Chapter 62: Chapter 62

Eliana's Point of View

I felt so bad about what happened with Ashley the night before. I knew she was angry with me because I didn't tell her that she was James's fated mate. I had known for a while and kept it from her even after she told me how she was confused about her feelings for him. I knew she had a right to feel hurt. I also knew that it wasn't my place to tell her that they were fated mates. James should be the one to tell her that.

At breakfast, she sat far away from me and didn't even look my way. Killian told me that I shouldn't worry about it and that she would get over it. I wasn't so sure. She seemed really hurt and that made me feel really bad.

Now I in a conference room that was in the castle with Syrus, Helena, Cayson, William, Catherine, James, and Killian. the news reporter was sitting across from us and the camera's were rolling. I was nervous about speaking out to everyone even more nervous then when I spoke out at the school when William and Catherine brought the news reporters.

"King Syrus, I have heard that this is your daughter," the reporter said

"Yes, Eliana is my daughter. She is my firstborn," Syrus said

"That is shocking to everyone. I want to ask what everyone is asking. Why are you just now introducing her to us?'

"Well I thought i was doing what was best for her, letting Human leader Charles take care of her. her mother and Charles were fated mates/ They met when she was pregnant with Eliana. I thought he cared about her like his own daughter but I was wrong. Knowing what I know now I wish I would have taken Eliana away. I always wanted her as my daughter. I wanted to raise her with Cayson but I didn't want to take her away from the only family she knew. Charles abused Eliana and I am going to make sure he doesn''t geta way with what he did to her."

"Princess Eliana, I would like to hear from you. Are you comfortable with telling us what you went through with Human Leader Charles?"

"No, Eliana is not..." Killian started to day but I cut him off

"Yes, I will speak..."

Lilian's Point of View

"Human Leader Charles never treated me like his daughter. He would abuse me constantly. He would whip me and lock me in the basement for days without anything to eat. I'd been to the hospital numerous times for injuries that I have sustained because of his abuse. Vera also abused me. "

"That is horrible," the reporter said and my dad threw a glass at the wall

"I can't believe this bitch would go on the news and say these things. She is so ungrateful. She should be happy that I kept her after what she had done to her mother. I should have kicked her out on the streets," My dad said

"I told you that she never really cared for us and everything we have done for her. You should have sent her away long ago. Because of her actions you we are being investigated," My mom said

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it now?" My dad growled before he got up and got the door. There had been so many investigators coming to our house and questioning us since the accusation about my dad abusing Eliana came up. I was so pissed. Not only did she kick me out of the house, but she also told the media about what my dad did to her. Yes, I will admit that my dad did abuse Eliana but he had his reasons. He was trying to make her a better person.

I was shocked when she told me that I had to leave. She always looked out for me and would do anything to make me happy, but now she had changed. I blamed it on Killian. Ever since she got with him she had been different. IN the past, if I would have asked her to tell the media that my dad and mom never abused her, she would have done it without any problems. Now she is telling the world what happened to her.

My dad opened the door, and Benjamin was standing there

"Hello, Benjamin, come in," My mom said, and he walked inside. Benjamin was a member of the human council and one of my parents' good friends. He and my mom had grown up together and had known each other since they were kids.

"We have a problem," Benjamin said

"What?" My mom asked

"The leaders of the council are very pissed off about this situation. All the council leaders from all over are furious about the situation with you and Eliana. Todd plans to take this to trial," Benjamin said

Todd was one the main human councilmen. He only showed up when things were serious. This was definitely not good

"Fuck. We have to do something," My mom said

"The only thing that can help us is if Eliana takes back everything she said," Benjamin said

"Lillian, we need you to go and talk to her. She will listen to you if you let her see how upset you are," My mom said

"I don't think that will work. She is upset with me and kicked me out of the house," I replied

"You need to do whatever is necessary to make her think that you are sorry for what happened. We have to get her to say she made it all up, or we will all pay severely for this. I don't want to lose my position, and if she tells everyone that I have seen you abuse her, that is exactly what will happen," Benjamin said

"Yeah, Benjamin is right. You need to make her think that you are sorry and show her how hurt you are. You are the only one who can help us. I know you don't want to see your parents in trouble," my mom said, making me feel bad

"Okay, Mom. I will do what you say."
