Her icy voice held me in place, I felt numb as my hands kept vibrating in fear.
Her brownish eyes were as cold as her facial expression, everyone cowered in fear.
They dare not utter a word, who dares to speak up when this scary terrifying demon is in front of her?
“I asked again,” scanning everyone’s facial expression she snapped “What is going on here?”
“She…..” Iris with trembling hands pointed in my direction, Bianca’s face deepened in disgust as she glanced at me. “What about her?”
“She committed an offense,” she blurted out.
“An offense!” Bianca stressed the word.
“The king requested to see her before you walked in,” Margaret said with a faint voice.
I stood paralyzed in my spot, her face deepened in anger at the mention of Ryan’s name.
I still didn’t know the relationship between her and Ryan, why is it that she always behaves strangely whenever she hears about anything concerning Ryan?
“I requested your presence some days ago,” she coldly latched at me.
“Didn’t you tell her?” She stares back at trembling Aria.
“I…….. I……
” She did……” I cut in before she could say any word, I noticed that she is afraid, and besides, I know that whatever she was going to say is to favor me and I don’t want any of those.
“She did and you relaxed as in what?” She growled.
“I looked for you but you were nowhere to be found,” I mumbled.
“No! I ran away……. No! I hid,” she furiously laughed. “What a nonsense excuse was that….?”
“I requested your presence but you declined because I am not Ryan,” she blurted malevolently.
“Wow!” Everyone groaned before murmuring started arising. Turning around she hurls them a deadly glare causing everyone to shrink back in fear.
My heart twists at her word, I know that I looked for her for some days but couldn’t get to see her. I tried my best.
“I looked for you,”
“SHUT THE FUCK UP!!” She cruelly hummed.
I staggered at her outburst. Why is she so scary and at the same time at my neck? I did not deserve this kind of treatment, I am not the one that told Ryan to stood up for me.
Besides, she was the one that dragged me to the conference room that day despite my pleas.
I know how I pleaded for her to have mercy on me but due to her barbarity and cruelty, she insisted that I got humiliated.
“You didn’t look for me and how dare you lie in my face!!” She viciously whacks my face.
“Ahhh…..!!” Holding my swollen cheeks I clamored in pain.
Aria tried taking a step but the fierce eyes Bianca held her in a place, everyone in there was in shadow.
No one dares to make a move, who could even care to interfere especially when the person in question is no other person but me? My eyes started tearing up, pain and hurt flickering in them.
“You dirty thing,” she foul-mouthed
“You thought that you had a place here because king Ryan stood up for you!!!” She smashed me with another thunderous slap forcing me to my feet.
I let out a hurtful cry before she ordered the guards to drag me to her chamber.
“Please!!!” I screamed but to no one in particular.
Aria wanted to rush toward me but Margaret held her in place, with blurry eyes. I noticed pain and tears in her eyes.
“Is she hurting for me…? I could still feel pain in my heart, it hurts that every single one despised me.
Why! Why! Why did Ryan appear in my life? I know what I went through in my past, changing I thought that it was going to be easier for me but then! Just when I thought things were going in my favor, he walked into my life.
How am I to face these angry Lycans when I don’t have any wolves?
My heart twists as the woman dragged me out of the kitchen, the tears in Aria’s eyes couldn’t be mistaken.
I couldn’t blink the tears anymore, I couldn’t dare to control the tears threatening to slide down my face when I noticed that Aria was the only one concerned about me.
What type of luck do I have? Why does everyone always hate me? Iris had a taunting smile on her lips and with her palms folded, she glared at me.
What could I say about Margaret? She always has this emotion that I couldn’t dare to read.
The kitchen door was closed as the clicking sounds of Bianca’s heels could be heard in the hallway.
The guard kept dragging me to God knows where, and my heart tightened with each step they took.
I felt tired to continue, the guard kept struggling to drag me with him but using my last strength I maintained my position.
Wham! I felt something hit the back of my head and my left side.
The pain was hard and sharp which caused a terrifying cry to escape my lips. It reverberated across my skull, drowning out awareness of anything else and shooting stars across my vision.
With a sudden jerk I fell back hard into the cold floor, the guard stared at me with pity when Bianca had a satisfactory smile across her lips. Groaning in pain, she urged the guard to keep hauling me.
I felt embarrassed as everyone passing by kept throwing me unsettling gazes, I was being pulled like a criminal.
She walks with a victorious smile and her shoulder helplessly hanging up as if she was all over the world.
I hate it that I am easily vigorous, I forcefully blink back the tears threatening to slide down my cheeks.
I am tired of the embarrassing stares I am getting from everyone passing by. Unexpectedly, I felt the hairs on my back stand erect. I could feel goosebumps all over my body, it was a strange feeling.
This is what exactly happens whenever Lucien is around me. My heart panicked at the remembrance before I heard a voice void of no emotion behind me.
” What is going on here?”
His cold chilling voice reverberated throughout the whole place, everyone walking stopped and was stifled at their spot.
The guard suddenly let go of me, causing me to lose my balance but before I could make it to the floor, I felt a huge hand holding me in place.
Bianca had a look of disgust all over her face but the warmness of his two palms makes it hard for me to reason well. Lifting my trembling hands, I slowly placed them on top of his hands for support.
His grip on me tightened before his almond-black eyes slowly glanced at me. His eyes held me in place.
For some minutes I thought that we were all alone, I couldn’t feel anybody except the two of us. I watched as his Adam’s apple plopped up and down, the eagerness to devour his lips weaving at the back of my head.
Couldn’t control the urge again, so I bit down on my lips. His eyes darkened and glinted with desire as he stared at my lips.
Using his other hand, he parted my lips away from my teeth. Though his eyes still have the same craving for me, I love the way that he makes me feel like I am the only thing that makes sense around him.
It makes me feel special and unique though our once peaceful and quiet moment was interrupted by Bianca’s chuckling. Snapping back to reality I growled mentally in my head about the disturbance.
Getting a glimpse of everyone around us, I gulped nervously as my face deepened in embarrassment. Still, her chuckling didn’t even cause Ryan’s hold on me to be feeble.
“Aren’t you supposed to be at Queen Rebecca’s chamber for the meeting?” Bianca’s words chimed throughout the four walls of the hallway.
“What meeting are you talking about?” He questioned with a distinct look.
Shrugging, she muttered, “Didn’t you know that the Queen Mother requested a meeting?”
“I asked you a question, so you better not answer my question with a question?”
“Fine! The Queen calls for a meeting in her chamber,” she uttered with anger.
Everyone stood there eavesdropping on every single scene going on, some of them had a look of surprise seeing the way Ryan was holding me while a lot of them stared at me with disgust and hatred.
I hide my head shamefully in his chest, he rubs my back sensing my unrelaxed nature.
“Are you supposed to be cuddling an omega? A dirt slump or to be in the chamber of Queen Rebecca!” She said with anger and resentment.
My heart heaved at her words, trying to distance myself from him. Ryan pulls me closer to his body, my head hitting his chest.
The feelings in my heart couldn’t be mistaken, murmuring started arising, scaring the shit out of me.
“Where I am supposed to be has nothing to do with you and besides why were you dragging her like a criminal, have you lost it?” He lashed.
“I dragged her like a criminal because she is one,” she mumbled the word with venom as it rolled out of her lips in resentment and jealousy.
“Don’t you dare!!!” Ryan growled, startling her and every single soul.
“What…… What did you just do?” Staggering, she questioned with a bewildering gaze.
Turning toward the shivering guard, Ryan glares at him ignoring Bianca’s blabbering, “I will spare you today because she wanted me to do so……”
“Thank you, my king….” Bowing instantly, he thanked him.
“Her, not me,” pointing at me, he muttered.
“Thank you so much, Ashley….” He greeted me. I was taken aback by the mention of my name, so he knew my name.
That means that everyone in this pack might have known about me, I came to stay invisible but they recognized me before I could even adjust to the pack.
Drawing me closer to himself, he started walking away.
I peeped to scan the faces of everyone present there but the fierce eye of Bianca caused me to quickly tear my eyes away from them and walk away from the scene with Ryan by my side.
