Chapter 91: Chapter 91
The queen along with Rosemund appeared out of the darkness, along with a few more vampires growling behind them. Rose's eyes flared with hatred when they fell on Viona, growling in the ground. She still remembered the day when Viona beat her spell. Until now, her heart never forgot to seize revenge.
Alaric's eyes narrowed dangerously at his mother. She wasn't supposed to be here. Gritting his teeth together, he shouted at his mother furiously,
" Mother, this isn't your business. Why did you come here? What have you done to her?"
The queen rolled her eyes, hated to see that her son was too weak around a woman who was going to break their bond. She scoffed arrogantly, smirking to see Viona's suffering,
" She deserves it for hurting you. Besides, I am your mother and know the best for you. Your future is the future of our clan, son. We can't let her break the bond just like that. She must stay with you either willingly or unwillingly."
Alaric lost his temper. Shooting up from the ground, he barked, stepping close to face his mother,
" And who are you to decide that? I never wanted to force her. Let her go before I turn violent, mother."
Rosemund warned her brother, glaring at his face harshly,
" Don't forget who you are to speak with, brother. She is the queen and can make any decision."
Before Alaric could retort anything, the queen came forward to glare back into her son's eyes. She couldn't let her plan for getting ruined for Alaric. She used her authoritative tone to control Alaric,
" I can make the decision and I will. Even if I have to suppress you, I will be Alaric. She can't go anywhere after today."
" GUARDS!", the queen shouted loudly and soon a few groups of guards came behind Alaric to hold him. Alaric was speechless by his mother's determination. He shouted at those guards, gnashing his teeth together,
" Let go of me, fuckers. I am ordering you. Are you forgetting who I am?"
The guards were all in a difficult state. On one hand, it was the queen's order. Secondly, it was their future king who was forbidding. Reading through their hesitations, the queen yelled, using her powerful tone to order around,
" I am your current queen. You must obey my orders."
The guards were all composed, had no choice but to follow the queen's order. They kept dragging away Alaric, far away from Viona who was struggling with her pain.
The queen smirked in the upcoming victory, walked over to Viona to spat in the mockery,
" You aren't going back to your pack ever, Viona. This is your home now. You are going to give us the most powerful heir."
In a splash of moments, Viona's brain remembered all the happy memories, she had with Damien. Her hybrid strength felt threatened, kept thrashing to come out. It succeeded when the queen spoke her next words,
" And you will break the bond with that Alpha King not with my son."
" Arggh!", after a powerful snarl, Viona rose up from the ground, gripping the queen's throat singlehandedly. Scoffing at her face, she spat, her eyes glowing red to define that her vampire form was on the surface,
" Then, you must be reborn in other life to defeat a hybrid."
The queen choked for her life, signalling at her guards to stop Viona. Indeed, she never encountered a hybrid before and had no idea about their powers. Although she managed to trick her inside the temple which blocked her wolf power, she still had her vampire powers with her.
How could she forget that?
But the strength and dominance was unbelievable, nothing like some average vampires. As the other guards grabbed Viona from behind, she had to let go of the queen's throat. With another roar, Viona kicked the vampires away, blocking the spell coming from Rosemund.
Two more guards jumped on her but were thrown away after ripping their hearts off. It took only a few seconds to take those vampires down. Even Viona noticed that her actions were too violent today as if her vampire side was eager for blood.
Alaric watched everything in bewilderment. The temptress that he knew inside Viona was long gone. Instead, she was a bloodthirsty sucker today. Her hairs were disheveled, fangs popping out of her mouth whenever she attacked those vampires. Such a vicious sight was rare. For a moment,he was scared to approach her. Rosemund was having the same thought. Since her spells had failed on Viona, she was hiding behind her mother to block any attack from Viona.
The queen shouted at her defeated guards ironically,
" What are you doing, Morons? Get her now!"
But the guards were already beaten black and blue. Their strength had lost against Viona's attack. They didn't dare to get up and attack her viciously again. At the sound of the queen's voice, Viona's red liquid eyes glared at her way. Another animalistic snarl came out of her throat as she approached the queen in shot.
The queen almost stumbled, falling backward but Viona grabbed her throat first. She barked at the queen's face loudly,
" How dare you stop my wolf?"
The queen choked a few times, her eyes bulging out in fear. Viona lost her sanity. All she could think about killing this woman who dared to stop her in this temple, even threatened to break her bond with Damien.
Alaric snapped out of his daze, and saw that his mother was going to be killed by her. He shouted, almost begging at Viona who was choking her to death,
" Viona, Stop! You will kill her! I beg you, Stop! She is my mother!"
Viona's vampire side immediately compiled, leaving the queen's throat after pushing her. Although, she came to break the bond, their affection was undeniable. Viona didn't want to hurt Alaric subconsciously. So she had to let go of his mother.
Alaric breathed a sigh of relief and barked at his mother who was coughing still,
" I told you to stay out of my business! But you insisted on this!!"
Viona took back her control and saw the mess that she created here. Pursuing her lips tightly, she muttered glaring at Alaric sadistically,
" I trusted you!"
Alaric felt another stung of pain, shooting through his heart. He tried to reason, stepping closer to her,
" Viona, I knew nothing! Please! Trust me!"
Unfortunately, Viona couldn't believe him for the second time. She shook her head in disappointment and stared up at Alaric to spat bitterly,
" I thought, we are friends before mate. But you keep doing this to me, Alaric. I believe that this is our last meeting. I, Viona Rogers hereby break this mate bond in presence of vampire God with you."
She didn't wait for a second. Wiping the blood clean of her arms, she headed for the exit instantly. The air around Alaric had frozen instantly. His heart wrenched in pain so much that he fell on his knees. His heart started bleeding inside, following the rules of breaking mate-bonds. Within a few seconds, he spat blood on the floor. He knew that it was over between him and Viona. As the thought came across his mind, tears slipped down from his eyes. He sobbed quietly, staring at her retreating back,
" We may not be mates but you will always be my friend, Viona!"

" Your baby is doing well but you have to bring your mate next time to do some more tests. We can't do this without his approval.", the pack doctor notified Ariana who came for her first doctor visit in their hospital. A happy smile spread across her face after the doctor told her that her baby was growing healthy. But it faded away soon when she said that Brian was necessary in this test. These days, she didn't hear from Brian for once. She tried to convince herself, telling that he was busy in pack duties but the pain of betrayal reminded her of everything.
Ariana nodded with understanding, sat up holding the report in her hand. For the sake of her baby's health, she needed to tell Brian about everything. Sighing, Ariana left the hospital alone, calling Brian while coming back to the pack house.
" Hello!", Brian's lazy voice echoed through the speaker. Ariana's heart relaxed subconsciously and she started with a warm voice,
" Tired already? Do you want to come today?"
Honestly, Brian was guilty towards Ariana. It wasn't like he didn't care for Ariana anymore. The stress of becoming the Alpha tired him deeply. Reminding the promise that he made to Silvia, Brian replied sorrowfully,
" Actually... Ariana..I have some other important task to do..How.. about..."
" Brian, look at this suit. Will you wear this one or that one in the party tonight?", a voice interrupted their conversation through the speaker. Ariana knew more than anything else that the girl was none other than his fiance. Tears quickly poured from her eyes. Clutching the phone tightly in her grip, Ariana waited for Brian to speak. Brian responded awkwardly, trying to brush off Silvia,
" I will pick later. Come later, Silvia. I am at an important meeting."
Brian wanted to give his time to Ariana fully. But when he finally got rid of Silvia, the other one in the speaker was completely silent. Before Brian could utter any single word, Ariana quickly shut him off by saying a few words,
" I am sorry for disturbing you, Brian. I didn't know that you are busy with your fiance."
The call ended with a beep sound without giving Brian any chance to explain. Ariana sobbed quietly and thought about giving her mate one final chance tonight.
