ALex nodded. *he did. But its alright. Im fine.* however, she wasnt. The Mark wasnt bleeding that bad, but it was still really bad.

He suddenly tenses. "You let the maids dress me?" He frowns, glancing at her in confusion.

Alex winced, and smiled nervously. *um... guilty?* she said, watching him and preparing to snap, if needed.

He snarls, looking away. He stands suddenly, walking out and speaking with the guards. They bow before sprinting off. He walks back in, looking satisfied.

Alex looked at him, now scared. *what did you do?* she asked, beginning to regret what she had done.

"I'm simply allowing the guards to get the maids and put them in the dungeons so one of the other guards can finish them off. Gossip spreads quickly here dear, next time don't allow other females in my quarters." He sighs, hugging her gently.

Alex went from normal color to white in a millisecond. *but... I...* she stopped, and began pacing, starting to cry. *i... I didnt know... they were just doing what I told them too...* she stopped, sat, and began crying. She whispered to herself, *i just killed innocent Lycans...* before all-out sobbing, her tears mixing with her blood from the mark.

He quickly kneels in front of her, hugging her to him. "It's not your fault, you didn't know, my love, calm down." He whispers, hugging her gently.

She whispered, sobbing, *i didnt know. That makes it worse. And I practically murdered innocent Lycans who were just doing what I told them, to help.* then she just cried, staining her clothes with blood and tears.

He quickly calls in maids to clean her wound, he sat in front of her, holding her hands gently. "My love, you are soon to be queen, you must cry for them, they may have been innocent but they knew not to. It is a rule in the castle, that's why the guards didn't allow them in."
