I am nervous!
Breath….. Breath, I kept whispering to myself. The atmosphere seems awful and disastrous which had me at the edge. I wiped my sweaty palms on the faded denim jeans that I borrowed from Aria.
Calm down, this is going to be easy………You have to calm down, you can do it. I thought murmuring to myself, trying to convince myself that I will be okay but deep down. I knew quite well that I am freaking out with these two demons in front of me, Queen Rebecca, and Bianca.
I am not even half wavering because of Juliet, she is the least person that even freaks me out. The only thing that clouded my mind about her was nothing but pure hatred and wrath.
“Calm down, you can do this……. You have done it hundreds of times, this is not the first time that you are standing in front of them so relax,” I kept murmuring the word but not too loud.
The bickering going on between the mother and Ryan was loud which then attracted Liam’s attention towards them, he stood there attempting to stop the alteration between the mother and son while the two awful girls were busy hurling each other a deadly glare. I stood there hooked not knowing what to do, Aria was still in the same spot since then.
My eyes narrowed in confusion as I questioned whether they didn’t notice her presence or mine all this while, still, in my thought, I heard the venomous voice of queen Rebecca.
“And who is this rascal standing beside you?”
Her cold voice snapped me out of my reverie state, I was dazed in shock not knowing how to react or respond to her question. This is not the first time that I have spoken with her but I still feel nervous and scared around her. She has this devillike aura clouding around her.
“I asked again, who is this thing here?”
Staring at me Juliet’s face widened in happiness as her eyes glimmered with a hint of mockery in them. A look of disgust was wavering on Bianca’s face and eyes.
“Who she is and what she is doing here has nothing to do with you?” Despite how calm and cool the words rolled out of Ryan’s lips, there was still a hint of anger in them.
“I have every right to know because she has no business here!”
“And what if I said that you have no right to know anything…… Anything!” He stressed the last word with gritted teeth and irritation in his tone of voice.
“Calm down, Ryan, you are talking to the queen mother…… Your mother,” Liam whispered to him.
I couldn’t believe the scene in front of me, the lingering smile on Juliet’s face has long been wiped off and replaced with bitterness. I mentally smiled, the way that she thought no one would have my back. Why is she still after me even after everything she stole from me?
The hatred she had towards me is deep and thick for her to still despise me even after my transformation. She always craves what I have, yes! Ryan is mine and mine alone. Though I don’t want to get tangled with him, I think I have to use him since using him will mean getting a reaction out of Juliet and having my revenge carried out quite well.
“And you!!” Veering around, Queen Rebecca glared at me frightening me. “What are you still doing here? Get the fuck out of my sight, you dirt pieces of trash!!”
I quickly sped at her words towards the door without a second thought but I felt a manly grip around my wrist holding me in place.
“As I said, she is not going anyway!”
I subconsciously swallowed at his words, what does he think he is doing? This is queen Rebecca that we are talking about, a vicious and cruel creature.
“Can’t you listen to your mother beside it is an eyesore to see you hanging out with this thing, come on…….
” Don’t you dare!!” He growled madly, shaking the place a bit. I shuddered beside him but he held me in place. Bianca wanted to speak up but seeing the way that Ryan was changing into a series of colors, she instantly shut her lips noticing that Ryan Lycan is struggling to take control.
“What about you that snatched your friend’s mate?”
“He doesn’t deserve her!” Juliet glared.
“Ooh! But you do……..” He slurs teasingly. “The last time I checked you are not the supposed Luna, you stole the title but so bad you and that cripple trash deserve each other,” he snapped.
Opening her mouth to talk, Juliet closes it instantly as no words seemed to be coming out. She looked down and embarrassed, lifting her head a bit, my eyes connected with that of hers and a lingering and teasing smirk curled up my lips. Her eyes stone mine in nothing but bitterness and resentment. Bianca had a mockery smile across her lips as she stared at Juliet. The two looked like enemies all of a sudden, I bit my lips as I felt Ryan’s finger brushing my palms. I know that he was doing that to calm himself a bit.
The touch was so soporific and gracious that for some minutes I forgot that I was standing in front of the demons who would want to slash off my head at any slightest opportunity.
Queen Rebecca held grudges in her eyes, her facial expression caressed in a deep frown as she hurled death glares toward me. I have this feeling that things are going to be too hard for me from this moment onwards, everyone had an angry look except Liam who was shocked and confused at the same time. Ryan has succeeded in dragging me into the limelight, just tell me how I can avoid these ogres here. The image of the three of them plotting against me makes me tremble within.
However, Queen Rebecca’s words yanked me out of my dazed state.
“I hope that you know what you are getting yourself into,”
Ryan nodded with a tight lip but why do I have this feeling that this question was directed at me? The way the words sounded rang in my ear and I knew the next thing that I was about to encounter, especially when Ryan dragged me with him and walked away from the scene, the look on their faces couldn’t be mistaken. I gave Aria a quick glance before exiting the room despite the hated glares boring a deep hole at the back of my head.
