Chapter 72: Chapter 72

"I will mark your woman. Let's see how you will win over me after that."

The moment Maverick's canine touched Delilah's neck, Maverick fell a push and fell on the ground.

"AAAAHHH"

He groaned in pain. Blood rolled down from his canines.

Delilah glanced at her bracelet. She remembered how that wizard told him that whenever any male wolf tried to get close to her, it would protect her.

So he meant that. Whenever someone tried to mark her, it would save her.

Delilah felt relieved when the bracelet actually protected her. She saw Everett go to Maverick and pulled him up. He clawed Maverick's cheek and it started to burn.

"AAAHHH! It's burning!"

Maverick cried out in pain. All the wolves under Everett stepped back from Maverick.

They could have killed Maverick the moment he came outside, but it was Everett's order not to kill Queen Ezenina, not her husband, not even her son. Because he would kill them, not anyone else. So they only attacked Maverick and did not try to kill him.

"MAVERICK!"

Queen Azenia ran towards her son.

"Leave my son."

Maverick was her son, he was the only child of hers and her fated mate, Alfred. She only loved her this son. If Maverick also died, she would be alone in this whole world. All of her life she also thought about her mate and her last son.

Delilah got mad at the woman. Now she was behaving like a protective woman! What happened to her when she was talking dirty with her son about Delilah?

"You are protective of your son. What about that time when you told him that he could do anything with me? You even ordered your men to drag me here."

Delilah's voice echoed through the dark night. Everyone heard Everett's growl.

"You did what? You told your son to touch my woman?" He roared at Azenia.

Azenia shook her head. "She is lying, my son."

Maverick took the chance of the situation. He glanced at one of his men, the man passed him a steak that looked wet.

Maverick took it and stabbed it in Everett's stomach.

He laughed when she saw Everett frown and looked down at his stomach.

"What did you think? I came out without any preparation? I knew one day you would attack my kingdom. So I got this killer poison, the killer potion.

Your mate tried her best to make you drink this, but you were a lucky guy who somehow recovered. However, this time I used it over the steak. Now the potion pierced inside you. Your body can not take it, brother." Maverick said.

Delilah felt her heart beat was getting slower. She could not feel anything. She was feeling numb in her heart in fear.

She looked at Everett. Everett did not look good.

She wanted to run towards him but her legs became like jelly on the ground. She could not move.

Nonetheless she was surprised when she saw Everett pulling that steak. He grabbed it tightly and before anyone could think anything, he stabbed the steak inside Maverick's heart.

It happened so fast that no one could see clearly what happened.

Maverick was too shocked to feel any pain. He lowered his head and saw the steak make a hole in his chest. He felt his heart beat stop as he could not take a breath.

THUD!

Maverick fell to the ground.

"You need the courage to stab inside the heart you know." Everett spoke out.

Queen Azenia stared at her son in horror.

Her son's whole body trembled on the ground as if a fish came out of the water.

After a few seconds, Maverick closed his eyes and never opened them again.

"You killed your future king." Queen Azenia mumbled.

"Everett became the new king the moment he killed your husband, Queen Azenia." Havana spoke out sarcastically.

She thought she had to fight a lot. She even prepared for this day for a very long time.

But the way everyone was afraid of Everett, no one dared to attack him or his men but only defend themselves from attack.

Queen Azenia glared at Havana. "You did this all, right? You always wanted to be the Queen, I knew it. You betrayed my son for his whole life and supported this beast. You provoked him to kill his mate and go out of the forest to get this kingdom."

Havana shook her head. "I don't want to kill you because only the beast has the right to do that."

Queen Azenia's eyes widened. She stood up and stepped back. She felt lost. There was no one in the world to protect her, not her husband, not her son.

"You are also my son. How can you even think about killing me?" She asked Everett. She wanted to coax him.

"I kept you inside me for nine months. What about my sufferings? Will you pay me like this? You know I am your mother. Your real and biological mother. Will you kill your own mother?"

She kept blabbering so that anyhow she could persuade Everett's mind.

Everett looked like a beast indeed.

His eyes and cheeks were glowing but this time his bare upper body started to fill with fur.

Everyone could see the bloodlines before they turned to fur.

Everyone was frightened. Delilah stared at him. His friends were in wolf form, so their reactions were normal since they had seen him like that before.

"What do you think of me? I don't know anything? I know everything. Each and everything."

Everett stepped towards Azenia and she fell to the ground.

"I still remember what my father said to me before he died.

He said, 'Stay away from your mother, she will kill you just how she is killing me."

Queen Azenia shook her head. She could not believe that man even told a kid the truth. But Everett was just a little child at that time. How could he remember everything?

"Good bye, Mother. My father is waiting for you to take you in hell."

His tone was deep and chilly. He took a step back, which made others stunned.

But the next moment he shifted and everyone started to howl in fear. They had never seen this giant wolf before.

Queen Azenia looked like a woman who had already died in shock.

She could not move when Everett came towards her with slow steps.

When her senses came back to herself, she blinked her eyes. Tears were streaming out of her eyes. She tried to beg.

"Don't kill me. I killed him because I didn't love your father. My mate wanted to be the king. I did what my mate wished for. I mixed poison with your father's food because Alfred provoked me to do that. It's not my fault but his fau-".

Everett did not let her complete the sentence. Before that he clawed at her neck.

She screamed in pain. Queen Azenia tried to fight. She shifted but her wolf looked so small in front of Everett.

He smirked in his wolf form. He bent his head to her and she clawed his face.

In a blink of a second, his wound healed again.

Queen Azenia tried her best to save herself. She even mind linked to her men and pack fighters.

No one was replying to her. It was the bitter truth. Everyone already knew who would win tonight. There was no other justification.

Everett bit her wolf's neck.

She struggled but could not get out of Everett's bite.

Everett left her neck and claws pierced inside her wolf's heart.

He was about to pull out slowly as he heard her whispering in mind link.

"You are right. I killed him." She laughed with pain when she understood her death was inevitable.

Everett could not take it and clenched out her heart.

He killed his mother. He killed the Alpha king and the crown prince. The whole royal family.

It would be in history that an Alpha and his family got killed by someone and no one came to help them or save them.

Was it because they were afraid of the prince who everyone called a beast?

Or was it because they were not good rulers?

Delilah stared at Everett's wolf. She could see the pain in his eyes.

She could understand what he was feeling right now.

He had to keep the truth inside him since his childhood. He had to bear all the insults and humiliation from his family. He had to live without any society which made him wild.

Delilah clenched her fists as she thought about how his mother told her that she did not like Everett and never thought of him as her son.

She said the same in front of Everett too.

What if she never killed her own husband and stayed with him as a support system? Would she have to get killed today? Her destiny would have been different from that.

Everett's giant wolf moved from his mother and looked around. He looked up at the sky and howled.

Every wolf bowed their heads to the ground and those who never shifted kneeled down and chanted,

"HAIL TO OUR NEW KING,

KING EVERETT WILSON."
