Chapter 21
Fenrir POV.
“I need to get the hell out of here,” Draca complained in my head. “I need my source of energy” he whined. “I need to f**k someone!” He moaned in my head.
“If you could stop whining!” I shouted at him and stared into the eyes of the lords that were seated and waiting for what I had to say. “I am in a meeting!”
The meeting had started five minutes ago but I still couldn't understand what I was doing there or why I was there. When I tried to engage in the conversation, I said things that I should never say. “What is the purpose of the gathering if it's centere on me?” I asked and the lords all looked toward me. “What about the lady that I am supposed to get married to? Where is she?”
They had been talking about the marriage proposal for hours but I haven't seen the bride that I was supposed to marry yet. There were five lords in the throne room with me and I knew each one of them as something to say. Lord Jared's daughter who was to get married to me probably had an agenda and I knew that's why he wanted his daughter to become the luna Queen. I could easily refuse to accept the marriage but that only meant that I will get an earful from Romeo and since it was the only way to stop the sudden attacks on the werewolf, I had to get married to her.
I found their ideas stupid and unrealistic.
If my hunch were right then it only means that the humans were behind the attacks but the werewolves were too blind to see ut. They all wanted me to get married to someone that wasn't my mate. “You are making a mistake,” I could still hear Monster whisper in my ear the first time he had heard about the marriage proposal. He had tried to force me not to accept but I had no option. I had to agree to their demands since they all contributed to my success as their king. They were also responsible for helping me get revenge on the humans and without their help, I wouldn't be where I was today.
* Without further ado, may I present my daughter lady Angelica the new future luna Queen,” Lord Jared announced his daughter's arrival. Once the doors opened, a woman walked in and I heard Draca purr in my head.
just how many women does he want? I thought.
When I looked at the woman who had walked into the throne room, I was mesmerized by her beauty. Her skin was white as snow and her hair was a long jet-black. she was dressed elegantly in a green dress that hugged her figure, especially her hips.
Her white breasts almost spilled out of her dress and I wonder why she would go to such lengths just to please me but, merely staring at her was enough to get a reaction from me. my c**k twitched and I shifted uncomfortably in my seat.
“I want her!” Draca growled in my head. “I want f**k her not for her energy but to bury our c**k deep into her” The way Dracz said those things made my c**k hardened and when the girl came to my front, she knelt revealing her breast and I quickly averted my eyes to avoid her seduction.
I wasn't going to let Draca control me. When he tried to say something, I blocked him out of my head.
"It's so great to see your Highness,” the lady raised her head to face me and I was drawn by her beautiful hazel eyes and hes sharp jawline.
" Remember you have a mate,” Monster reminded me.
I knew I had a mate but she was someone that I could never be with even if I wanted to. Lorena was a human and they woul never accept her. No werewolf would accept a human as their Luna queen and I intend to hide her identity and just let her continue to be by my side until I am freed from Draca once that happens, I could also get rid of Lorena.
“Rise I said to my future luna Queen. “What is your name?" I asked her.
"Iam Angelica," she flashed a smile at me as she introduced herself. I didn't return the smile and just stared at her. “I promise to serve you all my life,” she was already saying the vows even before hearing that I had accepted her. I love how humble she was unlike Lorena who was a feisty woman.
Why was I comparing her to Lorena? I had no idea.
“Is she to your liking your Highness? The way Lord Jared said it makes it sound as if he was selling his daughter and I find it disgusting. I glared at him and when he saw the look on my face, he quickly lowered his head.
" The wedding ceremony according to the moon goddess traditions will take place, ” I announced and Lord Jared laughed.
* Just 50 you know, you will regret not listening to me,” monster growled in my head and I blocked him block from my head. " When is the wedding going to take place, your Highness 2" Lord Detroit asked.
ignored his question and instead look toward Angelica once again. She was still on her feet with her head lowered to the ground. she seems like the obedient one with the way she was acting and I couldn't stop comparing her to Lorena who was quite rude I wonder why I was comparing them both again when I shouldn't even be thinking about Lorena who hated me and wanted me dead.
“Your Highness, when should we start preparing for the royal wedding? ” Lord Detroit asked. ” According to the astrologers, next week is a great week,” he laughed and the other lords nodded their heads in agreement.
I eyed him suspiciously wondering why he was so bent on knowing the date of the wedding. With his attitude and words, I believed that he must have a hidden agenda and so I decided to lead him on.” And why are you so keen on knowing the wedding arrangement? ” I asked him.
Lord Detroit smiled at me and stood up from his chair. “Your Highness, I am just concerned about the affairs of the werewolves and it says a lot of werewolves have been dying. I believe we should move up the dates for us to avoid more death.” The way he said it made me grip the arms of my chair and I wanted to strangle him until he was out of breath. Pretending to understand him, I smiled and then stood up. I walked towards lady Angelica and took her by the hand. “will you be pleased to have a walk with me as my future Luna Queen?”
Angelica lowered ahead and nodded in response. I took her by the hand and lead her outside of the throne room while ignoring the mutterings of the Lord. I was going to communicate the date of the wedding to them later but for now, I wanted to get to know Angelica and see if she was fit to rule as the Luna Queen.
I00k her outside of the mansion and then headed towards the garden. While walking towards heading the garden, she triec to engage in a conversation with me but I had my inner thoughts. I wondered if what I was doing was the right thing because I had a mate and for werewolves, A mate is to be together with the one she fated to forever. I shouldn't be thinking about Lorena at all but I couldn't just keep her out of my head. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head and I stopped walking. “what is going on?” I mumbled.
“Your Highness are you alright?” Angelica asked and tried to touch me but I slapped her hand away and I looked up to face her.
“Iam fine,” told her and noticed that the pain had disappeared as quickly as it came.” It was just a little pain," I assured he with a smile on my face. “Do you like the garden?” I asked her as I pulled her towards the garden. While she considering wha to say, I thought about the pain I had a few seconds ago. Where did it come from? Why was I feeling like that?
“Your highness, I.” Angelica was cut short as I heard someone screaming for me.
"Your highness! Your Highness!" I heard the voice coming from behind me and when I turned, it turned out to be Miss Donn the personal servant of Lorena. I wondered why she had come to meet me and the only thing that I could think of at the moment was that something had happened to Lorena.
When Miss Donna tried to get close to me, the guards behind me tried to stop her but I gave them orders to let her move closer to me.
“Speak!” I ordered her.
She fell on her knees and lowered her head. “your Highness, lady Lorena is in trouble as we speak,” she announced.
Atfirst, I didn't want to answer her because I knew that Lorena was supposed to be suffering and once she was tired of that, she could come and meet me and beg to be taken back as my concubine. “Your Highness, she is on the brink of death,” she sniffled. “I tried to stop madam Ruth but they wouldn't let me.
“What are you trying to say?" I asked her and let go of Angelica. ” what do you mean by Lorena is on the brink of death?” She heaved a deep sigh. “Madam Ruth who you put in charge of Lady Lorena asked that she is to be beaten until she dies.” “And what was her crime? " I sounded as if I didn't care but deep inside me, I was burning in anger and I wanted to destroy those who had dared to hurt her.
* If my mate dies then you know that this is because of you,” Monster shouted in my head. I knew that he likes Lorena because she was his mate but Lorena was responsible for her suffering.
" Your Highness," Miss Donna tried to explain what happened between Lorena and Madam Ruth but I couldn't hear anything as I felt a sharp pain again and this time, it was more painful than the first one. I rubbed my forehead and moved closer to Miss Donna.
“Tell me where she is right now?" I asked through gritted teeth.
“Your Highness, she is in the slave quarters,” Miss Donna answered and I didn't wait for the rest of her reply as I rushed towards the slave quarters that was at the west wing of the Mansion. As I rushed towards the slave quarters, Monster whinec in my head again. ” This is all of your faults!” He accused.
* How is it my fault?" I asked him. “She was being disrespectful and the only way to put her in her place was by doing this. I didn't do anything wrong!”
"Well this is getting interesting,” Draca decided that it was time to laugh.
“This isn't funny exclamation!” Monster and I both said at the same time.
"Well it is because I get to join in the fun,” Draca a
Laughed like a maniac and I rolled my eyes at his stupidity.
