His abused Luna Queen (ON HOLD)

Chapter 13

I enter the beautiful grand palace and walk through the decorated walls, arm in arm with my friend Lizzy, Laila couldn't come cause she found her mate when she moved to my pack, my brother. It was awkward at first but I grew to be ok with it.

When I walk into the ballroom I don't see the king and let out a shaky breath. Then I smelt a scent I never want to smell again. I look at my dad and he holds my hand to reassure me. I looks over the crowd and see him; Kieron is here.

I take a deep breath and hold Lizzy close. I keep looking at the throne. 'What is taking so long?' I look at Lizzy, and my anxiety is getting stronger by the second.

Then I hear the trumpets and the doors by the throne open. The smell that had been burned in my head; nutmeg and burning wood. I watch as he enters the room and stand in front of his throne and looks over the room. I let go of Lizzy. I look at her and my dad. My dad nods at me while Lizzy gives me a quick hug.

I turn to the king and see that his suit matches my mask, it's gold. 'I picked right.' The music starts and a lot of woman go up and pretend to be his mate, two girls got into a fight and had to be kicked out with security. I stand back and watch until all the woman stop and he gets up.

He walks down the three steps that lead up to his throne and starts walking through the crowd when he suddenly stops and turns in my direction. 

We make eye contact and from there it's like everything slows down. I can see everything. I notice every little detail; the glares form the other woman, how he's tense, like he's hesitant, worried he would scare me off. 'I'm not running this time.'  we walk to each other.

When we're about a foot apart he takes in a deep breath and takes off his mask showing me his features. I smile lightly and do the same thing. I hold the mask in my left hand and as my right hand tucks some hair behind my ear. "For the past two years I've thought about this moment and what I would say, but now that I'm here, nothing can come to my mind on what to say or do." I smile softly. "I'm sorry I made you wait for so long, something happened that I couldn't control, if I could have come back earlier I would have. I'm sorry."

He goes to say something but a growl from across the room interrupts him. I look and see a pissed and I mean PISSED Kieron. The king turns to him and furrows his brows in confusion. Kieron starts storming his way over to us and I hide behind the king. I'm trying not to show fear but it's nearly impossible when the figure of my torment from since I can remember is coming this way. I close my eyes then I hear a sound of skin hitting skin, a sliding sound, and a boom, like something hit a wall.

I look around the king and see my father with his hand still out as if he just punched something. I look at Kieron and see that he's getting up from the floor with a bloody twisted nose. "If you think you will touch my daughter again you have another thing coming." I hear my father say and Lizzy quickly goes to my side and clings to me. My mother goes to my father and checks his hand to see if it's ok. I can feel Lizzy tremble and I hear her muffled sobs. I hold her close and whisper calming and soothing words to her to calm her down. I look at my father and he's having a stare off with Kieron. "Guards get Alpha Diavolo out of my sight. And don't tend to his wounds, from what I've heard, he deserves them and much more." I hear the king say then turn to me.

"Are you alright?" I smile softly at him and nod. "I didn't want us to meet like that, I was hoping it would go smoother." I say to lighten the mood. "As well I." He says with a chuckle. "Shall we go somewhere private to talk, I'm sure we have much to talk about." I nod and he leads the way.
