Chapter 14
Aurelia POV
I scent something strange about this
Ashina for. I don't if I saw her before but her presence reminded me of
someone and she was the woman I cursed my entire life. She's an omega too and currently living outside the palace.
I'm resting inside my room while my son was busy planning on revenge on our enemies. Alba came inside to serve my food.
"My queen, Alpha King Dante told me to brought this to you." She put the tray of food on my bed table.
I just raise my eyebrows at my servant.
I just realized that Dante transferred his omega slave beside Alba 's quarters so I ask her about it.
"Alba , can you call son's slave for me. I wanted to know her more since she's a stranger inside the palace. We don't know if she's a spy or threat." I ordered Alba and she quickly obeyed my command.
"Yes, my Queen. At your service." She said and left to call that woman.
After five minutes…
"Your highness, she's here." She said while I am eating my meal.
I wave my hands to let her come over near me.
Ashina came forward and showed her respect to the Queen.
"Good day, Your Highness. I am grateful to be called by you." She crouched down as a sign of her respect for me.
"I don't know why my son wanted to keep you but I think he has reasons.
May I know your name?", I wanted to investigate her since she does not belong to us.
"Ashina , my Queen." She simply answered me but I want more.
I get up from my bed to get a closer look at her face. I cupped it and studied her appearance. Her eyes look mysterious and her scent, it's too strong for an omega. It's my first time encountering this type of a she-wolf omega.
|lifted her face and let her eyes meet mine.
"Who is your mother, young lady?", I asked her as my fingernails planted on her soft skin.
She flinched a little.
"Ana Miller, my Queen. " Hearing the woman's name made my vision blurred and my hands hastily landed on her face.
"You said, Ana!?!", I said and I can't contain my anger at her.
"Why my Queen? Do you know my mother? Why you look so mad at me?" she looks clueless.
How dare she yelled at me? I am about to slap her again but she stops me.
"Just tell me why and I will respect you as the Queen of Shadowborn , Your Highness!", she warned me and I can't believe that Ana's daughter act exactly like her, stubborn and vicious.
I took a deep breath. Alba was there looking at us, frozen. I told her to go and called her son Dante .
Queen Aurelia and Ashina were left inside the queen's room.
Ashina 's face was inflamed due to the queen's violence at her.
" I am right. I am reluctant about your identity because you're my enemies'
daughter! If you want to live for another day, go home and never come back here." She warned Ashina .
Ashina didn't know what to say. She had no idea how her mother and the Queen related to each other. She now understands why her mom cautioned her not to attend the party. But why did she lied to her about her relationship with the Queen?
Why Queen Aurelia despised her mom so much?
What about Dante , her master? Can he let her go?
"Tonight, at dawn, you will go. I can lie to my son. He won't look for you forever." She instructed Ashina .
"Why? What did I do to treat myself like this? I didn't do anything bad to you, my Queen. " She defends herself.
Queen Aurelia glared at her. She won't let her son fall for her because a low life like her should be cast out also just what she did to Ashina 's mom.
' can't let my son goes near you. I will die first before you take him from me." Her voice was cold and full of hatred.
Ashina decided to accept the Queen's request. She will escape tonight no matter what even Dante won't free her.
Ashina POV
It's a long day and Dante called her to come inside his room. It was her duty to served the Alpha King since he was her master.
She fixed her hair before she stepped inside. She inhaled deeply to calm herself.
She's still can't get over the Queen's revelation to her about her mom.
She saw Dante sat in front of his windows, half-naked with a glass of wine in his hands.
"Come, join me. Let's drink, Ashina ." He invited me to drink.
I shook my hands to disagree.
"I don't drink, my Lord. I - ", I startled when he throws the wine on my face.
"Lick it if you don't want to drink on the glass! I am your master so why not obeying my rules?", he clamped his hands again on my neck.
'I'm sorry, my Lord. I won't do it again." | said trying to act weak in front of him.
He sniffs and licks my face. His lips wanted to taste my lips and I let him do it. I let his tongue went inside my mouth. I don't want to argue with him since this was his last day to treat me like a whore.
I don't know but as his kiss deepens, my legs weaken. I can feel how my wolf craves for his wolf. He's my mate and I am his lost mate but because I am an omega and he rejected me the first day our scents collided, I didn't argue with it. I accept the fact that he won't mark me but with his sensual kiss and touch, I don't know if he can hold back anymore. I don't know if I can hold back too.
"From now on, you will come with me, understand?", he whispered in between his kiss.
He purposely bit my lower lip and I cried a little. I can taste the bitterness of my blood on my lips.
" And what if I mark you tonight? Not as my mate but as my pet. Does it sounds interesting to you?", our lips parted and I can see in his eyes the desire of wanting me.
I immediately push him from me.
"No. If you mark me tonight but as your pet, slave, whore, I swear to God that you can't hide our secrets anymore."
My eyes fiercely stared through his soul.
He laughed at me.
"Maybe it's too late for that. Enzo , take her to the dungeon and caged her." He called his beta and I was surprised by his sudden decision.
"Wait, what do you mean by this? My Lord, where are you taking me?", I keep struggling and bouncing my feet to let go from Enzo .
" My lady, please don't be stubborn,"
Enzo told me while Dante stood there looking at me like a traitor.
"Take her now and punish her if she lied. Don't take her out until I said so."
He instructed Enzo and stare at me with his cold eyes.
