CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Christian

Watching my mate leave in a distressed manner completely pissed me off and my wolf, which was never a good combination.

“Are you serious, mother?” I asked, and she ignored me, cutting into her steak.

I slammed my fist onto the table, letting out a snarl, causing her to jump and look at me with wide eyes.

“You may be my mother, you may have been a queen, but I am the King now. My wolf doesn’t take your actions tonight on a good measure, so I suggest you not piss him off anymore.”

She sighed, bringing her napkin to her mouth.

I’d never had a good relationship with my mother. The lies she and my father kept from me when I was growing up were too much.

“I am serious, Christian. She doesn’t need to be a queen! You don’t know the torment she will go through, the hate. The sectors are something that can make or break you. That side of her, what she has been through, will never leave her. The pain and suffering she has endured; you wouldn’t begin to understand. That takes a toll on a person. She is not fit to be queen. She won’t do what’s necessary, and she will pity the weak. Mate or not, I do not accept. I’m happy for you, Christian. I really am, but you have to consider everything.”

I looked at her in confusion. “Consider what exactly? There is nothing to consider. I love that woman with everything in me. I’m not letting her go, ever. I’ve known her for a short amount of time, and it’s the happiest I’ve ever been. She will make a great Luna and queen. Dad even agrees. I try, and I try, but you push everyone away. I see why Dad is never around now,” I snapped, standing up.

“Don’t try to act like you know your father better than me. You hate me from keeping things from you, and I’m sorry, but some things are better left unsaid. You wouldn’t begin to understand...” she trailed off, shaking her head.

“Do not try to use his own mistakes to cover up your own. She is staying, and that is final. You know nothing about her! You’ve been home for an hour, and you’re already trying to judge her. Listen and listen closely. I will marry Scarlett. Afterward, I will crown her as my queen, and we’ll start a family. Now, it’s up for you to decide whether you want to see your future daughter-in-law walk down the aisle or meet our kids. I’ve said what has needed to be said. Until you accept this, don’t bother coming into the palace.”

Her eyes narrowed as if she was waiting for me to apologize or take it back, but I stood my ground, my eyes not leaving hers. Finally, she stood up and threw her napkin onto the table.

“Not on my watch,” she growled out, marching out of the dining hall.

I watched her retreating figure with anger coursing through my body. What was she up to?

Scarlett

I sat by the window that was in mine and Christian’s bedroom.
