Chapter 15

-----------------------------

With Sophie Anne alive, the possibilities are endless!

Sookie's POV

Pam looked around with a confused face for a whole two seconds and then a smile brightened her face.

"I have been waiting for you and the others that work for Eric to join us tonight. Didn't you get my text?" I asked her frustrated. She was supposed to be here several hours ago. I texted her while she was still dead to the world with instructions for tonight. "You're the first one to show up."

I was starting to worry over her absence, and now, seen her stressed look and unmatched clothes made me realize that something bad happened. Pam eyes went wide opened when she spotted Sophie Anne, "your majesty," Pam said and her smile widened as far as her facial skin allowed it.

Pam turned to me, "you never cease to amaze me."

I smiled at her statement. I must say that Sophie Anne's presence was pure coincidence, but the others... well, I have been very busy since I first met Bill.

"I told you, tonight the king dies for good," I stated as a matter of fact.

"And here I thought today was not going to be a good day. You're in luck! They are both in Fangtasia which is driving Eric and all of us crazy. I received your text when I first woke up, but it is impossible to bring Eric's subordinates here. The king thinks Fangtasia is his new castle and we are at his disposal. Which brings me back to the reason for me to be here; the king is requesting your presence immediately. Just know that Eric has done everything he could to protect you," Pam said staring into my eyes.

What has Eric done? I breathed deeply trying not to cry.

"Do not leak again," Pam demanded and she was right. This was the time to fight and not to cry.

I faced Alcide, Calvin, and the others, "It seems that the time to fight is now while they're still in Fangtasia. I'll meet with them while you guys make your way there. Pam, make sure all of Eric's people wear the Fangtasia shirt to distinguish them from the king's entourage."

Pam agreed and without further delays we went to her car and off we left. I said all the prayers I ever learned, yet the driving took forever. At least, that's how it felt to me.

My phone beeped with an incoming text from Alcide, "we're five minutes behind you" and my tension grew even higher.

"Why does the king want to see me with so much urgency?" I asked Pam. The silence was killing me. I was expecting Pam to drive in a hurry, but to my surprise, she was actually driving to the speed limit.

"Eric has done everything he could to help you. You must keep that in mind," she replied.

"What did he do?" I asked, scared of the answer.

"Tonight he's going to divorce you. He has accepted the marriage to Freyda. His decision will keep both of you alive."

A divorce? What the fuck? "If he wants to divorce me, then why am I doing this?" I asked with a giant bump in my throat.

"He doesn't want to, but he must. Otherwise, you will not live another day. Neither will he. However, your plan overrides everything. Eric just does not know it yet. He will be pleased."
