Carlisle

The news had finally gotten to me. What Emily had been talking about had just happened. They'd come to tell me about the shipment and how they needed my help with it.

Just as I was starting to get lost in my thoughts, my phone rang. I picked it up, expecting it to be Gomez or Alex but it was Elinna.

"Hey, Carlisle. I was thinking we should meet up and talk."

I raised an eyebrow, wondering what she wanted to talk about

"What's on your mind?" I asked, trying to wonder if there's an issue.

"I just wanted to discuss some things with you," she said. "Maybe we could grab coffee or something?"

I nodded, even though she couldn't see me. "Sure, that sounds good," I said. "When were you thinking?"

"How about now?" she asked. "I'm free if you are."

I glanced at my watch, wondering what was happening.

"I'm good," I said. "Where do you want to meet?"

We agreed on a different place this time since the usual place didn't serve coffee. and I hung up the phone, feeling a sense

    ELINNA“So you're saying that you'll be staying there for a while?”I waved Gomez into the room.“Yes Lizzy, that's what I'm saying. I'm stuck here taking care of a few things and I won't be able to come back home for a while. So you're going to have to hold the fort down for me. Please.”Gomez sat on the chair opposite me and placed some papers on the table.“O-okay, what about Chase and your mum? What should I tell them?”My mother knew about me being a wolf so she shouldn't be a problem. I could tell her that I had to do something with Carlisle.But Chase, he might want to be here when I tell him I was with his dad.“Don’t worry about it. I'll deal with Chase when he gets back from school. I'll call my mum later in the day.”She had called earlier but I'd missed it and didn't have enough time to call her back.I needed to attend to Gomez so I ended my call with Lizzy and placed the phone down.We were in Carlisle's office and I'd told Gomez that I'd spoken to Kesian and he'd agreed

    ELINNAI didn't go to Kesian that night.I wasn't stupid enough to go see him at night when he was definitely the strongest.My best chance was when the sun was at its highest peak.One thing I didn't do was to call ahead. I wanted to take him by surprise so I just walked into the house and started searching for him everywhere.Maybe Kesian would have gone.When I didn't see him in the throne room, I searched the bedroom but he wasn't there either. And then I remembered his favorite thinking spot and sure enough he was there, doing exactly what I knew he'd be doing.Standing with his arm crossed behind him and looking out the window.“If anyone else saw you, they'd think you were plotting the destruction of the world.”He seemed deep in thought because he didn't act like he knew I was there. When he noticed my presence, he scoffed and walked closer to me.“Maybe because I am. What are you doing here, giving me unplanned visits? It seems you're enjoying my company.”Oh, it was still Ke

    ELINNAI knew that if they had the chance to attack me and avenge him, they would have. But I hadn't done all that much. All I did was slap him. After the initial shock had worn off and Elder Gerald had regained his sanity, I turned to the guards. “Throw him in jail. And don't let him out until I say so.” Of course, they didn't waste any time in doing so and they dragged him out immediately. The rest of them were too shocked to say anything and I was hoping that they would so I could throw more of them in jail. “Now, if that would be all, I would take my.leave. I don't know how you have been relating with the King but I can tell you that no such rubbish will be done with me. I will not allow any of you to insult me and speak down on me just because I'm a woman. Do I make myself clear?” There could only be nods but that was good enough for me and I left them there. I got to the car before I let out a breath that I didn't know that I had been holding. Gomez got in the car righ

    ELINNA“W-We just told you that they committed slander against the King! How can you say we should present evidence? Isn't that evidence enough?”I stood up from my seat and went to where they had the women kneeling. “Guards, help these women to their feet and give them the seats available. How coincidental is it that we have just the right number of seats available? And if you dare to hurt any of them in any way, I'll make sure that they watch from the outside while you suffer in the cells.”They didn't have the right to touch thess women and so help me. If I found out that these women were innocent, which I knew that they were, they would pay for it. And all the bruises that they gave to them were not self inflicted so they'd have to pay for that. When the women were seated, I leaned on the table and faced them, starting with the one closest to me. Her eyes were fixed on the ground and she was visibly shaking. “What is your name? And what are you being accused of?” She didn't l

    ELINNA“So lay it on me.” I sat and crosses my legs “What’s the agenda for today?”I could still hear some whispers but that didn't concern me. They seemed a bit too star-struck for me. Handy they seen a woman leading before? Well, that wouldn't be a shock, considering the type of family Carlisle came from. Men were often the leading figures and the women just laid back and bore children. Since I'd grown up, I don't think I'd ever heard of the Queen. Even as a teenager, I didn't know Carlisle's mother nor had I ever seen her. “Let me introduce myself to you gentlemen since you seem a bit too aloof. My name is Elinna Scarlett Evergreen, wife of the King Carlisle Evergreen, the Fourth, King of the Lycan Kingdom. Making me the Queen. My husband has come down with something very nasty and he has asked me to see to his affairs. Now that we have that out of the way, let's get into business or do you want to introduce yourselves too and turn this into a meet and greet?”There was a snicke

    ELINNA“You can still eat while they work. I know it may look overwhelming but it's not.”Yeah, easy for him to say. He wasn't the one who had to sit down and be their doll. I didn't have this much of a crew when I had to do the press conference. “Just go, sit down and let them work. They have to be done with you in an hour.”An hour? And here I was thinking that they would be done in half an hour at most. The fact that the elders were already waiting for me was funny. Because they would be expecting me any moment now, and here I was, not looking anything like a Queen. With that in mind, I walked over and sat in the chair, holding my breath as they approached me with their makeup brushes and hair brushes and spray cans. They did allow me to eat. However, they had to feed it to me at intervals which was very uncomfortable. With my eyes closed, I didn't even know when they were done and I was scared to open my eyes , because the last time I did, one of the ladies almost bit my head

    ELINNA “Gomez, I don't think I can do this. Just tell them that the King can't see them right now. What do I know about the present situation? I can't go there and embarrass myself. I mean, what do you want me to say? Give them a yes or no verdict? What if they don't listen to me? I'll look like a fool. I can't take that risk. Besides, the only time they've ever seen me was at the wedding. And they probably know about the divorce. I don't think they will want to hear anything from me. The wedding is obviously invalid. What will-” “My Queen!” I hadn't even realized that I had been shouting until I heard that. The car was finally silent and I just sat there, staring at the road. I was not the Queen. I never was. And I never will be. “You married the King, Mrs Evergreen. You are the Queen. And no, they don't know about the divorce. The King kept that a secret from everyone else. So to them, you're still the Queen.” I wanted to ask him if he was pulling my legs but I knew that

    ELINNA As I made my way into the house, my stomach churned. I didn't feel so good anymore and the warning bells were going off in my head, telling me to go back because I was showing to be in a house alone with Kesian. “Don’t worry about it. Go, I'll make sure it take care of things. He won't harm you and if it even crosses his mind, I put him down before he can succeed.” With Ice's reassuring words in heart, I was finally inside the house. Kesian was in the dining room with his back turned away form me. “You know if you were going to make me a meal, you shouldn't have let me go. It's not safe for em to be driving at night.” He didn't move and it didn't seem like it was him I was talking to. Either way, I made my way to the seat, sitting down at the exact place where I had been sitting earlier that day. The food laid out before did smell divive and it made me wonder where he got it. Did he ask a maid to prepare it or did he do some magic and this happened? Either way, no mat

    ELINNA I lodged in a hotel. There was no way that I could let myself go back home when I knew that something was going to go very wrong if I did. Even though I didn't know what they were planning, I couldn't help but feel a slight sense of responsibility. Carlisle didn't have control over his body and it was up to me to protect him. I know that he'll trust me to do so and I couldn't let him down. I couldn't leave him at the hands of that thing. I didn't know what damage he would do. I'll be here to keep an eye on him. Hopefully, he leaves quickly so Carlisle and I can go back home. The fact that it seemed like he was so untouchable kept me on the edge. I mean, so far I hadn't found out anything that could help me in bringing him down. Yes, I knew about him and I knew his motive and what he was pining for but that didn't mean that I had won this. Infact, it seemed like he was always a step ahead of me. If this was how things were going to keep going, then I didn't have a
