Chapter 50: Chapter 50

“I don’t know if it’s just me or you, but she’s acting so strange these days and I’m really worried about her though, she is the princess of the realm and should not be involved in any scandal with anyone, especially with Gerard’s wife. Anyone is gonna bring up some kind of rumour that she is jealous of Emily.”

I sighed. “I don’t know why she is pissed at Emily, maybe she…she just doesn’t like her or something.’

I knew why Oceana was angry with her, and Jane was right.

She should learn how to control her anger and she’s a princess. It still surprises me that Gerard is her mate.

To be honest, I just don’t know how to feel about this secret. She’s been hiding from me for weeks. I’m only relieved it was not Carmine, but Gerard. I love Oceana like my sister.

I get confused and I don’t know what to do anymore.

Siblings’ relationship is a taboo and scorned at the Mackenzie Clan and the consequences are dire is what scares me the most.

“But, she should hide it, not make it so obvious and the way she acts around her brothers, people are gonna think she’s involved with them in some kind of act.’ she stated.

I guess I'm not the only one overreacting here.

“You are not serious, Jane. You know Oceana so well.’

She shrugged her shoulders. ‘I’m not saying she is doing something bad. I’m just saying people can say anything, and it can taint her reputation for the rest of her life if she is not careful.’

Suddenly, we both heard a loud scream.

“What’s going on?’ Jane whispered.

We both met our gazes, hastily got up and ran to the direction we both heard the scream from.

And ran to the room and what we saw made us gasp in fear with the maids screaming.

Oceana was hung in the air, all her body was white, her white hair was pure as snow, her brows, everything was white, she was like a ghost.

“Why is she hanging in the air like that?” Her mother screamed, panicking, behind me as soon as she came to the room too.

If I wasn’t here, I would say she was acting in a movie and why was she nearly naked and lying on her body, which was floating on air?

My heart was beating so fast. “OCEANA.’ I also yelled and tears welled up in my eyes. Different thoughts crossed my mind. Seeing my best friend looking like a dead zombie made me gasp in fear.

I covered my mouth to keep myself from screaming. I have never seen Oceana like this before. What was going on here?

Why was she in this state? Could it be that she was…dead? No, it can’t be.

Oceana can’t be dead.

‘What are you standing around here for, peasants? Summon the Alpha King immediately?’ Her mother screamed as her eyes filled with tears.

I was scared, so I took a step back and ran out of the room to meet Gérard, he was the only one who knew what went wrong; he was her mate, after all.

He should know what is going on. Standing there wouldn’t solve the problem.

I ran as fast as I could and when I got to his chambers; I banged loudly on the door.

“Alpha Gerard.’ I knew it was late, it was an offence to bang loudly on an Alpha’s door, I could get punished for doing what I just did but I had to disturb him, his mate was in danger or else, he wouldn’t know how severe the situation is.

The door opened, and he was in his red robe and his expression wasn’t good and his eyes were bright blue.

It isn’t the full moon yet. Why did his eyes change their colours?

His eyes were glowing, his voice was deep, and and his white hair was slightly scattered all over his face.

“Do you know the consequences of what you just did, or have you forgotten the rules so soon, Jessie?”

“I’m sorry Alpha Gerard…”

He cut in. “Get out now, before I change my mind and arrange a severe punishment for you.’

“Alpha Gerard...Oceana is….Oceana is…. is…” I stuttered. I couldn’t even put it in words.

“Calm down and tell me what’s going on.” His expression softened a little and calmly asked.

“Oceana transformed into something else. Everyone is panicking, she’s hung in the air…”

‘Hung on air?’ he frowned.

“Yes,” I nodded. “Everyone was there. She looked like a ghost and…”

His eyes widened at my explanation. He didn’t wait for me to finish, but he seemed to know what I was talking about.

“I felt it in my instinct that something was wrong with Oceana, I heard her scream. So, when I rushed to her room, ignoring everyone, I rushed to call you as soon as I got there. I was beyond shocked.” I continued explaining. “She was…almost naked, floating on air and everything in her body was white. She looked so pale.” After explaining, I noticed the intensity in his eyes.

He brushed past me hastily and ran so fast, I went after him and we soon got to the room.

Oceana’s mother kept sobbing. Gérard strolled past us and went to Oceana.

“Gérard, please step back, I tried getting close to her, but her power is too strong, blocking me from forming any physical contact with her. Wait for your father to come back so he can rescue her.”

Gérard ignored everyone, stretched out his hands and got much closer to Oceana. My heart was on my chest and I hoped nothing happened to him, too.

To our surprise, her body came to him by itself as he carried her in his arms.

She glowed so brightly and went back to normal.

Gérard stood still for a moment, then moved to her bed and laid her down on the bed, then covered her body with a blanket.

Luna and I ran towards Oceana who was sleeping and murmuring Gérard’s name. Gérard went to her and closed her mouth with his hand, muttering a few words.

Everyone burst in to know how Oceana was.

They fixed their gazes on Gerard, who slowly took his hands away from Oceana’s lips and walked out of the room, leaving everyone confused.

I ran after him. “Why are you leaving?’ I asked.

Wasn't he supposed to wait till she woke up?

He turned to me, and his form went back to normal.

He smiled. “Don’t tell Oceana what happened here. I wouldn’t be able to handle it.” He said and came close to me. “Promise me you wouldn’t tell her anything about this night.”

“But…your mother will tell her.”
