CHAPTER 52
KYLE.
I had got a message from my father to come to the pack stating how urgent it is and I had to give in.
I've been avoiding them for years and it's because I'm not ready to lead any pack and become an Alpha with responsibilities. I already have mine, I'm already running a training circuit and it comes in very handy with tiring responsibilities and daily recruitment from different Packs, wide and across.
I love what I do and I'm not quitting in a hurry, it's what drives me to be confident and strong and to toss away the old memory that gives me creeps anytime I recall it.
I witnessed my real parents die before me when I was eight and I was helpless and dumb.
No! That was the worst kind of feeling ever, the feeling of wanting to help but you can't, just to stand there and watch the tragedy unfold in your eyes.
It kills.
But I'm still suffering from insomnia from that trauma. The war between the Lycans and the werewolves that caused a rain blood in our Pack really left a huge hole in my heart.
And no matter how sad it is, my sweet foster parents suffer for it. They were kind,loving, and pampered me too much but I didn't return it.
I don't need it, I don't want their pack or anything except my dead parents.
I know it sucks but that's what it is.
I reached the pack and it looked like so much had changed in the space of how many days.
They looked startled to see me and I cocked my head at them for their strange expression.
"What?"
"Nothing, welcome Alpha…ummm…you're back?"
"I guess I'm going, fool, get my luggage inside, I heard today is the Pack's festival…I need to look dashing, I wonder what I'm going to wear."
I smiled, my wolf excited at the fact I'll get to see the Queen and walked in the direction of my room but I was blocked by this guy in front of me.
"What?"
"It's just that we didn't want to disturb your journey or trip."
"This guy! How does it have anything to do with getting prepared to join the festival?"
"We are sorry, Alpha. It was unexpected."
He fell down on his knees and begged, feeling so remorseful.
"What's this?" I pushed him out of the way and my wolf was beginning to feel the danger signals and headed to my room.
I would never get interrupted for any reason, never! He knows that and he's acting all sensitive.
I reached for the door and pushed it open only to move back with shock and a sweet smell of earth and smoke hit my nose hard as I sneezed loudly.
Everything was burnt Black.
Like everything was heaped in ashes save for the door which fell down right now and my eyes blazed in fury.
"Who did this?"
I asked calmly and coldly.
"The Mudville Alpha, we tried to stop the fire to your room especially but he made sure he stopped anyone from entering and by the time we realized it, it's already too late."
I whipped my attention to him, looking confused and angry.
"Tyson?"
He nodded.
"I wondered why the King was angry all of a sudden until I overheard him telling his guards that you insulted him and slept in a chamber meant for just his Luna.
My blood boiled cold with fury and my claws heightened.
"Why didn't anyone tell me ?" I was surprised at the calmness of my voice.
I turned to all of them who were now cowered before me and I yelled.
"Why the fuck am I training you all and all you do is act like chickens and cowards, letting one man to take control to burn just my room?"
One of them raised his hands. "Actually, it's all the rooms in Alpha." The others glared at him and I growled.
"What the fuck?"
"We are sorry, he's a king and we felt defiling his orders would escalate things."
I turned to him.
"But my room was a play toy right, a place to be burned and he burnt right?"
They all bowed and apologized and I got really infuriated.
"Get me the gun power from the store!" I blurted and their eyes widened like saucers but they dared not Ignore me.
They came back with just a container and I glared at them terribly.
"I need up to fifteen and even more, Mudville is a very big pack. He burnt my room, I'm going to burn his entire pack."
****
TYSON
The event started off awesomely and the crowd was enormous.
There were different displays of artifacts, talent shows and different norms displayed.
It was truly fun as children also displayed some funny dance steps to complete among other packs.
The meals were really tasty and top personalities also arrived, tourists were also amazed and took over the crowd to cheer the entertainers until the worst was requested from me.
"In the midst of our gathering and celebration of our culture among the Pack, we would like to present the Luna of Mudville Pack, the headquarters of the great Pack of packs, to all our dignitaries, especially those who weren't able to make it on the royal wedding Day."
One of the elders said and a loud roar of applause followed and my heart sank down to my stomach.
"Tyson!" Marcella whispered as she covered her veil to avoid being noticed and I hissed.
Why didn't I think of this and stop this madness earlier?
It's so Impossible for the Queen not to get noticed in such an event like this…. Damn me!
The whole crowd was waiting and Marcella was whimpering asking me what to do, shaking like a drenched leaf.
God!
Mum was practically impatient while my dad stared at us boredly.
"Get the fuck out Marcella!"
"Huh?"
"Get lost from this place or we'll be doomed, what were you guys even thinking!" I gritted between my teeth and she sniffed.
"Why not just claim me as Luna? It won't make any difference."
I gasped.
"Is the Queen not well?"
The elder said and I looked to realize that thousands of eyes were boring into us and I bit my lips hard that I tasted blood.
"Get the fuck out of here!" I seethed and she scrambled randomly and stared randomly before getting up to turn back too, that would give me a perfect time to look for an excuse but I heard a shrill gasp behind me and I whipped my direction and cursed.
Tyler.
"Going somewhere?"
"I…umm…I need the restroom, it's urgent."
She trembled and he smiled.
"Common you and I know that it's a lie. I think it's very embarrassing to keep people waiting and are you not going to say anything?"
He turned to me and I closed my eyes in regret.
The crowd began to murmur and my mum stood up from her seat while my chest flew from my body.
"Let her go please." I pleaded as I glanced at the direction of my mum.
"Where's Zenevieva?" He asks, looking terribly pissed.
"Jeez Tyler, not here okay! Just let her go first before Mum reaches here."
"You're so irritating and despicable Tyson, Jeez! You had to impersonate her and disgrace yourself in a gathering like this?"
I ignored him.
"My mum will kill you if you don't disappear Marcella."
She tried to run but Tyler held her wrist tightly and jerked her forward.
"No…Tyler please don't do this, my dad will be mad."
Marcella begged but he dragged her forward and I stood up blocking him.
"You can kill me after the event but don't take her there, I'll be in trouble too."
He ignored me and pushed me aside, walking to the midst of the crowd and everyone cheered In happiness.
"Sorry about the delay everyone, she has a phobia for public eyes."
Tyelr said and Collette walked up this time to stop him and I bent my head in shame, this is so fucking messed up.
Mum changed her direction and followed her instead and dragged her out of the midst of the crowd and yelled at her the moment they were out.
Oh gosh! Marcella would be punished greatly and I'll be questioned.
Why the hell is Tyler doing this?
"Okay, so let's welcome our Queen!"
The crowd cheered in happiness and my heart sank Into two.
Tyler left her and walked back to his seat beside Ethan and I cursed.
Marcella was lost as she shakily touched the hem of her veil and that same moment.
A loud piercing sound disrupted the whole festival and fire sparked In different directions causing an uproar.
