Witch!
"I Luke, the Alpha of Silver moon, reject you, Amaya as my mate!"
I stood in the middle of the room, everyone was quiet, you could hear a drop of a pin. No mumbling, no whispers not even the breathing of the hundred guests in the ball room. Funny enough, not even the fly's buzz could be heard.
I could feel the piercing gaze of the once jolly audience on my back. The shame of being rejected as a mate plastered on my face. The first sound that came were my sniffles. My tears decided to embrass me today and the running nose couldn't just stand at bay for once.
"Eww, that is disgusting!" A voice echoed from my back. That didn't stop me from sniffing again.
"Instead, I would love to welcome my mate and soon to be Luna, Delilah!" You could feel passion in his words as he called her name. The way her name rolled out of his mouth as if it was meant for him.
The silence was replaced by a loud chanting for Delilah's name. Everyone called her. Her peers cheered for her as she strode towards the dais.
I didn't need to look up to see how she was sneering at me. Her long slender legs stood in front of me and I was very careful not to let my tears any where near her pretty heels. I held them back. I slowly bowed my head as a courtesy to the soon Luna to be.
"I told you, I have always told you, you are too weak to be a Luna. You have nothing, you little wolfless prick?" She walked past me and pushed me to the side a little. I blundered but I didn't fall.
Luca walked from the aisle and down to her side. The same way we had practised this over and over. I thought I was going to be 'swept' off the ground, jokes on me, the beauty and adorable face if Delilah was the one enjoying all the privileges of being held by the Alpha King.
I wnated to run, I wanted to take a step back but I couldn't take a step back because I had to watch the all coronation take place. It was considered rude to leave the coronation while the king and the queen were being legaly introduced to the empire.
I wanted to lift my head and clap he way everyone was clapping but my hands were turned into a little ball gust ready to hit something bit there was nothing to hit. I was still in the morning ddle if the audience and I couldn't escape amdayne go to the back.
I took a step back and suddenly a voice echoed from the Dais, "don't let her move, don't let her near you!"
I was shocked. That was the voice of the current Luna queen, Melissa. She stood from her chair and posted at me. I looked around as everyone walked away from me and left a big circle.
"What?" I asked but that came out loudly. I could hear heavy boots towards me and I knew the guards were summoned to come mad take me.
"Ladies mad gentlemen, " Luke picked the microphone and looked down at the audience. Our gaze met but he quickly averted his eyes a ay from me. He looked at he audience while grabbing the hands of his mate. "We have always been trying to keep you safe, we have tried to make sure that our kingdom is safe but one of us today didn't want us to be a safe kingdom."
Everyone mumbled in a worried but low tone. What did he mean one of us? Where was his speech hearing too? What was he planning to say now?
"Amaya," hearing my name come from his mouth, I hazed up and looked at him, he didn't avert his gaze this time round instead he took one step from the Dais and stood near the dancing floor." I rejected you because you are a witch and a spy!"
"Noo!" I said angrily. He had already rejected me . Why would he call me a witch now? Who was inspy form which country was I spying for? I know very well that ever since I was young I have been having trouble as a wolf bit I am neither a witch nor a spy.
"Yes you are!" Shouted the Luna queen. She walked down from the daisy and stepped onto the dancing floor. His son stood at his position and didn't took a step forward.
How did they know I ama witch? I am a wolf.
"You are paying!" I retired as tears kept following through my eye. I couldn't move any further because the guards had their weapjns on my back and I was surrounded. I watched as the people I once knew as my friends point guns at me. Some even had their spears ready to Peirce my skin to prove that I was a witch and a spy.
"Amaya, are you trying to say that the Luna queen, my mother is a.oiar!" Retired Luke.
Everyone gasped from the audience as they cursed me. I knew very well that I was no witch in this audience and I wasn't even afraid to admit it.
"Yes, your honour! She might have received a wrong information about me. I have lived here for thirteen years and all those years, I have been a gold person and even you your majesty, you can attest that." My voice came out brave, my words qere clear.
I was okay with him rejecting me but tainting my name, that was a no.
"Let us prove it!" Said the former Luna Queen.
How was she so sure? How did she find out that I might be a witch?
"Push her forward!" She ordered and she got some leather gloves from a her assistant. I didn't know what she wanted to do. If she wanted to burn me alive, I am not going to grre into this. Burning witches alive had been prohibited all throughout the kingdoms.
"Maybe you want to retract the statement about your queen being a liar, Amaya," she sneered while moving closer to me but I wasn't afraid. I shook my head in a negative. I was going to stand on my ground no matter what.
She asked for match stick and everyone gasped. The audience stared crying while other were sympathising with me. I knew I might end up badly destroyed but I wanted tonstnad on my ground. "I am not a witch!" I said it loud for everyone.
"If you are found crying and sympathising with this criminals, you will be jailed and punished secretly," roared Lucas ans everyone went quiet. The only thing that could be heard were sniffles, there was nothing much.
The queen mumbles some Latin things before she ignited the match stick and placed it on my dress. The heat was too powerful and I could feel the hem of my dress burning up. My legs were shaking and I feared that I might irk the fire ro my leg back t luckily the hem of the dress burnt and the blue colour disappeared leaving only a silve colour behind.
The audience gasped in shock as they saw the silver on my skin. After the luminous blue colour was burnt, the silver materials were left behind.
"In our kingdom, we don't wear any silvers. Silver is considered a very harmful object s to he wolf!" The audience chanted a yes and some of them started growling. I could hear the hatred. Those who were sympathetic started cursing behind me.
"Ladies mad gentlemen, you can see the witch that wanted to kill me tonight, she wanted to use her dress to kill me hut we diacivered thia early begore sue vpykd di it!" Luke was very brave in his words. He roasted if finding the killer before I could even kill him.
"Your Majesty, Luke, let us first test this silver so that no one will go ahead and say that we tried to make some judgement without proof!" Said the former Luna queen.
A slave was oushed forward. He was in chains and he looked emaciated. The former Luna picked my dress and stitched it on the slaves arms and it's started burning at faster pace than before. I was shocked. I didn't know that my dress was designed like this. Whom am I going to tell this yet I am the one who sew my dress for this event?
I haf no evidence. There was no way I was going to defend myself from all these allegations. I had sewn the dress, I had planned to kill the Aloha king. I ma a witch I am a spy and I am killer. Those were.my titles.
"Burn her! Kill her! Shoot her! Jail her!" Maybe words werebaimg chanted on my name. I knew very well that I am none if those tittle they tried to lay on me. Ia agood person. That wasn't approved.
"The silver chains were cupled on my wrist. The Luna sneered at me, I wat he'd as Delilah lifted a glass of champagne on my face, I watched as Luke slowly watched me being taken away. The guest were throwing things at me.
"You pathetic Liar! "
"You are a killer!"
"You don't deserve anything!"
"Kill her!"
"Burn her alive!"
"No mercy!"
