Chapter Six
Emily swung her gown behind her at every instance she got. Her breathtaking steps and angered face could not be ignored, while the maid tried to run behind and catch up with her full hasty steps.
“Alpha, the worst is happening this minute.” This time, Emily couldn’t afford to scream like she wanted to because the ceremony was still ongoing and she didn’t want to draw attention.
“What are you talking about, Emily?” Liam turned his head swiftly to look behind him as Emily was already towering over the edges of his chair and that of his parents.
“Your highness, I need to talk to you in private, please. This is a serious issue.”
The Alpha became concerned when Emily mentioned that. He watched her swell and boil from the inside out while furiously taking the heavy weight of her gown behind her. The Alpha leaned closer to his son Liam and settled a long gaze on him.
“Father, let’s just go and listen to her. Maybe the matter is an urgent one that can’t wait.”
With a persuasive thought, the Alpha stood up, followed by his Luna and Liam trailing behind them looking all exhausted from sitting for too long.
“And what is this that cannot wait until such an important ceremony that hosts the Lycan family? You know pretty well that this is the only way we can impress them and not bring their wrath upon us.” Liam lashed out at Emily immediately after they stepped into the empty room where she had been pacing around with anger written all over her face.
“Well, my prince, you won’t be needing to protect that reputation anymore. Everything we have worked hard for will soon be sabotaged by a very stupid girl.”
“What is this you speak of young lady? Make yourself clear and stop wasting our time.” The Alpha became impatient as he realized the issue might be important. He couldn’t risk anything that will bring a rift between him and the lycan royals.
“My Alpha, it is the same girl. Chloe.”
“What about Chloe now? What has she done this time?” Liam asked, almost gritting his teeth in anger and frustration.
“Calm down, son. You are only getting yourself worked all up for something that has no meaning, you should calm down and let’s hear what Emily has to say before you begin to lash out.” Liam’s mother said calmly. “I’m sure that whatever it is, we will be able to find a solution to it. Besides, what harm can one little girl do?”
“What is the matter with Chloe? Please say something and stop all of this suspense. It’s getting to everyone and we have something important to attend to.” The Luna said in a calm voice of understanding to Emily.
“While the guests were busy and the meeting was going on, I noticed Chloe excused herself. After a while and she hadn’t returned, I became suspicious of her activities. We all know what this night means for us. When I asked the maid, she told me Chloe had excused herself to use the restroom, although she was taking way too much time to return to her position. So, I decided to take a stroll and look for her myself. However, what I saw was beyond me. And I had to come and tell you all.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Emily quickly glanced around the room and noticed she had captured their attention just like she wanted. Then she cleared her throat and continued.
“I saw Chloe with the Lycan prince, he was holding her hands and standing close to her in a romantic way. I know it sounds unbelievable but you can ask the maid with me on my walk. Also, the lycan prince is missing from the room and you can already guess where he is.”
“What nonsense is this?!” Liam thundered. “Guard!!!! I want you to find Chloe and bring her here to me. Get her for me immediately!” Liam barked, anger etched across his features.
Emily was already feeling the drums of victory following Liam’s reaction to the news, she saw the angry faces of the Alpha and Luna too_____this gave her spirit some sort of joy and was overridden with excitement.
Soon the two guards that were sent by the prince to get Chloe had returned with her after requesting her presence from the lycan prince. Although he felt weary about it, he had to let her go but he kept an eye on the room she was taken to as he returned.
“What the hell were you thinking?” Liam grabbed Chloe immediately she was brought into the room. “Why were you out there? Why were you with the lycan prince? What did you tell him?” He was throwing multiple questions at her at the same time.
Chloe could feel the rage radiating from his body as he grabbed her arm painfully. She couldn’t even stand to look at the Alpha or Luna. She was in so much trouble.
“What were you doing in the garden with the Lycan prince? _____ Anyway, that will be none of my business because after now, you will receive the punishment as due to you and that is a promise.”
Liam’s hurting words continued loudly, taking every word in Chloe’s head and making her head spin badly.
“I needed to use the rest room so I went out but the Lycan prince came up to me. I didn’t go to him, he came to me and was questioning me on_______”
Chloe didn’t get a chance to complete her words as Liam cut in rudely.
“Shut your mouth up, right now.” He fired. “I don’t want to hear anything about it right now.”
Liam took Chloe’s hands as he lead her out of the hall where they all stood. He kept on dragging her alongside, hurting her wrist badly. When Aiden noticed and immediately began following them closely, Liam took her outside the pack and finally throws her off balance in front of him.
Liam raised his voice as he began spilling everything he could afford in his mouth to Chloe. She took his insult with pain and regret in her eyes. ‘How can she be so defenseless?’ she thought.
“You went off from the position you were asked to stay in and began roaming the entire palace looking for whom would scream your cheap name. Is this all you do? You render yourself so cheap and ready for whatever opportunity you have to take advantage of other people right?”
Chloe couldn’t help it anymore as soft tears began rolling slowly down her fat cheek, she wiped them off with the back of her palms and refused to be intimidated.
“I am not even surprised, your family is cheap and a sell-out. I’m not surprised you are_______”
Chloe couldn’t stand the insult he poured on her family. Before she could regain her composure, she slapped him and silence settled between them.
