The king of all wolves. He's been the guy I've been reading about ever since I was younger. It was strange to see him live in the flesh. No one other than his pack has ever seen him and lived to tell of it. In my opinion, the fact that he's not there to help us is another factor of why the wolf community has become a dystopia. He's not aiding the sulking and the suffering, he just lurks in the shadow allowing boundhunters to do their thing unless it's on his precious golden land.

If he wasn't my alpha, nor my king, I would really be giving him a piece of my mind right now. The beta bowed to the king before walking out of the dungeon without forgetting to spare me a glance. Based on the gleam in his eyes, he wanted revenge. I truthfully resisted the urge to roll my eyes and flick him off. It would make me appear childish in this serious matter.

The door made a loud noise as it was slammed close. I listened as the door clanked, and the sound of it locking could be evident. The cage was missing a door thanks to Incredible Hanes. With a special sharing of gratitude to my somewhat lack of stupidity, I sat there on the blanket and didn't even bother to move. The king was here, and I just knew that he wasn't happy. An unhappy king, makes a dead she-wolf named Xena.

"King Alpha, sir, this is all just some big misunderstanding. I was just sent out by Alpha Javier, do you know him? You should know him, great guy. He sent me to go find our luna. At first I thought he was insane, but then as I got to the neutral territory I saw an actual Luna Bound. She had red hair, pretty green eyes, but then these boundhunters were trying to capture her.

"My first instinct is to protect so I attacked the guy, but was then ambushed by some random girl, so I shifted. My clothes went like I just saw Channing Tatum, you know, poof! So, I stole the guys clothes and his weapon then asked the Luna Bound some questions. She ran off like I just asked her to send nudes or something, and I chased after her. I didn't realize I entered your territory. I am so sorry, but I am aware that you don't forgive me. So, I'm going to make this easier for you and just leave. You don't have to deal with being unforgiving to someone," I spoke before getting up and walking towards the hole Incredible Hanes had made.

He stood there, just watching me. His piercing silver eyes were on me like a hawk as I stepped out. The first thing I noticed was that he was really tall. He made me look like a shrimp. With a nervous chuckle, I continued walking towards the stairs.

As I was making my way up, he grabbed me by my throat and pushed me against the wall. "Woah, kinky," I winked.

Wanting to facepalm myself, I immediately felt regret for the words that fell out of my mouth. His lips settled in a snarl as he looked down at me. He's extremely hot, if I wasn't so scared out of my mind right now then and there I'm sure my panties would be wet. He had to have had the most prettiest face I've ever seen. The moon goddess really took her time with this one. Goddess, who was rushing you when you made me?

"I apologiz-" I screamed out as his hand moved from my neck to my shoulder. He gripped it so tightly to the point that all I could feel was pain. It was hard to not push the king, or to knee him where the sun does not shine. The disrespect would only put me in more trouble than I'm already in. He wouldn't stop, and I was so close to swallowing my pride and begging him to stop.

Before I had the chance to realize what he was doing, he popped my arm back in place. The pain was still present, but I could feel myself slowly regaining the functions in my arm. He pushed me back into the cages where I fell right on top of the blanket. I watched as the muscular man right in front of me grabbed the silver bar door, and placed it right back in its rightful position.

I'm not sure what type of voodoo stuff is happening here, but the door automatically fixed itself. Narrowing my eyes suspiciously at the cage bars, I wanted to figure it out.

"There's something odd about you. What are you not telling me?" he finally spoke in a question. A question he was asking me with a very attractive voice. He wouldn't be my choice to read a bedtime story since it would only bring nightmares. It was deep, rich, and he even had an accent to match it.

"I've honestly just told you everything," I muttered, racking my brain to see if I could find any details that I haven't already said. Not noticing that he was unlocking the caged door the right way, my mind continued to surf through my thoughts. It wasn't until he was standing directly in front of me that I took notice.

In his hand, he had the whip, or should I say the Fortsblade. It had nasty little places of dried up blood and I stared at it in disgust as he brought it up to my nose. Taking that as my cue to smell it, I did. It was coated with the nasty stench of silver, but also the heavenly scent of Luna's were present. For some odd reason, the boundhunter I killed did not leave a single trance.

Just as I was beginning to connect the dots, he snatched it away and threw it far in the dungeon. His glare was on me along with a snarl he had that began to make its reappearance. A loud growl rumbled through him. If I was in wolf form, my tail would be tucked between my legs.

"How many?" He asked. Remembering the smell of the Fortsblade, there was definitely multiple. If it was mine, I could've given him an answer, but since it wasn't-this is just going to be so much harder on me.

"I-I don't know. It's not mine," I told him, trying to back up. He only followed me like a predator stalking its prey.

"Right. It belongs to the bloody 'boundhunter' you killed," he said. I realized how idiotic I must've seemed to him. It also didn't help that evidence wasn't exactly on my side.

"King Alpha, sir, please believe me. You can ask my alpha," I tried to plead. My body wasn't prepared for the sliver knife he plunged into my thigh. The burning spread throughout my entire leg, numbing it in the process. I could hear the small sound of my wolf whimpering in the back of my mind.

"Thank you for unblocking me. I understand why you were upset, Onyxia," I told her, trying to block out some of my pain by distracting myself with my wolf.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for leaving you at a time when you needed me most," she replied. I wanted to smile at her words, but instead, I did a power kick with my good leg. He was pushed back slightly, and the weight of my body crashed leaving me to fall on the floor.

My leg was burning. I looked down to inspect the wound only, and cringed at the disgusting sight. A growl erupted from him, and he dragged me back up with my back to the wall. His eyes were switching colors between silver and gold, a battle with his wolf.

"How did you get into the Royal territory?" He asked. I was beyond confused, and if it wasn't for the aching pain my leg, I would've expressed my discombobulation. The fact that I wanted to cry out, but compressed myself to seem unbothered only seemed to make the pain increase.

"I don't understand," I stated. He looked at me like an idiot, as someone below him.

"The only way to get on our territory without granted permission from the alpha is if you're a decent of the original wolves, or-" he began, but stopped. He stared at me for a long time. His eyes searching my face as if looking for something.

"Or, or you're a luna bound," he said. I wanted to laugh, but my leg was not having it. Shaking my head, he moved away from me allowing me to fall right back on the blanket.

"I'm not a luna bound. I don't have power, you can't feel my power. I'm just a regular she-wolf. I'm not a luna, an original decent, or a boundhunter. Please just let me go!" I pleaded. The way I spoke made me sound so innocent and helpless, I loved that. Inside, I was just planning his murder for when I get out of here. That Alpha King Sir really just stabbed me in my leg like we're in prison or something. Well, I mean, we sort of are.

"You're stuck until I figure out what's going on. And trust me-" he began to chuckle so darkly before continuing, "I will."

I've never been so confused in my life. None of this is making sense. How I got here is starting to not even make sense. It can't be possible that I'm an original decent. They have a status quo that you can just feel, their aura and their smell all of which is consumed in royalty.

How did I get on their land? Maybe they had a malfunctioning in their system. That's the only possible scenario I could think of, or maybe it was all the luna bound's doing. She probably knew this was going to happen.

"Please do tell when you do," I muttered softly to him just as he was beginning to turn around. Sometimes, the need to slap myself becomes so strong. He was going to leave, but I just had to open my big fat mouth.

He turned back around to face me. I was expecting anger, but instead his face showed no emotion. He was lacking the facial expressions of an average human being and seemed to take on the look of a robot.

"Your mouth is going to get you in a lot of trouble," he spoke lowly. I looked up at him to see his silver eyes on me with that blank expression.

"It has also gotten me into a lot of good," I stated. As my words began to process in my mind, it seemed a little dirty. Maybe that was just my always need to find something sexual in almost anything.

"Rarely, I suppose," he told me. I smiled at him sarcastically before the feeling my leg began to pulse in pain. The wound wasn't healing at the fast speed of a normal infliction to a wolf thanks to the silver.

His eyes moved to my leg. I watched as he crouched down to look at me square in the eye. We were directly face-to-face. He was so close that I could smell the mint on his breath.

"I could either heal you, or leave you to bleed out right here in this cage," his accent was stronger as his face was so close. He was wearing a smirk on his as his hand reached down to touch my thigh "or you can answer my questions instead of being sarcastic and obnoxiously witty."

Suddenly, he squeezed my thigh causing me to scream out as the blood began to gush out. Instinctively, my hand reached down to grab his where I began trying to claw at it and push it away. There was a light amount of tingles that I even think he noticed. His strength was no match for me, he just continued squeezing until he finally let go after some time.

"How did you get on my land? Did you kill some luna and you have her blood all over you?" He asked. Tears were now pooling from my eyes. I felt so weak, not from the crying, but for allowing him to see how much pain he was casting upon me. It's something I've never liked to show.

"I don't know," I whispered. This wasn't a good enough answer for him as he squeezed harder on my leg. I cried out in pain, in doubt, and from how overwhelmed everything is making me. "Please, stop!"

He stopped, ready for me to give an answer. "Please, I really don't kno-" I screamed out as he continued. It wasn't until he almost snapped my leg from squeezing so hard that I kicked him with my good leg. I watched as he fell and let go. The strength that came from my leg was almost unbelievable.

He looked at me. "You're lying to me. There's something about you, I could just feel it."

Wiping my tears, I stopped my crying. Deep down I knew that the wish to return to my pack would go unanswered. I was stuck here until I give them answers that I am unsure of myself.

The feeling in my leg was slowly vanishing. I could just feel my heart beat slowing down. It was echoing through my ears like a steady beat of a drum.

"I-I don't know," I repeated. I noticed how my voice was slow and quiet. My eyelids began to feel heavy as I leaned against the wall.

"Let say I did believe you, there are still things that just don't make sense," he told me.

"I'm still- I'm still trying to piece it- it together myself," I tried to get out. My eyes began to close. The adrenaline I was sporting a few minutes ago seemed to fade now. It left me with all the pain I've been protecting myself from.

"What's your name?" He asked.

I chuckled to myself. It sounded weird next to the sound of my dying heart. Leave it to me to laugh when my life is slowly going away.

"Mutt is a really nice name," I mutter sarcastically. My eyes didn't open to see what facial expression he was wearing due to my sarcasm. If I did, I'm sure he would have a scowl on his face. A small smile made its way on my face, I love annoying people.

"Xena, Xena Astor," I answered truthfully just as my heart seemed to come to a stop and the life as I know it began to go dark.

"Xena," the way my name fell off his lips caused my heart to flutter.
