A loud banging on her door woke Neveah up immediately from her sleep. Her eyes shot open and she sat up, startled. She glanced around the room for a moment to try and ground herself, and to determine what time it was. She figured it was around noon. She had only been asleep for five hours or so, and because she had fallen asleep on the sofa, her body felt slightly stiff. She stretched and grabbed her cell phone for a moment, only to see there was a text.

[color=0054a6]"Hey it's Aerendyl. I know you're probably asleep by now so just wanted to make sure this worked and to say have a good sleep. See you when I see you. :)"[/color] it read. 

Neveah added his number to her cell and another few bangs on the door followed.[color=f7976a] "Okay hold on a minute!"[/color] She growled slightly, annoyed at the abrupt awakening, and swung her door open. Lucius stood opposite her and he looked furious. Neveah raised a delicate eyebrow up into an arch, and stared at him.

[color=f7976a]"Don't even start with me Lucius. I know what this is about, and it is not your choice nor your kingdom."[/color] Neveah said. 

He snarled at her and stepped forward so they both were in her quarters. He slammed the door behind him and grabbed Neveah by her shoulders, shaking her roughly. 

[color=a187be]"What are you fucking thinking? Bringing a mutt into the kingdom! He's going to murder our entire population! Not only that, the poor fuck has imprinted on you. I could smell it just walking toward your quarters! Tell me you didn't..."[/color] Lucius hissed.

[color=f7976a]"What do you mean imprinted? I've barely even spoken to him..."[/color] Neveah said, her voice having gone from annoyed to shocked. [color=f7976a]"Are you sure?"[/color]

[color=8882be]"As sure as the full moon."[/color] Lucius stated. "[color=8882be]Deal with it, or his head will be upon the stake. Before we all are."[/color] He gave her one more look before turning away and leaving. Neveah hadn't even noticed her hands shaking until she glanced down at her cell phone, which slid out of her hand and onto the floor with a thud. For a moment she wished her meetings with Lucius could be fun and happy, instead of angry. Once she picked up her cell phone, she texted Aerendyl back.

[color=f7976a]"We need to talk. Meet me in the garden at sunset."[/color]
