Chapter 113
ZENEVIEVA
There was no way I was going to reveal to these people how knowledgeable I am about healing. Never!!
I was tainted and mocked before and I didn't want any attention right now.
"Go and call the pack doctors and physicians," I told them.
"Okay." They bowed and almost left but I stopped them.
"Where's Tyson?" I used them.
"He left with his beta to figure out something " He replied and I nodded.
"Okay, just do as I've said, and don't let the Queen panic about anything, tell her that the king is okay and needs to be alone."
I told them and they scurried out hurriedly.
The king wasn't okay at all, it was what brought fear to the eyes of the guards before they had no choice but to come to me.
The Queen will overreact but reaching out to me was the least of what I expected.
I sighed Inwardly as pains clouded my thoughts.
I should just kill him to death right now, maybe that would stop the burning pain of revenge on my heart.
My parents were murdered coldly by his orders and I wanted to know why?
I still couldn't believe that he would be that king. I've tried to figure out who my parents offended but it was useless.
I became an orphan and a rogue, and my people suffered the same fate.
I became an animal by living in the woods and finding refuge in wild trees and fruits.
"He shouldn't die!!"
My wolf howled at me in anger.
"We should make him live and torment him or ask him why he did that to your family!"
I nodded and wiped my tears.
Now Tyson has his traits, arrogant, devilish and so shabby.
Does he even know his way around the pack as the Alpha or was it just to flaunt his looks as the king and give useless orders to fit his satisfaction?
He coughed out blood this time around and I hurried out of the room to the garden.
The antidote of his illness was right in front of them but they will never know.
A wild vine leaf for different illnesses whose juice was as bitter as vinegar.
I rushed back to the room and ground it, making sure everything was neat and fast before anyone came in.
After squeezing the juice out from the leaves into a cup, I hurriedly raised his head and forced his mouth open to gulp the contents.
He was weak and I wondered what triggered this sudden illness. It's as if he went back to square one, ten times worse.
I made sure I mopped his head, neck, and arm with cold water and a towel as he was burning hot.
I can't believe I'm taking care of my parent's murderer.
I want to yell and scream and stab him back to death but my heart won't just let me.
The guards knocked and came in while I thanked my Stars that I was already done.
"Where are they?" I asked them.
"They are here already, my Queen." They replied and I scoffed at the title and asked them to come in and examine him closely.
"His temperature seems to be waning down to normal which is strange cause three days ago his body was on fire." The doctor said and I shrugged.
"I'll take my leave then, please pay attention to his health status."
I said and left.
Those doctors would never treat the king, rather they would increase his sickness which means that I would be here to check on him every day again.
I sighed deeply and closed my eyes when I felt a scent before me and snapped my eyes open again.
"Ethan," I say bowing down sarcastically and he scoffed.
"You should bow very low next time, I want to see your back."
He smirked and I scoffed.
"You're unbelievable, I expected you to say otherwise."
"Who would I? A lot would be privileged if I told them that. It's rare to receive orders from a hot Alpha like me?" He bragged.
"You're worse than a peacock," I told him.
"I know, it's good to see you alive. You made the whole pack worried, I was worried."
Wow!
Ethan was worried about me. That's…surprising.
"I guess I wanted to see who cared about me first." I smiled playfully at him.
"That's absurd, don't try that next time or Kyle will burn the building."
I swallowed hard and glared at him.
"What? You think I'm not aware that Kyle…"
I covered his mouth with my palms and dragged him away from the midst of the maids and guards to somewhere more private.
"Stop!" I yelled and felt so uncomfortable.
"Why are you so shy about it? I didn't believe it at first but I made findings and knew the truth.
The Alpha commander liked you a lot and that hurts me straight to the bone."
My heart slammed rapidly at his statement.
"What do you mean?" I asked, frowning at him.
"I mean…it's already too painful that Tyson has you, I dislike that jerk a lot but nature blessed him with a mate like you and you appeared in my pack like a thief and stole two things."
He scoffed painfully and I wondered why he was suddenly reacting that way.
"And now, Kyle?" He scoffed.
"What are you talking about Ethan?" I was getting impatient at his display of emotions.
"Fine, it won't change anything after all. I just hate you."
I gasped in shock and shifted back from him but he came nearer.
"I hate the fact that you exist, it's annoying as hell.
You're not only betrothed to me but you're also wanted by another powerful being that I can't even dare face and my heart won't stop doing this flop-flip nonsense anytime I think about you or see you.
It fucking hurts and I don't care anymore, I know it's stupid to say that but I can't help it.
I went bat shit crazy when you were stabbed." He confessed and I gasped.
Oh my god!!
What the hell am I hearing from this guy right now?
My ears are heavy, my heart is pounding and my eyes are watery.
Ethan didn't just confess his feelings before me, right?
No, he didn't! Please tell me he's not referring to me.
"That's why I hate you, it takes days and months for me to get attracted to the opposite gender but it took a day for my mind to shut down.
I won't fight 'cause I know Tyson will kill me, Kyle will bury me.
I just like you a lot Zenevieva and I don't know why, but my heart will be ripped to pieces if you don't end up with the person that makes you happy. "
He smiled and patted my head before turning to leave but he stopped.
"Uhmm…. I had to say that because I needed to be free and I found my mate to whom I'm least attracted, I rejected her on the spot. I forbid such mate "
"Ethan…" my voice was in whispers that my heart tugged painfully.
But why does it hurt hearing such things from him?
I've not known him that long aside from the fact that he's a random hot arrogant Prince that talks highly of himself.
Why do I feel so bad for him, what's there to like in me?
"It's okay Zenevieva, you don't need to say anything." He smiled painfully.
"Why didn't you say anything, Ethan? How can you like someone you barely know?" I yelled at him but he laughed.
"Like?" He scoffed and ruffled his hair.
"I don't like you Zenevieva, I'm crazy about you. From the first day, I set my eyes on you. I didn't say anything cause I thought that my perverted self was taking over me and would soon fade but I was wrong.
You had Tyson!" He said as if he said nothing and I shook my head in disbelief
"You're so stupid!!" I yelled in anger.
"I know" He bit his lip painfully.
"You're silly for keeping quiet! I knew you before Kyle and I admired you before Kyle but I knew that I had to face fate and get focused. I was going through hell and Kyle lifted me from that burning furnace.
Don't make me feel awful by saying such words. My mind is already in a mess, please don't add to it." I lamented bitterly.
"Stop blaming me, you think my mother would accept the Queen or mate of Mudville Alpha Into our pack? I was also going through a lot. I'm sorry if stating how I felt was a crime." He yelled and I felt so sorry for him.
"Ethan?" I gasped painfully and he swallowed.
"I'm glad you're okay, I was just scared you were going to die without telling you how I felt, it was scary. I won't fight you…never.
But I would go crazy if anything happens to you again. Stay happy, dear Luna."
He smirked at me and smiled while he turned and left.
It hurts.
For him, for me.
Why was my life a mess? Why didn't the moon goddess give me these as my mate? I couldn't have found Kyle, my life wouldn't be as horrible as it seemed right now, no one would be getting hurt and I won't be behaving like a slut when Tyson touches me.
I ran to meet him.
"Wait!"
He cocked his head in question but I dragged him back to our previous hideout and threw my arms over him.
I hugged him tightly and smiled.
"I'm sorry Ethan."
He scoffed and wrapped his hands around my waist, rocking my hair slowly.
"I know, thank you."
We stood there for some moments until I felt his muscles relax only to see him freeze and tense again before me.
"Are you okay?" I asked while still hugging him but he won't say anything until I disentangle myself.
"Hey, stop it already and go
. Thanks for caring."
Well, he didn't say a thing until I followed his line of direction and I cursed.
Collette was standing with Marcella with blazing eyes, staring daggers at the both of us.
