Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads

Chapter 92 – A Present to the Lycan King

“But this is the truth!” Rosalie cried.

“You are spouting nothing but trouble. You dare to point your fingers at Hunter in front of me so that you can plant seeds of doubt in my mind? Well, then let me tell you one this Lady Rosalie-” River paused, sneering at her. “No one can do that. Hunter is my mate and I have implicit trust in him. So you can go and ****yourself!” She turned around to leave but she stopped, looked over her shoulder and said, “Get out of this castle and don’t think of stepping inside even once. If I hear this from anyone else, I will assume that it is you who has started the rumor. And then I will punish you. Severely!” Saying that River left the main hall and strode to her bedroom. She didn’t even wait to see Rosalie’s reaction, as fury bubbled inside her like a live volcano.

*Luna River?” Faria said as soon as River came into the room. “You look flushed. Are you feeling well?”

She turned to see if River was being followed by Rosalie, but there was no one. “I told you to be wary of that snake.”

River huffed and then sat down on the chair at the writing table next to the window. “I ***that woman!” she said, wondering when someone elicited such a strong reaction from her. She disliked the moment Rosalie mentioned Hunter’s name and she loathed it when Rosalie tried to drag his name into the crime.

“Everyone at the castle ***her, Luna,” Faria said, giving her a glass of water. She is a critter, a ***, a lowly ****who was obsessed with Alpha Hunter’s position and wealth and nothing else!”

River pursed her lips and looked outside the window. It was early in the morning and the gardeners were trimming the rose ramblers or the golden hedges of the main garden. Although she had scolded Rosalie, her mind was restless. Was Hunter really seeing Natalie? She shook her head. It couldn’t be possible. Hunter loved her way too much. He was her mate and he had proved himself all the time that he had eyes for her only. She had seen how other Alphas of the werewolf packs were into having two or three more women as lovers apart from their wives. It was said that the Alphas had a strong sexual drive and often their wives were not able to match it.

“Would you like to eat anything?” Faria asked, seeing how disturbed River was. “Or how about taking a stroll in the garden?”

“Yes!” River said. “I will walk in the garden.”

On her way to the garden, she walked across Mia’s room. She wished that Mia was there in her room and not gone to the school because she really wanted to talk it out with someone close and Mia was the perfect person. She sighed as she walked past her room, missing her presence for the first time in her life. Suddenly, she heard soft sobs coming from inside her room Uneasiness knotted in her chest. Slowly, she walked towards Mia’s room hoping that she was imagining.

But the sound of sobs was now louder. Shocked, River knocked the room. No one answered her and the sobs stopped. “Mia?” River called her. There was no response. “Mia?” she called her in a louder voice.

When there was no response again, she barged open the door. When she entered the room, she was stunned. Mia was still on the bed, dressed in her school dress and she was crying with her face buried in the pillow, “Mia!” River rushed to her sister-in-law.

Mia turned her face to look at River, and River’s heart squeezed. Her cheeks were stained with tears, her eyes were red and her lips were swollen. River went to sit by her side. Mia got up and hugged her tightly. She buried her face in River’s neck and started crying loudly. River stroked her back gently to soothe her. “What is wrong, Mia?” she asked.

“I can’t go to school!” she cried.

“Why? Did anyone say anything to you?”

“No, but everyone is behaving weirdly with me.”

River’s heart beat wildly. In a very low voice she asked, “Why?”

“There’s a terrible rumor going on over there.”

River stopped stroking her, trying to embrace herself from what was coming. “What rumor?”

Mia removed herself from River. “River, it’s just a rumor and so you should treat it like that.”

“What rumor?” River repeated her question.

Mia lowered her head as her shoulders wracked. “The rumor is that the older man who Natalie was seeing was Hunter” River clenched her jaw. So Rosalie had already started the rumor.

“Mia,” River said. “Please tell me the whole thing.” Anxiety dug its thorns inside her chest. She had just taken over as the Alpha of her pack. She had to go to her pack in a few days and assess the situation.

Everyone in her pack loved Hunter and they had tremendous respect for him. This piece of information is going to put a dent on their trust. It will be more because he was married to their Alpha who was carrying his child.

River suddenly felt like vomiting. She got up and rushed to the bathroom. Over there, whatever she had in the morning came out.

Tension marred her face when she looked at her reflection. She was so pale and it was not just because of her empty stomach. Mia came inside with a glass of water. “River, I am so sorry. I don’t know how this has aggravated to this level.” River gulped down the water. “You have to tell me everything right from the beginning.” She knew a lot about the case, but she was sure that Mia knew more.

As they sat on the bed to talk, Faria came running in with lemon juice and cookies for River. Mia had connected with her through the mind link about River’s situation. River had the juice and took in a deep breath. She lifted her face up and said, “Mia, just tell me everything.”

Mia hadn’t gone to the school because she hated the way her group was treating her. They wouldn’t speak anything on her face but they would gossip the moment she would turn her face away. She started, “Natalie was in our group and two months back she started saying that she was seeing an older man. When we asked her who she was seeing and whether he was her mate, she would always laugh it off and keep it a secret. But once I remember her saying that she could ruin his family.”

A shudder ran down River’s body as her jaw locked in tension.

Mia continued, “At that time we just laughed at her words and the whole thing was shoved back.

However, two weeks later, she started saying that she is being stalked and that there is someone who wants to harm her.” Mia looked up and closed. her eyes. “We asked her repeatedly as to who was stalking her and if we could help her. But she never revealed it. All she said was that she knew who was stalking her. She also said that the man who was stalking her was higher in the hierarchy of the Lycans and that if the secret came out, his reputation would nosedive.”

Faria snorted. “That ****”

Mia shook her head. “One day I decided to go with her to her home after school and realized that someone was stalking us. It was evening and most of the streets were empty. I turned back to see who it was, but there was no one. Not even a whiff of smell.”

“How do you know that someone was stalking you?” River asked.

“I had this feeling, River, Mia replied. “It was as if someone was matching our steps. I even ran back to find the stalker but it was of no use. He had run away. When I went back to Natalie, she was hyperventilating. I made her sit on a stone bench on the side of the street and gave her my bottle of water. She gulped it down and then started crying.”

“But Mia, why did you not come back in your own car and accompany Natalie?” River scolded. “Why did you break that protocol? You are too precious to be going alone on the streets for an adventure this dangerous!”
