they talked and rose, then began heading to the castle, but the boy looked scared. the collar strangly began tightening, and he grabbed is throat, choking.

The guard's glare at the little girl, snarling.

Alex gasped and began pulling he collar off. With a quick cut, she pulled it off and it shrunk into nothingness.

The boy took a breath to calm down and smiled at Alex. She smiled back and hugged him, then began walking in.

The guards let her pass but stopped her brother with a cold glare, crossing their swords, creating X's in the doorway. "You don't have clearance to come in, step away." A guard demands, glaring down at the boy.

Alex frowned at them. *who said that he cant pass? Hes my brother, and Im queen. What, does he need to pass a test or fill out a form or something to be allowed in?*

"We mean no disrespect, your majesty, but the King won't allow him in. He is a rouge still." One of the guards states, not taking their eyes off the boy.

He said, *im only a rogue because I was kidnapped by them because Im homeless. Why do you think I had the collar?*

Alex said firmly, *i will stay out here with my brother. When Caspian is finished with his duties, bring him to me. With gaurds, if he has to, but right to me.*

The guard's grunt, moving aside slightly to let her pass before resuming their tense positions.

Caspian exiles her, sending her far from the kingdom. He listens to the messenger, sighing as he stands gracefully and strides outside. Four guards flank him, all glaring at the boy. "Yes, my love?" He asks, looking to his mate, ignoring the boy.

Alex sighed. *why cant my brother come in? Hes not a rogue. He only is by slavery. Hes had it harder than me. I was enslaved by an alpha. He was enslaved by rogues. It was bad.*

He said, *i was whipped, scarred, and bled. I can show you the wounds.*

The guards tackle him as he moves to lift his shirt, quickly restraining him. Caspian snarls, "I show no mercy to those who have been revealed to the rouge ways, I apologize, my love, but those are the rules. I shall not break them for somebody who I cannot trust. You must understand the pressures of ruling the kingdom." He states, glaring at the boy and waving the guards to follow him. He strides gracefully back inside, the power emitting from him making those whom he passes bow respectfully. The doors slam shut behind him
