meaning of this?"

"They're humans. I can tell by their clothes that they're the poorest and slaves. They just threw them here because they're not worth to be buried." he said.

"What? How could they do these? What kind of village are we heading to? How could they treat them like this?"

"This the last village of Dawn before we entered the western mountains. Be ready on what you will be seeing."

I accidentally touch a bone then I heard a man's voice.

"Help my wife and my children. They're in danger. Please help them." he said. His voice is begging and in pain. What kind of village are we heading? Is it a hellish village?
