Chapter 30
***“It is not the enemy that lurks outside your home that you should fear but the enemy that you dine and share a home with…” ~ Lucas Chaos***
An hour later, Chaos and her family made their way to Alpha River’s house and towards the conference room. Kiara was still smiling sweetly whiles the twins and their mother wore blank looks on their faces. As for Chaos, the look on her face was zero to none. Thanks to her new look, she looked scary and somewhat dead and funnily enough, that was exactly how she felt inside.
Alpha River sat in his conference room with a frown on his face. His parents and Tricia sat in the room when he didn’t remember sending for them. He had asked and he had been told Matthews had asked them to be here. He in turn questioned Matthews who refused to say anything other than, ‘I was ordered to get them here.’
Matthews had given him the same answer on the tenth questioning and he was about to snap when the door to the conference room burst open. The gasp that filled the room told him he wasn’t dreaming. His mate stood at the entrance with her family all decked in black just like her. As if they were attending a funeral. But that was not what caught his attention… it was the different version of his mate.
Her then black hair was now half black and half white and it was held up in a tight ponytail on top of her head. Her eyes were what unnerved him the most. The white in her eyes was almost non-existent with her now black pupil taking the majority space. And they looked dead. And her body was more filled than they were before. She looked hotter and provocative.
Everyone watched edgily as the family walked into the room and the locks fell into place. Causing all of them to gulp hard and shift uncomfortably in their seats. They didn’t know what was about to happen but their inner instincts were yelling at them to run which was impossible since the only door out has been locked and the only window in the conference room has already been bolted by Matthews the moment he stepped into the room.
“I’m glad you are all here because there are some things, I would like to discuss with you all” Chaos said rather calmly as she and her family found themselves seats to settle on
“I’m so glad you are doing well my dear” Felecia said with a soft smile on her face
“Are you sure? Because I find that very hard to believe” Kiara said icily
“Why would you say that Kiara?” Alpha River snapped
“Because all of you here are fucking hypocrites and liars” Chaos retorted
“Baby…” Alpha River started to say
“Don’t you fucking call me that again you filthy coward. Your baby is the bitch seating beside your mother”
Gasps resonated throughout the room as Kiara snickered loudly
“You are surprised. You all thought you could take me for a fool right. Well newsflash, I know and I’m damn hurt, pissed and crazed with anger. You disgust me the most Felecia. When I first walked into this pack, you greeted me with the same disgusting smile you gave to your son and his lover when you found them frolicking in the dining hall. The same smile you flashed me just now. You are a woman like me so how could you support your son to act this way towards me. How would you have felt if someone had done this to your daughter?”
“I… I …” Felecia started to say
“Don’t start with the excuses because I don’t want to hear it. And as for you Tricia, you wanted my poor excuse of a mate so now you can have him. I heard all you said when you were outside my hospital room and let me tell you today, that you will always be second. I do not care that you didn’t take part in my mating ceremony because you would have died before the ceremony had ended and death is too good for a worthless scum like you.
I curse you on the blood that runs through my veins that you will never find peace. You will never hear the cry of a baby that comes from your womb. You will never know what it’s like to have a mate because you will never find him. You will never meet him but I bind you to him. You will feel the pain and torment I went through every time you slept with my mate as he goes on with his life with a deserving woman.
He will find peace and solace with another woman whiles you wander the rest of your life in misery. You will never even know what a good night rest is anymore because I will be there every time you close your eyes to sleep to remind you of the fact that you messed with someone you shouldn’t have” Chaos bellowed as thunder crackled outside the conference room.
Silence followed after she was done with everyone staring at her in shock. Tricia snapped out of her daze with an agonized shriek startling everyone in the room.
“What have you done to me you bitch?” She said as she gasped for breath
“I have done to you what you did onto me with extra bonuses slut” Chaos replied flatly
“Who do you even think you are?”
“You should have asked that before you started to mess with my mate when I got here. But I will tell you anyway… I am Khione Dava Chaos, 3rd child to King Chaos and heir to his throne. My father is the King of Kings of the underworld and the lord of Lords of all darkness that exists in this realm and the other. You hear the source of all creation and my father is pointed at. He was there before creation and he will be there afterwards when you are all gone. You and your lover boy have doomed this pack in more ways than one.” Chaos spat at Tricia and smiled after she passed out from loss of breath
“What the fuck?” Alpha River cursed out for the first time whiles some of his men shifted uncomfortably in their seat. Chaos ignored him and turned to face the rest of the people in the room, she continued
“You should all look at the tattoo on your wrists. From where I come from it’s an abomination for the things to be separated. It was a mating ceremony but it turned out to be otherwise. Just because of you disloyal folks. You were all in on this and didn’t see sense to talk your alpha out of it.”
Putting her wrist up for all to see, she pointed to a mark on her elbow and said,
“This is what the mating mark was supposed to look like but your alpha chose a pussy over the glory of this pack. The people on this land do not know what it means and I ask that it stays that way. Let the innocent folks of this pack and outside enjoy the mark in peace because they are not at fault. They are just victims of this cruel game that your alpha and his lover decided to play”
Then she turned to face her mate who was staring blankly at her. Laughing bitterly, she said rather softly
“How stupid did you think I was? Cheating right under my nose and thinking that what I didn’t know won’t hurt me. Well boo fucking hoo, I found out and not only am I hurt but royally pissed too. I’m disgusted by a man like you. A leader nonetheless. You are supposed to lead this pack with humility, loyalty and honor but it seems you have none.”
“It’s not my fault you were unplanned and Tricia had already found a place in my heart” Alpha River retorted
“Then why did you sleep with me when you wanted another. Why did you go ahead with the ceremony?”
“You offered and everything I do is for the good of my pack”
“Well that’s good because I’ll let you know that I went ahead with the ceremony because of this pack too. They don’t need to pay for the sins of an undeserving man like you… You should have left me in my mother’s pack. I would have fared better there than being brought here and ridiculed behind my back. We may be werewolves, given everything a mere mortal may wish for in their wildest dreams but it came with a condition.
The goddess and fate took away the right to freely pick a beloved of our own choosing. And they did it for a good reason. I know you think they have wronged you by taking your choice away because of Tricia but you forget that I also had no choice in that matter. And if you had looked past your blind selfishness, you would have seen that too. I detest the day I laid eyes on you and it is funny how I don’t hate you but neither do I love you or like you.
I feel nothing towards you because you are just not worth it. I am telling you honestly today that if killing you was possible, I would have killed you a while back and enjoyed every moment of it. You are no man or mate to me. Nothing less than a spineless, heartless bastard who hides behind a façade of what he wants people to believe. I feel no honor in being your mate. If anything, I’m appalled and that is why I am not claiming the Luna title. I have alpha blood running through my veins. As from hence forth, I demand to be addressed as an alpha too and not a Luna”
“So that’s it. You are going to stay here and rub it in my face every time you get”
