CHAPTER 30
TYSON.
"Not in the mood mum!"
"Not in the mood? Why did you pick up the crown if you weren't ready for responsibilities? Tell me! You think it's all about being chaotic toward Zenevieva huh? The Packs festival is screaming and you've done nothing, you haven't sent words to the guards and you haven't visited prominent places to inform them about it!" My mum ranted out angrily, her eyes sparkling with warning that made me groan.
"They are aware already, do I need to do that like every year?"
"You're not asking me such a stupid question! Wait until the throne is being snatched from you then you will ask the moon goddess such nonsense." She seethed, eyeing me like I've gone crazy.
"No one is taking my throne!" I retorted.
"Of course, until you don't perform your duties as the King, then a prophecy for a responsible one to take over the throne will be revealed and you will lose everything."
Fear would have gripped me if I was a complete novice or had zero idea about the throne, family, and pack.
My mum was just bent on making life worse for me.
"Zenevieva should be released ASAP!" She yelled but I shook my head in disapproval.
"Never!!"
"She has a huge responsibility to play in this festival!"
"I will take over Mum, I'm still the princess of this pack!" Collette said emerging from outside and smiled at Mum sarcastically.
"You're not Luna, Collette, don't suggest nonsense!"
"I'm the princess and Tyson is my brother, we'll just give them a flimsy excuse about her and I will sit in her place."
My mum stared at the both if us as we've suddenly free time head and her wolf surge out in anger her eyes blazed and I knew we had to take things slow or she might flare up.
"That's impossible!" Her voice was dangerously low, staring at us calmy.
"It's possible mum" Collette insisted and a thunderous slap landed on her face and she fell from that impact.
"Don't you dare talk back to me!!"
"I'm sorry!" Collette murmured .
"Tyson!"
"No mum, you don't have a say in this?"
"You think I don't know you broke that plaque?"
My blood freezes instantly.
Collette turned to stare at me with wide-opened eyes.
"I..w.. would….never do that, you're saying this to save Zenevieva!"
"I sent my guards to go after her that night to White Cave but she had already disappeared but I could still feel my plaque in this palace even after she left."
"H..how?" I was shocked.
"You stupid son!! Did you think that the moon goddess would give anyone a random plaque? It's a plaque with divine powers and it connects your wolf to it.
Why does it glitter when it's being presented as proof? It shows that person is so alive and that's a true royalty!!"
"It doesn't change a thing, She broke it by being too stubborn."
"You flogged her naked for something she knew nothing about. How would you feel if your sister was treated that way Tyson…are you sure you have a wolf in you or did you turn it into a beast too? I didn't raise you this way "
Her voice broke and a tear rolled down her eyes.
"Mum!" Collette gasped in shock and I stiffened, she's never seen Mum shed a tear all her life.
She got up and became so furious at once and her actions surprised me.
"Are you crying because of Zenevieva, because of that rogue that came into our lives to cause an uproar?"
She laughed bitterly and went closer.
"When dad was almost at the point of death, I didn't see a flicker of emotions, when I cried about not having a mate, you didn't make a sound. I wouldn't even talk about my brother…you showed no empathy!!! Zenevieva appeared from nowhere and you're head over heels"
Collette cried and I growled, she was down earth right and my mum scoffed.
"I've never beaten up any of you naked in public before Collette, nor have I made your life a living nightmare!"
"Were you supposed to?" I asked cockily and she smiled bitterly.
"Why are y'all treating her that way?"
"Oh mum please, Tyson is old enough to treat whoever he wants to as a king, he's an Alpha and he has in his heart the best interest of the people. You're so obsessed with this murderer that you can't differentiate who your children are anymore."
"That's enough Collette." I had to shut her up, her wolf was clearly in control of her and I don't want her insulting mum just because of that trash. I still love her to infinity."
"No, it's not! She keeps taking side instead of -"
"Enough!! Get inside, now!"
I ordered and she kicked her feet and stomped out in anger.
I turned to my mum and she was visibly annoyed.
I love her, she might be strict, loud, and take drastic actions but she's super sweet. It's the privileges Zenevieva is enjoying right now.
She didn't say a word but turned to leave.
"I'll release her!" I said even though it was like a curse I just uttered.
I wanted her to be happy, Dad was already sick…I can't bear it if my strong mum becomes weak or unhappy because of a petty thing.
I'm just doing this for her.
"Then stop standing there like a fool and get her out of that place!" She fired and stormed out.
Wow!
What a great appreciation.
I hissed and went back to my room, Marcella was fast asleep and I knew how my mum would drag her naked if she ever found out she was here.
I wore my royal robe and my plaque laid there beside the crown while my mum's words echoed in my head.
It has divine powers that connect you to your wolf.
I don't feel a thing.
In fact, this plaque is like a cheap toy to me.
"Going somewhere?" Marcella's groggy voice startled me and I walked up to her.
"Mm..". I kissed her forehead and she smiled.
"Come…lie with…"
"No Marcella, I have something urgent to do, I can't sleep now.".
No matter how tempting that bed might be and what her delicious skin of hers looks like right now, I can't sleep.
I have a lot to do.
"Fine, I need to check on Zenevieva!"
"Uhm no! That's not a good idea?" She sat up abrubtly and I scoffed. "Why?" She asked again and I sighed.
"Can you just relax?" She would get mad that I told my mum that I released Vieva.
Collette would eat me up later but now, I'm not just ready for their banter.
"Mum is there and it won't be funny if she sees you there "
"Shit!"
She cursed.
"It will be over soon, I promise."
"Don't promise shit Tyson, just take this girl down and let me be your Luna! You're the king now and all power is in your hands to do just that."
"That's not how the pack works love, Zenevieva has to be that long with me for the 90 days then we'll think of anything to implicate her with, something that everyone can believe or I will tarnish my name and the throne."
She sighed and wanted to say something but a knock distracted us.
A guard came in and bowed after giving him approval .
"Is anything wrong?" I ask curiously.
"Yes, the Luna is missing."
I sprang up to my feet.
" What did you mean by that?"
"I don't know, she locked up the chief maid and a guard in a particular separate dungeon and disappeared."
