Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 44

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

"Why would you send your guard to come drag my daughter out of my house like a common criminal?!" The man with silver hair and an imposing frame stood before me, his eyes shone with disappointment and anger.

I stared up into his face, looking very small next to his big body. "Mind your tongue, Elder Grigshade. I might be small but I am still the Alpha here." I say with a small smile.

"Not yet, young woman. You have to make it official."

"And I will, official or not, I am the next Alpha in line and your daughter is a suspect in my case."

"Father, please tell Your Highness to let me go." She cried.

"Shut up!" I ordered her to spite her father. Everyone knew the man to be filled with pride. He was an arrogant man just because he knew he had the wealth.

"Don't shun her that way." He warned.

"Or?" I crooked a brow challengingly.

"I knew you when you were just a newborn. Have some respect!" His tone was laced with frustration and annoyance.

"I will not respect anyone." I gritted my teeth, trying to control my fury. "Because none of you respected my father when you all ganged up to poison him."

I had no evidence to back up that claim but dad had gone for a meeting that day with the Elders just as he'd told me.

"Watch what you say, Erika! Don't bring upon yourself what you can not handle!" He wagged a warning finger before.

"One, never wag a finger at any member of the royal family else you'll pay dearly for it. Two, I will do whatever it takes to find my father's bad wisher or wishers, Even if it means bringing down the entire Fangoria, I will never stop." I stepped forward, looking him dead in eye. "And three, it is Your Highness to you."

"Are you in anyway threatening me?"

"Not a threat, Elder Grigshade. Just a warning. A simple but potent one." I stepped closer.

I didn't care who that person was, I was ready to stand up to anyone.
