Chapter 14
As I headed to the palace, I had a huge smile on my face, my heart thumping in excitement because it was just the perfect. time for the letter to arrive.
No one will see the child in my stomach as one from the vampire son. It would be a huge blessing to have the heir to the Lycan kingdom in my stomach, and once the news reaches Lucian, he will surely run back here to take me home.
I was going to be his wife officially, and adding that we felt a mate bond together, there was no way it would go the other
way.
As I entered the palace and saw the faces of my father and the elders sitting here, my smile faded, and it was all replaced with confusion and anxiety.
Why don’t they look so happy, just like me? If what I was thinking was what was in the letter, then my father should be grinning from ear to ear now, knowing his rejected daughter will become the wife of the most powerful man on earth.
Our pack will be highly respected after becoming part of the Lycan family since they will also merge with us and help with supplies and protection.
Why are there deep sadness and anger written all over their faces and these eyes glinting with fury? Why is the air here tense as if something really terrible had happened?
“Go down to your knees!” My father commanded me, and I was still hesitating a bit out of confusion, which made one of his guards charge at me and sweep my feet off the ground, leaving me landing heavily on my buttocks.
“So, as you’re told, you traitor?!!!” He roared, venom in his tone, and I knew at that moment that my hope was mere dreams and never reálity:
I obediently went to my knees, rubbing my buttocks that were aching.
“What were you thinking?” My father began, his breath fast and rough, showing how much he was fighting to control the urge to finish me up.
“Did he deny me?” I asked soberly, tears already brimming in my eyes.
“Take it and read for yourself!” He seethed and flung the scroll to me.
I quickly spread it open, and my eyes couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I kept reading and rereading because I wasn’t going to believe it was all happening in real life.
Lucian bluntly denied ever seeing me that night and said he would have killed me like others if he did see me break his curfew order. He went as far as to warn me seriously never to use his name as an escape and promised to kill anyone who dares it again. He ended the letter with a ban on our pack sending him any letters.
“Is this really from Lucian?” I mused while staring at his signature as my hands trembled and my l*ps shivered, drops of tears hitting the paper.
“You really thought you could lie against the Lycan king and he would flow with it? You must be really overconfident! The voice of Diana came in as she made her way to the throne and sat beside my father.
“So you were with Kraken, the vampire prince? When did that relationship start under my nose? What do you both plan for the future?” One of the elders asked, and I turned to him.
I swear with my life that I haven’t seen Kraken before, nor do I have anything with him. I was with Lucian. I don’t know why be is denying it! L…

Chapter 14
“You claimed that you both had s**, while he didn’t even accept having seen you. We lost our members who were outside that night, so there is no reason he will spare only you if you were also out. It is clear you were in that hotel with the vampire prince. What other lies do you have to tell, you evil child?” He thundered, standing up to his fist..
“The reason he didn’t kill me was because the moment he touched me, he felt a strong mate connection. He could smell a mate scent from me, but our skin contact gave him an overwhelming mate sensation which…..
“Oh my gosh! I can’t believe this girl sees us as cowards!”
“She is really weak at telling lies, yet she won’t stop!”
“God, this girl is unbelievable.”
All these words from the elders as they snapped their fingers and growled in anger and irritation….
“So you claim he felt a mate bond with you, yet he sent this letter of denial? Do you see us as fools? Well, I will show you we aren’t. My father lashed.
“And she is also pregnant with the vampire son. Diana finally dropped the bomb, and there was a dead silence all over the palace. Their widened eyes were filled with disbelief and rage.
“Selene, you are pregnant??” My father gasped, his teeth bared, as he stepped down.
“But not for the vampire son. The child is….
I was unable to finish my statement as a hot slap from him landed on my check so hard that I fell heavily on the floor, a sharp cry leaving my l*ps as the wrenching pain burned my ch*ek.
“You evil child” He roared, kicking me hard in the back.
“We can’t allow her to stay with us. She has to be banished immediately before she brings curses to our land. I have your baby and heir to the throne, so she is useless already! Let’s whip her and send her away.” Diana chipped in.
“I will definitely do that. I might be forced to kill her with my bare hands if I keep seeing her in this pack. I regret all the days I acted as her father, providing for her needs without knowing I was harboring a curse on my land. He bawled, his voice echoing in my head, including that of Diana, who was adding more fuel to the fire.
“You two, give her 12 lashes on her back while I make arrangements for the banishment ritual” My father added with so much hatred in his voice.
I tried begging, but it seemed as if I had lost my voice. Sweat and tears smeared all over my face, and my heart was pounding so hard and fast that it was hard to breathe.
I was in so much pain deep inside me. The betrayal by Lucian hurt me the most. He just destroyed the little hope I had for a better life, and now I would be banned and die with his child.
There was no way I would be able to survive there when I would become a rogue with no pack to call mine. There are a lot of dangerous beasts out there looking for someone to devour, and with my rogue scents, I would easily attract them.
I was still brooding over my miserable life when I felt the strong grips lift me up and set me on a table. With my hands and Jegs held tight, I couldn’t even move.
Then the lashes began, each stroke burning my skin like it was being smoldered. I screamed. I cried in intense pain, my body shaking violently, but the strokes hever stopped.
My entire back was sweltering, and the pain was so unbearable that I got tired of crying. I couldn’t even hear my own voice, and I was losing my breath.

Chapter 14
When they were done. I could barely move my body without feeling the sharp pain grow more excruciating
No one cares as they pull me up and drag me outside, and before I could know it. I was standing in front of a crowd of people that hail gathered in front of the royal packhouse after it must have been announced that I was about to get
banished
They must have all known what I did, or what I was actually accused of, as they made an uproar and outrage the moment.
they saw me
All the familiar faces and those that had once been my friends were now like great enemies, as they all wanted one thing. and that was to never see me again
They all chanted calling me a curse and a traitor. The pain in my heart was more than every other pain because I grew up this pack as the princess, only to end up like this
It would have been better. I died with my mother and the rest. This new Luna had a mission to destroy me, and it was just working out perfectly fine, and there was nothing I could do to interfere
I stood like a stick while the ritual was being made, and the wry smile on Diana’s face was really obvious. Her eyes had that victory glint
Just as the ritual came to an end. I felt it inside of me. The connection I have with this pack was severe, and it felt like I was a stranger who had just visited. Even whatever mind link I had with my father vanished.
the Alpha of this pack am here to banish you from this pack. You no longer belong here, and the land rejects you. Wander and seek refuge in other lands because this pack has cut ties with you forever!” The man who bore me spoke out loud and clear with no single remorse or retrain in his voice.
He even seemed to be happy that I would be no more. I don’t know if he was under any spell, but all I knew was that this man would be really excited if he heard one day that I had been killed.
As soon as he was done, five guards led me away, with the entire crowd following behind and chanting, clamoring, and some throwing pebbles at me.
It was obvious in their tones that this was what they wanted. This was what they had been deceived into accepting
Diana is here to ruin this pack
Something stirred up inside me as they led me roughly like a thief. The stir was weird and strange, something I hadn’t felt before. It was as if a beast moved inside of me.
My body became hot, and I was feeling as if there was someone with me who didn’t hate me, like the crowd and guards.
“Don’t be sad, they will suffer for it” I heard the voice loud and clear, making me turn back sharply and look around in
“Hey, keep your head well! A knock followed as the guard shunned me.
“Hey, I am inside you I am your hybrid beast, but I haven’t been unlocked yet” The feminine voice came again, heartwarming yet powerful in all aspects.
“Redly”” I puped.
“What is “I tried having conversations, but it seemed to vanish again, and the safety I felt left with it, drifting me back to my brutal realary
Gring the hill and reaching the huge gate that was the boundary, it was opened, and out I saw myself, followed by an unseen force that pushed me further away from the gate as soon as it was shut in

Chapter 14
I was left all alone in the dangerous, thick Amazon forest, ready to become prey to the first predator to sense me.
