Chapter 5

THE REGENT

SKY

"Is she the one from lord Dutton?" The woman asked the guard who was behind her.

"Yes your grace" The guard said, Sky saw how the door of her cell magically opened up. Then the woman gracefully walks towards the cell and entered it. She crouched down and gently reach out for her and touch her face.

"My,my how beautiful, very very beautiful." She said holding Sky's face turning her face side to side. The woman's palms is so soft but cold and her scent smells of minty winter air...

So soothing, Sky couldn't help but purr in delight.

"A dog who purrs? How sweet? What's your name sweet pet?" The woman asked her. She seems excited. Her warm golden eyes held no malice. It simply held...warmth.

"Sky. My name is Sky my lady." She answered watching as the woman smiled pleased when she answered, Slowly the woman let go of her and stood up all the while her gaze remained looking at her. She then held her leash and harshly tug it almost chocking her.

"Call me mistress my dear, I am the Regent of this realm, show me some respect." The regent said with a devilish grin.

"I can't wait to make you suffer and devour you soul." Sky gasped when the woman suddenly let go of the leash, she fell down on her knees gasping. She shivered when she saw dark shadows of monster appears from the wall. The woman's warm golden eyes were gone, instead it was replaced by something that is pure malice. The woman then grab her neck choking her.

"You are very beautiful. If i devour your soul i would be much more beautiful than you are. But that would be a waste. I actualy wanted to paint you with blood. Hmmm? Tell me pet. Would it be okay? If i give you some pretty scar?" The regent asked as her grip on Sky's neck tighten up. Sky couldn't breath. It's getting hard for her to breath, her eyes became foggy, she grip the wrist of the regent to try and stop her from choking her.

"What's that,?" The regent mocked her. She looked at Sky face as it turns violet before she let go of her giving her the sweet releas and a breath of air. Sky took large amount of air using her mouth to try and catch her breath.

"But if i do that. You'll be ugly." The regent then grabs her hair and then forced her to look at her eyes.

"You'll be much more better with my collection. I'd like you to be my pet. Yes! i'm going to turn you into my whore." The regent smiled sadistically at her.

"But before i do that, i need to take care of you. I don't want my pet to be skinny." She then let go of her hair. The regent once again tugged at her leash forcing Sky to follow her. The regent is very deceiving. And Sky is afraid of her. The shadows that she saw the moment the regent had shown her true form to her had scared Sky. The shadows are in a form of human with horns and hollowed eyes. She doesn't know what creature the regent is.

"By the way, let me introduce myself, i'am Regent Catherine Raevern, wife of Queen Lena Lancaster. Your mistress, never forget to refer to me as your mistress, do you understand?." Sky noded but that was wrong, the regent tug at her leash again.

"Use your words or i'll just cut that tongue of yours." The regent glared at her, Sky swallowed and answered...

"Y-yes Mistress." After hearing her response they started to walk again, Sky's attention was caught by the paintings on the wall and the armor that stands on the hall. She was amazed to see those paintings and and decor, but her amazement soon turned to fear and disgust. The paintings and the Armour were then replaced by the heads of werewolves on their beast form. She was stock in her place, she couldn't move. The spirit of the dead still lingers within those heads. Their spirits are still trap.

"What's the matter?" The regent asked, tilting her head. She watched as Sky started to sweat, she could see how her body shakes from fear. The Regent then saw her eyes. Those eyes could see what she can see.

"You could see them too? The soul of the alpha's who have been beheaded?. Their heads had been turned into these. A decoration, but no one knows about the soul that were trap in it." The regent walk closer to Sky, she caressed her cheeks.

"Don't be afraid. They won't hurt you." She said, she then drag Sky further down the hallway until they reached an oak door. The regent opened it and shove her inside, she didn't speak again, instead she just winked at her and closed the door. Sky stood there just staring at the door. Now what? She's trapped in a room unable to get out because if she did, then she will again have to face those heads.

She couldn't help but sat down on the floor and cover her ears. She couldn't get rid of the sound of pain and humiliation of the souls. They were stripped off of their titles and executed infront of their people and family. Sky didn't know how she could see what happened then, just by hearing the souls screams and pleas. She didn't even know how she could hear nor see them. But it's not the first time that she saw a soul trapped in a certain place. She remember seing a dozen of them in the breeding house when she was young. She would often ask Nimpha, the old lady who worked there as to who those souls are. Nimpha would always says that she is a very special and rare omega. Nimpha then would said that maybe she is the last snow wolf that the Goddess uses to maintain and ordain peace within their kind. Sky didn't know what Nimpha mean that time. But she would always tell her to sooth the souls by singing.

"I didn't know i have a roommate now." Sky was startled when someone had spoken momentarily the souls cease to cry and leave her at peace. She quickly stands up to see who it was. Behind her stands a woman who is slender and beautiful with dusky skin, rosy cheeks and red lips. She had a long brown hair and eyes that were....Cat like.
