“MY BROTHER MIGHT TOLERATE YOUR B*LLSHIT OUT OF GUILT BUT I WILL NOT!” He shouted, using his alpha tone to convey just how furious he was. “SCOTT DIDN’T REJECT MADELYN. SHE REJECTED HIM AND MAID OR NOT, SHE IS OURS AND I WILL NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO HURT HER, YOU INCLUDED. DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK KODA WOULD CHOOSE YOU AS HIS MATE, AS OUR LUNA? I WOULD BE COLD IN MY GRAVE BEFORE I EVER ALLOWED A GIRL LIKE YOU TO SIT ON MY MOTHER’S THRONE, NOW GET OUT!”
Blake started crying, and I felt guilty again, but her tears didn’t change anything. I wanted Maddie.
“I’m sorry, Blake.” I hugged her, “I really am, but it is over. You will find your mate, I know you will, and you’ll love him more than anything.”
“GET OFF ME!” Blake screamed and shoved me away, “YOU WILL REGRET THIS!”
Blake spun and ran from the room crying.
“I told you not to make that b*tch your girlfriend.” Jax snapped angrily, “If she upsets Madelyn, I swear to you, she’s f*cking dead!”
“She just needs time.” I said reasonably, “But she’ll come around. She’s not as horrible as you think she is.”
“Like hell, she isn’t,” Jax rolled his eyes, “You were just too damn wiped to see what a cow she is. She really can’t have been that great in bed to make you so blind.”
“Shut up.” I exhaled and rubbed my face, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Um… excuse me, Alphas.” Julia cleared her throat. I’d forgotten she was still here, “I apologize, I didn’t mean to overhear, I um… did you want me to go?”
“No, it’s fine.” I sighed, “Please just finish cleaning the walk in.”
“I just did.” She smiled, “Did you need anything else?”
“No,” Jax shook his head, “You can go, we’ll introduce you to Madelyn tomorrow.”
“Yes, sir.” Julia walked towards the door, but she paused and turned back towards us. “May I speak freely, Alphas?”
“Sure.” Jax shrugged.
Julia looked at me nervously, “Um… it’s just…” She hesitated, “About Beta Blake, I think you should watch her around the Luna. I don’t think she’s going to take the break-up very well.”
“And why’s that?” I asked.
“She isn’t who you think she is.” Julia went on nervously, “She was always acting kind and sweet in front of you but behind your back, she was a nightmare. She would always use her position as your girlfriend to do whatever she wanted, to bully whoever she wanted, and she would often tell everyone that you had told her that you’d take her as your chosen if you didn’t meet your mate soon.”
“You what!” Jax turned to me with anger, “She better have been lying.”
“She was.” I defended myself, “We spoke about making a choice, but I always turned her down. I was waiting for our mate.”
“Well, this is just great!” Jax shouted, “I want her watched and I mean it. She steps one foot over the line or tries to hurt Madelyn, I will rip her f*cking throat out!”
“I will take care of it.” I promised him before turning back to Julia, “Why didn’t you ever tell me that she was lying and behaving this way?”
“She was your girlfriend and a Beta.” Julia told me, “I didn’t think you’d believe me over her.”
“I would have.” Jax pointed out before glaring at me, “You better not be lying to me about taking her as a chosen. If this gets back to Madelyn and hurts her, I swear!”
“I am not lying!” I shouted, “I-“
‘Alphas,’ Our guards linked us and interrupted me, ‘The Queen and the young lady are coming down the hall. Is the Luna wearing a blue dress?’
‘Yes, that’s her.’ Jax answered excitedly, ‘Let them in.’
“Maddie coming.” I told Julia, “You may as well stay and meet her now.”
“Yes, sir.” She said and stepped away from us.
MADELYN’S POV
The Queen led me out passed the guests and over to the edge of the large balcony where several chairs and a table were vacant, but I chose to lean on the railing and look out over the massive and stunning city sparkling in lights.
I took a long deep breath. What a day!
“Are you okay, dear?” The Queen softly patted my back, “Just breathe.”
“I can’t do this,” I admitted, “I can’t be a Queen. I’m not good enough for your sons. They’re so perfect.”
The Queen surprised me by laughing, and I looked up at her in confusion.
“My dear, I promise you that my sons are far from perfect,” She told me “And as for being good enough, the goddess herself picked you to be Queen, you will do just fine.”
“Do you really think so?”
“I do.” She smiled at me, and I felt a little lighter. “And besides, I am looking forward to my retirement, so I can spend all my time with Theo and our Lycan’s so even if you’re terrible, the jobs all yours, no take backs.”
I laughed in shock, this was not the Queen that Luna Morgan had described to me over the years. She’d told me the Queen was stern and cold, but maybe she was just that way to Luna Morgan…
“There now.” She said softly and brushed my hair back over my shoulder. “Things aren’t so bad now are they, my dear when I met Theo, I was a warrior from a small pack, I knew nothing about ruling or taking care of a mate, but I learned and so will you and I know my boys will help you.”
“But what about Scott and Alpha Troy?” I asked nervously as I looked back towards the party.
I noticed a few pack members sneaking peaks at us, and I blushed before turning away again.
“Don’t worry about those dam dogs.” Queen Kara said dismissively, “They will be dealt with. How dare they keep you as a maid and lie to you about being a Lycan? That alone should give Theo justification to destroy them, but now that he knows your Iyas little girl, I promise you, he’ll be out for blood.”
“Did you know my mother?”
The Queen looked uncomfortable, which confused me.
“I only met her once during the war, but I never really knew her.” She answered and my heart sank. “You will have to speak with Theo about her.”
“Does King Theo know who my father is?” I asked, “Do you?”
She shook her head and patted my back again. “I don’t, I’m sorry.” She told me.
“And seeing as you didn’t know she was dead, you probably don’t know who killed her either.”
“I am afraid not,” She answered, “We all thought she was alive but missing.”
“I see,” I pouted sadly, “Do you have any pictures of her?”
‘that I can help you with.” She smiled and took my hand, “Come with me.”
Together we weaved through the party again and then into a private elevator which took us to a library where a few librarians were working and chatting quietly. They greeted the Queen and looked at me with confusion as she led me towards a large section filled with books on the royal family.
“Here we are,” She said happily as she pulled out a large book and opened it.
I watched eagerly as she flipped through the books before stopping at an image of a royal family picture.
