My Merciless Alpha

Chapter:15(Ritual's turn)

Lily's POV

"Lily, meet Duke Zeleb. He is the elder of this kingdom"

"Greetings your majesty," said Zeleb.

"Hello, Duke Zeleb. It's a pleasure to meet you," I politely replied.

"Miss Luvian, its also a pleasure to meet you."

"Please call me Lily. No need for formalities in this room. I don't know even if my dear cousin Delian told everyone, but I have given up my throne to him. I recognize him as the heir of the throne."

Except Della and Delian everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

One of the ministers gasped in shock, "My lady! Sorry for my interruption but you should br in the throne now. King Delian didn't even want to take up the throne. He was forced to be the king due to the lack of your father. I was predestined and why would you want to give up the throne like that."

"Please call me Lily. As for the fact of being the heir, I am already a pure Lucan Perovera. According to my origin, I have to maintain the peace between all the realms in the world. I wasn't here when the kingdom needed me. So, in my position in the royal family I can give up my power as the queen."

All of the members of the council nodded at my response.

"Your hi-Lily it cannot be possible until we perform the 'Blood Curse' ritual," Zeleb mumbled.

"ABSOLUTELY NO! Lily will not do that damn RITUAL!" Delian rumbled.

"Mayra what is the 'Blood Curse' ritual?" I mind-linked my wolf.

"I don't want to freak you out, but this ritual is one of the deadliest rituals in the world. In ritual you may lose your life if everything doesn't smoothly," Mayra said.

I gulped and asked, "How does it work?"

"It works by unleashing your inner demon. You will be in immense pain while this goes on and after you cannot handle the pain anymore our demon will take our place. If she doesn't come you may result in death," she said with fear seeping from each word.

"Will it affect the mate-bond?"

"Yes, it will result in the breaking of the mate-bond as the Alpha king can't handle the pain and he would accept your rejection," Mayra whimpered.

I am quite disappointed about the fact that he would accept the rejection and the mate-bond will be gone.

"What if he doesn't accept the rejection?" I asked with a little bit hope in my heart. Even though I rejected him on his face doesn't mean that I fully hate him.

Every moment I think of him thinking if I had the chance of going back to him again. Thinking of his dreamy blue eyes made my heart fill with hope of happiness. His golden hair matched perfectly with his well structured body. He had sharp jawline which even cut a paper.

Snap out of it Lily. He cheated on you and insulted you like HELL. You can forgive him so easily- I said to myself.

"Lily, if he doesn't accept the rejection, then he will have to go through go the same pain which we will suffer. The chance of not accepting the rejection is less than five percent."

"How will he know that we are performing the ritual?" I asked frowning my head.

"When he will suffer immense pain, at that time he will ask his wolf the cause of the pain. His wolf will explain the cause of his pain. If he cannot handle the pain, he will be left with only two options," Mayra sadly said.

"One of the options will be to choose us, right?" I said with a sigh.

"Yes," Mayra meekly replied.

I broke of the mind link and saw everyone arguing. Some were supporting me to stay the way I am now and others were telling the king to think about the ritual. I saw Delian was fuming with anger and Della tried to calm him.

I stood up from my seat and said, "Everyone may I please have your attention?"

There was pin drop silence in the room. Everyone in the room looked at me trying to figure what I was about to say.

"I know about the blood curse ritual. I have decided to perform the ritual as soon as possible," I calmly said.

Delian and the others were stunned by my words.

"L-L-Lily you can't be serious. You can even lose your life due to this ritual," Della stuttered.

Delian gave me the most painful stare, which felt like he was dreaded for my response. Within two days like he has been my brother which I need through out my whole life. I saw he had fear of losing his most beloved sister. He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.

I walked towards him and pulled him out of the room. He looked at me opening and closing his mouth like a fish.

"Please say something," I nudged him on his shoulder.

Soon his face of pain turned into anger.

"You are NOT going to perform that F**KING RITUAL!" he said in a dangerously low voice.

I flinched at his response. His gaze softened for a second before turning hard again.

"l have no choice brother, I ha-'' he cut me off by replying, "I don't want this freaking palace losing you. You will not perform that ritual."

"I can't agree with you on this brother. I am not only doing this for you, but for everyone. I need to do this."

"I can't afford to lose you too. I already lost my most loving people. I only have you and Della," he begged.

It broke my heart to see my brother in pain. Delian lost his parents when he was only twelve years old. They died by the hunters. He was known as a cruel ruler before Della came into his life. She changed him into a sweet person. They have been dating for about 100 years in human life. We tend to live more than humans by hundreds of years.

How will I convince him to do the ritual now!
