Chapter 25
Fear grips me. I stare at Sabrina and then at the door. I don't want her to get caught.
“Go. I will find my way out” she says. the door banged again and it opened. Dean barges in with his men. I stare at him with bulging eyes.
“Where is she? ”he asks me.
I looked at my back and Sabrina was gone. I heaved a sigh.
Dean's rough hand grabs my shoulder as he turns me around “Where is the lady you were talking to?” He asks glaring at me.
I square my shoulders and swallow hard “I don't know. Let go of my hands!” I shout at him.
He glared at me for a while, his alcoholic breath fanning my face, I cringed in disgust. He let go of me at once pushing me into the air. I stagger and try to get my balance for a while.
“Look for her! ”he orders the guard to look for her.
I rearrange my dress and storm out of the hall making my way towards the hall. I sit on my seat and watch as the dancers skillfully dance.
Dean barges in later with his guards “You are associating with a sorcerer!” He shouts as he advances towards me. Everyone turned to us.
I close my eyes for a while using my hands to massage my forehead. I am sure I will have a headache at the end of the ceremony.
“No. I did not!”
“Oh yes, you did. The woman was nowhere to be found and you waited for us to break into the room! You have arranged your meeting!” He shouted. The crowd gasped in surprise.
I knew what he was trying to do. Getting the crowd to hate me just like he does.
“I did not. I did not know who she was”
“Of course you did!” He shouts
I scoff and stand up “How am I supposed to arrange a meeting with a sorcerer when you had me locked up all this while?” His jaw tightened.
“Don't bring this into this issue” he growls at me.
I nodded back “Oh yes, I will. Since you think everyone is trying to be as evil as you are.”
“I am not evil. You know witches are not allowed here”
“Locking someone up, beating a woman up, pouring pepper on her and almost killing her is called what? You did this to me and I did not say anything yet you stand here trying to educate me about what is right or wrong! You are all covered up with evil. You don't know good!”I shouted back.
He glares at me as I take in shaky breaths. Lorenzo clears his throat and we face the crowd.
“Let the party begin!” Lorenzo shouts. The crowd kept quiet for a while looking at the both of us.
Gradually they turn back to their usual business. I am sure the women must be murmuring among themselves.
I square up my shoulder and sit on my throne. The other co-alphas come forward with their gift.
A fellow Luna walked up to me with a basket of fruit and other things. “They are for you,” she says and puts them down.
I nod with a smile. “That's so thoughtful of you,”I reply with a smile touched by her kindness.
She smiles back. “I must reward you back,” I say. She furrowed her eyebrow to look at me
“What do you mean? ”she asked me. I smiled at her.
“Just wait” I replied “Sasha!” I called out.
Sasha rushed towards me acting all naive and submissive. I place my hands on her shoulders “Take her as my gift to you. Help me watch her. She is my maid but she lied to me. I want you to keep her as a slave to do anything. Just make sure you keep her out of the royalty's bed for she is a slut!”I say with the last part with much anger.
Something shines within Luna's eyes and I am afraid that she would refuse me. Then Sasha would mock me. She smiles at me “Very well then” she nods with understanding
“No! You can't do that!” She shouts, drawing everyone's attention including her lover, Dean.
Just as I planned Dean excuses himself from the men he is talking to and walks towards me with a confident aura.
“What are you doing?” he asks.
“She is-
I raised my hands in the air and shut her up “ I am giving out Sasha as a gift to my fellow Luna” I replied with a smile well aware of everybody's eyes.
He furrowed his eyebrows at me “What? Who gave you the right?” He asks, looking at Sasha whose eyes are already filled with tears.
“Oh! Don't you remember? You said I could punish her any way I want for lying against me and making you treat me badly” I replied with a low pitiful voice.
He stared at me as confusion masked his face. I am sure he is trying to unveil what I am planning.
I have put him at a crossroads. He can't say no. It would make him look bad before his people.
“Lia” he calls out in a low angry voice. I smile and turn to him and hug him. I whisper against his ears “Try to do anything stupid and I will tell the people what you and her have been doing and how you treated me badly” he tries to free himself from my grip but I tighten myself around him.
“That's not all, my oh my. I will make your people turn against you if you try to ruin my day”
He is silent for a while before he grabs my hair. “I will make you pay for this” he whispers back with a voice.
“Be my guest” I replied and stepped back.
He clears his throat “Take her with you” he says addressing Luna.
Sasha's eyes widened in shock. I smiled at her as I turned to hug her one last time. I whisper into her ear “See you when I see you”
I give a plastered bitter smile at her. The Luna nods and leaves with Sasha
A bold smile creeps on my face with pride. My eyes gaze round the hall and land on a familiar face with a smirk.
