The Spurned Heir

9

I got myself up weakly and head straight to the window, I've just found out the room was mine, I looked out through the window and the fresh air slapped my skin sending a sweet sensation over me, I admire the whole environment, everything outside this prison was great and I long to go out... It doesn't seem possible, the guards are there to drag me back after multiple beatings, it would be more severe especially now they all concluded I was a demon I hope one day, they will all know who the true demon is, the sorcerer had plans with Scarlett, they planned on the lies, everyone believed the sorcerer without a doubt all because of their hatred for me I pulled off my cloth and rushed to take a quick bath, the time was close to the lunch period, I still need to make some food for the royal family After some minutes, I was done bathing and slipped into my pink gown, one of those clothes that were my best but has been outdated... I got out of my room with a short run, I could feel my internal wound get healed at a faster rate, the cuts from the whip were also being covered with skin... I ran through the hallway but found no one, not even the guards, the few guards weren't standing, they were all moving in a particular direction, I was quite confused, why was everyone going to the hall, the hall was a venue for important issues and celebrations, I made a shrug before going straight to the kitchen, they never invited me, I am an outcast so why would dad bring me out, he had even disowned me... Why was I still calling him father, I just feel so troubled about Scarlett, how could she be a demon and lived among the werewolves and no one was able to detect her presence, I am the only one who can see it but it was more like no one because I will only receive beating if I mention it to anyone... I got closer to the kitchen and yet there was no one, I won't fall for this trap, they would all request for their food immediately it is time, If I fail to provide it, then... another round of slaps and punch... Finally, I got to the kitchen and stepped in, I got to the cooler and saw different wines, I checked the cupboard and there was already cooked food and snacks... Really??..someone cooked for me or what?? There was no one entering the kitchen except me, like who then did all these, I can't remember cooking it all... I looked around and there was no one to ask what was going on... "This can be a trap.......” I heard my wolf say to me making me so confused, like what does that means?? "Are you joking or what?" I asked looking around to even see the plates and cutleries all washed... “I sighed in relief, at least the stress of cooking for the whole Royal pack has been removed, I can go have a good sleep and rest, someone had cooked for the gathering that was going on in the hall, I'm not included and it pains but that it was better than having them around... Their presence alone makes me shiver in fear especially the demon Luna, dad is blind and I'm sure one day she would strike, A demon staying in the wolf pack means nothing but disaster, she might be a spy, she must be here for something disastrous, I pray they all find out before it is too late... Just then, my mind flashed to that dream I had when I was unconscious, fear gripped me... Could it be that she was the one to kill all my family and member of this pack?? Could it be that she would make them all go into extinction when she strikes with her members... No, I won't let that happen!! I was breathing heavily as this fear took over me. Just then, the door of the kitchen sprang open and three guards stormed in... "So it is true??!" they all chorused with their eyes widened in shock... I stared at them without understanding a bit about what they are saying, for some minute, I concluded they must be drunk and would be the reason why they are talking gibberish. "Are you all drunk?" I asked and they grit their teeth and growled with a menacing look. "The Luna was right when she said you are in the kitchen trying to poison the guest food!" one of the guards huffed leaving me befuddled as the words resounded in my ear. it sounds stupid and I could have laughed if they weren't having stern faces. "I don't know what you are talking about, I'm here to cook and found already cooked food instead, I'm even about to leave before you all came in, so what the heck are you talking about??..who wants to poison who?" I asked sneering at the men. "And we all thought the Luna was lying not knowing that she already knew the truth, bundle her up and bring her to the hall, she would be disgraced in front of the whole people out there!" one of the guards who was the head ordered and I tried resisting not until three blows landed on my cheek before... I felt weak and allowed them to drag me away. Noah's POV

I was right in the hall with my father, we both knew why we are here, everyone had come for the birthday celebration, oh yeah, like I was told, one of the alpha's children, the daughter was having her birthday so many alpha's and their members were invited, there were many respected and well know werewolf present... The music and everything was just so great, it was a well-prepared feast and Dad had decided to come not as a friend but as an enemy, He is here to check how the pack was and the best strategy to use in attacking... I don't know what happened in the past but one thing I am sure of is that my dad hates Alpha Kellen with passion but he was good at hiding it... I sat calmly enjoying the dance, the music and everything, there was a reserved seat around me and my father, it was not for anything but out of fear... My dad had been rumoured to be a devil even when many hadn't seen him killed, they were just so scared. Everything was going all well till the most shocking thing in my life happened... It was so hard to believe like I didn't want to believe it but it keeps getting strong... I blinked my eyes and sniffed, like for real, I was perceiving the scent of my mate, the sweetest of all, it soothed my heart and made me feel so great, I found my eyes roaming around... Why here and at this moment, This has happened the first time and I had shoved it out of my mind, right then I was at the roadside, I got this scent but it vanished almost immediately and I had tried to forget it, now it is here once again... I looked around looking for that lady, my heartbeat was pounding so dad and loud, there was a great urge and crave in my eyes, I couldn't see anyone or remember where I am, all that's was in my brain was to find this lady, I want to find my mate, Dad had said I got no mate, then what I'm I feeling now... My eyes were still swinging from side to side till the door of the hall opened widely... I turned my gaze to the door like everyone else but the difference was that I found out my mate was dragged in... She was the most beautiful creature on earth and her scent was heartwarming and made me shiver, I blinked my eyes continuously staring at her in great shock and dismay, I have never seen a lady like this, there were wounds on her but I swear it didn't tamper with her beauty that struck me... "This is her!!" One of the guards snorted and she has pushed to the floor in front of alpha Kellen... She fell and raised her gaze... I felt my heartache... She paused her cry and looked around, Just then, our eyes met and I felt it deep in me... She is my mate!.
