+CHAPTER 28+ The King's Betrayal

Flashback 

Emmeline woke from her slumber with her heart beating as if she had run a mile.

She clawed at her own neck, trying to lose the invisible noose that was constricting her neck, making it impossible for her to breathe.

Something was not right~

Emmeline looked at the empty space on the bed where Aric was sleeping before.
The faint traces of his scent were indicating that it has been a while since he left.

He never left without telling her.

'Something was not right~' These words were playing in her mind like a broken record.

Emmeline's Fey has the ability to sense doom, currently, her heart was constricting as if someone was stabbing her heart with a knife.

Her heart had never known pain like this...
'Maybe something is wrong with Aric. . . What if he's in danger. .?' A voice echoed in her mind.

Her mind was filled with troubled thoughts.

In the past few days, Aric was acting funny. Every time she had tried to get close to him he had become distant. An invisible wall had formed between them and Emmeline was unable to break through that wall.

Deciding not to wait, acting on her instinct Emmeline followed the faint traces of Aric's scent but soon she was stopped in her tracks when Aric's scent led Emmeline towards the forest.

Emmeline was a Fey and like her ancestors, she had always felt a connection with woods but the dark woods in front of her were giving her chills instead of the homey feel that they had always given her.

Standing on the edge of woods Emmeline looked back towards the castle, castle that she had left behind.

Her every sense was hyperactive.

She was getting a feeling that she was not going to like where this search will lead her.

Keeping all her doubts aside, Emmeline walked into the forest to track her mate down.

Aric was acting strange form the past few days. He was distant, the spark in his eyes whenever he gazed at Emmeline was gone.

Something was bothering him that he wasn't sharing with her. Something that Emmeline was unable to read in his mind. She had tried but his mind was a mess. Even Emmeline's Fey wasn't able to read his mind.

Something was eating him alive, something that Emmeline wasn't aware of~

Suddenly Emmeline was pulled out of her thoughts. She stopped in her tracks when her mate's pleasure-filled moans reached to her ears. 

Her heart stopped beating, her stomach was doing backflips.

With shaking leg Emmeline took a few steps in the direction of her mate's moans only to be greeted by the sight of her mate fucking another woman against an oak tree.

She fell on her knees. .The proud Fey was panting for breath after falling on her knees.

Aric was doing something that was impossible.

Emmeline was the one who had Aric's mark, she was the one mated to him. A marked and mated lycan can't get hard for another because the beast that resides within them won't let that happen but there he was. . .

The King of Lycans. . .

In all his glory. . .

Fucking someone who wasn't his mate. . .

It was said the if the human of a Lycan tried to cheat on his mate the beast won't let it happen but the scene that was in front of Emmeline denied everything that she ever knew about her mate's kind.

Not only Aric but his beast was cheating on Emmeline too~

The simple task of breathing was becoming more and more difficult for her with each passing second.

Eyes filled with tears, a hiccup escaped from her lips which were enough to get the female's attention towards Emmeline. 

Her blood-red orbs met Emmeline's tear-filled eyes.

The witch's eyes flickered towards Emmeline's stomach then back to Emmeline's face, a tear escaped from her blood-red eyes.

A witch~

She was a witch, Emmeline's mate was fucking a witch!

The mate who was still busy in sticking his dick into that bitch! Unaware of his mate's presence there witnessing everything.

Aric had once looked in Emmeline's eyes and told her that his heart followed the rhythm of her heart, their hearts beat together. . .

Today their hearts were beating on different rhythms.

It felt like the two soulmates were standing on two different ends of a bridge but the worst thing about that was that Aric was standing with someone else while Emmeline was alone.

The hands and lips that had once worshipped Emmeline were now busy in cherishing someone else.

Emmeline, The Fey Princess was standing there like a dumb little girl, watching her mate with teary eyes.

How many times had they fucked before? Did Aric had laughed with that witch after they finished fucking each other?
They must have made fun of the fact that how stupid Emmeline had been all this time. They had made a fool out of her. 

Fool out of a Fey. . .

Hot furry bubbled inside her chest!

How could he!!

Standing on her feet Emmeline stepped towards them, holding eye contact with the witch Emmeline dared her to utter a word.

Holding Aric from the back of his neck, catching him off guard she threw him away from the witch.

Aric looked at Emmeline as if he was seeing her for the first time. He looked at her as if she was a stranger, not the woman he had been mated to.

Emmeline looked away from his mate, it pained her to even look at him, to watch him gazing at her as if she was a stranger.

The eyes that once held love for her were now looking at her with venom.

The bloody witch!

She was the one who had placed that look in her mate's eyes. Because of her, Aric cheated on Emmeline.

The bitch will pay for her deeds~

Gaze set on the naked bloody witch, Emmeline attacked her, pinning her beneath by a hold on her neck.

Emmeline can't deny the fact that the witch was beautiful maybe more beautiful than any female Emmeline had encountered before.

Maybe Aric fell for her beauty. . .

At this moment Emmeline wanted to ruin the witch, she wanted to strip her beauty away, the beauty that attracted Aric towards her.

Emmeline had heard tales about a witch's powers. Witches were the race that had their image tainted by false rumors.
Most people thought that witches worship the devil, eat children and curse others for fun but that was not true.

Witches were the beings that have a lot of common traits with Feys but witches have soft hearts, unlike Feys who were malignant in nature.

Fey practice magic just like witches but Fey's magic was no match for a witch's Spell.

A true witch was a participant of Eternal Moonlight Magic. She knows authenticity as well as she knows deceit. She knows pleasure as well as pain, light as well as dark.

Emmeline remembered her father's saying that 'A witch is a gentle being, the only race that can die from heartbreak. One is no match for a witch's powers but if you want to kill a witch then play with her emotions, play with her heart and she'll be defeated..... it's the only way to kill a powerful being like a witch'

Feys were known for their knowledge. Knowledge was their most powerful weapon but witches were known for keeping the secrets of the universe within their souls. 

A true witch was the worshiper of the Goddess of Nature. 

You will never find a more terrifyingly authentic soul than a Witch.

Emmeline was told to never mess with a witch because if you dared to cross a witch she will protect herself by whatever means necessary but the bitch who was currently pinned beneath Emmeline didn't even fight back. It felt like she wanted to die.

And Emmeline was more than happy to fulfill her wish.

Retreating her claws she went for a kill shot but before her claws could touch the witch's neck Emmeline was thrown on her ass by Aric who was now standing in front of the witch protectively.

Emmeline looked at her mate, her heart filled with betrayal and agony, the type of agony that she had never known before.

He had shown his loyalty towards his witch lover.

The bastard had not even a tiny bit of remorse over what he had done to Emmeline. He was proudly standing in front of the witch, protecting her.

Aric had chosen his side, he had chosen the witch and now there was no turning back. Now Emmeline had to choose between crying all her life over a cheating dog or making him regret what he did to her.

She chose the later. . .

With an agonizing cry, Emmeline charged towards her mate, hitting him like havoc.
