BEAST ACADEMY 2: LET THE QUEEN RISE

Ninth Chapter

Listen to a song called 'Dangerous woman' by Rosenfeld

Eveline's POV

It's been three days since my hot makeout with the Lord and his fiancee telling me the 'happy' news. At first, I cried about what was in me and was alone for the whole day but then I decided to get myself drunk really badly. Don't judge me, it's better than feeling like broken s**t.

"Maybe it's enough from you?" asked a handsome bartender who heard all my story...yep, I told EVERYTHING. You know bartender is the best psychiatrist. I nodded and he poured me some more whiskey. "Tell me, Louis, why the hell my life is such a misery?! HEll, why?! I mean I didn't do anything and...It's just such nonsense..." I drank whiskey in one gulp and remembered Bern's words when he told me that my talent is to drink. I huffed at the thought and ruffled my greasy, disgusting hair.

"Love, I can't tell you that. God gave you this destiny, it means you will get through this. If you wouldn't get through this, God wouldn't give you" I groaned, and Louis chuckled, "Come on, I think you should stop drinking even if that benefits me" I smirked and laid my head on the counter, "Oh Tomlinson, you are so perfect...I would date you...well my past self would date you" I heard a soft laugh and his blue eyes were the last I saw before dozing off.

"Where you found her?" asked the feminine voice.

"Tommo called me...he sounded calm and gladly he knows me knowing her" Bern?

"Okay...she is just drunk...I hope, bring some water" demanded a feminine voice and then I felt how I wanted to throw up...oh s**t.

I opened my eyes and then vomited somewhere...can't say precisely but I think it was Bern's lap...

"Oh, Cam, you so freaking owe me now..." he clicked his tongue in disgust and I don't know but that but me laugh a little.

"So you are laughing, huh? Little b--" and then I saw how the door opened revealing Coopers.

"Mamma-mia!" I love these guys...Eleanor, Levi, and Lark entered with a grin on their faces and I really appreciate when people make out of this a laugh and not feel disgusted or ashamed.

"You vomited on Elsher?" asked Eleanor but instead of being shocked she applauds and yells, "YES!!! TODAY IS MY FAVOURITE DAY!" I looked at Bern who began counting from five, "Five....four....three, you are dead" he stood up and run after Eleanor who was already in the hallway, we only heard her laughs and giggles.

I smiled at how Bern run away with vomited pants and received chuckles from Lana, Levi, and Lark.

"So? How are you?" asked Levi and I nodded, grimacing, "Feeling shitty but okay" his hands were in the pockets and then Lark exclaimed, "Why did you run away? It's been three days, Eveline...that's not a funny joke, alright? Poor Lana even called for us to help to find you" I looked now at the tiny girl and exhaled embarrassed...

"Lan...I am sorry" I closed my eyes and groaned, "Guys, really I am damn sorry! I just...I just" I remembered why I left this house and then my heart throbbed again in pain. F**king Lord.

"I know why you left and I am sorry too..." I looked at Lana and she smiled sadly, "What? Guys?" Lark took a step forward and sat on my bed and I totally forgot that I was in my dirty clothes since that day with Reece.

"Lord Reece made a proposal to Lady Melissa," she said while looking on the floor. I clenched my jaw and wanted to punch someone really hard, particularly Melissa or Reece.

"Oh...I-I wow," said Lark and faced me. "Was there something between you and Reece?" I hesitated for the moment and then shook my head with a smile, "No, if even we had...it's already in the past now" Levi looked uncomfortable and Lark pitiful. Lana then broke the silence, "Eveline needs rest, guys" twins nodded and exited the room waving their hands and I gave them a slight smile.

When the door closed, I exhaled hardly and looked at Lana.

"I am so messed up, Lan..." I clutched my hair in my fists and tried my best not to cry but she prevent it by coming closer and embracing me in a tight hug. "I understand...you will be just alright" she stroked my hair and I blurted out, "I wanted to start a happy life here...I didn't think about Reece but I fell for him not even realizing" she recoiled and said, "Eve, just remember, wherever you will go, the life won't be always happy and perfect" I let my tears scatter and that made Lan hug me tighter. "You are a dragon shifter, a royal, don't think about Lord Reece...he doesn't deserve your tears" her words made me better. She so reminds me of...of a girl I used to know, who always cheered me up...my first best friend.

"I appreciate you, Lana" she patted my back, saying, "And I appreciate you, your highness" I scoffed hearing this and recoiled, "Huh, I told you not to call me that...the coronation never happened" I stood up from the bed and went to my bathroom and heard her saying after me, "But you are still straight heir on the throne, whether or not, nobody can take what's in your blood" I stopped on the way with a towel in my hands.

Straight heir on the throne.

"Hm...yeah. One old man used to tell me the same thing...he was a good friend of my parents." I closed my eyes and tried to inhale to calm my nerves. "That's great...at least you have someone who remembers them..." she murmured and I could hear the sadness in her voice that's why I turned to her, "I am sorry for bringing that up" damn...only now I understood how ungrateful I am. These boys and girls who grew up like soldiers and servants are orphans and some of them didn't even know their parents! And never felt how it's like to have a parent! And I know...I received a gift that some people would kill for it...Love of mother and protection of a father.

"It's alright...um...you need to refresh yourself! I will be near if you will need me..." she gibbered and walked away. She didn't want to show her emotions and remember or even think...Lana Turner is the type of person who rather hears everyone's bother than tell her own. I just hope she will open up to me someday because she helps me a lot and I want to do the same for her.

Finally, after taking a shower, doing my hair, brushing my teeth, I felt A LOT better!!! Thank God, I am not homeless but again who took me here? Right...the person who broke my heart. Oh God, I need to stop this, really! Get a grip, Eveline! You are a strong independent woman! Plus, A queen of a powerful kingdom and the most powerful shifter!

Hey! I hope you like it! love ya, xo
