Chapter 81
Marie’s POV
I can swear that my heart stopped beating for a second. I can’t believe my ears, Is Bliss truly gone, or is it just a trick to see how I will react?
“Erm, are you kidding? I am here alone, my driver isn’t here with me, I don't know what you are talking about.”
He chuckled and shook his head at me, “It’s fine Marie, you don’t have to worry if your driver isn’t here, the one I killed shifted from a bird to a man, so maybe I killed someone else.”
I gasped when he explained the situation. How was Bliss gone? What was I going to do now? Who’s going to save me now? I burst into tears before I could even control myself.
“How dare you?”
“Oh, I thought you came here alone”
I cried even louder when he said that to me, It hurt so much, I wish I could break the cage and kill him.
“You are evil! You brought me here just to make me miserable, is it fair?” I screamed as I began to get disoriented.
“Now you know how it feels,”
“He didn’t do anything, how could you kill him without even giving him a chance to explain? He didn’t do anything to you, Jack why?” my life had completely crashed now, Bliss was my servant, the only one I traveled around with, we were supposed to keep each other safe and now he was dead becasuse of me - because I wasn’t capable of keeping him safe like he kept me safe. I was unfit for anything, not even to be the queen.
I glared at Jack, “I won’t forgive you!” I screamed.
“I want to hear you say that when I deliver you into the hands of Scarlett. You killed her brother and she’s looking forward to killing you.
Who on earth was she talking about? I don’t know that girl. How am I going to know her brother?
“I don’t know her brother, why are you accusing me of so many things?” I wept.
“So are you telling me that you don’t know Fredrick? Fredrick Jordan.”
At the mention of his name, I stopped crying for a moment, Fredrick? I never thought I would meet his sister in this place. He told me he was in search of his long-lost brother. Was that a lie? Or did he mean Jack? Oh, I see, so he saw Jack as a brother.
I looked up at Jack when I remembered what I did to Fredrick and his friend. I pushed them down a cliff, I took them by surprise. They were headed for Redrock, I lied to them and said that I knew of a shortcut.
Then Bliss met us up at a cliff with Autumn another hybrid bird, they attacked the two Alphas on the cliff and as Fredrick’s friend fell, he shifted into his wolf to try and save himself and Fredrick caught him but as he was helping him, I stabbed him multiple times, out of pain and desperation he shifted into his wolf but his friend fell to his death and so did he.
Now that I think about it, Jack deserves the same end. For everything he did to Bliss, and for everything he’s done to me! He says he wants to take me back to my kingdom right? We don’t need to go all the way to the South, I will kill him on the mountain, I know he will fall for it. I just know it.
“If you’ve killed Bliss you can go ahead and kill me too, I have no reason to live now,” I said to him,
He shook his head, “No, I will return you safely to where you came from. I won’t forget your kindness. It’s the least I can do.”
I nodded, now I was sure that he wasn’t going to kill me so even if he was taking me back to my people or not it doesn’t matter because I will kill him before we get wherever he’s taking me to.
I didn’t even watch when he was leaving. With my head leaning against my cell, I thought about all the possible ways I could kill Jack. I was reeling in pain over the demise of my beloved Bliss and how I’m not even there to say goodbye. I have this burning rage ravaging everything within me.
I can’t take the pain, “Jaaaaack” I screamed. I know he can hear me even if he won’t respond. “I swear I won’t forgive you! You brought me here to destroy me. I won’t let it go!”
He could hear my senseless threats, he must think that he’s stronger and bigger than I am but I will show him that I’m smarter and more vicious than he has estimated me to be. I am not to be joked with.
