There was to be a feast to celebrate the King's arrival in Winterfell. Siena's parents had called her to speak with her before the feast. Siena suspected that she was going to be told to keep herself and her siblings on their best behaviour as not to offend their guests. She was leaving her room to go meet with her mother when she turned the corner and walked into the chest of the Lannister Lion.

"You should look where you are walking my little wolf." His smooth voice flowed out of his grinning mouth.

"You shouldn't hide around corners hoping to," She was going to continue the insult until she had just registered what he said. "Don't call me that."

"Why not? I think it rather suits you." He was peering down at her face delighting in her frustration. "My little wolf, or would you prefer my little beauty. I could always combine them, my beautiful little wolf."

"I don't really care what you call me as long as you don't call me yours. I'm sure pretty men like you are used to women clambering to be yours but I don't fall for a quick smile and flick of the hair." She did not like the aura of Jaime right now he was too smug and she felt extremely uncomfortable at the way he was staring at her. Why did he think he could call her his?

"You think I'm pretty then?" God, his smugness was unbearable. "You may not be mine yet but-" he was cut off by the jovial laugh of Siena

"Yet? Trust me Lannister I will never be yours."

Jaime bent down so his mouth reached her ear. She could feel his hot breath caress her ear that sent shivers down her spine. "Never say never my little wolf." He then stood up quickly. "Anyway you best be off to meet with your parents." With that he walked off down the hall leaving Siena open mouthed and gob smacked. That utter prick she thought to herself. How does he even know I have a meeting with my parents?

"Sorry I'm late I just had an infuriating run with" Siena froze mid-sentence when she saw the King standing with her mother and father. "I'm sorry my Grace I did not know that you were attending." She curtseyed quickly.

"It's fine my girl, relax." The king said as he poured himself a goblet of wine. "Please sit." Siena looked to her father with confusion but he only motioned towards a chair for her.

"Siena I'm sure you know that King Robert has offered me a position in his court as Hand of the King. He has also suggested that Sansa and Joffrey should marry as to cement the bond between our two families."

"Yes father I have. I still am confused as to why I was summoned here.

"Well your mother and I have decided that it is best if Arya makes the journey to kings landing with us so she can learn the ways of being a lady." Siena looked to her mother and father to smile, Arya wasn't going to take kindly to that. Her father inhaled. "Furthermore you will be coming with us as it is time for you to be wed." Siena's eyes widen in shock at what her father had said.

"Father."

"You know that it is time for you to marry."

"Yes but why do I need to go to the South for that. I thought I would marry a Northern and stay here." Her heart was starting to race in her chest. She looked to her mother for answers but she just offered a small smile in return.

"Siena, we have found a suitor for you in the South." Her father's expression really caused her to panic, he looked solemnly at her and was uncomfortable with what he had to say.

"Who is it?" Her voice was meek and barely escaped her mouth. Her father opened her mouth to speak but did not say the words.

"Seven hells Ned the girl needs to know." The king rolled his eyes at her father's expression. "You'll be marrying Jaime Lannister."

Siena's face dropped and her heart went into overdrive. Panicked thoughts rushed through her head. "What, how? He's a kingsguard he's taken vows." She thought she must be hearing things wrong.

"I'm releasing him from his vows. We need to tie your families together and you're of the right age. I'm not happy to get more Lannisters in the world but it must be done." The king was getting irritated at the girl.

Siena looked to her parents hoping to see them laughing like they had just played a great joke on her but instead she just saw solemn faces. Jaime Lannister. She was to marry Jaime Lannister! How could this be? She could feel tears bubbling up in her eyes and bile in her throat. She had to get out of here. Jaime Lannister was a smug arrogant prick who delighted in the suffering of others. Oh gods, their encounter in the hallway, he knew. He was parading himself in such pride. 'Never say never my little wolf.' The words were spinning around in her head.

"I-I have to excuse myself." Her voice was shaking. "I have to check on my siblings." She heard her mother call out after her. "I will see you all at the feast tonight."

She ran down the corridors not knowing where she was running to. She just had to get away. She found herself at the stables crying into her horse before she realised that she had stopped moving. Tears were streaming down her face and sobs fell from her mouth. She looked to her horse and at the openness ahead of her. She could do it. She could jump of her horse and ride, just ride. Get away from what she had heard. Maybe if she ran away the Lannister's wouldn't want to marry her. She grab a saddle to put on her horse when she heard footsteps behind her.

"Siena?" Her brother Jon's voice echoed from behind her. "What's wrong, why are you crying?" he put his hand upon her shoulder to turn her around. Looking at her with his soft brown eyes, she fell into his shoulder.

"Jon I can't do it, I can't leave my home. I can't marry him, why can't I just stay here?" her words came out flustered between sobs. "I don't want to do it."

"Do what, Siena, who are you marrying?" Jon sounded shocked; her hadn't heard that Siena was getting married. She looked down at his sister on his shoulder and wanted to make it all better. He hated seeing her so upset. He knew his sister and it was not an easy to make her this upset.

"Jaime Lannister." Suddenly Jon ripped her off his shoulder. She looked at him in fear, did he hate her already for what she had to do? He picked the saddle up out of her hands and put it on the horse.

"If you need to ride then ride. I will cover for you." He looked at her with sympathy in his eyes.

"No you won't." A voice bellowed out. Jon and Siena turned around to see their father in the entrance of the stables. "Siena, my love, I need to talk to you."

He walked towards her. "You can't ride off; every member of the guards will be out searching for you. Many people would be unhappy – or worried. You need to stay and accept your duty. I know how you feel, trust me." She could see sadness in her father's eyes. "I fought against this but the King has decided upon it. I know it's not what you imagined but there are worst people out there than Jaime Lannister. I will be with you the whole time, you will not be alone."

"But father, I'm scared." She fell into his arms.

"I know my love, so am I. We will make it through, we are wolves from the North and we are not scared of the Lions of the South."
