Please Help, My Princess

Melody’s POV ‘No wolf?’ I thought for a moment. “So you are Prince Luca of our kingdom here in North America, right?” I asked. He chuckled and nodded. “That is the only thing you have to say?” He asked in return. I guess most people draw a lot of attention to the no wolf part, but that is not true. He has a wolf and I can sense him. Faintly, but he is there. “Yes, because the other is clearly false.” I said, shrugging my shoulders. He let out a dry laugh, as if he didn’t believe me. “You have been nothing but kind to me all night, you don’t need to be any longer. I know that having no wolf, despite being the prince of the werewolves, is hard for any normal wolf to swallow.” I glared at him. “I am not just being nice. I can feel your wolf. Something is keeping him sealed away, but he is there.” I state clearly and directly. “Plus, I am far from normal.” I cross my arms over my chest. Which is true. Artemis and I do not yield to the alpha command like others. For some reason, it has no effect on us. The only time it works is when all three of our fathers bellow in their alpha tones at once. That is the only time any alpha command works on us. It has been that way since I turned 15. It was just more apparent when I got Artemis. Even though we did not have our wolves, at 15 the other senses in our bodies heightened for my brothers and I, as if we already shifted. We were stronger and faster than any other wolves our age. Our gifts even seemed to increase. My brothers and I became the strongest in our pack a few months ago since we shifted and gained our wolves. Uncle Rico, Uncle Nathan, and Uncle Brandon have all lost to us in practice. Mama, Aunt Shianna, and our dads have had to train us since. Another difference between me and other she wolves... is that my wolf, Artemis, is just as big and powerful as my brother’s alpha wolves, Apollo and Thor. Because of this, Artemis and I got singled out a bit. Not in a cold outcast way, but others would look at us differently. Some loved us and some were scared. My brothers and I may be strong, but we were raised to be kind and understanding. Most mistake our kindness for weakness, when that is far from the truth. The smell of something sour in the air pulls me from my thoughts. I turn to see Jayde walking our way from the ballroom doors. “There you are. I brought you some werewine, Luca. Though I am so sorry dear. I wasn’t sure of your age so I didn’t grab a glass for you.” She said while giving me the fakest smile I have ever seen. Before I could answer her, I felt something tugging in the back of my mind. ‘Artemis? Is that you?’ I asked. I felt her stir. ‘No, someone is calling out to us. A creature needs our help.’ she replied. ‘Ok.’ I turned back to the two in front of me. “Excuse me for a moment. I need to mind link someone.” I politely said and sat down on the bench behind me. “Oh, alright. I will wait for you to finish.” Luca said. I nodded. I closed my eyes and allowed myself to fall deeply into my mind. There I could picture my wolf perfectly. She was a massive shimmering white wolf with very deep blue eyes. Though in the light, her eyes always look like they are glowing. ‘Alright Artemis, let them through.’ She nods and I feel the wall in our mind fall. There I see a sandy brown wolf that was not even half of Artemis’s size. The wolf took a few steps towards us and bowed her head in respect and submission to Artemis and me. “Princess, thank you for connecting with me.” The soft voice came from the wolf. I never understood why supernatural creatures called me ‘princess’. I heard my dad call mama that as an endearing nickname. Aunt Shianna and Aunt Sabrina have called me since I was 10, but even if I never met them before, the inner souls of creatures call me princess. Every inner wolf, bear, and few vampires that I have spoken to all call me that. Artemis just tells me to go along with it, that it will become clear when the time is right. She says that a lot, so I don’t think about it anymore. “What distressed you so much, that you wanted to link with us?” I asked. This wolf seemed very unhappy. She whimpered and lowered her head even more. “My name is Roxie. I am Jayde’s inner wolf.” Artemis growled lowly at that girl's name. Artemis was always fair, so for her to automatically dislike someone to continuously growl, even at the mere mention of their name, has me more curious about Jayde’s true character. Roxie whimpered even more at the discomfort of Artemis's aura. I pet Artemis on her neck to calm her down. “Artemis, just because Roxie here is unlucky to have her as a human doesn’t mean she should feel your wrath.” I cooed softly. Artemis calming down and Roxie feeling more comfortable, continued speaking. “You truly are pure and kind, I wish I was lucky to have a human half as kind as you. All Jayde and I ever do is fight. She calls me a mutt and mongrel sometimes.” Ok, now I was pissed. What kind of supernatural being would downgrade their other half like that? I know no one is perfect, hell sometimes Artemis and I argue, but we always work things out. That is what two souls in the same body are supposed to do. “I felt your true presence when you grabbed her wrist. You are the only one that can save the prince from her.” Roxie said with fear and panic in her voice. “What is she going to do to Luca?” Artemis asked. “She has been giving him a potion that seals his wolf away, even more, to keep him from ever finding his true mate. Plus, it will sway him into her bed tonight. She wants to be queen…” “So she is trying to ‘baby-trap’ him into making her his chosen mate and queen?” I growled out. I felt my hands clench at my sides. Roxie nodded. “It is in the wine she brought him. Save him before he drinks it. Please, my princess.” I waste no time, leaving the back of my mind, I return to the real world. I snapped my eyes open and see Luca was raising the wine to his lips and about to take a drink. Quicker than a rattlesnake, I grab his hand to stop him. “DON’T DRINK THAT!” I roared, not even thinking that I was using my own alpha tone on the prince. Then I snapped my eyes from his confused look to Jayde’s face. Her face was mixed with fear, from my tone of voice, and anger from stopping Luca from drinking the wine. Luca suffered not only physically from her misdeeds, but publicly in the eyes of the whole supernatural world. I think she needs a taste of her own medicine.
