Semua Bab The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Even though the stench of rotting vegetables filled the air, this was the safest place for me—for now. My knees were still shaking from seeing Catherine slap Wanda so hard. It was something I had never imagined."Is Catherine defending me?" I muttered in disbelief."She's defending herself," Lona replied calmly."What do you mean?""Can't you see it? Catherine is trying to gain King Elijah's trust," Lona scoffed. "She'll do anything, even slap her own daughter.""So it's just an act?" I asked."I think so," Lona replied.Lona explained that Catherine would do whatever it took to keep her position until Elijah crowned her Queen Luna. If Wanda's behavior made Elijah unsympathetic, it would jeopardize Catherine's plans."But they're not mates, are they? How could they ever be together?" I asked, confused."It doesn't matter as long as Catherine ends up on the throne.""Even then, Elijah could still dethrone her or cast her out, couldn't he?""That would be difficult because of Catherine'

"No!" I screamed.I struggled, but the guards dragged me back inside the palace to the main hall.Elena, you sneaky snake!After Vincent risked everything to help me escape Tracy and Benson's clutches, Elena pulled this outrageous stunt.Cold sweat dripped down my back as we approached the main hall doors. My hands felt numb from the guards' tight grip. The guards at the door gave me confused looks, but Elena quickly ordered them to open the doors.I caught Elena casting a triumphant glance in my direction, a mischievous smile on her lips, before she strutted confidently into the hall. As expected, all eyes turned to her entrance and mine. Gasps rippled through the room as they saw me being escorted in."Is that the fake Luna?""Why is she being brought here? Has she caused trouble again?""An Omega in the middle of a royal celebration? What is Beta Elena thinking?"The whispered judgments filled the air, loud enough for me to hear every word. I forced myself to keep my head down. Thi

"You insolent Omega!" Catherine snapped. "King Elijah almost lost his life because of you! You should just die!"I held my cheek where Catherine slapped me and glared back at her more defiantly. She could say whatever she wanted about me, but I had never intended to hurt Elijah. Hearing her words made Lona angry as well."How dare you look me in the eye, Omega? You have no remorse at all, do you?" Catherine hissed."I am ready to die if anything happens to King Elijah," I replied firmly. "I never wanted anything to happen to him, not even a hair on his head."Catherine scoffed. "Then don't you see Elijah lying there? Are you blind? And who do you think is responsible for this?""Wolfsbane."The interrupting voice came from Vincent, who was now standing behind Catherine. "Someone set it on fire on purpose to harm Delilah. She was even locked up in an abandoned barn near the stables."Catherine looked stunned. "That's impossible, Beta Vincent. Why would she be there? Isn't it her job to

After that incident, the atmosphere in the palace remained tense. I still felt the aftermath, even though no one treated me rudely anymore; instead, they avoided me. As if I were a problem or the bearer of bad luck.Well, they pretended I didn't exist, which might be better.Besides, I didn't have to deal with many wolves in the back of the kitchen, just Rowena, the head maid. Her attitude had softened a bit, though I wasn't sure for how long. Maybe until the whole barn incident finally faded into the background."All done," I sighed, throwing the last potato into the basin.I stood up, cleaned the knife, and put it back in its place. Then I carried the basin into the kitchen, where Rowena immediately approached me."Are you done?" she asked.Rowena had been asking me that for the last few days. It was a little annoying, to be honest, since she always scowled at me."Yes, ma'am." I nodded. "Is there anything else I need to do?"Since I worked quickly, I was given extra tasks like wash

"I don't know if I should be happy or sad," I murmured quietly.Lona chuckled slightly, her voice melodic. She was a beautiful and graceful wolf with pristine white fur—the kind I had only seen once in the magical realm. It still amazed me that I was bonded to a wolf like her."Which part? Elijah letting you go, or have to work for Bishop?" she asked."Both."Truthfully, I was more concerned about the task Bishop had given me. He had ordered me to study the history of the kingdom from the beginning. These were ancient transcripts written in an ancient language that I had to learn.Wasn't my job just to organize the books and take notes? That's what he clearly told me.Why was I suddenly expected to learn an ancient language and history? This was beyond my expectations."What are these symbols?" I groaned.Luckily, Bishop wasn't around to hear me complain. He clarified that I had to finish several history books in just one week. This was a tough challenge. Oh, my Goddess!I slumped for
