Chapter Eighteen

"Werewolves?" Taehyung asked and turned his head towards Jungkook.

"We've met them before" Namjoon said,  he didn't seem too tense. Unlike the others.

"Isn't that--" J-hope began to ask,  however Jungkook instantly interupted him.

"Yes" Jungkook said,  and everyone turned towards him. He was clearly becoming increasingly angry as he looked at them. I noticed one of the Werewolves staring back at him whilst the rest looked at me.

"Is he the one that scarred you?" I whispered to Jungkook,  so that only people on the table could hear me. He nodded,  and continued to stare at the younger werewolf.

"A werewolf did that to you?" Taehyung asked as he pointed to the scar above Jungkooks cheek.

"Taehyung,  it never healed,  only Werewolves cuts don't heal for us. Didn't you learn anything?" Jin questioned,  and looked slightly astounded by the fact Taehyung didn't know that. To be fair,  I had forgotten about it,  it's not something I particularly dwell on.

"I'm not a tutor,  I'm not anything actually" Taehyung said,  and was taken back as he thought about how he didn't exactly have a job.

"You are on the council though" I said to him,  still conscious of the eyes on me. Taehyung shrugged slightly.

I noticed my mum move away from the group,  beginning to move towards us. 4 out of 5 of the Werewolves watched as mum walked towards me. However one wouldn't stop looking at me, staring constantly. I'm going to be honest, he made me feel ridiculously uncomfortable as he stared.

"Alexa,  Taehyung and Namjoon,  can you follow me please" she smiled to me. I nodded instantly and stood up,  holding Namjoons hand as he followed me. I walked behind Taehyung as he followed our mother. She signalled for the others to move,  and they obeyed her. Only then did I feel his eyes tear away from me. I held Namjoons hand tightly as we followed,  he knew how I felt. Of course he did. That's what sealing a bond does, deepens any connection we had before.

As we continued to walk,  Namjoon rubbed he's thumb against my hand to calm me down slightly. I could tell we were going to George's office. I'd never actually been inside it,  only knocked on it when I was younger to get my mum when I needed her and couldn't find Taehyung. I was still intimidated by the size of the men in front of us. Namjoon was tall,  but they were taller and a lot bigger than anyone here.

Once we got to George's office,  everyone entered;  the Werewolves on one side,  the elder vampires in the centre and me,  Taehyung and Namjoon opposite the Werewolves. I would wonder why they were here but I have a feeling I knew.

"So she's the Princess?" the main werewolf in the centre spoke,  his voice was deep,  really deep. He looked atleast 6'4 with dark tanned caramel skin. He was incredibly broad and muscular,  he didn't look very old,  maybe late 30s. Werewolves didn't live as long as us, they were as mortal as humans. But they had enough children to keep them going,  that was one thing I knew.

"Yes,  that would be me. Who are you?" I asked, and let go of Namjoons hand,  trying to look a lot more confident than I was.

"Jace,  your majesty" he said and nodded slightly. I nodded back, I was shocked out how polite they were towards me,  Werewolves notoriously disliked vampires. Everyone knew that. His attention changed towards Namjoon,  his face no longer looked as friendly,  but irritated.

"Namjoon" He sneered,  his muscles tensed as he looked at him. Namjoon also began to tense next to me. I placed my hand around his wrist,  in an attempt to calm him.

"It's good to see you" Namjoon replied,  raising his eyebrow. Jace let out an irritated laugh.

"Well I had to come and see the traitor son of Lee,  alongside his Princess lover" Jace retaliated,  Namjoon took a step forward and moved in front of me slightly.

"I have to give it to you,  I wasn't expecting it" the youngest looking spoke, he was the one that had attacked Jungkook before,  leaving him with the scar. His complexion was a lot lighter than Jace,  similar to mine. His hair was also longer,  long enough for him to be able to push it back easily and tuck it slightly behind his ears. He looked a lot friendlier than the others,  but he was still huge like Jace. Maybe not as big.

"And you are?" I asked as I looked at him,  in fairness, I wanted to know more about him. It would make sense since he and Jungkook had history,  and Jungkook had been growing on me recently.

"Mason" he replied and smiled to me. I nodded and moved in front of Namjoon,  they didn't seem all that bad if I'm honest. Although, I can imagine they weren't like this when they were angry though.

"Have you just come here to see Namjoon,  or is there another reason? I'm pretty sure it would be a pointless journey if that was it" I said and smiled,  Jace laughed slightly and nodded.

"We came to see you,  your highness" he said,  I really didn't like him addressing me like that.

"You don't need to call me your majesty or highness. Alexa is perfectly fine. So what did you want to see me about? Don't you hate us?" I asked and moved over to the chair beside Taehyung and sat down in it. Jace followed me and stood in front of the chair.

"We do hate vampires your right. But we can tolerate your group. Quarter Moon,  on the other hand. We cannot" He said and looked over at Namjoon who just smiled. I don't think he was completely aware of how much Namjoon disliked Quarter Moon himself.

"I can't disagree with you there" Namjoon laughed,  causing Jace and the others to stare at him.

"Are you coming to offer us help?" I asked and crossed my legs as I leant back in my chair. I hoped they were,  we could do with Werewolves. I'm not even sure if we had other groups helping us yet.

"Are you going to destroy Quarter Moon?" Jace asked as he stared down at me.

"That's what I hope on doing. If I don't,  I'll die and they will take over. Is that what you want? Because they will kill hundreds and thousands of innocent lives because they can" I said,  irritated at the thought of what Quarter Moon would be capable of.

"I like the sound of that. How do we know you are really the Queen though? No werewolf as seen a royal descendant in 180 years." Jace said and looked at me intensely. I rolled my eyes as I pushed myself out of the chair.

I walked in front of them and smiled slightly. I slowly closed my eyes as I felt the sensation of drowsiness take over me for a moment. As I regained energy, I brushed my hair away from my face as I began to open my eyes to them. Revealing the purple,  beam from my eyes. All 5 of them gaped as they looked at me with widened eyes.

"Is this enough proof? Or do I have to cast a spell on you?" I asked and raised an eyebrow as I looked at them.

"Can you actually do that?" Mason asked as he continued to gape at me. I began to laugh and shook my head.

"As far as I know,  I can't do that. Not yet anyway,  we still have time before I find out if I can or not. Maybe during the full moon I'll end up unleashing all my powers" I said sarcastically.

"You know the full moon is tomorrow right?" Taehyung suddenly spoke. I whipped my head around to him as fast as physically possible as he spoke. Honestly,  I don't know what I would do without him. I never bothered to keep track of the moon,  I probably should.

"Is that a bad thing?" Jace asked and furrowed his eyebrows together as he looked at me.

"It just means her eyes are purple throughout the night and she can't control it" My mother suddenly said and smiled at them.

"What about the powers you have?" Mason suddenly asked, everyone turned to him. Apart from Namjoon who just looked over to me instead.

"What do you mean powers?" Jace asked him. I noticed that the other Werewolves didn't really seem to talk at all.

"Each Queen has different abilities, like witches" Mason explained,  I couldn't help but laugh slightly over the knowledge he had about me. The others seemed completely confused.

"I did some research before we came here. I didn't exactly want to come here not knowing anything" Mason explained,  Jace just rolled his eyes and nodded.

"I still have yet to discover more of them. But for now, it isn't any of your business" I said and raised an eyebrow. They all just seemed to nod,  like obedient dogs.

"Now if you don't mind,  I would like to finish eating since I haven't eaten today yet." I said and smiled,  George and my mum smiled at me. I looked at Taehyung and nodded my head towards the door, signalling for him to follow me as we walked out and I took a hold of Namjoon.

"I like her" I heard Jace comment as I walked out of the room. I couldn't help but produce a small smile, it wasn't everyday that you encounter Werewolves,  nevermind have them like you too.

We continued to walk back towards the canteen,  mainly in silence. I hope no one had drank any of my blood,  I was starving and I needed something in my system. I couldn't hear loud sounds of laughter or talking,  I could hear some,  but it wasn't loud at all. As I opened the doors,  all eyes were on me,  like they had all been waiting for me to come back. I realised that my eyes were still purple,  but I didn't mind.

"What's going on?" someone shouted from the other of the canteen,  I wasn't sure exactly who had shouted it. But you could tell that everyone wanted to know the answer to his question.

I cleared my throat slightly, and moved forward. I place my arms behind my back and kept moving from the heels of my feet,  to the balls of them. I looked at all the faces staring at me,  including my friends.

"The Werewolves wanted to see the future Queen" Taehyung said for me and smiled at me slightly. I smiled back to him,  appreciating him taking over.

"Is that it?" Yoongi shouted,  as he stood up from the table.

"No,  they wanted to know what I planned on doing with Quarter Moon." I answered,  and stopped myself from fidgeting and moving too much,  and started to attempt to stand still.

"They wanted to know if,  I would get rid of Quarter moon,  if and when I become Queen and take the throne" I admitted,  and raised my eyebrow at everyone.

"And?" Jin shouted,  everyone looked towards him,  before looking back at me.

"I said yes. We can't let Quarter Moon go on any longer,  not how they are now. I plan on destroying them all as soon as I can." I stated,  causing an uproar of shouting and celebrating. I stepped back slightly as I watched them all.

"Are they going to help us out then?" Holly asked,  causing everyone to quieten down again.

"I believe so" I said and everyone went up into an uproar once again. I felt two arms wrap around me.

"I'm so proud of you" Taehyung said into my ear as he squeezed me tightly in the hug. I smiled as I hugged him tightly back. All my life,  all I wanted to do was to make my mum and brother proud,  and for him to say now that he was,  meant everything to me.

"You are the best brother I could have ever asked for" I whispered back to him before squeezing him tightly again and letting go.

I took hold of Namjoons hand as he began to walk back to our table. I noticed my bowl was still there,  without anyone drinking from it. As I continued to walk forward,  I noticed them all stand up from their seats and walk towards me. Engulfing me and I giant group hug. I couldn't exactly breathe well with all of them around me,  but I let them have their moment.

"I love you guys,  but I can feel my lungs deflating" I said,  using the last gasp of air that I had left. They all instantly let go of me; Jin started ruffling my head,  then Jimin and the Yoongi. I'm pretty sure if any of my descendants saw me right now,  they'd be shaking their heads.

"I didn't eat your food,  you should be proud" Jin laughed as he sat back down at the table.

"I am proud,  it's a first" I laughed and started to feed from the blood. Everyone else had clearly eaten their food whilst us three were gone,  meaning they quietly watched us eat.

"What were they like?" Jimin asked and learnt forward on the table and placed his hand underneath his chin.

Honestly, if I was expecting anyone to have the same kind of bond that Yoongi had,  it would have been Jimin. Actually,  I always thought that Jimin and Yoongi could have had something since they literally spent all their time together throughout the night. But I suppose you can't predict the bond.

"Different,  they weren't particularly friendly but they weren't mean either" I replied,  as I finished feeding from the bowl.

"They were a lot nicer than I remember them" Namjoon said towards Jungkook and J-hope,  who nodded. J-hope laughed lightly,  before looking back up at Yoongi,  who was already staring at him.

"What did you do to them? I mean you must have angered them if they attacked you?" Jin asked Jungkook,  who took a deep breath in,  and looked over to Namjoon.

"During the night,  whilst most of the males were out hunting. Lee decided that,  to try and get them to join alliances with Quarter Moon,  taking hostage of the woman and children to try and "trade" with them,  was a good idea" Namjoon said, I rested my hand on his knee as he spoke. I looked up at him as he spoke, he seemed pained.

"We didn't know until the day,  since we heard a bunch of woman and children shouting" Jungkook said,  before letting Namjoon continue.

"Can't the woman change?" Jimin asked and Jin rolled his eyes. Honestly,  I feel like Jin should just teach us all at this rate.

"Yes,  but when Werewolves change,  they aren't fully conscious of what they are doing. So, it was too risky to change with the cubs also being there" J-hope explained to us, he wasn't smiling brightly like usual.

"Werewolves aren't stupid,  and they bond in their own way. So as soon as they realised something was wrong. They came straight to us" Namjoon continued to explain.

"They fought to take back and protect their people,  and we had to fight back" Namjoon shrugged. I squeezed his knee slightly and leant my head onto his shoulder. I could tell that he was ashamed of it,  but I could understand why they did it. They had to,  they had to protect their people too,  even if they didn't agree with them.

"You had to fight back" I said quietly,  and Jungkook and J-hope nodded sadly.

"It's over now,  we have them to help us get them back" Taehyung responded,  causing Namjoon,  J-hope and Jungkook to smile at him sincerely.

"I'm tired" I said quietly to Namjoon as I continued to lay my head on his shoulder. I could feel myself falling into unconsciousness as I closed my eyes.

"Come on princess,  let's get you to bed" he cooed,  I lifted my head as he moved off of his seat and picked me up. I was too tired to care about people looking at me.

I had to preserve all the energy I had for tomorrow's full moon.
