Chapter 22 The Shocked Confrontation
Chapter 22
Lyra's POV
You have not used the smallest fraction of what I apportioned to you, oh! daughter of Asheteroth. Be bold. The evil you are fighting against are the last immortals among the mortals.” The word echoed into me. As I bow down my face from the reflection of light so big enough to blind me.
If care is not taken, they can even turn the back of the gods against the gods. But daughter of the moon goddess, I will be with you and stay by your side! I am you in flesh on the face of the earth.”
I kept quiet bowing down my head,
Don't ever be scared to use whatever I Asheteroth has given you against your enemies . You have a full moon, to unleash vengeance on your enemies.”
The word echoed into me, “one full moon,”
I could hear the distance fading away from Asheteroth’s warnings.
I spranged from the bed. Sweat narrowed down my face. I rubbed it off with the back of my hands. Then I saw it, instead of being wet, watery, like other sweat, it wasn't. It was a greenish liquid. A thick one. My skin too had turned pale green. It illuminated every part of the room.
Then I turned my gaze up to the doors, I thought it would be reflected by the door. But I was wrong. Completely wrong, instead it pierced through the door, like a knife through butter.
I turned my gaze to the left, a long distance away from my bed, from my room. I could hear them clearly, like they were sitting close to me.
I could hear them clearly, their gossip, and wicked plot against me. How they would carry it out. How one of them would steal an expensive jewelry from Rosa's room and come hide it in my room. The very time they would carry their plots, and who and how they would carry it out.
I changed my gaze to my far right. Everything was clear as daylight, I narrowed it further, overcoming and penetrating every room and quarters, to Jax's quarters. He wasn't in bed. I knew where he had been even if no one told me, then further again to the queen's quarters.
Then I saw them, Rosa and Caramel, together having their thing. Hot sex in the middle of the night. I checked the time, it was one AM in the morning.
Not the one with the moon that will be dancing in the sky, caressing every nook and cranny of the crescent pack but the one that would be substituted with the sun.
A reminder that nothing like the moon will ever touch the face of this pack not talk of beaming in the sky. Stark reminder of the evil they unleashed on my best friend Damien.
Queen, when will you call lyra into this thing, because I am not enjoying this enough, is that not the primary reason why we are brought in? To quench our taste?”
Why are you always in a hurry?” Rosa pulled her face away, which she had immersed between the legs of caramel. “ We need to keep our excesses beyond the wall of this room at first.”
The day rolled by. It marks the third day I have settled safely in this palace. The first part of my mission completed, my journey back into the stormfang pack.
Madam Ravenna had visited the room and told me that my duties on the roaster had been changed from cooking breakfast for the guards at the main gate in the morning to going to hall H to clean it up. The work there was much, it should take me nothing less than three hours to get it down.
I wasn't surprised, but rather I laughed inward. I am aware of their tricks including her two subordinates, Syra and Talia. These are the she-wolf I know have never been happy seeing him around
I watched them from where I was cleaning just like a few hours earlier when they were planning this. How they had taken the necklace from Rosa's room and went to hide in my bedroom.
I was so angry, what happened to Mila, should not happen to Lyra.
An hour later,
Who took my diamond necklace!” The words erupted from Rosa,
Call every living thing on duty to come here right now!” Rosa fumed again. Shaking her body aggressively.
Your high…” madam Ravenna uttered
“Any more words from you there!” Rosa shut out at madam Ravenna, pointing her fingers aggressively to her.
I am sorry your highness,”
Madam Ravenna paced out of her presence, I could hear her banging the door of every room.
Pilfering in the palace!” Rosa spit out in disgust. " That is not acceptable. I just escorted Caramel out of here, you came into my room and stole my diamond necklace.”
In a few minutes, everyone came out including myself, kneeling in front of Rosa, I tucked my head in the ground.
Who among you stole my necklace!” Rosa fumed, pointing to each one of us on the line. “You better start talking now because if I found out… “
I will instruct the elders to open the law book for you people, and you all know the repercussions.”
Rosa paused a bit, you all will be banished from this pack and never to take a pin along with you!
Then my eyeballs turned green, for the first time my wolf growled. No one sees any of this. Then I turned to Talia, I mindlinked the idiot. She shook a bit from where she knelt.
“Speak now! Confess your evil deed!” I ordered.
She wanted to fight it, but she couldn't. I choked her throat, and her body shook rhythmically from where she knelt.
Madam Ravenna, who had folded her arms and stood behind Rosa, watching everyone , dejectedly like she was a saint. Like she was not the master mind.
“She… was the one… who asked us to plant the…” Talia stammered, pointing her shaky fingers to Rosa’s direction. Sweat began to roll from her head to every part of her face like she had just her evening bath.
The room fell silent for a moment. I could easily hear her beat from where I was.
“Who?” Rosa turned to her. Her face beamed with anger.
Talia’s hand hung in the air, still pointing to Rosa's direction.
Rosa turned, it was only madam Ravenna behind her.
Madam Ravenna's eyes budged out in shock. The others on their knees with me on the same line suddenly turned their heads towards her.
“Me? Do you understand what you are saying? Are you insane? Are you mad? Are ….”
Rosa, who couldn't control anger anymore, was just eager to hear the final part of Talia's confession.
“Any more words from you there,” Rosa pointed to madam Ravenna without looking at her face while Rosa's concentration was on the she-wolf confessing her sins .
“She instructed myself and Syra to go and steal your necklace and go hide it in Lyra's room.”
“Syra, is that true?”
Syra shook her
in confirmation. I had hypnotized that one too.
“What?” Rosa’s brow narrowed, turning to madam Ravenna,” is that true?
