Rejected and Abused

Chapter 16

Unknown POV:

it has been 4 days since Myra has returned to the palace before she went on a mission to the blood moon pack she always had a smile on her face now as i look at her across from the table her eyes are red and puffy from the tears that she sheds it seems like she can't go an hour without crying i can tell my mother is worried about her and since she is half witch half vampire if her emotions get too out of hand she can attack someone if she gives in to her blood lust Myra has been in our lives since before i was born but i know my father would not think twice about killing her if she attacks a member of his court and that would leave my mother heartbroken i know she sees Myra as a sister not just some member of the guard my mother told me something bad happened to a girl at the blood moon but that is all she would say i can tell Myra is keeping secrets from my parents and she hasn't said a word to me since she returned the second time she stays locked in her quarters and only comes out when her mate drags her out to eat i have never seen her so shut off from everyone even her mate i look towards my mother who is looking at her friend with worried eyes "Myra after dinner the king and i would like to speak with you in my office" my mother says Myra looks at her and it looks like she is about to say something but before a sound can come out of her mouth my mother raises her hand gracefully stopping her from speaking "before you say anything Myra know this is not a request but and order from your queen you will meet me in my office once dinner is over do i make myself clear" my mother's voice booms through the dinning room making all of the guard stop what they are doing they all look at Myra who now has her head down looking at her hands under the table "yes my queen" is all she can say as she reaches for a black thermos and begins chugging it like no tomorrow once the thermos is empty she places it back on the table and quickly grabs a napkin wiping blood from her lips watching her feed used to make my stomach turn but after so many years of watching her feed it doesn't bother me anymore once i am done with my dinner i excuse myself and head towards the gardens i take a seat on a bench and breathe in the night air it is cold but not freezing i slowly reach in to my back pocket pulling out my wallet i reach inside pulling out a old tethered photo as i unfold it my heart skips a beat "hey baby" i say to the pictures as i look down at the only picture i had of my mate and i together i can't help but shed a tear i miss her so damn much the same day i found my mate was the same day i lost her to a drunk driver i met Danni when we were 16 at a mixer that my parents where having from the moment our eyes met i knew she would be my queen we danced all night my parents were so happy i found her when we told her parents they agreed to allow Danni to move in the palace so we can start to learn our duties as the future king and queen i refused to wait another moment so i pushed her to drive to her home and bring her things right away i wanted my mate with me every moment of every day she agreed right away when we were walking to her car before i could open her door our fathers stopped us telling me i wasn't allowed to be alone with her just yet so Danni would go with her mother to pick up her things Danni understood the rules and agreed to her father's demands when she hugged me goodbye i snapped this picture of us i was kissing her cheek and she was smiling at the camera when she got in the car with her mom i had no idea it would be the last time i would see her when her father and i got the news that his wife and daughter had been killed in a car accident he lost it blaming me for the loss of his family saying if i would have waited for her to get her things till the next day they would still be here i was filled with so much rage and sorrow i hunted down the driver who killed my mate he walked away without a scratch and a slap on the wrist since his father was some big shot in the human world for weeks i would play tricks on the driver messing with his mind making him go slowly insane till he ended up shooting himself in front of his family at the time i felt it was justice since he took from me Danni's father didn't allow me to go the funeral to say goodbye to my mate he said it was my fault she was gone so i didn't have that right he had his wife and Danni cremated and scattered their ashes at a secret location two months later there was a fire at their home he went mad and started the fire killing himself in the process after that i threw myself into training working everyday to become the strongest wolf the kingdom has ever seen Myra said because Danni and i didn't mate or mark each other there was a chance i could possibly find a second chance mate and because of that my parents have not forced me to marry some random girl to make my queen i doubt i will ever find a second chance they are very rare and almost impossible to find as i take my final look at Danni for the night i feel eyes on me as i look up towards my mother's office i see Myra and my parents looking down at me with sad eyes 'what the hell' is all i can think to myself 

Myra's POV

i have been doing my best to avoid the king and queen for a few days now when i returned to the palace for the second time i gave them as little information i could i told them the girl i was sent to interview was abused by most of her pack but the main abuse she endured was at the hands of her own parents when i returned again i informed them that she had been greatly injured by her now ex mate i didn't go into detail about the damage that was done because Nikki was a blessed child even without the full story of what had happened they still ordered Angel to watch over Nikki and her brothers although i was thankful for that i still held so much guilt for the pain the poor child has endured i keep telling myself the same thing i told Mary before i left 'the future is not set in stone it is always changing there was no way we could have known and stopped what happened to her' i continue to tell myself this from going mad i know its true but it still doesn't sit right with me how could one girl endure so much pain and still still remain sane i haven't met anyone especially her age who can handle the things she has been through without negative effects done to their mental health "Myra it's time to stop with the secrets or for better words with holding information as king and queen we must know what is happening in our kingdom in order to do our jobs to the best of our ability" king Damion says to me while i gaze out the window looking at the beautiful gardens that are right below i still say nothing he should know after all these years my loyalty and service is only towards Queen Elaina, after several minutes of me ignoring her mate she decides to take matters into her own hands she doesn't say a word instead she calmly walks over to her desk and opens one of her drawers and takes out a velvet box i already know to well what it is and i know there is not getting out of this she walks over to me signaling for me to have a seat in the nook as i do so she takes a seat next to me gesturing for her mate to sit beside her "Myra i don't know what your so afraid but as your queen i order you to show us what happened to the girl and also why you feel so attached to the girl" Queen Elaina told me while handing me a gold dagger with a white pearl handle i took the dagger and sliced my palm handling her back the dagger so she could do the same to herself when it was done i grabbed her hand to show her everything i could not disobey my queen but i didn't have to be happy about her forcing my hand so i didn't warn her about the pain or sorrow she would feel while reliving Nikki's past i begain to whisper a spell i noticed the queen grab her mates arm while tears streamed down her face i then knew her had to see what she was seeing so i quickly started to chant another spell that would allow him to see as well in a matter of seconds their eyes were clouded over while tears streamed steadily out of both the king and queen's eyes they were experiencing everything Nikki did every broken bone every bruise they felt it all i knew the memories were coming to an end and they were getting the flashes of the future when the queens hand started to shake she was seeing the truth i didn't know how any of the royals would handle this suddenly their eyes snapped open looking at each other for a few moments and then looking at me 

"this girl who has endured this pain who is fighting for her life the girl you fear will never wake up she..... she...... she's Triston's second chance mate and our future queen" the queen asked me with trembling hands and a heavy heart tears filled my eyes as i turned away from them "i didn't want to say anything he's already lost one mate the same day he met her loosing another mate would kill him Danni's death almost broke him till he threw himself into training this time it would kill him and no amount of training would save him this time" i say to them as we all look at the gardens looking down at Triston "what do we do my love i can't loose our son" the queen says to her mate he has a stern and empty look on his face " we leave for blood moon tonight all of us ladies pack your things i will tell Triston to get ready as well if anything can save this girl it's a mate's love we must keep faith in the moon goddess we must believe our future king and queen can mend each others hearts and make each other stronger and i have some business to attend to as well that pack abused my future daughter-in-law every single one of them will pay!" King Damion said he grabbed his queens hand and walked out of the office 'PLEASE NIKKI WAKE UP SOON HE CAN'T ENURE ANYMORE PAIN' i pray while looking down on the young man i watched grow up
