Chapter 96

I 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

    Chapter 100It had been a full week since Dimitri left. I spent more time refreshing my email than was normal but still. Nothing.“Relax. I don’t think he has forgotten. At least not so soon,” Lily tried to cheer me up as she flicked a single chip at me and continued to noisily munch another one.“It’s just…” I groaned in annoyance and threw the cracker back at her. “What’s taking so long? Why can't he just send It? What is the problem,”Lily smiled in amusement. “What???” I groaned in exasperation.“It’s just you're so fast sometimes you forget that Not everyone has that luxury. You need to calm down to normal speed. It’s just been a week and it definitely takes more than that to gather the information you need,” Lily rolled her eyes and passed me the bag of chips.Maybe she was right but it didn’t stop me from worrying.“Fine,” I dramatically dropped my tablet on the bed. “But I’m calling if he still hasn’t sent it by tomorrow,”“Sure you—“My bedroom door opened, Lily and I turned

    Chapter 101“Nothing important just guests for Lily’s wedding,” I shook my head and smiled at him.He looked from me to Amari and gave me a nod.“Alright,”I frowned immediately. Something was wrong, he seemed down and I could practically feel his worry leaking to me.“Bye Amari,” I waved Lily’s mate goodbye and locked arms with Darwin.“Hey,” I whispered and tugged on his arm. “You okay?”“Yeah, I just…” he paused and shook his head “I want us to have our wedding and do the coronation on the same day as Amari. You need to officially take the office. The pack members don’t recognize you as queen yet,”His concern made me frown. “We can’t do anything about that. You gave the power up to Lyssandra so she gets to decide if she wants to dissolve the joining bond or not,”I knew it wasn’t his fault. He had no idea his marriage wouldn’t work out or that he would get a second chance mate, but yet it hurt me.“I’m so sorry Lydia. I spoke to her but trying to reason with Lyssandra is like tal

    Chapter 102“So that's the plan,” I looked around the room waiting for their reactions.I had gathered Lily, Amari, Margery and of course, Darwin in the meeting room to tell them Dimitri’s plan.Of course, I omitted the tiny information that it was Dimitri’s plan and that I wanted to visit Silver Streak.“So to get it straight, you want to fool Lady Lyssandra along with the rest of the kingdom and royal guests into believing you joined with the king,” Amari asked.“I think it’s genius,” Margery chuckled. “It’ll certainly drive her mad. And yes, power is in perception. If the pack members believe you’re both married Lyssandra loses all credibility,”My chest lightened up at her words and I turned to Lily.“Lils,”It was her wedding too. I needed her permission, I wouldn’t ever want to upstage her on her wedding day.“I like it. We’ll have to be careful so Freya doesn’t find out. But that aside we should be good,”Relief flooded me at her reply and I turned to the man of the hour.Darwi

    Chapter 103“I can't believe you're making me do this,” Freya hissed in a low voice.“Righttt you might want to avoid speaking,” I chuckled. “No one can see me. Any more of your mumbling and the palace would be agog with rumors of the mad princess,”“Like I care. They already talk about me anyway,” Freya muttered bitterly.My heart softened a bit but I remained silent as she stood in front of Lyssandra’s door and took a deep breath.“This is the last thing I do for you,” Freya hissed “and you better not use her blood for some voodoo or spell,”I rolled my eyes, and all my earlier sympathy vanished.“I’m Fae, not a witch. Get a move on or I’ll show you the difference?”I smiled in amusement as Freya took a small fearful step away from me and knocked on the door.“Lyss? Lyssie?” She called out.The door unlocked almost immediately and Lyssandra stepped back with a smile.She wasn’t dressed up. In just a camisole, no makeup, and her blond curls down her shoulders she almost looked normal

    Chapter 104“I’m leaving today and the books have still not arrived,” I frowned as I dropped the hairbrush and turned to Lily.“Why is she doing this to me? If she wasn’t going to send it, she didn’t have to say she would,” I hissed and turned back to the mirror.“Lydia, you have to learn to relax. It’s just been four days. Besides, every other part of the plan is going great. You’re leaving for the Blood Moon pack today, after that, you’ll go to Silver Streak. Preparations for the double wedding are going great and Lyssandra still doesn’t know a thing,”I sighed and stared at my reflection in the mirror. “I know, I know,” I grumbled. “But four days is plenty of time to pack up a few books and shop them for me,”“Lydia,” Lily sighed.I turned around to face her and threw my hands in exasperation. “Four days is a long time, okay? Four days is plenty enough. I mean, I arranged my trip, sent out invites, and made a plan in four days. I leave today, why couldn’t she send a couple of boo

    Epilogue “Lydia! Hurry!” Lily waddled to my side with her hand on her stomach. She paused and stared at the scene before her with a smile on her face. “Just how many people are walking you down the aisle?” I chuckled and looked from Vren to Serena and Freya “Well you can’t fault me for having three people to walk me. Besides this is my third wedding,” Everyone chuckled and Lily rolled her eyes. “Enough of all this. Everyone in the hall now! Before Margery comes and here and catches this scene,” “Sorry guys,” I laughed as the palace guards opened the hall doors and they shuffled away in a file. “Not you Vren,” Lily called out at the last minute. “ I mean, your highness? What am I supposed to address you as?” Lily bowed with a chuckle. “Nonsense. That’s not necessary, especially in your condition,” Vren shook his head, making me smile. In the last four months I spent in Thoranelle learning the ropes, we had grown incredibly closer. Yes, you read that right. Vren stepped down f

    My vision blurred with tears and I made to run to him when Lyssandra stepped in front of me and shook her head.“Uh-huh,” she chuckled. “If you belong to me now, you cannot go running to them at the slightest provocation,”A humorless chuckle left me as my tears spilled down my cheeks. She had been married to and mates to this man. How could she be so heartless?“Then call them off. Call of your guard dogs,” I whispered pleadingly.“Of course,” she purred and snapped her fingers.Like as though we were in some sort of trance, the entire palace went silent.The only sound was Margery’s soft groaning from where she lay on the floor.My eyes found Darwin and relief rushed through me as I saw he was still standing but he was losing blood and fast.I tried to move to him but the hall swam before my eyes and I paused.Lyssandra chuckled and picked up the bloodied knife from the floor.“You belong to me now,” she smirked as she lifted the knife to my throat.I swallowed.

    Chapter 113A still calm seemed to come over me as I moved back from Lily and staggered to my feet.Blood was still flowing from the wound in my hand. My legs shook as I stared at Margery on the floor.She had her hand on her stomach where blood was pooling fast.Her lips were white as she groaned softly.Vren was here. What? How?My shock was replaced by fear as Vren screamed in pain and crashed to the floor beside Margery.All around me, the people I loved were hurt and in pain because of this woman.Drusilla growled in anger and my entire frame trembled badly. I knew she wanted to shift and take over and I wanted to let her. So badly.But Margery needed my help, I moved to Margery’s side as quickly as I could and pressed my dripping palm to her lips.“W what?-“ Vren raised his crazed eyes to me but I didn’t have time for that.I couldn’t focus, not when this woman had control of all the pack members.My head swiveled, searching for Lyssandra and where Darwin had gone.“Shit!” Amari

    Chapter 112Lydia’s POVI staggered out of the lab, my leg aching a bit, where I had repeatedly hit it against the door to force it open.From the hallway, I could hear sounds and what seemed to be screams. What the hell was happening?!Fear rushed through me and I flew down the hallway at lightning speed.“Lydia?!” Dimitri called my name a second before I went crashing into him.He held me from falling “What happened?! Where were you?! I thought you were on the aisle then next thing—““You thought I was on the aisle?! They were two brides?!” Shit! Lyssandra planned to pose as me.“Yeah and—“I paused Dimitri and listened in fear again as more loud shouts carried over to me. They seemed to be intensifying.“What the hell is going on?!” It sounded like protests Dimitri and I broke into a run as pack members began to flood into the palace.“Shit!” I swore under my breath.“Your majesty, over here!” Alexander and my guards covered Dimitri and me as the pack members yelled.The sounds o

    The Wedding.“And you're certain this plan will work?!” Dimitri asked for the hundredth time.“Shut up and get out of my head,” I hissed impatiently. “We don’t have a choice. It's too late to make adjustments. We just have to carry on and hope for the best,”A knock sounded at my bedroom door, I got to my feet slowly and turned around as the door opened and Margery filed in with a team of beauty professionals.“Good morning Your Majesty,” she chirped happily and clapped her hands. “It’s time for your wedding!”Her good mood was infectious and my lips tugged up in a smile too.“Morning Marge,” I smiled.“Your Majesty,” A worker passed me a cup of tea.“Thank you,” I took it and blew gently on the steam.“Okay, everyone let’s get to work,”I took my seat as they began. Within the next two hours, they worked on my nails, styled my hair, did my makeup, and helped meInto my dress.“You have impeccable taste,” I smiled at Margery and patted my hand down my white lacy dress.“I can’t decid

She uncapped a lipstick and began to scrawl on it.“Look, we've approached it from several different scenarios. I know Lyssie. She would never tell us how to break the enchantment so that’s out of it,” she drew a red X on one part of the mirror.“We can’t kidnap or hold her in some cell. Dad and I tried, we released the news she was dead and kept her incapacitated for years.She found a way to make him go crazy so he bought her the elixir,” She drew another X“She definitely won’t be repenting and turning a new leaf anytime soon, and she has started manipulating the pack members,” She drew an X with a sigh.“Manipulating the pack?” I looked at Margery. “What is she talking about,”“His Majesty requested w

    Chapter 109“Thank you, Alpha for having us. Our stay at Silver Streak was memorable,”I smiled at Serena softly. Her eyes watered and to the shock of everyone around she enveloped me in a hug. I froze for a beat then gently brought my hand up to enclose her.“Thank you, Lydia. I hope everything goes well. If you need help, call me and I’ll definitely be showing up for your wedding,” Serena whispered as she stepped back with a small smile.She turned to Dimitri and I didn’t fail to notice the look that passed between the two of them.“Lycan,” Serena bowed. “Alpha,” Dimitri repeated her motion with a chuckle. I rolled my eyes in amusement, he’s never serious.“Momma!” My eyes went straight to the beautiful silver haired little girl coming our way. Anastasia held on to her hand but she was bustling full of energy and ready to bolt towards us.Of their own accord, my feet carried me a few steps toward her until we stopped before each other.“Your Majesty” she chirped and gave a cute

    Chapter 108I sat beside Claire, my hand on the little heart who stole my heart with one grey eyed glance.“She’ll be fine. She’s a fighter,” Serena gave me a hopeful nod and wiped Claire’s brow with a towel.“What happened?” I voiced the question that had been eating at me since I first saw her sick frame.Serena sighed and sat up fully to look at me. “A fall,”“Pardon?” I was horrified. Just look at her, she’s tiny, how could she have fallen and just where did she fall from?“Yeah,” Serena chuckled humorlessly “My reaction exactly. She was four, a few days before her fifth birthday. She said to me— Momma can I play in the garden with Papa. I said yes,”A small gasp left me. Since she was four. That was two years ago.“They played on the trees and he left. Dave left my little girl up there alone. She fell and has been sick ever since,”Horror and blind anger rushed through me.“Oh I know,” Serena read my face and shook her head. “I wanted to crush him with my bare hands. I was so blo

    Chapter 107I staggered back a bit in shock.“Your Majesty,” The servant girl dropped the bowl of water on Serena’s lap and I watched as Serena put the towel in the water, wrung it, and gently sapped her daughter’s head.Slowly, my feet carried me towards the little girl. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was even. I placed my palm on her head to feel her temperature and her eyes snapped open.“Claire?!” Serena whispered in excitement. She dropped the towel and held her daughter's hand tightly. “Claire baby,”The workers in the room began to murmur in excitement and I even saw a maid hurry off, presumably to call a doctor or nurse.Claire had her eyes open but she wasn’t staring at her mother. The baby girl was staring straight at me. I blinked in surprise.She could see me? I gave her a shaky smile and waved at her. Her eyes lit up a little and her lips moved.She mouthed two words. “Save me,” Then she closed her eyes.Her mother clearly heard her. My heart broke as Serena’s ey
