The Spurned Heir

Liam's POV,

"Where is the maiden!!!!!" I thundered at Donald who had sweat all over his face, his body shivering as he kept opening and closing his mouth without saying any word.

It has been up to two hours since I sent for the lady who knew where Evelyn and my child was, the lady who gave me hope and reason to smile.

I couldn't sleep well last night because I was thinking of meeting Evelyn finally, words can't explain how elated I was when I woke up to find out it was morning already. The first thing I did was to order for her to come over immediately.

I had been all smiles waiting for her not until I heard she was missing. I was never going to believe that but after two hours without seeing her, my heart won't stop thumping at the nightmare becoming reality.

Just when I was thinking of meeting my heartbeat and child, all this rose from nowhere, I can't even tell if the child should be a boy or girl.

"Donald, go out there and bring her in, she is the only person I want to see, no one else, even if she doesn't want to see me out of fear or anything, let her tell the location, no matter where it is, I'll go there!" My voice went from high to low, I'm confused, at this point I regret not forcing her to say it last night. I was stupid!"

I think she ran away to hide the truth from you, she must have promised Evelyn never to tell you and she wants to keep her promise so she ran away!" Donald suggested and I threw a sharp look at him as his words struck me hard.

"It was the truth and I have never thought of that, the woman has taken the rail of leaving instead of spiting the truth to me, but there is no way a Weredragon can ever leave out from this territory except someone with greater power helps her!" I huffed thoughtfully.

"I'm also confused at how she left, I'm sure she isn't anywhere around here, the guards had ransacked the whole place!" He sighed.

"Someone helped her to leave or she got the power to break the restrain" I hissed feeling sad that she wasn't found like for real, she wasn't found at the very moment when she should tell me what I had longed to hear, but why would she do this to me knowing how much I love Evelyn.

"We would keep searching, I don't know how she left, she must be very loyal to Evelyn" he sighed.

"Go and search for her, she must be found, if she isn't seen in the clan, then I would personally scour for her everywhere outside the territory!" I gruffed with a hiss.

He bowed and left, I lay back to the bed hissing continuously, just then the door opened and I sat up to see the Beta Trump.

"Have you seen that maiden who knew where my child is, she also knows where Evelyn is, have you caught a glimpse of her this morning?" I asked abruptly while he made a shrug sitting on the couch over there.

"You made a huge mistake of allowing her to go back last night, you should have forced the answer from her as that was your last chance, she is gone and would never return here!" He stated leaving me shuddering. "What do you mean?", I huffed getting angry at how pessimistic he was,

"What I meant is, forget about her problem Evelyn because i don't think there's hope anymore, we have lost the chance of finding the truth", he said.

"Trump!!!!", I yelled his name raising my brow in exasperation,

"What?", he responded with an arched brow.

"Why do you sound so negative?, how sure are you that we won't find her?...what sort of word are you using!", i scowled and he chuckled.

"Well, i think I should tell you since you are unaware...", he paused and shrugged.

"What the fuck are you saying!", I scoffed.

"Okay, I'm sorry for the way I sounded, it was because i felt so bad at what i saw yesterday, i wish there was a way to stop it but the speed was too much", he muttered. "What speed?", i questioned.

"Evelyn took her away after knowing you might force the secret out of her, last night, i saw her take the woman away", he said leaving my jaw dropped as i stared with a popped eyeball, my gaze was on his face waiting patiently for him to smile and tell me it is one of his random jokes.

I waited but yet his face was still grim and stern, he looked damn serious.

"You saw how Evelyn took the woman away...how??", I asked with a deep sigh.

"I was shocked to the bone marrow before i could try to stop them, she was gone already...and i think Evelyn doesn't want to have anything to do with you for real, the last thing she would want is for you to find her or her child, that must be why she came to take the woman away", he sighed and I felt my heart shred in pain.

This was the fear I was not going to accept, Evelyn doesn't hate me and wants to meet me, it can't be that she doesn't want me to meet her, but if Trump was saying the truth, then, it means Evelyn hates me!

But why?

"I guess you shouldn't let that trouble you, there is a lot on your table, you have the dragon clan to take care of, let Evelyn be", he snorted and i made a short laugh.

"You can leave, I want to be alone!", I ordered and he left immediately.

As much as I want to doubts his words, it is the only hypothesis to why Alexa the maiden is missing this morning.

Evelyn has the power to come and leave hete without anyone finding out, it was part of the powee i gave to her when we were in love, never ever did i know she would use it against me. Why does she hate me?!!!

What was my crime?...after so many years, she was not going to return to me!!!

Hot tears warmed in my eyes, the thought of never finding Evelyn was shattering my heart, just now when I thought there wad hope, everything became messed up!

I hissed and shut my eyes allowing the memories I shared with Evelyn to take over my mind.

I had been running for hours and finally paused to catch some breath, I badly needed rest before i lose breath, i had been running out of fear knowing my life would be terrible if someway somehow, Liam finds me.

Not just for Trump's threat but that of Liam would be more terrible, he would conclude that i lied and tricked him.

It wad morning already, i had run all through the night and was feeling hot,

Just the moment I sat down to take some rest and enjoy the cool breeze, my nostrils got a strong scent, the scent of a demon, the type that makes every creature tremble.

My brow arched as I looked around trying to trace where the hell it was emanating from, I began to walk closer to where i guess the scent came from.

My eyes widened at what I saw, it was like i was having an illusion, i don't want to believe my eyes but the more I pinch myself, the more i get to find out it was happening for real.

The woman standing right in front of me was Scarlett, the same woman who caused Evelyn all the terror she had gone through, the very reason Evelyn ran away from Liam, i have heard some rumour that Scarlett joined the demon clan, Evelyn also told me that a demon attacked her while she was pregnant.

It was after that she stopped talking to me, the tie was severe, i won't have believed Scarlett joined the demon clan if I hadn't seen her with the Demon King, she was with the demon king and they were hugging tightly.

I was transfixed as the reality dawned on me, the demon who attacked Evelyn while she wad pregnant was Scarlett, she was the only woman who had deep hatred for her.

The scent of Demons were also emitting from her body, I swallowed every lump in my throat as fear began to dawn on me, Evelyn might have been dead, killed by Scarlett.

***********

Scarlett's POV,

I was so elated that I won't stop running, i badly want to get to the pack and end it all, Layla and Noah caged into the room was going to make me rule over the pack.

I can't wait to laugh at them, Just when they thought they have won me, i was going to strike back unexpectedly, my threats were gone,

Damian should wait for me, he was also going to face his death when I'm done with the Shadow Pack, with the help of Liam, I'll kill him.

With the face of Evelyn, I'll tell Liam that Damian had caged and tortured me all these years, he would kill him angrily and ruthlessly.

No one can ever stop me from winning...!!!.

Finally, after some minutes, i was right inside the pack, my face was full of smiles, the joy of winning was making me go crazy, I would keep laughing at myself,

I walked straight into the Pack house which was silent except for the banging sound, I smirked knowing where it must be coming from, Layla and Noah must have found out they were never going to come out. "The Luna is back!!!!", An announcement was made immediately i got into the sitting room, The Alpha walked down the stairs followed by all members, like the Beta, the Gamma, their mates, and the head warriors. My eyes went to each of them with a smug look,

"Scarlett...what is happening i don't understand anymore?, tell me what is happening inside this packhouse", Dolph asked with his tone exuding pain and confusion, his expression showed how hopeless he was. "Scarlett...Layla and Noah can't leave that room, the door locked them in there all of a sudden, no one knows how it happened, the key lock is strange", he muttered with a deep sigh as he slumped on the couch. "Stand up from that couch now!",I ordered with a glare leaving them all shocked, Dolph was more shocked at how i threw the order at him.

"What are you saying?... and you got to explain to us how you got the dark magic of the demon which made you to disappear, no werewolf can do that except they are demon!!!!", he howled and I burst into laughter leaving them more confused.

"How dare you laugh at the Alpha?...have you gone nuts?...apologize now!!!", the Beta yelled at me and I swung out my hand over the air causing a huge force that hit his cheek like a slap making him fall heavily on the floor. The others took the stance to fight me and I giggled at the weaklings especially the Alpha who was the weakest of them all, he could only stare in deep thought.

"Allow your Alpha to fight me", I shunned them all turning my gaze to him,

"Do you know what you are saying?...do you want to die??", The Gamma thundered angrily and i hissed, walking closer to the Alpha who was speechless.

"If you don't stand up from that couch, I'll kill you!", I huffed and he flinched, everyone darted their gaze at him wondering what was happening, they must be wondering why he isn't fighting back, why he isn't yelling threat, why he was all dumb without retorting at me.

They can't see he was a weakling already, my pauper I guess...

"At the count of three, get up from there if you don't want to lose your miserable", he gruffed and he shut his eyes taking a deep breath that showed how heartbroken he was, but i don't care, I'm here to destroy everything Evelyn has including him.

"You will regret this when the Alpha loses his patience!", the Beta's Mate said to me and I mumbled some laughter. "1...2...",

"I'm up!!", the voice of the Alpha resounded and everyone gasped in great shock while i smirk.

"You all should follow me to the hall", I ordered and they were feeling reluctant not until the Alpha took the lead...

I won't stop smiling at myself feeling glee.

"Don't dare to question her order!", I heard Dolph warn them.

"What are you saying?...this lady is your mate, you should be possessive over her, deal with her for ordering you around!!!", the Gamma howled.

"We can't do anything to her, absolutely nothing and mind you, she isn't my mate, she is a demon!!", he stated and I chuckled.

He had known but its late already.
