Stephen POV
I ran all night only stopping for food, water, and restroom breaks. I made my way to the Southern castle territory lines. When I crossed over the castle territory lines midmorning my presence was known immediately and I was surrounded within a few minutes by several Lycan forces close to the King. I knew I had done wrong but Dexter had been my best friend. I warned him and told him I wasn't comfortable but he ended up getting his way. I shifted back into my human form as to show I am not posing as a threat to them or anyone.
Soon Dexter's brother, the now King was present. He was angry and I bowed to him knowing if he wanted he could kill me right here right now.
"Rise." He commanded and I did as he told me. "What are you doing here Stephen?" His voice was laced with hatred.
