Chapter 49
“Can I ask you for your presence in my room when the palace would be in a slumber Ms. Meredith?” This was the question I was asked by Catherine when she appeared at my door. More like ordered it and left without listening to my answer.
After a lot of thinking I made the decision of letting the poor have my great presence. Making my way towards the room, I knocked on the door. A very polite voice answered ‘Enter’. Even her voice sounded more matured than my behavior.
I entered in the room to see Catherine sitting on a sofa across the window. The room was lighten up with moonlight. She really looked beautiful, where the moonlight was falling on her and complimenting her beauty. Deep down in my heart I felt that she was the perfect choice for him.
Catherine:
Me:
“Please have a seat Ms. Meredith.” She patted the seat beside her. I made my way and instead of sitting beside her, took a sit on the chair set beside the sofa. What? There are more chances of me being accidentally murdered by an angry shewolf.
Without beating around the bush she asked me the question I dreaded the most. “What do you know about the King?” Why dreaded because in these many days I still wasn’t able to know anything about my crush. Eventhough I had somehow managed to fall for him, I still wasn’t able to know the real him. He had covered himself such that even if someone tried to dig in they would come out empty handed.
“Nothing?” my answer was silence for her question.
“How can you become his queen, when you can’t become his painsharer?” Somewhere she was right. Her words had pierced my heart.
“Do you want to know why he was about to reject you the very first time he met you?” Somewhere even I was curious about this. Did he hated me that much?
“This all started way before his birth.” I didn’t interrupt. She took it as a sign to continue. The past King who was actually the Alpha of a major pack which ranked 14 in top 15, found his mate. His human mate. He hated that the moongoddess had given him such a weak mate.
The girl had grown in the pack itself as she was rescued by a warrior family from the borders of the territory. She knew everything about the werewolf world, the pack and the inner secrets as well. Somehow she was able to get the wind of being the Alpha’s mate.
The Alpha met her and ordered her to leave the pack and instead return to the human civilization. She straightaway refused him as she had grown in the pack and would not be leaving her present life behind. Angered by her disrespectfulness he forced himself on her, which lead her to be impregnated by his majesty. She tried to keep it as secret but somehow he got a wind of it.
The day the child was born, it was forced away from the girl. It was kept with its father as the future heir of the pack. Soon the Alpha married another girl. A very powerful shewolf. She had a daughter from her mate who had mysteriously disappeared. He chosed her because she belonged from another powerful pack. The girl tried a lot to meet her son, but the Alpha had made every provision so that his son wouldn’t ever see her face.
One night she was successful enough to sneak in and take her son with her. She ran in the woods. She just wanted to keep her son safe, afterall she was a mother. But that night destiny had something else planned her. She was brutally raped by men and beaten to death in the silence of the dark night in front of her 3 year old child. The child had seen his weak human mother raped by men and beaten to death. He saw his father smirking behind the shadow of the trees. He saw his step-mother laughing.
That’s how this all started. He had covered himself from the world at the mere age of 3. He wasn’t the bubbly laughing boy everyone loved. And still today he is standing here as a very strong King. He never cried after that day. He never smiled after that day. Blank face, dead eyes. This was the person he had turned to. Tell me how could he accept a very weak human as his mate. As his Queen . As his Luna and as his painsharer. How could he depend on you when you can’t even depend on yourself?” The tears had dried. Swollen eyes were left to see. Without uttering another word I left her room.
It all has ended to where it had started.
