Chapter 79
“Do you understand?” Lady Rosa repeated for the third time and I still avoided her gaze, “Why do I have to see when they are unexpected guests?” I questioned and that made Lady Rosa rush up to me with a frown and pull my chin up aggressively as she stared deep into my eyes that I could feel pain.
“You better get ready before they move to have breakfast.” She warned with a voice more like a whisper.
“And who is to tell me what to do?” I replied with a frown and aggressively pushed her hands away from my chin before standing up.
“I can take good care of myself and you don’t have to involve yourself in my matters. Do you get that? I am not crippled and if I would remind you I once took perfect care of myself before you came and started treating me like a fake princess when I am the queen!!!” I yelled in anger, left their scene and walked directly into the bathroom. I took a shower on my own and stared at the transparent door in front of me to make sure they all left before I came out and to my surprise, they walked out.
“Assholes,” I muttered and immediately I recalled my intimacy with Luther and that made me more pissed as I turned on the water to very hot, making sure to burn my skin till it was red as I hoped it would wash away Luther from my skin.
I came out and my dress and shoes were already ready even with the hairpin and accessories I was meant to style myself with.
I picked up the dress and it was worth more than any of my dresses, “why do I have to dress so expensive to see those betrayals and lowlifes.” I muttered before carefully putting on my dress and every other thing.
“And it looks so beautiful,” I muttered before walking out of the bedroom with my head up high,
I walked through the hallway with confidence and even the guards were amazed by how good I looked.
I took a deep breath and adjusted my dress before opening the door slowly to see Isabelle and Kade talking. Alpha Rozan and Alpha Federico were chuckling with all the brides in their formal seats with my seat still very vacant.
I stepped in and everyone’s eyes turned to me kade was unable to even blink and Lucy scoffed, Alpha Federico had a wide smile on his face with proudness evident, I bowed at all of them before slowly walking to my seat which Alpha Federico pulled out for me before I got there, I know I was supposed to be happy that he was treating me like a queen but I knew any little mistake from me could lead to being beaten up almost to death which I wasn’t ready to witness.
“Azalea,” Isabelle called out to me as I turned my gaze to her, a fake smile on my face.
“Isabelle,” I called back at her and not even for once gazing back at Kade who couldn’t stop staring, just then my gaze fell on Alpha Rozan who stared at me weirdly for a little while before standing up and opening his hands widely.
“You won’t come and greet this old man who missed you so much?” He said to me and even though I could sense it in his voice that he wasn’t happy with me I still stood up and hugged him tightly even though it was for a short while I felt how distant he had become from me and faked a smile before taking my seat, I knew this meeting wasn’t just ordinary and something was about to transpire.
Lucy had a weird smile as she ate her food and for some weird reason the other brides avoided my stare like something was wrong, I decided to take up the courage and ask why we were summoned for a meeting.
“Why were we called here?” I asked Lucy to drop her spoon and look shocked.
“Azalea, your family,” Lucy warned with a tone hunch that seemed like she was only looking out for me.
“Why are you calling my name, I only asked a question, and besides they abandoned me,” I said loud enough for everyone to hear.
“Azalea, quietly be quiet as we wait for the table to be complete then we can begin the meeting.” Alpha Federico said to me with a calm voice which I knew would definitely have consequences later on.
I looked at the only vacant seat left and knew it belonged to Luther, I held my breath as Luther walked in as he dressed so elegantly, I am sure his father also instructed him to dress that way.
“Sorry for coming late,” Luther said before taking a seat and still not staring up at the guest but just as he took his seat his gaze fell on them.
“Is it our guest?” Luther asked and I could tell that Isabelle had fallen head over heels for Luther.
“Yes, they are our special guests as families of Azalea.” Alpha Federico replied Luther who nodded in understanding.
“You mean the people who abandoned him and sold her to you,” Luther muttered.
“Luther!!!! Shut up!!” Alpha Federico yelled but it was of no use since Luther had already said it.
“Let us begin the meeting while we have breakfast.” He added and all attention was back on him.
“You called me a few nights ago and told me your daughter here was having nightmares which were terrible and you believed Azalea makes use of … black magic.” Alpha Federico said, making me drop my spoon in shock.
“Black magic?” Lucy said before I could say anything and I knew this thing wouldn’t go right anymore.
“What do you mean by black magic?” I asked, making sure Lucy wouldn’t say anything.
