Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 43

*****Erika's POV*****

"Here she is, Your Highness." Tasyra is presented to me in the meeting room. I made sure to dress as the Alpha that I was meant to be. The exotic, formal black dress depicts just that picture.

"What are you doing, Your Highness? Why am I here?" She is on the verge of tears.

I hardened my glare.

Nobody will fool me anymore, this is the time to exercise my right and begin investigation. But I need a clue, either living or not.

I needed somewhere to start my investigation from. "Why did you send someone to kill me?"

Shock expressed itself on her pampered features. "W-what?! I... I.....”

"Cat's got your tongue?" I spat, refusing to take in her clueless, confused and scared expression. Everyone was a suspect, whoever their family might be.

"N-no, Your Highness but why would you think I would do such a thing?" She took a look at me. "Your hand is completely bandaged. What happened to you? Who attacked you?"

I rose myself from the throne. "Don't test my patience, Tasyra. How did you know I was there? And who was that man you sent my way?"

She flinched at the fury laced in my words. "I'm sorry. I-I'm s-s-sorry, Your Highness." She sobbed, going on her knees.

"What are you sorry for?" I could not believe it was her. How could she do such a thing? She would regret it, I would make sure she suffered what my dad, Kat, Paula and I had all suffered.

I did not care whose daughter she is. I still called the shots. I was the Alpha of this pack.

"For anything you think I have done, I am sorry. I was only trying to make you feel better. I swear, Your Highness." She hiccupped, choking on her tears.

"What?!" I walked closer to her. "Guards, raise her to her feet." The two guards stationed at the door came to pull her up, I flexed my hand as though I wanted to hit her.

She wailed louder, almost fainting. It was such a funny sight and on a different day, I would have laughed but today was not that day. "P-p-pleaseeeee" she cried, begging.
