Chapter 50: Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Who is she?

PAMELA'S POV?

For the next couple of weeks, everyone was trying to keep me away from Lucius. It even resulted in Neal trying to get me to go back home. Ugh! The nerves that Beta had. How dare he tell me to go home?

When Lucius finally came to visit me, I was super happy. That same happiness faded with a snap of a finger.

"Lucius! I have been so worried about you. How are you?" I exclaimed, rushing over to hug him.

Before I could even touch him, he stopped me right away. The sudden changes in his attitude made me feel at a loss for words. That was not the Lucius I knew.

"I will be quick. Let me get straight to the point. You have been here for a while. I'm sure your parents miss you, and I think you should go home first." He said.

I was having a hard time processing what he said.

'Did he just kick me out of the castle? Is that what he was trying to do?' I asked myself.

I composed myself and raised my chin to look as poise as possible.

"I don't need to go home. You need me here, and this is where I'll be staying." I said.

"Just think about it," he said.

'Think about it? What did I say that was unclear? I will not leave!' I scoffed.

For the next couple of days, Neal kept implanting the thought of going home in my head. I got so pissed that I had to tell the guards to not let him anywhere near me or my room. Thankfully, they learned how to listen to me, because if not, I would have beheaded them myself.

As I sat on the balcony while having my afternoon tea, I could not help but think back to what happened a week ago.

FLASHBACK

Lucius had been ignoring me for a couple of weeks already, and it made me feel tired. I went to his office to give him a piece of my mind when the guards stopped me.

"Stop being disrespectful and open that goddamn door when I say so!" I exclaimed as I pushed my way through the door.

I faced Neal when I opened the door. He looked like he was about to speak when I stopped him.

"Don't you talk back to me? I am telling you right now that once I am already Queen Luna, I will ban you for your disrespectfulness." I warned.

A loud growl erupted in a room, and I immediately bowed my head.

'Damn the King Alpha's superiority!' I cursed in my head.

"You will ban no one, let alone my best friend, and you will never be the QUEEN LUNA!" He growled.

'What! No one tells me I can't be something I want. If I want to be Queen Luna, I will be!' I exclaimed in my head.

I looked at him with teary eyes. As much as I did not want him to see me cry, I could not control those damn tears. It was so hard to deal with emotions.

"Don't you love me anymore? Is it still her? You're still thinking about her, huh? You are dead set on making her your Queen Luna? Have you forgotten that she left you hanging?" I asked. Pain filled my voice.

"What do you want, Pamela?" He roared.

'Ugh! This guy is impossible!' I grunted in my head, completely annoyed by what was happening.

"What does she have that I don't, huh? Does she please you well in bed because I bet I can do well? Tell me." I spat.

'That's it! I am done!' I scoffed in my head.

The way he gave her so much attention drove me mad.

"She is not a slut." He replied.

"What is she then?" I yelled.

The tears that I was holding rolled down on my face.

"She's my mate!" He yelled back.

'No! It can't be.' I wondered how that was possible.

"No! You are lying," I said, shaking my head.

"I am not. Why do you think I would mark her if she's not my mate? She is not a slut nor my side chick. She is the future of my pack." He replied.

'Mark? He has marked her? Why did I not see it? No! I would have seen it if it was true.' I exclaimed in my head.

"You are lying. She would not have left if she was your mate. Besides, you have not announced it to the pack yet. You would have announced it if she was. I don't know why you are lying to me, but I will find out the real reason. You can't just push me away without a legit explanation, Lucius. Whatever it is, I will know." I said, storming out of the room.

I hurriedly went back to my room and sulked. I would never believe in whatever lies they fed me. Was it that bad already? Did Lucius really want me to leave the castle?

No! I would not let them win. Even though that bitch was already gone, I would show everyone that there can be only one Queen, and it was me.

'Was she really his mate? Ugh! All this thinking is driving me crazy. I need to find answers, but how?' I wondered.

I was staring at the field when a particular someone caught my eye. A smile crept up my face when an idea popped into my head.

'That's right. If there is anyone who would know better, it would be her - the Omega that was always beside her.' I thought to myself.

I got up from my seat and went back to my room. With a smile on my face and a plan in my head, I went to the Omega's quarters.

"Lady Pamela, is there something you need?" The same Omega that had been attending to my needs asked.

"Where is the Omega who was with that bitch?" I asked.

"Who are you referring to, Lady Pamela?" The head Omega asked.

"The Omega that was always with that side mistress of the King Alpha," I said.

"Are you referring to Queen Luna, Lady Pamela?" She asked.

"Are you really that dumb? She is not Queen Luna. I AM!" I exclaimed, losing my patience.

"Apologies." She said.

"Call Emily." I heard her instruct the other Omega, whose name I did not bother to ask.

A few minutes had passed, and that same Omega came back with Emily.

"Lady Pamela, is there something I can do for you?" She asked, bowing her head.

"Yes. I want you to come with me." I said, turning on my heels without waiting for her to reply.

Luckily, she was a bright one. She was hot on my trails as I went to the garden. Once we reached the garden, I sat on one bench as I waited for her to do the same.

"You know that whatever we talk about would be private. I will consider any word coming out of this conversation as treason and is punishable by death. Hope you are aware of that." I said, warning her.

"I am well aware, Lady Pamela." She answered.

"Good. I want you to tell me everything you know about that she-wolf the King Alpha has been obsessing with lately." I instructed her.

"You mean Queen Luna?" She asked.

"She is not Queen Luna!" I hissed, glaring at her.

I saw her shudder in fear as she looked at the ground. A couple of minutes passed, and she was just quiet.

"Start speaking before I change my mind and punish you for being disrespectful," I said.

"What do you want to know, Lady Pamela?" She asked.

"From what pack is she from? Who are her parents? Siblings?" I asked.

"Forgive me, Lady Pamela. I do not know the answer to your questions. She had never talked about her pack or her family." She answered.

That was such a waste of time. If she knew nothing, then who would?

"Tell me then, was she really marked by the King Alpha?" I asked, staring at her.

"Yes, Lady Pamela." She answered with no hesitations.

I was furious at what I heard. It could not be true. Why would he mark her? If she was really his mate, why would she be so dumb to leave? Does she not know any better?

Even after finding out the truth about her mark, I still could not shake off that unknown feeling. There had to be some kind of mistake. Maybe he had to mark her, but she really was not his mate. That had to be it.??
