All Chapters of Revenge of the Rogue Queen: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

HelenaHow did I tell my son that his mate was the daughter of a traitor? Did I even tell him? Liam had done everything in his power to make sure that most of the pack didn’t know about our little secret, and we had been carrying it all these years without most of them finding out.The Duke of Ironmoon had betrayed us and that was how the northerners got the perfect opportunity to wage war. The duke had told them all about our defenses as well as our grain stock and, in return, the northerners would have given him a title and land.We were never able to find out exactly how much, but it was clear that it was a lot more than his title and his house in our kingdom. The duke was a very ambitious man. He never cared for anyone other than himself. It was obvious the day he was arrested. He was more concerned about his own welfare than that of his mate and child.That was when Liam decided on this elaborate plan to protect them from the duke. Unfortunately, that young woman is now my son’s

AroraIt was inevitable. I was sure about that much. I couldn’t imagine the prince accepting me. Even if he wanted to, I couldn’t imagine his family accepting me. Didn’t he have to ask the king for permission or something? I wasn’t entirely sure how it worked. I never paid much attention to the royal protocol class since I never thought I would need any of it.I couldn’t imagine the moon goddess mating me to anyone important. Little did I know she even had it in for me. The worst part of all of this was that I hardly knew my father before he was … I shook my head as tears started to fill my eyes. Closing them tightly, I fought the sobs threatening to rip through me and forced my brain to sleep.It felt as though I had just fallen asleep when my mother burst through the door to wake me. As she ripped open the curtains, I pulled the covers over my head, trying to avoid the sunlight. I didn’t want to see the sunlight. I hated sunlight … I didn’t, but today I did. I wanted the darkness.“

AroraI didn’t want to go to the castle. I didn’t want to discuss whatever it was that the royals felt needed discussing. I had work to do around the house. Our roof was starting to leak and since mom and I couldn’t afford to pay for someone to fix it, I was planning on climbing up there myself.“Lady Irina, welcome to our home.” The new queen greeted my mother with a huge smile, and it almost looked as though the girl was just about to hug my mom when I noted the king taking her hand.“Thank you, your majesty. It is an honour to be here.” Mom gushed and I rolled my eyes.“And you must be Arora. It is a pleasure to meet you.” King Noah smiled, but it looked a little strained and I nearly laughed out loud. Fake! The lot of them! Not a single one would know what sincerity really was, even if it smacked them in the damn face.“I am pleased to meet you both.” I curtsied and purposefully didn’t refer to their titles, waiting for them to throw me out of the castle, but nobody would do me th

Arora“How long has it been like this?” Bernard looked furious and I shrugged.“Like this?” I pointed at the roof, pretending to think. “This probably happened some time this morning. It wasn’t that bad before.” I shrugged again, trying my best not to make a big deal out of it. I knew that the longer they hung around, the less chance there was of me getting up there today. I didn’t want them there, but I knew I had to grit and bear it. For now. For my mother’s sake.“Wait a minute! Is this what you wanted to fix? Were you supposed to be up there when all of this caved in?” Bernard frowned, but I could see concern and anger burning in his eyes. The man was smarter than I thought. I had hoped I had been vague enough.“Yes, she was, your highness. Ever since her father…” My mom spoke up when I didn’t say a word, but her voice trailed off for a moment before she regained her composure. “Arora has been trying her best to fix whatever she could with the limited resources we have.” All eyes

HelenaThe poor girl was probably suffering from a major case of whiplash, and it was all my fault. Okay, maybe not all of it, but it was mostly my fault. If I hadn’t brought it up, my family would probably only have realized it later on and not made such a huge fuss.We would have moved Arora and her mother into the castle the same way we did with all the royals and that would have been the end of it. Instead, I made a fuss and now the entire family was making a fuss, and it had become clear that Arora didn’t like it.She tried her best to hide her feelings, but she was failing miserably. She was a strong female. Like all the women in my family. She was the perfect mate for my son and I couldn’t have done a better job even if I had picked his mate myself.I just wished I could go back and do things differently, but what was done was done, and now I have to try and do better. Back when Arora’s father was sentenced, all we could think about was the threat to our kingdom and our people.
