Forced to marry the Alpha lord

Chapter 22

However, that horrible night had finally ended. It went away which also felt like hours had gone by. But that night was gone and everyone in the castle was thankful for that. However, right as of now, there was just one more day left for the crowning, and after what had happened, thinking seemed to be going a little down hill for both Barka and Evi.

"knock knock......."

A notice came from outside of her room and that small knock still had the power to wake her up. Evi slowly opened her eyes. As of now she was noticing the massive carved ceiling right above her. Something Evelet has seen over and over again for the past 3 days. She had got pretty much used to waking up this way. However, at that moment, she felt a little out of place, like she was tired or something. It was very unfortunate because she felt as if she was going to fall, even though she was lying down on her bed. Her head now hurting and her body feeling better than ever. But Evi placed both her hands on her head, giving it a small massage as the irritation was starting to grow and right at that moment came another large knock on the door.

Alarming her this time.

Evi understood that the knock was for real, someone was outside.

"Can I come in?" She heard Nori's voice and immediately there was a smile on Evelet's face. A very small one. Never the less, she pushed her body up, feeling a little stiff.

"Grrrr..." She growled, and sat on her bed getting comfortable/

"Come in." Evelet let out, only to see Nori open her door and walk inside. She was already dressed for the day and at this moment, Evi couldn't help but think what the time was.

"Why are you sleeping for so long?" Nori asked, confused. And this stunned Evelet.

"What time is it?" Evi asked. And quickly she moved forward and picked up her phone to say it was around 10 in the morning.

"What?..." She muttered, Evi's eyes wide open when she noticed what had happened. Never had she ever slept out for so long. This was the longest Evi had ever gone in her life.

"Oh my God, what happened to you?" Nori asked, looking at Evi seeing her condition, and her hair, that was still a little wet, and so was her pillow.

"Where were you, out in the rain last night?" Nori asked, looking out as the floor of the balcony that was drying up, clearly knowing about the amazingly large amount of rain that kept pouring outside. However, Evi did not know what to say to her. Never the less, Evelet did not want to explain out everything.

"Is everything okay? Why were you out in the rain?" She asked, rushing right past Evi, and walking into the washroom. However, Evelet did not see what Nori was doing, rather she sat up straight, getting off the bed and sitting by the corner, not really knowing what to say at the moment.

"I was just out in the rain for sometime" Evi lied and right at that moment, Nori walked out of the washroom, keeping her eyes on her Queen.. Clearly understanding that yes, she was in fact lying. Never the less, that wasn't quite a bit of a problem for her, Nori was there to help her out. And so she walked up to her new friend, with a large towel in her hand and right then Evi saw her and her eyes went wide open. She started to shake her head.

"You don't have to do any of this." She said, feeling a little embarrassed, but immediately Nori slapped her hand away from there, surprising the Queen herself and Evi's mouth hung loss.

"Did you just slap me?" Evi asked, chuckling softly. However, it was honestly quite difficult for her heart to give any sort of reaction, since after the evening she had last night. But Nori was bringing out a different side in her.

"Yes, I did. And you are not a queen yet. So you can't really tell me what to do." Nori said, and Evi's eyes went wide.

"Queen or not a queen, we are friends, right? So I want to help you." Nori let out, being the most honest with her best her friend and this actually brought some sort of happiness into Evi's life, because for so long she couldn't help but feel like she was alone here. Completely forgetting that there were people here who wanted to be close to her. Slowly Evi smiled to herself as Nori started to dry her hair.

"I think I'm started to understand that I have a new family now." Evi said, speaking from her heart, because now she had someone to talk to and it meant a lot to her.

"You don't have to worry about anything, you have two families now. And maybe it's time that you got to know us as well. Because we and the entire pack are dying to get to know you." Nori let out, and that again brought another beautiful smile on her face, as if it was growing on her numb skin. It was freeing in a way and that was some sort of achievement for Evelet.

Quickly she looked out the balcony, looking at the bright kingdom that was right under her.

"I want to go see them outside, I want to go meet them today before the crowning," Evi said, stunning Nori.

"My god, that's a brilliant idea." Nori said as her eyes went wide open, brighter than ever.

"This was just one of the best things to ever happen, people will be so happy to know you want to meet them." Nori said, and Evelet nodded her head.

"But for now you have to come down, look at your crown and wear it one time." Nori said, and there was a frown on her face.

"Why?" Evi asked.

"It's a small tradition here, that you put the crown on your head before the original crowning. It's like a personal one with the family just to see how it looks on you or something like that....... I don't know." Nori said, shaking her head, not knowing how to explain to her.

"All the Kings and queens did it, especially Barka's mother, and now you have to do it as well." She said, but as those words came out, the smile that was once growing on Evi's face suddenly started to slip. It was very quick as that happened and Nori noticed that. And was thinking of how to make Evi feel much better than before.

"And by the way, you can add your own type of jewel on to it as well. There is an artist here who has been collecting a lot of rare diamonds all over the years. He will show you a few things and, in your particular crown, you can have that." She said, hoping this would change her mind and bring some kind of happiness back to her.

But it did not. Evi looked down at her hands as they were messing around with each other. And at that moment, Nori couldn't help but think that maybe Evi was getting scared.

"Are you okay Evi?" She asked, actually concerned.

"I know you just did not go out in the rain because you wanted to, maybe you wanted to calm down a little bit. I can understand being with Barka cannot be that simple." Nori let out, and Evi looked up at her friend.

"I don't know what we are doing, but we are just doing this for our people," Evi said, as painful as it was.

"But that is not it, Evi, you both should give each other some time." Nori said. However, this time Evi had nothing more to say to her, because she couldn't explain it to her over and over again. All those words that Barka said to her was so painful, that even now her energy feels low but her wolf was there with her. Of course, Evi was thankful for it. But both of them are just so upset with Barca.

"Okay, don't worry about that. Go change, Queen mother is waiting for you and don't stress." Nori let out. Evi slowly nodded her head, understanding that, good mood or bad mood, the day had to begin never the less and quickly she got up, making her way towards the washroom, to completely divert into this new person today.

......................................................................................................................................................................................................

After a while or so. Nori and Evi were walking down the stairs to a different part of the castle, where there was much more open area, and this was them walking out into a large garden like area that had the castles surrounding it on every side. She could also see a few people walking here and there, decorating the castle for tomorrow. Evelet looks everywhere, trying to see how this place looks beautiful as ever. Everything being done for her and Barka, but everything looks like a big lie to her never the less.

Evi slowly walked out, dressed in a beautiful light blue dress that went up till her knees, flowing with the wind. She looked very majestic. The queen mother immediately felt her aura and a huge smile that had started to grow on her face.

"The queen to be is here." the Queen mother said, praising her towards the man who was talking to her. Evelet immediately walked up, as the young looking man slowly bowed his head down, seemed like he had been working with them for years.

"It is such an honor to meet you, my Queen.." He said, taking her hand in his and placing his forehead on it. It was like a way to give respect to her. She. She still had no idea what to do when things like this happened, but Evelet smiled at him.

"Why are we here? out in the open?" Nori asked the Queen mother.

"Actually we were about to make our way up to wear the crowns are. I thought, why not take a walk through the garden first, get some fresh air." She said, slowly pushing Evi's hair behind her shoulder. The Queen mother, she was worried about her and after what had happened to her yesterday, she wanted to get her mind out of all those things.

"Come on, let's go.." The Queen mother said, as all four of them started to make their way through the garden and to a different section of the castle. However, right at that moment, as they were making their way forward, instantly they noticed Barka coming from the other side. Evi lifted her head to see him as well, feeling his wind around her body, and quickly Evi saw as the man was talking to someone and deep in his conversation. Although, there was a sudden shift in his expression as well as if he could feel Evelet around him.

He looked away from the man and directly into his mate's eyes, as if he could feel a pull towards her. It was just strange as they both stared into each other's eyes and Barka very well saw that she was still so heart broken, there was no glow that she normally had, and the spirit to fight as well. To him Evi looked so tired. However, Evi felt a pinch in her chest and numbness in her palms. Quickly Evelet looked away from him, because she just couldn't hold the same stare. She was still angry, upset, and irritated. Everything she felt was heavy on her.

"Barka, it's great that I found you here." The Queen mother said, as he walked up and Evi kept her eyes away from the Alpha Lord. Barka was making his way towards them, and his eyes were just on her. He wanted to pull away, but it seemed so devastatingly hard.

"Come on, let's go upstairs. I want you both to decide something." The Queen mother said.

"Grandmother," He let out, finally looking away from his, soon to be Queen.

"At this moment I am a little busy." He said, but she was not having it.

"Do this for me please, Barka. I know there is a lot for everyone to do, but please." She said. However, Barka couldn't do anything asked, now that she requested him. Slowly, then Barka slowly nodded his head, glancing at Evi again. Who wasn't looking at him. Within no time they both were making their way out of the garden, all of them together and Evelet was keeping her distance from him. Still a little upset, but everything was just painful for her to be this close and not get any closer to him. Knowing Barka could never want her. However, every now and then Barka would glance at her, see if she was okay. It was something he couldn't help himself with, but was doing it anyway. Something inside of him was making him do this.

Right at that moment, they all got to a different part of the castle and there they saw two guards that were guarding a door. And the moment they saw the royalty coming, they both opened the door for them, unlocking it before that.

The large door banged open widely. It was louder than ever and everyone quickly walked in. Even one Except for them, both Barka and Evelet were last to get in.

How ever, Evi then walked into the dark room that looked mostly like a library, and right behind her, very close by came up Barka. And in an instant, suddenly the door, that was wide open. It started to close up right on Evelet. She did not even notice it. She was looking around this massive place, but Barka saw how that mass of a door, which was very heavy and now it was coming right at her.

He suddenly had a stern look stuck to him, quickly he placed his hand on it, stopping the door from even touching her. However, his hands were so close to her face, that the heat surprised her.

"Huuuhhh.." She gasped a little, taken a back and her eyes quickly landed on the door that he held on to. That surprised her, and for no reason at all she then slowly turned around, feeling his heat even more so of his body. He was closer to her than ever. Evelet turned and looked up, only to see Barka hovering extremely close to her. His chest touched her back.

She felt the sharpness in her body, one of the best feelings in the world, but she did not know how to stop it. Barka was looking down at her, almost as if he just wanted to hold her tight. Because her big doll like eyes were just staring at him, he could see the sadness that he had created and it was burning inside of Barka.

How ever, for Evi, she quickly looked away from him. Evi had to force herself to do that and if that was it, she did it. Never the less, he quickly walked into the room, leaving him there all alone. His Barka clenched his jaw, letting the door do as it slammed back.

They all walked in and there were already two guy inside, polishing the crowns, one on either side.

"Come this way." The Queen mother said, leading her to a crown.

"This one once belonged to Barka's mother. She was an amazing queen, and of course, saw a lot in her time as well. But one of the best things to happen to this Kingdom." Queen mother said, as Evi was looking down at the crown. She was very proud of this moment, and that she would get to be their Queen. But some how, all those diamonds did not put any feeling inside of her. It was just a peace of jewellery that would indicate a title for Evelet, nothing more. She looked at it with no sort of emotion. How ever, the man who was polishing it, he looked at her a little confused. Normally, anyone would have a big smile to see such a priceless possession, but not her.

"Tomorrow this will be on your head, and life will change for you officially. You will be the queen of this Kingdom, of the werewolves. There will be a lot of emotion standing inside of you, and the people will be on your mind, while with your King standing right with you." Queen mother said, and at that moment Evi was forced to look up and meet her eyes. Taken a back by her words.

Although, she very gradually glanced away from Queen mother and behind her, to see Barka, talking to another man about his crown, he was not paying attention.

Standing close to him in this life, and ruling right next to him seemed next to impossible to her.

"I think we should try this on her, and later, my Queen, you can decide your Jewel that you will want to put on your crown. Something that indicates you." The man said, showing her of all kind of stones that he had picked out for the Queen herself. Something she could select from. Nori's eyes had her eyes wide open, this was the very first time she had seen something like this. Because she was not born in Barka's mother's crowning. Everything was new for her as well, and the experience was fantastic. Nori could not forget all this either.

"Let me....." The queen mother let out, taking the crown in her hand and smiling brighter than ever. Very delighted to see Evi wearing her crown. However, Evi had no excitement in her face, a little upset and fatigued.

The queen mother, raised the crown up, was excited to put it on.

Evi's and Barca looked away from the man and was watching Evi as well. As everyone's eyes were on her, when suddenly something interrupted them.

"AHHHHHHHHHH........" A loud scream came out the kingdom, and by all of their great hearing, everyone heard the scream was coming out of pain.

And the moment, as the scream came back, Barka and Evelet were alert. The man looking out through the large windows at his Kingdom and just like him, so was Evi. She was staring right through, and trying to figure out who it was and where it came from.

"Something happened." Evi said, and without saying another word she immediately turned around, sprinting out of there.

"Where are you going, my Queen. Where is she going?" The old man asked, taken a back that she did not even let thee Queen mother keep the crown on her head. But the Queen mother, she stood there surprised. Nori and Barka too, both of them immediately got out of there as well. All three of them rushed out.

The Queen mother, on the other hand, she was watching her children. Evi left without even putting the crown on.

"Queen mother, what does that mean?" The old man asked, but the Queen mother smiled softly to herself.

"That she was the right choice by the moon goddess." She said, slowly placing the crown back on the large black pillow it was on.

"Her people were more important than this crown." She said, looking at the old man who has been at her service for years.

"And that is what you need in a queen." She let out, happier than ever, as the Queen mother knew what ever challenges would come back. Evi would have to go through this, but with Barka. Together they would do it never the less.
