Chapter sixty-one(Scared)

Book:The Cursed She-Wolf Published:2025-4-7

I ran through the hallways toward the kitchen far away from Ryan, what happened between us shouldn’t have happened. It was a mistake…. What was I thinking about getting intimate with a Lycan? Not just a Lycan but the king of all the werewolves. Though I couldn’t resist him no matter how hard I tried, this time we went too far, I just couldn’t believe that I kissed him! I kissed a king.
/Wow/
Touching my lips, I grunted. This is when it even dawned on me that I just kissed him, every other time I do have a fantasy of us making out but today! I mean today it was different. Remembering the kiss causes a smile to creep onto my lips unknowingly, I touched the lips where he was nipping and ravishing me as if his life depended on them. Part of me still wants to be with him, my heart yearns for him. My whole body craves his heavenly touch but I knew better than involving myself with him will do me no good.
He is the king! The ruler of the whole werewolves. Involving myself with him will draw a lot of attention to me and that’s not what I needed. I planned to live a very quiet life but it seems like the angle turned because I am the topic on black storm pack, the rumor did me no good but harm. It created a lot of enemies for me, despite my new look I still got despised by almost everyone. The queen mother is at my neck when the other demon is at my back. I have no space, they didn’t give me any breathing space.
The hatred that Juliet held for me is so deep that she still despises me even in this new look. I have a huge grudge against her, Taylor, and Lucien which I don’t think can be easily forgotten. The pain that they caused me was still thick and raw, and it hurts and reopens anytime I get a glimpse of them. They hurt me badly which will always be stocked in my memory. But why is it that she always wants what belongs to me? Why does she have an eye for Ryan of all people? She always goes for what is mine.
Yes! Ryan is mine and mine alone, I don’t care. All I know is that he is mine, he belongs to me and me alone. I don’t share!!
Juliet doesn’t like what we have, she is just pained and angry. I love seeing her in nothing but pain though that doesn’t mean that I have to misbehave. I still have a lot of high-rank wolves who don’t like me, but I couldn’t control the feelings that I have for Ryan.
“BANG!!” Still, in my thought I heard a heavy sound, my head spins…… drawing my eyes open, and I noticed a tiny drop of blood trailing down from my head. Margaret was standing in front of me with an iron pail staring at me with a scowl expression.
“Ma……. hmmm…. ma
” Just shut up,” she yells
I felt embarrassed, I could feel the slurring stares that they were hurling in my direction. Their angry stares, and that’s when my eyes connected with that of Aria. She stood there looking at me, she had pain in her eyes when staring at me. I was snapped out of my thoughts by the angry voice of Margaret.
“Where did you go?”
I swallowed nervously when fiddling with the edge of my uniform, what do I tell her now? I just can’t tell her that I was in the hallway when they walked inside the kitchen. I can’t tell her that I was hiding with King Ryan inside the darker corner of the hallway.
“I…… I went to trash the old dusty kitchen stuff,” the word slipped out of my lips before I knew it.
“Kitchen stuff,” she arched her wrinkled brow.
“For how long?”
“Hmmm……. The thing is that I went to
” Excuse me….”
I couldn’t finish before one of the guards walked inside the kitchen, gaining the attention of every single person.
“Yes, what is it?” Margaret asked.
“I don’t know who dropped a piece of broken dusty stuff in the passageway,” he said.
Every single eye was directed in my direction, the anger in Margaret’s eyes couldn’t be mistaken. I felt like I was on the ground too. open and swallow me, how could I forget so soon that I left those items back there?
“In the passageway but I couldn’t see anything there,” Iris chipped in with confusion.
“Same,” Margaret mumbled.
“Is all over the place,” the guard uttered.
“What did you do this time around? Who sent you to trash that stuff?” She yelled.
“I…. I…….
“Speak up..!!’ She shouted, frightening me.
” Iris told me to trash those stuff,”
“Iris!….” Turning to her, she grunted. “You sent her to trash what!!”
“No! No! I didn’t send her to do anything……. She carried the dusty stuff on her own accord,” using her bare arms, she waved it all out with a distinct expression.
“What nonsense are you two saying?”
“Iris is telling the truth…….” Naomi muttered.
“She took that stuff on her own, we even tried telling her to keep it but she insisted,” Kaiden blurted, surprising me.
Why am I even surprised when they are best friends? They get to support her no matter what. I watch as Aria’s face darkened in anger, I still don’t know why she is this nice to me. Is strange and always scares me sometimes.
“I am sure that Iris would have been the one to have instructed her to trash that stuff,” Aria said with a frown.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Iris glared.
“You are not even there, so tell me how you were able to know?” Kaiden spits back to Aria with the same energy.
I felt worthless as I watched with sad eyes the bickering going on inside the kitchen just because of me, every single soul is turning against Aria because of me. She is creating enemies when siding with me, I won’t allow her to continue like this. I need to make her start the fuck away from me, I am not good news and will never be. If she finds out about my true identity anyway, she will do the worst.
“Fine! Even if Iris did tell her to trash those things, does that give her the right to dump them in the passageway? Does that seem like a refuge bin to her?” Margaret fired back at Aria.
To avoid all those mockeries and teasing smiles that everyone is hurling at Aria, I chipped in…… she doesn’t have to keep defending me, I didn’t want any entanglement with her. Yes! She is good but I didn’t think that I could say the same if she finds out about my true self.
“I am sorry for lying against Iris……. I took the stuff on my own,”
“Ohh! And I was being accused,” Iris faked hurt with a teasing smile on her lips. Aria stared back at me in shock but I don’t have time for that now. She just has to get it that I need to start on my own, I don’t need a friend that will despise me in the end.
“You bloody liar….” Margaret exclaimed.
The guard chuckled, gaining our attention. I have long forgotten that he was still there though it seems like it wasn’t only me that forgot about his presence.
“I am not here for any entertainment from you people,” he said, earning a glare from everyone except me who was waiting patiently for the punishment that will be assigned to me.
“I am here because of. …….
“Her punishment, we know right,” Iris cuts in.
“Get over with it, we don’t have all day,” Naomi snarled, earning a laugh from the other omegas except Aria and Margaret who shoot them a deadly glare causing everywhere to die down instantly. Sometimes Margaret’s behavior does confuse me, this is one person that I couldn’t understand since I stepped inside this pack.
“No! I am here because the king requests for her presence in his chamber,” he announced, everywhere went quiet.
They all have a look of shock especially Iria and her minors before their looks were replaced with pure hatred. Aria had a silly smile across her face and about Margaret, I don’t know if she is smiling or just glaring at me. I swallowed with difficulty, my heart was throbbing so fast. I can’t go into Ryan’s chamber all alone, I know what is going to take place in there and I don’t want to take chances. My hands suddenly feel clumsy as my body shudders in panic.
“But….. Why would the king want to see her?” Iris grumbled with a heated glare.
“I am just a guard, so I don’t have answers to your question,” the guard said when gesturing for me to follow him.
But it seems like luck was far away from me because trying to take a step, the kitchen door was slammed at the door. The force at which the door was slammed at the door frightened everyone, we all jerked up in fear before our eyes all widened in shock. I stifled as my eyes grew wide with my mouth making an o shape. Standing at the door was no other person but Bianca, the amount of anger radiating from her body was not hard to notice.
Her fierce eyes were directed at me, she had a look of disgust as she glared at me. “What is going on here?” Her cold voice reverberates at the walls of the kitchen, causing the throbbing of my heart to speed at a faster rate.
