Sorry for long wait. I'm just not sure I want to continue this story. Idk .

Maribell

Millions of thoughts where swirling around in my head as i slowly walked down the halls Smiling at the servants who stopped what they were doing and curtsied as i walked by on my way to the castle records room (library). I sensed when Josh came up behind me but did not react. He seemed to get the message and quietly followed closed behind me.

"Brent put you on Baby sitting duty i presume"  He smiled cheeky scratching the back of his head eyes filled with contained amusement,

"Yep. I'm also on keep Nikko away Duty" I playfully hit him on the back of his head.

"Cheeky wolf,..Just make sure no one comes in." I ordered walking into the room and locking the door behind me. The room was pretty massive. All the walls were filled with books from floor to ceiling many book shelves filled the room with two rather large tables in the center of the room. I walked past the first rows of  book shelves that would lead towards said tables my left arm raised towards the book shelves my finger tips brushing against the covers of the old leather books most if not all the books in this room were written in old latin a language Jaxton and i were taught for this sole reason. I passed the large oak wood tables and many other book shelves until i reached the cushioned window still. This had to be my favorite room in the whole castle. I had spent many Hours here as a child. Father used to retell old war stories to Jaxon and i on this very window still. He would sit on the very spot i sat in his traditional royal robes with his crown resting on the cushion next to him  while Jax and i sat on the floor listening intently to every word he said.

On thoes dark oak tables Jax and I would sit down with our tutors and learn about the ways of our people amongst many other things including old Latin. I would come in to this room when i didn't want to be found before my garden was planted. Still to this day i still preferred this room to my garden. I found comfort in between these 4 falls surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of books .

The sound of a book falling onto the floor caught my attention and instantly had me on alert.

How could i have been reckless enough to just assume i would be alone especially with all that has been going on. Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath I let my senses take over as i tried to pin point the exact location from where the sound came from before making my way over. To say I was surprised to see Nikko's mother crouching down to pick up the book would be an understatement. Then again  the sun was out and unlike most of the noble vampires she would be awake I'm sure a few of the nobles whom are used to living amongst werewolves and humans are awake as well but what was she doing in here. Now that I think about it why wasn't this room locked.?

The werewolf queen was truly beautiful no doubt Nikko inherited his breathtaking forest green eyes from his mother.Her hair was pulled back in a french braid , her dress an egg shell white with gold embroidering along the bodice and the bottom of the gown in her hand she had a book about the early 4th century boats written in old latin. I wonder if she was aware of that.

"I do not wish to come across insolent but if i may inquire as to why thy has a book on old boat building?"  She turned twords me her cheeks turning red.

"I did not hear you come in" She replied standing up strait and fiddling with the book in her hands.

"I arrived a few minutes prier not aware that another might be in here. I beg the forgive me if i have startled it was not my intention but not many people come in here.. Grandfather locks this room when we have a large amount of company over" I Stated skimming through the​ book titles.
