Free Web NovelChapter 281: Chapter 281 Go Time
Mira
I am so bored these days. Magoth told us we were not confined to our rooms anymore, but that does not mean I actually did anything but stay in there or in the courtyard. More people have left our camp, which means we are less than we hoped for to attack Silver Moon when the time comes. I don’t care. I have one goal and one goal only, as I know Narine has her own goals and Magoth’s has his.
He wants revenge over the King and Queen in the underworld for not allowing him to wage war under their name, and to kill them and have "proper" rulers on the throne. I have actually done some research in the small library we have here, and the information I gathered there, along with the gossip I have heard around the camp, paints a bloody picture of the past. freēwēbnovel.com
Narine wants to be Queen of the underworld, and she wants the current King to herself for some reason or other. I don’t really care about that part, but I do know she wants Queen Willow, former Queen Abigail and Kiara dead. She has other names, my mother amongst them, which I have no problem with. She asked me a couple of days ago when she visited me in the library.
"You have been in here a lot lately, Mira." Narine said while sitting down opposite me. I ignore her mostly these days, following the plan me and Lillith made.
"I have always been into history, and it’s nice to see something other than my room for once." Narine chuckles. The sound makes my skin crawl, but I just keep looking at the book in front of me.
"You have been researching about me." She states, and I shrugged.
"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Can’t do that when I know nothing about you." I answered to which she actually full on cackled. Shivers ran down my spine, and I tried to not let it show, but I know she saw my discomfort.
"I have a question for you, Mira." She said, changing the subject. She didn’t even try to find out what I was finding out about her. Does she not care, or does she not think I can find anything?! frёeωebɳovel.com
"What is that?"
"I am going to kill the Star Wolves. They have been a fucking pain in my ass for as long as I can remember, and I am going to start with that annoying former Queen; Abigail. But your mom is on that list as well. I wanted you to know, and ask if you mind if I kill her."
"Does it change anything if I mind?" Narine grins.
"Not in the least."
"Good, because I don’t care. She abandoned me - twice. Please make sure it hurts." Narine’s grin widens.
"I like you, Mira. If you don’t get killed in the fight, I will make sure you are remembered and honored for your bravery." I lift my head this time, my eyes narrow.
"No thank you. I don’t want anything from you. You are a crazy fucking bitch, and I do not trust you with anything!" Narine nods, the smile still in place.
"I am a good friend to have, girlie. And a really dangerous enemy." I rolled my eyes.
"You have been hidden for over 20 years, Narine. Excuse me for not trembling in fear at the sight of you." She shakes her head.
"Just remember what I told you." Then she left the library, and I went into deep thinking.
Even now I am confused why she would offer her allegiance to me? I have done nothing but work against her, trash talking and trying to get her kicked out ever since she came into my life. I hate the sight of her. But she still came to me and asked about my mother. I started searching about the Star Wolves after she mentioned them. I had no idea mom was some sort of badass wolf, neither did I know aunt Abby or the other were. I was angry for days when I found out! Why would they ever keep such important information from me?! Was my wolf some special creature with powers, and I lost her because of Maze and Amber?
The thought of Amber makes me wanna scream. She is also on my list of people I need to kill. The cunt turned her back on me as well and blamed me for everything that happened on their birthday. It wasn’t my fault! Maze was supposed to shove that fucking slut away before she even go close to him, but he didn’t and I ran. I was afraid enough of my feelings for him, not wanting them but wanting them at the same time. My wolf was so mad that she put up a permanent block that day when I ran from the pack. She blamed me as well. I apparently took her from her mate against her will. But it was Maze who didn’t react before that slut kissed him.
I heard him run after me, search for me, but I was so far gone in my dark thoughts I couldn’t go back to him. I had to find myself. I had to figure out why I was so conflicted. It didn’t help. The longer I was gone, the more I hated him for not finding me and bringing me back with him. For not loving me enough.
Then I died and our matebond snapped. But it should have come back when Magoth revived me. They say it didn’t, but how come I feel it?! I’m attracted to everything about Maze; his looks, his personality and his scent. Fuck his scent! Just the thought of it is enough to drive me crazy.
I asked someone about it not that long ago, a witch who joined our cause. She suggested it was a punishment from my Goddess for my crimes. I will feel the matebond and everything that comes with it, but the one I feel it with is not mine and will never be. He is mated to someone else, and I will have to live with that knowledge and longing for my entire life. She is, of course, wrong. I just have to kill Kiara for Maze to feel the bond between us.
Suddenly the hall sounds with echoes of yells and I hurry out to see what is going on. In the courtyard Lillith is on her knees in front of Magoth. Her clothes are covered in blood, she has a dagger in her hand and her eyes are dazed as she looks at him.
"Did you succeed, little one?" Magoth asks, and my blood boils. He calls her little one, but he calls me pet? What the fuck?! No! Focus Mira. This is important.
"I succeeded, Master. I stabbed the King as you instructed. They both fell and the confusion was complete." Lilith answers with a mechanical voice. She seems far away. "I stayed on your orders in the shadows to make sure they died. Their hearts stopped just a few minutes apart. They are gone. The Silver Moon pack is yours for the taking." I raise an eyebrow. Their hearts? She killed the King. Then I understand the ramifications of what she said and I feel like someone just slammed my head into a wall. She killed Maze. She murdered my mate. She did it on Magoth’s orders. The world spins.
"I know how you can get him back when all of this is set and done, Mira." Someone murmurs near me. I slowly turn my head and see Narine standing beside me. "Help me become the Queen of the underworld and I will bring him back to you. The fox bitch can rot in hell, but I will bring him back so you can be with him." I blink several times.
"You can do that?" I ask, my voice cracking. What is wrong with me?
"I can, and I will for you if you help me. I promise you will be together again." She says, reaching out a hand. I take it without a second thought.
"We need to prepare. We will attack the Silver Moon pack with our entire force in two days." Magoth’s voice carries over the murmurs and noise from everyone gathered. "Make sure you are ready. Bring out the weapons and look them over. We leave tomorrow as the moon rises." He walks past me, his arm around Lillith. The woman looks at me with a small smirk playing on her lips. She winks at me as she walks past me, and I narrow my eyes. She didn’t kill him. Not really. Whatever that bitch did, she did not kill Maze the way Magoth thinks she did. She kept her promise.
I hurry to my room, get my stuff out and start the preparation to go to war. This is it.
Go time.
