Rise My Queen

Chapter 8: Rise, My Queen,

"DO WHAT! VELLE!" He shouted when I failed to answer quickly.

"Pour blood on the grave of the Ancient Hybrid Reaper."

"She believes in dark magics and dark ritual?" Laia asked and shook her head.

"No! Kylo, believe me. You know me well, I can not do such a thing, we grew up together for goddess sake." I kneeled and clasped both my palm looking at him. "Do not believe her, please."

"Did you kill Mira?"

My breath hitched when he asked that. I saw Laia nod next to him. "She did." I looked back at him and saw that he was eyeing me straight like he was trying to look through my soul.

"Answer me, Velle."

"I didn't mean to." Like rain, tears fell from my eyes out of fear.

"DID YOU KILL HER? DID YOU KILL A PACK MEMBER, VELLE? ANSWER ME!"

I nodded...

"Kill her."

My breath stopped hearing him say that, I looked up at him and saw the cold and stone face of my mate mercilessly ordered to eliminate myself.

"No! I am your mate, Kylo!" I felt weak to fight and beg for more. I lost my strength and looked at my mate. I saw him take a gulp but no hint of uncertainty.

"I can't believe you chose to believe her lies than me." I wanted to believe that he didn’t want to lose me and that he was only fooled by Laia who wanted my place but it was too much. How could he believe her that quickly?

"You harmed enough, Velle."

That was not what he said before, he believed that I was innocent now he was convinced that this was all my fault. I did nothing but do what I need to do. I have been dancing to their beat, obeying what they want. I only dreamt to make them around and please them.

They harshly snatched both of my arms and made me kneel. I looked around and saw anger in their eyes, those eyes used to adore me. When I met the gaze of my father, disappointment rise within me when he only looked down and nailed on his place. No words were uttered to even plea for me.

"Father...I still love you even if you gave up defending me."

The most important men of my life turned their back on me; tired of saving and protecting me. I hate being fragile as this. I turned my gaze up and saw the tip of the silver dagger above me.

"I have done nothing for myself since then, I can't believe you'd consume my all." Even in my life, I needed to sacrifice my life to save them. What a shame.

I closed my eyes and accepted my fate, it would not hurt anyway, the pain of them turning their back on me was enough to fill my heart with numbness. "AH!" I felt the strong impact crush on my chest and the pain gradually increased in time.

The memories of my family and friends showed up, and the thing I saw before the darkness invade my head was his smile, his warm smile.

Zild POV

Sweet, melodic soft voice tickled my ears, desperation laced in her voice and the delicious smell of blood pulled me away from my sleep. Once I opened my eyes I was surrounded by darkness but the smell of blood was calling me. I punched the stone around me and found dried blood everywhere.

My head flared when I realized there was nothing that would aid my hunger. I took a long breath but it was not enough to calm down. I kicked the wall and punch everything I saw. "AHHHH!!" My nails grew sharp and I could feel my wolf trying to surface.

He was mad, very mad.

I let him take over and my palm fell on the ground, I watched it turn into paws and looked up to the moon above me. "AWOOOOO!!!!" I roared to vent my anger. How dare they, they woke me for nothing!

A rose scent in the air pulled my attention. I walked to follow her trace and I saw the opened gate. She left, her traces were still fresh.

"Daredevil!" I ran out to follow her at full speed and a sudden force threw my back to the house.

"HHA!" I snarled. "Stupid Curse! Stupid!" I was left with no choice but to walk back inside. I went to my thrown and sat there. I closed my eyes trying to calm myself. A lot has changed, everywhere was dusty and old. Weeds had welcomed themselves in and destroyed my house.

I was in deep thought when noises snapped it, my eyes looked around and the scent of blood filled my nostrils. I couldn't help myself and run out. My foot stopped midway when they haven't stepped foot in my territory. I would not be able to catch them. I hid and waited for them to walk nearer but they left.

I shifted back into my human form and walked to what they left. Blood, there was blood and a body of a dead girl came into my sight. "What a pleasant gift."

I kneel and reached her neck. I wasted no time and sank my teeth into her flesh. Before I drank all her blood, a wicked idea came into my mind. I need a servant. Using my nails I cut my wrist and made her drink mine.

"Rise my Queen," I whispered in her ears and her eyes suddenly went open. Her bloody eyes looked at me and I smiled. I offered my hand, "Velle my Queen."

That was the name they called her before they left her here. They'd kneel to her begging for what they have done. Her confused eyes turned to my palm and looked back at me. Such beautiful eyes, young and easy to manipulate.

"Who are you?" Her sweet voice, it was her who dare to call me. She had to pay for what she had done.

"I am your King Zild." She held my hand and we stood up. "Don't you remember anything?"

She shook her head and looked around. Good.

"Look at your clothes," her forehead cringed when she saw blood stains. "They tried to kill you by stabbing your heart but I saved you." I touched her soft cheek and displayed a hurt expression. "I made you immortal so no one can ever kill you. They wanted to take you away from me."

Her eyes turned teary and held my hand, "How cruel of them to do this." She sounded too innocent when she said that. I could sense her pure heart and weak emotions. "Why would they do that? Who am I? Take away from you? Move away from me!"

"I am your mate," I touched her face and look her in the eye. "Don't you feel our connection?" She shook her head and tried to pull away from me.

"I have been suffering here alone 'cause they took you away from me, you see I am not a normal werewolf. They call me a devil and they can not hurt me. " Her innocent stare, her curiosity, and her convinced face. Stupid. The only way to hurt me is through you. You should make them pay for what they did." I acted angry and desperate.

"What else did they do?"

"Cursed me to be caged in this place and cannot be able to leave here." Her eyes fell on my hand while looking at my eyes.

"That's too much, who are they?" Her voice seemed a whisper not wanting to cry more.

"The werewolves," fright reflected in her eyes. She should not be scared.

"They showed no mercy to us, and we should too." Show them that they mess with the wrong girl. Avenge me, my Queen. The determination in her eyes was enough for me to see that she would do everything for me.

Little girls were easy to fool.

"How can I do that?"

"Kill them?"
