CHAPTER 87
TYSON
She looked confused as if she did something wrong and straddled me over and I sighed.
"Wait.." I blurted out of the blue and her eyes widened.
"Did I do anything wrong?"
"No…not at all, I'm just tired. I'm sorry, let's do that some other time."
She nodded but the disappointment in her face was so evident but I tossed it aside.
I didn't want it to feel as if I'm being irritated at what she's doing which would hurt her more.
"I won't be able to attend the festival" I told her
"Why?" She scoffed at me.
"Why? You know how obnoxious your mum can be when sees me talking more about attending this royal event."
"Stop being silly Marcella, anyone can attend this festival."
"You don't get it Tyson, I don't want to be anybody. I want to be with the Mudvilles. I want to sit next to you."
I swallowed and understood her point, that's not going to work. Mum will gouge her eyes out.
"I'm sorry, but just hang around okay. We'll sort this out soon."
She nodded and the door released a knocking sound.
"Yeah, come in."
Tyler pushed the door and poked in but his face fell when he saw Marcella next to me, half dressed.
"You should get dressed, your presence will be required soon and your mum is coming over " He looked at Marcella over as if he was sending a warning.
I nodded and watched him leave while I went to the dresser to fetch the attire. I hope Kyle doesn't spoil this one for me.
I had to rush the festival cause I want to get it done with and face other challenges lurking in the pack.
As much as I hate to admit it, Zenevieva was right.
I was too busy plotting her downfall when I knew nothing about my pack. I had no ideas about what goes in and what comes out and the little I had made some enquiry about, I noticed that there might be some serious fight soon.
Some strange rogues have lurked around as spies and thieves to cause some kind of destruction. Several complaints were laid to Tyler to inform but the idiot chose to keep quiet and I confronted him about it, he called me a baby king, that my responsibility was solely on Zenevieva and I should continue my shit.
I went mad.
Not at him or anyone but myself, this is not what I promised to do once I'm King. I wanted to set things right and correct the wrongs of my father.
I might not be saying it often but Dad was a ruthless tyrannic King and doesn't give a fuck about anyone's suggestions.
He became remorseful recently but that didn't stop his ruthless acts in the pasts and the damage he's caused, the family he's slain and the wars he's fought.
He was powerful but he misused his powers and his wolf differently.
Looking into what he has done and what I'm doing now makes no difference. He did worse things and I'm doing nothing to correct or worsen them.
So I'm going to shove all those silly charades of trying to terminate Zenevieva and face my pack. I'll leave her to Collette and Marcella.
"Go to Collette's room, Mum would be here and it won't be funny. She warned me Marcella."
"And you can't defend me?" She slammed heavily and I closed my eyes in frustration.
Here we go again.
"It's not like that babe, My mum and the whole palace as a whole is against me having an affair aside from the Queen and my mum has this precious love for you that she will rip your eyes out once she sets her eyes on you. You need to understand, I can't shove her away or shut her up, she's my mother!"
"That's a very lame excuse, you know."
She flipped her hair and walked up to me .
"Your mother doesn't have a say in what makes you happy. I can't have you now and I can't be with you when I want? Common Tyson, you need to let her know your stand that you were being forced to marry that girl against your will. I've been fleeing away from your mum for the past years and I'm not doing that again. If you can't man up and tell her as the king that I stay whenever I want, then I'll know that everything you've been saying to me was nothing but a fallacy.
You can't even prove your so called love to me"
She broke down crying and I ruffled my hair in frustration and groaned.
"Fine!!" I yelled.
"But don't say a word to my mum if you love your face. You're literally saying that I should defend you and receive all the slaps that will deter my skin to prove my love right? Jeez Marcella.."
"Yes, at least for now. I want to be free around you and she should accept that."
I rolled my eyes and dropped the blue silk cotton fabric on the bed and closed the dresser.
"I'll try and-"
The door slammed open and my heart slammed.
Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to say shit to Marcella cause my mum just barged in looking like an angry dog ready to bite as if someone stole her puppy or her food was stolen.
"What the heck are you still doing here Huh? Do you want to add to the pending punishment already?"
I cursed and shook my head, I totally forgot that I violated the rules and I must live by example.
Shit!!
"I'm almost dressed mum, can you excuse me now?"
"I will but make sure you are at your best behavior today and don't you dare disgrace me. Zenevieva is already seated and the whole crowd is looking for the king?"
"Jeez! The festival has already started?"
"You silly thing! Weren't you the one that fixed the whole thing at rocket time?" Her face finally landed on Marcella who had been standing behind the dresser and my heart churned.
"What did I say about her?"
"Mum please, can you just…go? I'll be out In a jiffy."
She slapped me so hard that I reeled back in shock and staggered.
"Mum!" I gasped
"Get out, now!" She screamed at Marcella.
"I'll file a heavy complaint to the Alpha of her pack to remove her father as the Beta since she's chosen to act so frivolous and go against the ethics of this pack!"
I gasped, Marcella gasped and her eyes shot up.
"Don't!"
"What? You have a queen and she is still sticking to you like glue! You don't even deserve the Queen but you're lucky to be with her and you take for granted and act so trivial? How dare you Tyson?"
"Mum, don't file any complaints to any Alpha. You know they will approve it in a go since it's coming from Mudville pack, please "
"Too late, you make me always sound as if I really dislike her when I totally detest her existence, I hate her! When a woman doesn't have dignity, morals and integrity for herself, we are potentially enemies. And as long I'm alive, I won't let you thread in a path that will lead you to destruction."
I swallowed as those words hit me so hard like a volcano and I wonder how Marcella would be feeling right now.
"That's enough Mum. It's enough! I've tolerated this for too long because I love and respect you but who the heck decides the kind of person someone wants. I'm doing this bullshit for the Pack's and not because I'm happy to fulfill it."
"That's why you're so stupid and childish Tyson! You're so ignorant and you'll come to realize that fact."
"Spare me mum and that's enough with the embarrassment. I love Marcella and it's okay if she not Queen now but you should try and accept her cause someday, she will sit with me on that throne. I'm done trying to fight this!" I yelled and she laughed out and stared at Marcella.
"Then you shouldn't have belonged to Mudville darling, you have her; you lose the throne and Tyler takes over. Stop acting as if you're my only son!" She slammed hard and tears burned the back of my eyes..
Why is she so hellbent on making life worse for me?
The drive she just gave me right now is to pin Zenevieva to the floor and twist her neck to a cold death so I would see how she would use that to make me vulnerable.
I would love to see if she will still ask Tyler to take over if my so-called mate is dead and her only son sits and watches.
She cherishes this girl so much that it irks me to think that she might even be her long lost daughter.
Zenevieva would be gone and Infa
ct I'm supporting Marcella and Collette with everything I have.
I smirked at my mum and bit my lips.
"We'll see about that mum."
