Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 91 - Disappointed.
HelenaI could see that the young woman was very uncomfortable, and it broke my heart to see my son looking so confused about it all. It was infuriating that life had to be so difficult sometimes. My poor boy was born in the belly of the castle as war started. Why couldn’t he just have this one thing?“Son, we need to talk.” I sighed as he ran after Arora, who was clearly on her way to her mother. They had just come from the gardens where I gave them privacy, but I kept a close eye on them just in case. The last thing we needed was a scandal where there was none. People so loved to talk about the royal family and I knew they would be talking about Bernard and Arora.“Mom, I’m just …” He looked a little agitated.“Now son.” I gripped his arm a little tighter, and he looked into my eyes. He sighed and nodded, and we made our way inside the castle. I wasn’t sure if I should tell him everything, but I had to warn him somehow.“Mother, what is so important that you had to stop me?” He only

AroraIt was inevitable. I was sure about that much. I couldn’t imagine the prince accepting me. Even if he wanted to, I couldn’t imagine his family accepting me. Didn’t he have to ask the king for permission or something? I wasn’t entirely sure how it worked. I never paid much attention to the royal protocol class since I never thought I would need any of it.I couldn’t imagine the moon goddess mating me to anyone important. Little did I know she even had it in for me. The worst part of all of this was that I hardly knew my father before he was … I shook my head as tears started to fill my eyes. Closing them tightly, I fought the sobs threatening to rip through me and forced my brain to sleep.It felt as though I had just fallen asleep when my mother burst through the door to wake me. As she ripped open the curtains, I pulled the covers over my head, trying to avoid the sunlight. I didn’t want to see the sunlight. I hated sunlight … I didn’t, but today I did. I wanted the darkness.“

BernardIt took a little time to find their home since it seemed not a lot of people knew where they lived. Under the circumstances, I guess it wasn’t surprising. My family tried to protect the two women from the shame. There were things about the human condition I couldn’t understand.What people said, and that included my damn family, sometimes didn’t agree with what they did and it was infuriating! They had good intentions. That was always clear. They just didn’t always follow all the way through.I found Arora’s home and knocked on the door. Trying to listen for movement, I heard footsteps coming.“I am not interested…” Arora swung the door open. Her eyes widened. “What are you doing here? How did you find me?” She frowned.“I came to talk to you. You are my mate. My family told me what happened. Could we go inside? I’m sure you don’t want me emptying your dirty laundry right here in the street.” I didn’t mean to be rude. I was still furious with my family and everything just came

AroraI didn’t want to go to the castle. I didn’t want to discuss whatever it was that the royals felt needed discussing. I had work to do around the house. Our roof was starting to leak and since mom and I couldn’t afford to pay for someone to fix it, I was planning on climbing up there myself.“Lady Irina, welcome to our home.” The new queen greeted my mother with a huge smile, and it almost looked as though the girl was just about to hug my mom when I noted the king taking her hand.“Thank you, your majesty. It is an honour to be here.” Mom gushed and I rolled my eyes.“And you must be Arora. It is a pleasure to meet you.” King Noah smiled, but it looked a little strained and I nearly laughed out loud. Fake! The lot of them! Not a single one would know what sincerity really was, even if it smacked them in the damn face.“I am pleased to meet you both.” I curtsied and purposefully didn’t refer to their titles, waiting for them to throw me out of the castle, but nobody would do me th

Arora“We don’t need your charity now! We needed it when you all turned your backs on us.” I spat at them, but my voice almost became a whisper as I ran out of steam. I had been fighting a fight I didn’t understand for most of my life.A fight that wasn’t even mine. A fight against an invisible enemy that wasn’t allowed to show his face because the people in front of me deemed it so. It was simply astounding that they even thought I would consider making peace with them, never mind accepting one of them as my mate!“Arora.” Bernard took a step forward, and I took a step back, making him stop in his tracks. “I’m not asking you to accept me right away. My family is not going to hold this above your head. This is not some kind of bribe to convince you of anything. It is the only way we can think of to start fixing what was done to you and your mother.”“Arora, please.” Mother looked at me with tears in her eyes. Before my father was caught out, they had a wonderful life. My parents lived

Arora“How long has it been like this?” Bernard looked furious and I shrugged.“Like this?” I pointed at the roof, pretending to think. “This probably happened some time this morning. It wasn’t that bad before.” I shrugged again, trying my best not to make a big deal out of it. I knew that the longer they hung around, the less chance there was of me getting up there today. I didn’t want them there, but I knew I had to grit and bear it. For now. For my mother’s sake.“Wait a minute! Is this what you wanted to fix? Were you supposed to be up there when all of this caved in?” Bernard frowned, but I could see concern and anger burning in his eyes. The man was smarter than I thought. I had hoped I had been vague enough.“Yes, she was, your highness. Ever since her father…” My mom spoke up when I didn’t say a word, but her voice trailed off for a moment before she regained her composure. “Arora has been trying her best to fix whatever she could with the limited resources we have.” All eyes

BernardI was so angry that I really wanted to tell my family where to get off, but I held it all back. I can’t ruin this for Arora and her mother now. One wrong word, not that I thought Noah was like that, but one wrong word could mess this all up.I just couldn’t believe that none of us so much as checked on them once. None of us, me included, ever asked if they were okay. They were just the Dutchess and her daughter that nobody talked about until the day I figured out Arora was my mate.I rolled my eyes when I heard someone saying that they just slipped through the cracks. Nothing in our kingdom just slipped through the cracks! Ever! Except for Arora and her mother. They really did slip through the cracks. My family worked so hard to hide the secret that everyone forgot about the innocent victims.We had to change! I would make sure we changed.AroraI looked at myself in the mirror and noted how old my dress looked as I caught sight of the omega’s uniform. My dress was completely

HelenaThe poor girl was probably suffering from a major case of whiplash, and it was all my fault. Okay, maybe not all of it, but it was mostly my fault. If I hadn’t brought it up, my family would probably only have realized it later on and not made such a huge fuss.We would have moved Arora and her mother into the castle the same way we did with all the royals and that would have been the end of it. Instead, I made a fuss and now the entire family was making a fuss, and it had become clear that Arora didn’t like it.She tried her best to hide her feelings, but she was failing miserably. She was a strong female. Like all the women in my family. She was the perfect mate for my son and I couldn’t have done a better job even if I had picked his mate myself.I just wished I could go back and do things differently, but what was done was done, and now I have to try and do better. Back when Arora’s father was sentenced, all we could think about was the threat to our kingdom and our people.

Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 136 - The end.
EmilyI pushed to break through a mind link and I finally felt it releasing. He was one of us.“My apologies, your majesty. I have been gone for so long, it is difficult to open my pack link.” He finally answered through the link and I studied him carefully before ordering the guards to stand down.“Who are you and why have you been gone for so long?” I frowned. I couldn’t remember any of our spies being out in the world. Everyone had returned home for the celebration.“I’m Ares, your majesty. I was sent out by your father three years ago to try and find you a mate.” His cheeks turned red and I rolled my eyes. “I guess I know now why I couldn’t find one.”AroraThe news about Emily’s mate spread like wildfire through the kingdom, and before she even walked through the doors with Ares, we knew she had met him. Ares was one of Bernard’s young recruits that should have formed part of the queen’s guard, but Bernard sent him out to try and find a mate for our daughter.We hadn’t heard from
Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 135 - Emily and her heartache.
AroraI kept my promise. The day that Bernard and I retired from royal life and handed over the reigns to our daughter Emily was the proudest day of our lives. She had grown into one of the kindest people I had ever known, while at the same time standing her ground when it was needed.She was strong and brave even though she had not faced a war. She was ready to rule, and the people were ready for her to take over. Emily was much loved by our people as she had grown up in the streets of the city and knew most of them by name.She took all the lessons I taught her over the years to heart and made sure that the people were taken care of long before she became queen. I could hear the rumours again of how much she reminded the people of the old rogue queen, and it made me feel proud that the pack loved her that much.Sadly, new rumours were starting to flare up all over the city, and they unsettled us a little. Emily was old enough now to mate, but unlike most of the royals, she didn’t fi
Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 134 - A bright future.
AroraForgiving the royal family a second time was probably one of the toughest things I ever had to do, but I knew that if I didn’t, there would be no end to the cruelty that would definitely follow. I had preached forgiveness before everything happened, and this gave me the opportunity to again remind people how to forgive.I made sure they saw me happily interacting with the royal family at each event and I made sure the royals that remained spent time with the people. The kingdom grew prosperous again under Bernard’s rule, and with my help, the people became happy again. We announced my pregnancy soon after I passed the second month mark, and very soon after that, I began to show.The royal baby grew fast in my belly as time slowly ticked by. I spent my days in the old queen’s vegetable gardens and tending to the flower gardens as much as my body would allow. I joined the omegas to do the shopping for the castle and made sure I knew what every one of our supplier’s problems were,
Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 133 - Some hope ...
AroraMy omegas helped me to get dressed early the next morning. Having a warm and comfortable bed to sleep in and proper food to fill my belly, helped me to at least get some sleep. I was sure that the news about my release had already spread through the kingdom and was surprised when I walked into the dining room and saw the faces of the royals.Most of them were covered in shame as they should be, but I held my head high and took my seat beside Bernard. After the omega left the night before, Bernard told me everything that happened. He told me how he tried to find evidence against Irina and that he only believed her for a short while. It hurt to think that he had so little trust in me, but I pushed it to the back of my mind.None of them were to blame for any of this. Irina was the one who was to blame. She was the one who was going to face trial now and, thanks to Bernard’s genius plan, they had more than enough evidence to sentence Irina without spending much time on a trial.“Ar
Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 132 - Irina's mistake.
AroraBernard took his time. He even postponed the trial for two days so they could find a witch to explain what each item in their mound of evidence was used for. My only glimmer of light was seeing Irina losing her patience the longer Bernard postponed the inevitable. It was clear as day from the looks I was getting in court. All the nobles believed that I was guilty.Bernard was digging deeper into the hole with each move. I didn’t have any hope that they were going to save me. Even with the visits from Bernard and his mother. I don’t trust them anymore. My fate was sealed. Now he just had to make the final decision. He had to judge me. He had to decide how and when I would be killed.IrinaThe glass flew through the air and shattered against the wall as I screamed out in frustration. My cousin was just postponing the inevitable in the hopes that I would slip up. I noticed he now had four guards following my every move. I couldn’t even use the secret passages without having them po
Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 131 - Playing Irina's game.
AroraPrincess Helena snuck into the dungeons to see me, and she brought me some food, but I was still so cold that I was having trouble moving. I also wasn’t sure if I could trust the food they were giving me. If they saw me as a traitor, they could very well try to poison me. My trust in all of them had been shattered, and I wasn’t sure if it would ever be possible to repair it.I had been waiting for this shoe to drop since the very moment I found out Bernard was my mate. Almost as though I knew they would just turn around and betray me, but I started to trust them and believe that they would trust me. I couldn’t help the way I was feeling. They all turned on me so fast after seeing all those things in Irina’s little secret room.Nobody believed me. It was as though none of them really knew me at all. Why would I ever trust any of them again? Bernard’s face came to mind and I felt my heartache. He should have believed me right from the start. He should have trusted me. He should ha
Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 130 - Proving Arora's innocence is going to be difficult.
AroraIt wasn’t as cold on the cot as it was on the floor, but the night was long, and it still felt like the cold had found its way into my bones. I had no idea what was going on upstairs and, if I was honest, I didn’t care. They were so eager to believe Irina that they didn’t see how cruel she was.They all deserved whatever she had planned for them. I knew she made sure the proof pointed to me, but I couldn’t help myself. They should all have known by now that I wouldn’t have done that. Yet, even Bernard believed I was the traitor. I wasn’t sure if we would ever be able to find our way back to each other after all of this.The memory of Bernard visiting me and whispering came to mind and I pushed it to the back of my mind. I didn’t dare hope that things would work out in the end. Irina had been far too clever so far. She was going to make sure Bernard wouldn’t be able to prove my innocence. She was going to make sure the entire family believed her lies.The cold pushed through my t
Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 129 - Once bitten, twice shy ...
BernardNone of this made any sense. Unless I didn’t know Arora as well as I thought I did, but I couldn’t imagine her doing the kinds of things Irina had accused her of. We found notes in the room that referred to even worse actions and I didn’t want to even think about it.I was torn between what I thought I knew and what possibilities there were. Was Arora a cruel and evil person who took revenge on our family or was she the kind heart that helped us to save our family from total ruin? Not that I thought the pack would ever revolt against us.I sat back in my office chair, not wanting to go to our room and not wanting to face my family. There were still far too many unanswered questions and I wanted to be able to answer at least some of them when I faced them again. The most prominent would probably be if I was going to put Arora on trial.“What are you doing here alone, cousin?” Irina wondered in my office and I sighed deeply. She was the last person I wanted to deal with right no
Revenge of the Rogue Queen Chapter 128 - The ultimate betrayal.
Arora“She planned this.” My voice was soft, but one of two of them heard me. “Irina planned this!” I shouted. “My omega followed her today and found the room. Irina wants all of you to think that I’m the traitor so she can get rid of me. Bernard, you have to believe me.”“His Majesty, don’t have to believe one word that comes out of your traitorous mouth!” Irina shouted from the back. “Your father was a traitor, and so are you!” She hissed and I could feel the atmosphere turning.“We need to hear from the omega, Bernard.” Princess Helena spoke up, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The omega was dragged up the stairs and I could see in her eyes that this wasn’t going to go my way. She kept looking at Irina and I wondered what happened in the short time we were apart. What could Irina have done? She was right there with me the entire time.“Please tell us what happened this morning.” Princess Helena took the lead.“I … Please, don’t make me do this.” The omegas eyes filled with tears as
