Chapter 52

"It's unfair!"

A week has passed since their plans to infiltrate Stefan's base was finalized and even with my constant begging, my sister, my mates, and my friends still wouldn't let me come with them. I asked if Vaye and Eva could convince my sister for me, but they politely declined and said that it was for my own good that I stayed in the castle. Since they wouldn't budge, I went to Pearl, who happened to be one of Weiss' closest friends, but she also shared the same thoughts as her wife, Eva, and she even said she'll accompany me whilst they attacked the base which was nice of her, though it wasn't what I wanted. With no other choice, I then begged my mates and offered everything I had, I even went as far as to offer them my body, but I, unfortunately, received the same results. My mates declined, and they even scolded me for even thinking about using my body to ask for a favor. Let's just say I did not enjoy sitting under their disapproving gazes, and their stern scolding. It has not been a good week for me, not at all.

I did not even think about asking my sister, because why would I? Only an idiot would do that, and I wasn't one. While my sister did love me and cherish me, she could also become very.. protective at times. It would even reach to a point where she'd straight out murder anyone who dared to cross me, and this has happened thrice, I think? Thus, with all of this in mind, I've already accepted the fact that I had no chance of changing my sister's mind. It was impossible, and I wasn't a goddess, therefore I could not make the impossible, possible.

I did think about escaping and coming with them undetected, I truly did, but like I said, I wasn't a goddess. Eva Wolfe, the queen of werewolves, could smell me even if I was a thousand miles away. Vaye Throwne, the queen of vampires, could hear even the most silent breath I take. Gaia probably already knew and judging from her relaxed state, she must have placed precautions to prevent me from ever leaving the castle. The mate bond would immediately alert Mallory that I was following them. Last but not the least, my sister, Weiss Hudson, the queen of witches and wizards, already knew of my initial plan and has ordered several guards to protect me, or, rather, to make sure I don't escape while they're gone.

I couldn't use magic to conceal my smell, or to alter my appearance, and I sure as hell couldn't do whatever that fucking bitch did to me that made me suddenly vanish from earth without a single trace. I was.. stuck, and I couldn't do anything about it.

Whilst Pearl and plenty other guards will be accompanying me, Amethyst will be in the vampire kingdom, busying herself with her duties, as well as Sapphire. Meanwhile, former queen of werewolves, Jessie, also known as Eva's mother, will be managing her daughter's kingdom whilst she's gone. However, after they've secured Stefan's base and hopefully killed Stefan and that bitch, Eva and Vaye have informed Weiss that they will be returning to their respective homes and will be temporarily unavailable for anymore adventures together. Of course, Weiss and I thanked them again and again for their loyalty and friendship during this challenging time for our kingdom. Though, I honestly believed that the only reason why Vaye helped us was because nothing interesting was happening in her kingdom, and we all knew how much Vaye loved drama. Eva, on the other hand, was most likely craving for some sort of violence since I knew how barbaric she was.

I'll.. I'll admit, I was a bit jealous that those two would fight, even though they didn't have any actual ties with Stefan and the bitch.. meanwhile, I had all the means, all the reasons to kill those two, to join the fight, and yet, I was left behind.

Although I appreciated that Pearl would be accompanying me, I just.. I really wanted to go. I wanted to watch Stefan cry in pain, I wanted to watch Mallory smile as she kills her own father, and I wanted to see Gaia in her element. I wanted to be there for my friends, my family, and my mates. But most of all, I wanted to see that bitch die, I wanted to see her suffer, I wanted to see her cry, I wanted to hear her beg for her life, I wanted to give her hope and then take it away from her... I wanted to kill her.. so fucking much.. and they still said no... They all decided that I was in no position to come with them.. fuck's sake, I could still use a fucking sword, but they still wouldn't let me come.
