Chapter 73: Forever

Reene’s pov

The woman stopped and looked at me.

I always hoped that she would one day come to see me, that even for a few hours she would come and stand in front of me.

Now that she is here all I want is to gauge out her eyes and feed them to the lions.

When I think of all the times I waiting for her on my birthday hoping she would remember the day she became a mother.

I looked around; this whole scene makes me want to puke just looking at it.

The father who had everything and knew or my existence but didn’t reach out at all.

Hell, even my so called mother is the same.

I was hated and treated like some abomination, and I never knew why.

They didn’t reach out one time, and now they suddenly care about their dead daughter.

“Hello Reene, I have been waiting to meet you for so long.

You are as beautiful as I imagined” the woman said.

“Really?

What is this?

Don’t tell me that you bought me here to build a mother daughter relationship.

Or a father daughter relationship, you are a little late don’t you think?” I asked looking at them.

“Please Reene have a sit so we can talk about it,

Elizabeth you sit as well.

We will talk about your little stunt later” Marcus Thorne said.

Everyone sat down, I noticed how quiet Lucas was as if he was scared to even make a sound.

“Please bring the food, I didn’t know what you liked so I ordered a bit of everything” Marcus added.

“I was dead for months; trust me I could eat just about anything” I said, and he chuckled.

“Its not a good feeling dying right? Well, I think you all had it better, I was dead for years before I woke up” he said like it was a really normal thing.

Well to them I guess it is a normal thing.

“For years? Why years?” I asked him as we started eating and everyone was just listening to us talk.

“I was one of the few first experiments, they used me and others to make us immortal.

I was the only one that woke up from that experiment, it took years for them to perfect it after me” he answered, and I nodded.

“What I don’t understand is that immortal witches cant procreate so how did you have me?” I asked him and he smiled.

“Well, I have also been doing research of my own, you see I died before I could have kids.

I wanted kids of my own and here you are, my beautiful daughter” he said.

I frowned at this, so this man had me through experiments because he just wanted kids of his own.

“Could you explain further about how they came to be more of you?” I asked him and he nodded.

“When I was created, and the experiment was successful my blood was used for a ritual. In that ritual newly born kids were turned to immortal witches. Since their bodies were still forming and evolving they could easily evolve and adapt with my immortal genes. When they grew up they had kids and so the gene was passed on. If you had kids before you died then your kids would have been immortal witches as well. We can’t procreate once we are dead” he explained, and I nodded.

“That’s because something that doesn’t have life cant give life. The dead should remain dead” Elizabeth said.

“Everyone here is dead Lizzie, when you say that you are breaking my heart” Marcus said with a smirk.

“He forgot to tell you an important issue, the fact that you will not be your old self” Elizabeth said completely ignoring her husband.

If she doesn’t like immortal witches then why marry one and even go as far and having a child with him?

“You turn into a heartless robot with no pure emotions or feelings” she added and looked at Marcus.

“Don’t mind your mother, we had a little fight before she left.

She Is still a little angry about it” he said.

“What do you want me?

I am your daughter, but you have never shown interest in me, why show it now?” I asked them.

“Because I made a promise to your mother, if it was up to me you would have grown up right by my side” Marcus said.

“You probably resent me for the decision I made.

But my mother gave me the greatest life I could ever have when I was growing up.

I just wanted you to experience the same and I knew you wouldn’t get it from us” Elizabeth explained.

I honestly don’t care what reasons they have or why they didn’t care about me.

Hell, I don’t care about them at all, all I feel when I look at them is nothing but anger.

“I don’t care, whatever you did doesn’t matter to me anymore.

Just like how you don’t matter to me anymore, but I want what I deserve and the life you deprived me off” I said looking at Marcus.

“My kingdom is yours princess, everything I own is yours to do as you please with it” he said with a smirk.

“Hey, you, bring my food upstairs, for some reason I think that if I stay and eat here I might vomit” I said getting up and leaving.

I got upstairs and looked outside the large window of the penthouse.

The world is now at my feet, what do I do now that I have forever to live?

Do I get revenge on everyone who wronged me first?

Just the idea of existing in the same world as them makes my blood boil.

There was a knock on the door when I opened I found Lucas standing there.

“How did you like your family?” he asked me, and I rolled my eyes.

He started walking closer to me, “we couldn’t talk properly tonight but I want us to talk now” he said.

He then put his hands or my waist and pulled me closer to him.

“You and I now have forever, lets spend it by each other’s side.

I told you that you are my Queen, should I show you how a Queen is treated?

Let me erase any memories of that Lycan from your body” he said, and I closed the distance between us.

“Touch me like that again and I will ring your stupid neck” I said and pushed him away.

“Make no mistake Lucas, I didn’t make a deal with you, but that man called my father did.

If I say I don’t want to marry then that’s it.

So don’t push your luck and get out of my face” I said which made him frown.

“Fine, like I said, you and I have forever now so you will slowly come around. After all forever is a long time” he said with a smirk.

“There is someone I would like you to meet tomorrow” he said and then left without telling me more details.

I will have to ask Marcus to find me someone who will help me navigate this world.

I wont be following around the orders of Marcus like some idiot, hell I refuse that.

I went to bed;

I can hardly sleep because I get nightmares every time when I close my eyes.

What the hell?

What did Marcus go through then?

He was in the abyss for years and I was only there for months, but that place has eaten a part of me.

Is that the price of this great power we now have?

The next morning there was knock on the door.

I opened to find Lucas standing there with a smirk.

“cant sleep huh? Its like that the first few years but you will get used to it” he said.

Did he just say years?

It is like that for the first few years?

I am still going to have these nightmares for years.

But I guess considering that I now have forever to live its a small price to pay.

“Get ready, the people that wanted to meet you are here” he said, and I nodded and got ready.

I bet its Marcus, I wore some jeans and a shirt and followed him downstairs to the restaurant.

The moment we stepped out of the elevator someone engulfed me in a hug.

“You really are still alive; I am glad you are alive” he said kissing my face.

He paused to look at my face when he didn’t receive any response.

“Could you let go of me? or do you prefer I break your hands?” I asked him.

Logan’s eyes went wide, and he turned around to look at Alexa, Sean, and Amy.

“Are these the people you called me to come and see?

Really Lucas?

Well, it’s my fault for trusting an idiot like you” I said and turned to leave.

“If you don’t talk to them they will keep coming back, they have been bothering me ever since you came back.

Shouldn’t you deal with it now and get it out of your way?” Lucas asked.

“You are just trying to settle a personal vendetta, but you are right” I said and turned around and looked at them.

“What brings you here?” I asked them.
