CHAPTER 35
ZENEVIEVA.
My back aches and my wolf whines in pain, she's been through so much stress and it's not good, she's getting weaker and not even receiving the best treatment.
"It's okay, we'll be fine, We'll be fine." I hushed her and she understood our plight.
I dragged myself to the room and sighed, I just hoped I wouldn't get to share a room with Tyson. The last night with him was a horrible experience. A brutality to my wolf and an excruciating pain I won't forget in a hurry.
I knew he disliked me, but I didn't know it was that extreme and I'll be so ready to give it ten times back to him or anyone close to him, king or no king.
I locked the door behind me and went to the bathroom. I don't want any maids, guards, or distractions at the moment. The pain I'm weighing in my heart is already too heavy in my heart.
I washed the dirt off my body with hot water, cleaned and freshened up while my mind drifted back to the handsome stranger.
He was the nicest of all and I couldn't stop smiling stupidly.
A knock interrupted me but I wasn't going to open it.
"Zenevieva? Are you in, is everything alright?"
I groaned.
There's no way I'll be saying no to the Queen. Her voice was a melody in my memory.
I opened the door and she engulfed me to hug, almost on the verge of tears.
"All my years of being a mother, I never thought my son would turn out to be a beast. I'm so sorry Zenevieva."
I smiled, this woman just loves me and I think the Moon goddess decided to bless me with this one.
I didn't have to say anything, Tyson is a beast and I agreed with my full chest.
She clicked her hands and the maids came rushing in which made me tug the hem of my hair but still plaster a smile on my face to keep her at ease.
"You need to eat something dear and get ready before tonight's celebration. I'm sorry but your presence is highly needed. You will be going out to invite other dignitaries for the Pack's festival with Tyson."
My wolf howled in disapproval and I grit my teeth.
It won't end well, I'll kick his ass if he tries anything funny.
"Alright my queen, I'll do just that and I'm sorry about your plaque; it wasn't intentional."
"It's okay, I know you didn't do it."
"You knew?" I gasped and she nodded.
"I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to stop Tyson, I was just on a thin line of authority and he already had absolute power aside from the fact that he's my son. Just fight back when you feel you're bullied Zenevieva, you're now the Queen! Be strong and courageous!"
That seemed to lift my spirits because I'm definitely going to do just that.
"Thanks, Queen, I'll join the royal celebration later."
I told her and dug into the meal presented before me.
I really felt at ease and felt at home when I was with her.
Collette came in at some moment and the Queen left.
She was fuming really heavily but I concentrated on my meal, acting as if she didn't exist.
"This is not over brat! I'll teach you a lesson for insulting me and the King."
"Get out Collette, I'm not in a good mood."
I said calmly and she laughed
"You think you're so lucky and privileged huh, you choiceless fool? There's just 80 days remaining and you'll be banned from this pack as a symbol of disgrace!"
"I know, can you let me enjoy my meal and days in peace? And let me remind you that for the next 80 days, I remain the Queen of Mudville pack, and the last height of rubbish I'll tolerate is what your brother did to me, I'll crush you if you step in my way. Now get the fuck off."
I fired heavily at her, my wolf already losing control and I felt my fangs poking out.
She really lost it when she sensed their presence which fueled my agitation and anger.
She came to me with her eye blazing green and her wolf surging through to attack.
"You don't belong here Zenevieva, and I'll make sure I'll crush you first!"
"No, I'll start first."
I stood up and slapped her hard which took her by surprise and made her sit down on the chair. I scooped a handful of the meal I was eating and slam It in her mouth forcefully.
"Eat bitch since you won't let me eat!" I slammed, scooping more and shoving more in her mouth and all she did was scream.
I yanked her hair forcefully and dragged her outside, my wolf totally taking control. She kicked me in the stomach and I slammed her head on the walk with blood oozing out.
I just need to get prepared for their stupid party and not let this silly irritate my already irritated wolf.
She screamed, she cried but I kept dragging her until I saw a guard.
I pushed her forcefully to him and he reeled in shock.
"Throw her in the dungeon until it's time for the party, she's getting on my nerves !"
I slammed.
"Huh?"
"Aren't you the stupid and deaf guard I met that day? Don't provoke me this time, throw her in!"
"She's a princess!"
I lost it and kicked him in the face and he fell down in shock while Collette gasped, staring at him.
I bent low to face him.
"I was Queen when I was beaten naked, I was Queen when I was thrown into the dungeon and whipped in the four corners of a room and I'm still Queen ordering you to get the fuck out of my face and throw her inside, Now!!"
I seethed and he nodded.
He stood up and took Collette away who kept staring at him in shock while I felt so relieved.
That was one hell of a beating.
****
I got dressed and dolled up, ready to attend the mini-celebration.
I walked to the general royal hall and they were all seated alongside some elders of the pack.
Whosoever came back must be a highly respected beta for this presence.
Tyson was seated, looking all grumpy and annoyingly beautiful as well and the Queen smiled at me and I took graceful steps to sit near Tyson whose gaze was fixed on someone.
Marcella.
That witch.
I wondered why she was here, parading herself in events like this.
I sat cautiously, my face totally down as I avoided the gazes of many whose sole attention was on me.
"You'll obviously get punished the next time you come late to a gathering like this." He whispered and I snorted.
"You should direct that trash to your sister!" I whispered back harshly and he bit his lips and focused.
One of the elders stood up and cleared his throat.
"You're all welcome to this wonderful and impromptu gathering, we must do this so we crown him officially." He smiled and continued.
"Our beta had been out of the pack for quite a couple of years and now he's back, fully ready to take over his place as the king's favorite. Thankfully his Alpha commander is also present and I'll personally thank him for giving him training to become what it takes to be a beta to the pack and King."
A loud applause followed and he smiled.
"In honor of the current King, you're hereby welcome to Mudville Pack. Welcome, Tyler."
He said and another round of applause followed while the proclaimed person emerged looking like the ….
What the actual heck?
I knitted my brows together and stared at him again, looking shocked.
How is it possible? Why didn't I even notice that he was different from the other guards?
The deaf and stupid guard is actually Tyler!
I was so blinded by anger to look at his face properly.
His eyes glinted like diamonds and he was so cute.
I slapped him three times, kicked him once, and insulted him numerous times.
Well done Zenevieva! Queen of Karate.
I couldn't stare at him in the face, I was looking very embarrassed and so stupid at the moment.
"Thanks a lot, I'm so happy to be back home. This isn't supposed to be a big deal but my Queen and her son would always insist.
I'm just happy I'm back, you all are welcome and thanks a lot for honoring this sudden invitation Alpha Kyle, you shouldn't have just left your recruits.
I turned my direction to the person he was referring to and I held my breath.
He smiled and told them it was fine, turning to look at me straight in the eyes and smirking.
Those sharp green eyes pierced my entire body and I let out a ragged breath. His stare was intense, locked and not blinking and I bit my lip not leaving his gaze either.
My sexy stranger is here.
