CHAPTER 14

Leah's POV

As I watch King Alonso’s car disappear father and father away from me it makes my blood boil. My blood even boils more when I think of the fact that Alora is in the same car with him and she is probably frolicking around with him. I induced her heat, she must probably be throwing herself at him and he must probably be touching her body by now. It could have been me!

He chose her instead of me! How dare he!? How dare  she!? How dare the both of them!? They both made me look like a fool. I'm standing here watching my chances of becoming the queen of the Alistair Kingdom slip away from my hands like fine sand because of that worthless omega wolf!

“Get out of my sight!” his simple words had sounded in my ears. He dared to talk to me as  if I am a common werewolf who is nobody in the pack. Even his Beta was trying to explain to him the nature of my status in the pack to him, but he didn't care. Instead he made a mocking remark about me

The memory of how he dismissed me feels like silver on my skin. Although I have never felt silver on my raw skin, I can assume how it feels like on the skin, because I always hear Alora scream so loud whenever mother locks her up in the dark room and chains her to a place with silver. Yes, there. I know how silver feels. No one has ever dared to speak to me that way before. Who would even dare!? My father would have them killed if they ever did. But King Alonso's situation is different in a lot of ways

First of all, I like him. Secondly, my father respect him so much and thirdly, his Kingdom is far greater than our pack- we stand no chance against his mighty Lycan warriors

I clutch Alora’s purse tighter in my hands as I remember how easy it had been to take it away from her. That stupid trusting hug I gave her after she drank from the spike glass of drink. She didn't see me. She didn't see or feel how my fingers touched her body and then found the purse hidden in her gown

Opening the purse angrily,  I count the money in it- it is more than I expected from her poor self. She must have been saving up for months to get this. I wonder what she needs this big amount of money for. Lucky me, her phone is inside here too. I let a smile cross on my lips as I think of all the ways I can use her phone against her

“Leah…!” I hear his familiar sound of that stupid voice I hate now and it makes my skin crawl. I don't even bother turning around to look at him in his stupid face

“I don't like your behavior tonight. It was completely unacceptable and unruly,” he says with anger in his voice. “You left me standing there, while you chased King Alonso like you are some kind of desperate…”

“Oh, please shut up, Lucas!” I turn around finally to face him. I am letting all my frustration and anger explode at once at him. “You know what, I am so, so sick of your constant chiding and lecturing! You act like a fucking old man! Do you think I wanted this engagement? You think I wanted to actually marry you? You of all the members of this pack!?”

I can see that his face is getting really pale , but I am not even going to bring down my temper for him. He pokenoses a lot and this is exactly what he should get

“The both of us know that this whole marriage thing is my father's idea. He wants the perfect alliance- I mean who wouldn't want an Alpha's daughter and the promising young warrior to get married? But guess what? I am that person that doesn't want it to happen!” I am screaming now. “I am so, so, super,  fucking tired of pretending to want to be with you!  I never wanted you Lucas and I am so disgusted at you! You are appalling to me to say the least”

A small crowd is gathering again in front of us and looking at us. Lucas stands there, his fist balling in humiliation as his cheeks are turning from pale to red. Yes! I want him to feel how humiliated I felt when king Alonso rejected me

“If that is how you truly feel, thank you for saying this…” he says in a cold voice. “I think we should reconsider this arrangement and probably end it”

“End it please! I would be the happiest she- wolf in this pack,” I snap back, already turning away and leaving. I don't have time for his stupid drama.  I have bigger problems to deal with- I have to make sure that  KingAlonso is mine

I drive home and when I get there my parents are waiting in the sitting room for me and Alora

“Where is your sister?” mother is the first to speak

I pretend to be in shock.  I squeeze my face like I am in disapproval of what I am about to say. “ Oh, mum, you wouldn't believe what happened tonight! This is so embarrassing! Alora has finally disgraced this family!” I'm sink into the nearest armchair like I am collapsing in embarrassment,  just to show my drama more

“What happened?” are father's simple words to me

“Alora went into heat at the ball! Right there in front of everyone, she started misbehaving. She could not control herself at all. She was throwing herself to all the men. I tried to help her, but she even hit me!” I feigned tears in my eyes

“She did what!?” Mother's sharp voice comes almost immediately after I finish speaking. Mother is raging now

“The worst part is that she practically threw herself at the king… king Alonso,”  I continue, watching how their faces darkening. When I am satisfied by the amount of their rage, I continue to speak. “It was horrifying to watch.  I was embarrassed for her. I was embarrassed for this family. She was acting like a common street wolf.  And then… then she just left with him. She got right into his car. She forced herself into his car even though he was trying to push her out!”

“Oh my goddess!” mother screams in a shrill voice,  jumping to her feet in anger. “That little harlot! Oh my goddess! When she comes back, I will chain her to the basement myself! I  will make sure she never goes into heat again…”

“The Lycan King chose her?” Dad interjects when mum is speaking. He seems to be calculating something in his head. “I think this could work in our favour. An alliance with the Alistair kingdom could strengthen our position in the territories considerably…”

“What the hell!?”  mother cut him short too. “You can't be serious about what you are saying. We shouldn't support Alora’s misbehaviour. The both of us know that her status is trouble to this family. One night of being left unguided and she is like a madwolf already. If anyone should be the queen of the Alistair Kingdom,  it should be Leah here,” she point's to me. She is the stronger wolf. She is the proper choice. Alora  is just very weak. She is an omega and she doesn't deserve the position as queen!”

I hide the blush on my cheeks. Even mum thinks I should be a queen. They are going exactly where I want them to go!

“Of course mum,” I say with fake concern while pulling out my phone. “Uhh… after seeing these messages, I doubt king Alonso would want to do anything with her once he knows the kind of slut that she is”

“What messages?” Dad's eyes narrowed suspiciously as he looked at me

With a beautiful fake innocence, I open the phone and show them the screen.

There, my work of art that I crafted before coming home sits pretty on the screen of Alora’s phone and all hell is about to break loose.

Messages of random irresponsible pack boys and rogue wolves filled the screen with scandalous messages. I make sure that the timing of all the messages are perfect and everything is believable

“Look,” I push the phone straight to father

“I can't wait to see you tonight… I promise that your stupid mother wouldn't find out about us”

“I miss licking your boobs, please come to my place after school”

“What of the thing in your womb? Have you gotten rid of it?”

I read aloud on purpose to worsen the situation of things

Mother snatches the phone from  dad, her face twisting in disgust

“This… this…”  mother can barely make a sentence because she is enraged

“There is more,” I take the phone form and mother and begin to scroll. “She is planning to run away with a rogue wolf”
