Chapter 92I had no idea what I expected as I stepped out of the car and walked closely beside Vren.But it wasn't the deference I received or the beauty of the palace.The Fae architecture left my mouth open and I couldn't help but wonder if it was the same Palace I had been held in for a week.“Nobody knows who you are,” Vren leaned in to whisper as we paused in front of thick double doors engraved with gold designs.-“But you informed the Queen, I would be here?” I raised a brow.“I informed her someone special would be here. I'll tell her who you really are but for now,” Vren paused and leaned in to arrange my hair over my ears.“What are you doing?” I frowned.“You're more beautiful than the average werewolf so you can pass for Fae. Let's use every advantage we can get,”It turned my stomach the wrong way but I stayed still as he arranged my hair to fall delicately over my ears.“All good?” I sighed deeply. “Yeah,” Vren gave a nod to the the guards at the door.Unconciously my g
Chapter 93I turned around in shock as the room seemed to spin around me.“Mamma?”Her dark hair was just as I remembered. Dark with linings of silver, except where it had always been in a maid right bun, it now fell about her shoulders in waves.She looked ahead of me, flanked by several guards and a teary eyed Margery.The woman I had missed severely and cried for years for. She walked towards me, alive and well with eyes that darted from me to Vren warily.The meaning of her words hit my chest and I staggered backwards, all the power drained out of me.He is her son. Vren who had kidnapped me and brought me here to be killed. He is my brother and that means.My mother is the Fae Queen and she has been alive all this while.“I’m sorry Lydia,” I watched the Fae queen, raise her both hands and close them in a tight fist.My air supply suddenly cut off and everything went dark.—————-“You placed only one pillow. She needs at least two,” Dimitri’s voice grumbled.“You’re the Lycan! B
Chapter 94I took a sip of wine from my glass and smiled softly at the sight before me.Margery and Vren danced around each other, with tentative touches and shy glances.Already I could see a difference in how they related to each other. Warmth had come back into Margery, and it shined best when she stared at Vren, he stared at her like she was his sun. It made me wonder how they in love they had been before and how Lyssandra could be heartless enough to tear them apart.“Their love burns bright,” The queen chuckled by my side.“Indeed it does, your majesty,” I gave her a polite smile and continued staring.Because that was who she was to me. The Fae queen of Thoranelle. I couldn’t bring myself to relate the woman by my side with the sweet untainted memory of my Mamma and her beautiful friendship with Luna Cathy.—————-3 days ago—————-“That makes Wilson your half brother. That’s why I never encouraged your crush on him,”I shook my head and stumbled back in shock, pain lanced thr
Chapter 95“What are you doing here?” I took a small step back and allowed my magic to rise, the black shadows coating me like a second skin.“Relax, I come in peace,” The King’s eyes scanned my powers and he crossed his arms behind his back.Drusilla’s senses were still heightened at the possible threat. “You tried to kill me. I’m not trusting you,” “I’m not asking you to. I’m asking that you disappear,”His words pricked me but I frowned and ignored him.“If you won’t rekindle a relationship with the queen , then. At least leave her life. Let her go back to being happy and content,”“Leave,” I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at the king.How did he even get here faster then Dimitri and I.“I warned you,” he slid his hands into his pockets. “Don’t hurt her. Forgive her or forget about her,”“Leave!” Drusilla growled at the king as I stepped aside for him to go out my phone door.If you hurt her, I’m coming after you, and you don’t want to make me your enemy,”I was about to re
Chapter 96I stood behind Margery, my stomach in knots and my Palms sweaty. I was nervous to see him, yet had no real reason why.“You’re okay?” Margery looked back at me with a raised brow.“Hmhmm,” I gave her a nervous nod and worried my bottom lip with my teeth.We shuffled out of the jet in a straight line.As I walked down the stairs, my eyes scanned the people that were gathered on the pad to welcome us.Amari stood by the roof top door beside a sour looking Lyssandra.By the look on her face, I could tell they all knew the truth about my heritage.My eyes scanned the pad, looking for him. I could feel him close by but couldn’t see him.“Oof!” A figure slammed into me, making me stagger back a few feet.“Lydia!” I blinked in surprise as Lily burst into tears.Her comforting scent of lilies bought tears to my tears and I let my hands wrap around her. “Lils,” I sniffled and blinked my tears away. How many times had I been around my best friend without realising what life would b
Chapter 97I was so happy it felt like my heart would burst. My hands snaked around Darwin’s neck as he broke the kiss and I chuckled lightly.“I guess you missed me too,”“More than you could imagine,” Darwin’s walls came down and the full force of his emotions slammed into me. “Not just me, but the whole palace. Nothing has been the same without you,”“What changed while I was gone?” I cocked my head and stared at his face. It almost seemed like there was something he wasn’t telling me.“Well, Lily and Amari are finally getting married,” Darwin chuckled.“Finally,” I rolled my eyes dramatically as a smile tugged on my lips. “We should get married too. Maybe like a joint ceremony?”My heart beat nervously as I blinked and waited for Darwin’s reply. It wasn’t like he would refuse me, but a slight doubt still nagged at the back of my mind.“Yeah, it’s time we made your coronation official,” Darwin chuckled and pressed a kiss to my head.“That won’t happen,”I jerked back from Darwin’s a
Chapter 98~~~~~~~ROYAL LETTER FROM ELOISE AZIRA, ~~~~~~~QUEEN OF FAE TO LYDIA SHAPIRO, ~~~~~~~QUEEN OF THE ROGUE KINGDOMMy Dear,Dear Lydia, my sweet girl. Did you know I wanted to name you Nehemia? It means Life. Because that's what your birth gave to me.I was stranded in a foreign territory with foreign species of people who viewed my blood as a life elixir. I was drained and tortured and almost lifeless when I met him for the first time.Mike. Or alpha Mike as you know him. Did I love him? No. Not in the same way I love Theran. But he did show me some semblance of love. He held my hand and got me flowers. He was a gift to me from the moon goddess their people worship so much.When he left me with child, I was frightened and numb. But then he took me to the palace and I met Cathy. You know the rest of the story. How I gained my life back when I felt you kick for the first time.I used to jokingly say you took all the life in me, that's why you came out loud
Chapter 99Darwin blinked and I watched in surprise as his face seemed to go confused. “Sister?”“Yeah,” I pushed on, “your sister. You know, from your pack,”Almost immediately his eyes lit up for a second so small I almost thought I imagined it. “Serena! Her name is Serena,”Serena? Where is she? Why has Darwin never spoken about her?I crawled off the bed and walked slowly towards him. “Your sister's name is Serena,” I repeated slowly.He gave me an affirmative nod. “Yes. I had a sister called Serena,”“And where is she? What happened?” My heart sank at the word— had. Did he lose her and was I being insensitive by asking so plainly?“I…” Darwin pauses and cocked his head strangely. “I don’t remember,”He doesn't remember? That makes no sense.“What do you mean, you don't remember? You don’t remember what happened to your sister?” I asked incredulously.“No,” he shook his head like some clueless child.“What…What about your parents? And the throne?” I asked as suspicion crawled up
