Chapter 73 - Revenge

Sarah

“How did you know that her blood is needed to make the antidote?” The old bitch asked, trying to free herself from my magical strings.

“Well, since you have understood that I am a witch, I got a special power to read minds because of my mate. Not my fake mate but my real mate. So, ladies and gentleman, let me introduce you to my alpha mate, Milano Raymond.”

Milano came to me and kissed me in front of everyone, making me blush. Everyone including my family were in a reverie for a few seconds before they welcomed my announcement with claps and cheers.

“Jovita darling, I am so happy for you. Please tell me, if Grace is not our daughter, then where is our daughter?” Aunt Rachel asked with tears.

“Aunt Rachel, because of a heartless human and a cunning witch, two daughters of the Coleman family born as princesses lived the life of a maid. One daughter is standing in front of you. But I was lucky enough to be in the protection of my own grandmother. But the other daughter has spent 25 years of her life in a hell. She doesn't even know about the powers she has. Uncle Herman and aunt Rachel, that's your daughter Ileana. Mr Benedict Buchanan exchanged the babies with the help of that witch at the time of their birth. Let's hear the rest of the story from his own mouth.” I said,

Aunt Rachel and uncle Herman ran towards Ileana and she ducked herself as if she feared that they would beat her. We witnessed the reunion of a daughter with her parents. It's definitely going to take some time to make her feel safe. But I can definitely give her the appearance of her as a princess. She has to be freed from those rags she is wearing. Knowing my intention, Mary came forward and took Ileana to another room.

“Aunt Rachel, give her some time. She has gone through a lot and it will take time for her to accept the new life. But you can be glad that she got her wolf at eighteen. I could see that her wolf is so powerful that the wolfsbane given to her couldn't harm her wolf.” I said,

“Jovita, let me kill this bastard.” Uncle Herman began to take his wolf form.

“No uncle Herman, not yet. I need answers to a lot of questions. I would have killed him yesterday itself when I read his mind. He killed my parents and portrayed it as a car accident. Now speak up before I pull out your tongue.” I smashed Buchanan to the ground making him spit blood.

“Please don't kill me, I will tell you everything.” He pleaded.

“I don't want to hear a single lie from your mouth. You should begin from the very start.” I said,

“I was a struggling lawyer when I met Nancy. She saved me from a bunch of wolves. I got to know that she is a witch and the wolves who attacked me were not normal animals but werewolves. That's how I came to know about your kind. Nancy needed my help in some legal matters and she helped me to get rich through her magic. We needed each other and so we got married even though she was way older than me.” He sounded as regretting his decision.

“I had earned the name of best lawyer and at that time King Charles Coleman came to me with a case. I won the case and got appointed as their family lawyer. I actually proved myself as a werewolf in front of your father with the help of Nancy. I wanted to be the most powerful man on the earth. I know that werewolves are more powerful than humans. That's why I wanted to rule them. I knew the Coleman family tradition of becoming the king. King Charles hadn't found his mate and it was almost clear that he was going to be mateless. So, I planned to make my daughter the princess. Nancy had given birth to Grace a month before Mrs Coleman.

On the day Ileana was born, Nancy helped me to change the babies. She knew that once Grace comes to her senses, she will know the truth. But our plans were ruined when your father married your mother. But we were relieved as your mother was a human and she didn't want to be marked. But your mother was smart. She saved Harry from the rogues I sent. It was the same day your father got married without informing anyone. After that day our target changed. Next it was your parents' turn.”

“Because he got married and had the chance to have children.” I said,

“Yes, our aim was to kill your mother before she got pregnant. But it was nearly impossible to touch anyone in this palace. We understood that everyone in the palace was under protection. Then your mother conceived you and after your birth, we got an idea. We knew that Grace would never get the throne. But our son Derek could get it if we prove him to be your mate. We waited for the right time. That day, your parents were going for some trip. Nancy waited for them on a remote road and created that accident. She made sure to protect you from that accident.” His voice didn't have any regret for what he had done.

“Then why did you take me to my grandmother? Why didn't you bring me back to this palace?” I asked.

“We didn't want you to grow up as a princess. I wanted you to grow up as a human with no identity.” He said,

“And for that you paid my aunt to raise me as an ignorant dumb maid. You would have succeeded in your mission if my grandmother was not there. You had no idea that my grandma and mother were great witches who were more powerful than your wife. They were so powerful that no one could identify my mother as a witch. She lived like a human among the werewolves.

Do you know why my mother didn't want to be marked? She didn't want herself to be more powerful than her husband. My mother and grandma had the power to conceal my identity even from me. I didn't get my wolf when I was eighteen. I didn't know I could do magic until I was 23. This man whom the moon goddess has chosen as my mate helped me to get my identity. I should be thanking you Mr Buchanan. Introducing your son as my mate made me take the decision to let him mark me.” I could hear the gasps from the audience.

“So Mr Buchanan, let me give you my full introduction. I am Sarah, Luna of the nightfall pack, mother of his son Teddy and I am Princess Jovita Coleman.” I said,

“I would like to rectify something. She is not the mother of my son, instead I am the father of her son Teddy. Just a word, no just a signal from her and you will be shredded into pieces.” Milano growled at the man kneeling in front of us.

“I would like to know one thing before you proceed with your story. How much did you pay the Salazar family? Are you still in contact with them?” I asked.

“I paid half of my savings and they tried to betray me. They thought they could fool me by sending you away from that mansion. She wanted me to take her daughter to the palace and introduce her as princess Jovita. I understood their intentions and that's why they are paying for their deeds behind the bars.” He said,

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“I trapped them in a forgery case and they are facing their trials in the jail. Well your uncle escaped from the case. He had already left them after your grandmother's death.” He said,

“That's great news. Now I don't have to pay them a visit. Now tell me, why did you plan to kill Harry?” I asked.

“After your escape from the Salazar mansion, I tried my best to track you. I waited for 3 years to find you but there was no sign that you even existed. The whole Kingdom was waiting for you with the hope that you would return when you got your wolf. I made them wait for another 3 years but after that it was out of my control. Everyone wanted to declare Harry as the new king and Alpha. So I didn't have any other option except to kill him slowly.” He explained.

“One final question. Why did you kill Milano Raymond's wife Emma?”

My question made Milano look at me wide eyed. Another two pairs of eyes had the same shocking look.

“I am sorry Mr and Mrs Williams. I just wanted you to be present when the truth about your daughter's murder is revealed.”

I had specially invited them to witness the trial of their daughter's murderer.

“That's because of Grace. When she got to know that I was going to bring princess Jovita back to the palace and make Derek the king, she became furious. She wanted the throne. She either wanted the throne or I had to find her another prominent family who were not any less than the royals. I was already having business with Raymond. I knew that Mr Milano Raymond's wife was not his mate. So I approached the rogues and asked them to kill his wife. They already had some problems with the Raymond group. So, I just had to give some money and they did it by the time I went to get you. The only problem was the child. She died saving her child and some good witch helped her. I have been trying for the last 3 years to make Milano marry Grace.”

“Do you have any regrets over your deeds?” I asked.

“No, I don't. As long as the rogues are there I don't have to worry about anything. Just leave us or else be ready to face a rogue attack.”

Before he completed his words, a group of werewolves barged towards him and I knew they were rogues. Before anyone could react, they attacked Mr Buchanan. I witnessed the man who killed my parents and made my life a living hell being strangled to death. The rogues left after making sure that he was dead.

That is not what I planned to do. I wanted to make him cry for mercy. I wanted to torture to him and make him realise that death would be better than life. I suddenly felt empty like I had nothing to do. I looked at the three hanging in the mid air. What should be done? Let the new king take the decision.

“This is definitely not what I expected. I, Princess Jovita Coleman, with the power vested in me declare Harry Coleman as your new king and Alpha of the blue moon pack.”

“No Jovita, I won't be a good alpha. I am mateless.” Harry said,

“No, you are not. You have been kept away from your mate by the black magic. Just try to find her and you will definitely get her.” I said,

“I request all the members of the Coleman family to come forward and finish crowning our new king.”

After the crowning, King Harry made his first declaration.

“I request the two hybrids present here to take away all the magical powers from these two and make them a human with no powers. They will serve the Coleman family for the rest of their lives. Regarding Derek Buchanan, he will be bitten by our members and left to lead the life of a rogue.”
