ELINNA I thought he had sent Gomez after me to stop me from going ahead with what we had just talked about. But no, he sent Gomez to tell the guards to get the blacksmith and bring him to the house. “Gomez, that won't be necessary.. I'll go to him. It's not a big deal.”He nodded, stepping out of the way for me to go to the car. As much as it seemed like a big deal, I didn't seem happy. Maybe it was because I had just witnessed Carlisle carving himself up like a thanksgiving chicken or because I knew I was about to be in for it with those archaic men. Throughout the car ride, my mind wandered all over the place but was not focused on anything in particular. The door suddenly opened. “My Queen, we're here.” I looked around me. We were in the pack, the people going about their daily lives. This was the first time I had been in the pack in a very long time. Things hadn't changed much. Well, except the fact that I had the entire street staring directly at me. I didn't blame t
CARLISLE “I wish I were joking, Carlisle. And don't be mistaken to think that it's my only request because it's not. As a matter of fact, that's just my first.”This is outrageous and I won't give audience to this. I was going to be pushed to do something I didn't want to. I was trying so hard to avoid this but it seemed like I didn't have a choice. “Over my dead body will I do something like that.” His smile dropped, obviously not expecting me to say no to his request. He slammed the glass cup on the wall, shattering it to pieces. “Get ready to bury your son! I will make sure that I avenge my family that you killed! You think you could easily get away with it? You took everything away from and now, I'll start with your son!” I grabbed his shirt collar. “Roman! If anything should happen to my son! So help me, if a hair on his head is touched! I will chase you to the ends of the earth and make sure that I get revenge. I will make sure what you and everything associated with you
CARLISLEI got to the City earlier than I expected. Gomez had forwarded everything that I needed and I decided to check his house first. There was a high chance that he would most likely be there by this time. As expected, I was stopped at the gate. “Who are you here to see?” I didn't have the time to answer stupid questions so I brought out my gun and pointed it at the guard. That put all the other guards at alert and caused about ten gun to be pointed at me but I didn't care. “Go in and tell that bastard that I want to see my son, right now or I can empty this clip into all of you and still go in to see him.”He gave them the signal to step back for a bit. “What’s going on there? Let him through, I'm expecting him.”He had a smile on his face and it angered me that he didn't see this entire thing as anything and it pissed me off. I jumped down before I even stopped the car and I aimed it at him as I walked closer, not caring about the roughly twenty men that had their guns o
CARLISLE Gomez was standing in front of the car door, as if he didn't want me to leave. My gun was safely tucked away in my belt and it was ready to be fired. “Gomez, get out of the way. The city isn't in the backyard. I'm trying to get my son home before his mother notices.”He stepped in front of me again. “My King, think about it. How did he know where you were? The letter came directly here. It didn't go to the City house.”I finally stopped. I surely hadn't thought about that at all. How did Roman know where I was?I stepped back for a bit to process it. “Are you sure? Maybe they were the ones who sent it down here.”Gomez raised an eyebrow. I also didn't think the same. I brought out my phone and called the Chief Guard at the house in the city. He picked up immediately. “Boss, good day.”“Did any letter come for me to the house this afternoon?” If there was any thing for me, it always had to pass through him so he would surely know. “Not to the best of my knowledge. But
CARLISLE “So if you know that's going to bring issues, why do you want me to do it? Are you trying to cause a coup or something?” I'm trying to distract you. I thought deeply about what I wanted to say before I did because I knew that it was going to cause a whole lot of issues when I recovered from my imaginary illness. Also, it was going to change a lot of things that had never happened before. “Not at all. I want you to tell them that you now have your own seal and you can now sign things. And before they ask, tell them that I signed off on it. I'll get Gomez to draft the decree.” The words were just coming out of mouth like they had no consequence. My brain kept telling me to stop but id happily rather deal with my Elders than have to deal with Elinna when she found out thst Chase was kidnapped. Of course, she would find out eventually, but not right now. I wouldn't want to see her worried and crying because that would put pressure on me to find him quickly and things don't
CARLISLE Pain. Sadness. All those feelings. Id been dead to them a long time ago. I also didn't want to feel anything. Feelings hadn't been the way I'd gotten to the throne. To get to where I am, id has to kill myself and free myself of a lot of things, sentiments included. That seat I sat on was made from blood, sweat and tears. All of which were mine. So no, I didn't have feelings anymore. “Let me help.” She took the bottle of rubbing alcohol from me. I could see the way her hands were shaking as she held the bottle over my chest. She swallowed hard. “This is going to sting.” It was like she was warning me. I just gave her a simple nod and then she poured it. I didn't even feel anything because my mind was focused on the fact that she was helping me. I didn't think she'd want to be anywhere close to me after what happened. “I’m sorry.” She didn't look up from what she was doing. I could see that she done this before, she didn't need to be told what to do. As s
ELINNAGomez was the first person I saw on my way in. He gave me a smile and put down his tablet. “My Queen, what are you doing here? You could have called me over if-”I put my hand up to stop him. “Stop, I'm not here for you. Is he in?” He nodded, looking upstairs like he could see through the ceiling. “He was on a call the last time I saw him.”“What mood is he in?” Id learnt to ask that after what happened te last time I was here. I didn't want to walk in on him in a bad mood and feel the heat of his anger. “He’s okay, just busy with a few things but you can go see him.”I walked past him, going up the stairs. This was the first time I would be talking to him after what happened that day. Often times when my mind would go back to that day in his office, the butterflies in my stomach would always flutter at the thought of kissing him. It was ask intense, like something I had never experienced before. Well, I hadn't actually experienced it before that day. But the kiss was
ELINNAWhen the doorbell rang that morning, it thought it was Gomez or one of the Elders. So I stood up quickly to go answer the door, only to be greeting by an army of maids and guards. “What is going on? Is there a problem?”The way the maids held their dusters and buckets like they were here for war even made it weirder. “Good day, my Queen. We're here on orders of the King. He has asked that we come over to help you take care of the things in the house.” Did he? Well, he finally did something right because I really needed help with the things around the house. This house was too big for me to clean up alone so I usually avoided moving around the house too much. I stepped aside and let them get to work while I just stood. Well, I wasn't alone anymore. There were now peopl here. Three maids walked up to me and curtsied. “My Queen, we are your personal maids. Please don't worry anymore and let us know if you need anything.”Personal maids…interesting. They all looked prett
ELINNA“So what were you saying?”The meeting had been going on for about an hour now and I couldn't mention one thing that these men had said. They just kept beating around the bush and stammering. It was the fact that I was so tired or the fact that they kept fucking stammering that made it so damn hard to hear what they were saying. “I’m saying that things would be different with you in power. The people aren't used to a woman being on seat. They won't be happy with it. Maybe we should make on eof the elders the King for now-”I lifted my head, finally hearing what he was saying. Make an elder the King because the people won't be happy? Why? What for? Why would someone else be ruler of the kingdom when I was alive and well?I thought hard about the elders name before it finally clicked in my head. “Elder Lincoln, correct? See, I have nothing to say to you. The way you've been quiet throughout the other meetings, just remain quiet that same way. Don't say anything that will ma
