Chapter 96-Sarah’s POV – I was just a pawn
I was insecure watching the rate at which Sherry and Ryan were falling for each other, all over again.
I wasn’t opposed to her happiness but I was wary of what had happened before we lost everything.
***
Let me take you back in time a little. A time when life seemed a little logical –
I was just headed towards the Moonlight Pack but before I could reach, I saw Sherizad coming at our place.
I watched her storm straight back to her mother’s chamber.
” When is Tristan coming? I want to get married to him right now! ”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
I knew something had happened between her and Ryan for her to act so stupid and impulsive. We all knew how madly in love she was, with Ryan, even though they never professed.
” Tristan should be on his way to Sherizad… But why does it seem like you just got rejected, darling? ” I was sure the intention of her mother was not to mock her or anything but she whacked her hand away then trotted straight towards her father’s tent.
It was the proudest moment of my life when I saw her sit of her father’s chair with her mighty air and declare,
” This is what was given to me though I never asked for it. This is my father’s legacy. I don’t care who I need to marry to keep my claim on this but I promise you all, I will be that queen for you that goes down in history. ”
Her mother and I both bowed before her majesty. She smiled. The sweetest that I had seen.
She married Tristan that very night as soon as he came. It was a quiet and private affair. But my Sherizad looked like she was waiting for something else to happen.
The wedding rituals were completed peacefully. The vows were exchanged. The small feast was spread out in the presence of all the chiefs and region heads and Sherizad officially inherited her father’s throne.
I took her away to her wedding chambers to get her ready for her groom.
She grabbed my hand as soon as I touched her cheeks with the blush in my hand.
” Midnight, you know you do not need to over do anything. Just give me my usual night dress. ”
” But Sherizad it’s your wedding night, you need to… ” I had tried to reason with her with success.
” Just a formality to get what was required at the moment. ”
I saw her walk towards where her groom had been waiting with a very heavy heart.
We all retreated that night, knowing that it was a new beginning.
Little did we know that we would be waking up in the middle of the night with the sound of the alarm ringing again.
I rushed towards the central tent where my Sherizad was with Alpha Tristan.
We rushed inside without weapons bared, only to find Sherizad, standing on the top of the corpses of two of our chiefs. Her hands were bloody with their filthy stain as their warm beats still trembled in the grip of her mighty hands. She looked like an avatar, baptized in rage. She looked at us as she kicked their lifeless bodies towards our direction.
” Feed their bodies to the vultures in the morning. There will be no respect for the ones trying to stab their newly wed King, even if they are dead. ”
Her voice sent a shiver down all our spines.
Alpha Tristan also watched her with bewilderment.
” Call the Healers Midnight. ”
” Round up all the families and friends of the traitors. I wish to deal with them personally. ”
Our queen hurled orders as we ran to fill them.
Alpha Tristen had been bitten on his ankle and it seemed like it was an attempt at poisoning.
I rushed in with our best Healer.
He immediately began his diagnosis.
His eyes frowned as he tried to stop the bleeding but with repeated failed attempts.
” What is it? ”
Sherizad asked , looking very impatient.
” I am sorry for my ignorance , my queen. But I have never seen a wound like this in my entire life. It makes a werewolf unable to heal. It’s like an almost impossible feat. ”
Sherizad huffed as she heard what the doctor had to say. She watched silently with keen eyes as he struggled to cover the wound, temporarily.
She sighed heavily before getting up , clapping her hands on her thigh as she got up.
” Midnight, you know which tribe has the best Healers in these lands. ”
I nodded. There was no doubt it was Ryan’s pack.
” Go fetch the best of them. Tell them, they will be paid as they wish, for this cooperation. ”
I immediately bowed and left, without wasting another moment.
I knew that money would not be the matter.
I didn’t know if Alpha Ryan knew about Sherizad’s marriage.
If he did , it was going to be awkward.
And if he didn’t, it was going to be another big mess.
I was mentally preparing myself for all the questions and answers as I rode towards the Moonlight Pack in the darkness.
