EOWYN’S POV
Four days ago was like hell to me, I didn't know I'd survive the poisonous arrow shot. I was laid on the bed, groaning silently in pain on each move while my kids were shedding tears beside me. They are grown up enough to know that their mother was shot.
I gradually sat on the bed and signaled them to get seated beside me. They have cried a lot and it's beginning to hurt me, they're my strength and so I'm glad they weren't hurt or I wouldn't stay still until today. “The ministers assembled you in the royal chamber where they are undergoing a meeting—your presence is needed immediately.” I heard a masculine voice that was familiar to that of Alphas right hand man.
This was the first time I was being assembled by the ministers, I just hope nothing went wrong. “I'll be there right away!” I replied to the male at the doorpost. My kids glanced at me and broke up in tears again, I wondered what they thought was happening. “Don't let anyone in here, I'll be back.” I uttered and they both nodded amidst tears.
I put on a nice looking gown and left the room, heading to the royal assembly chamber just like the beta had announced. When I walked in, I noticed the glares from the ministers—and then, Alpha Remus wasn't present in the meeting. “Why would they call for a meeting without Alphas knowledge?'' I exhaled a deep breath. “Greetings, ministers.'' I bowed to them and they all chorused in response.
My head was bent low, I didn't want to look at them in order not to be scared—but I'll do good to listen to everything they have to say in Alphas absence.
“With the authority bestowed on me by Alpha Remus, I order you to leave this pack before sunset. You've stayed enough, and we wouldn't want to lose our king because of your presence here…” the chief minister declared. I swallowed deeply, my eyes shut as he continued. “Failure to leave this pack before sunset, you'll be punished for the arrow shut on Alpha…and you know what it means to attempt murder on his majesty…” he added again.
I bowed to him in agreement. There was nothing to think about when I'd already made up my mind. If I continue staying in the palace, Alpha Remus won't escape being endangered because of me and that will make issues worse.
“I'll leave the pack as soon as possible…” I muttered, but referring to the ministers gathered because of me. While their eyes were affixed on me, I walked out of the chamber without taking a glance backwards. I dashed into my room to see my kids still seated on the bed, but they weren't weeping any longer.
“Mother! Are you okay?” Draco asked in concern. I nodded with a smile while I began packing up our belongings, the maid who has been taking care of me already bathed the kids—so it's only me left. When I was done bathing and dressing up, I took the kids alongside our bag while we headed to the king’s chamber.
“Are we going to see the king before leaving?” Dante queried me, I'm sure they already know that we are leaving the pack. “Yes! We need to see the king before leaving.”
“He will start begging again…” Draco smiled. There was nothing funny about the king taking a shot for them.
We reached the king's chamber to see him standing while being dressed up by her personal maiden. He noticed our presence and ordered the maid out of the room. “Hope it's not what I'm thinking? Eowyn…” his deep voice echoed.
I got to my knees, that was the only thing I could do because I'll never stay back because of him.
“I'm begging you…”
“The ministers ordered us to leave—” Draco announced. I was shocked to the last, how did they know about it? “Alpha please, you need…”
“So it's true, my ministers placed an order without my awareness?” he bit his lower lips and scratched his head. I held his leg, “Its for your safety, you don't need to be in danger because of me again—and you need to reunite with your mate and rule the pack together.'' I stated, my voice breaking down.
He helped me stand on my feet. “I can't see myself letting you go!”
I forcefully took away my hands from his. “But I'm already leaving…”
“Eowyn!!!” he screamed.
I didn't bother glancing at him any longer or he might become my weakness. If we continue this way, that will cause a lot of regret for me. I took hold of my kids and walked out of his living chamber while he stood watching us, there was nothing he could do any longer.
“Your majesty! You've done a lot for me which I won't ever forget—and so I don't want to see you pass through pain any longer because of me…." I thought while leaving the palace. The last person my eyes caught before passing through the gate was Amelia, she was standing at a side, watching us and smiling devilishly. I hope she takes care of the king or she doesn't deserve to be his Luna.

After a long journey with my kids, we finally arrived in the Owl Blood Pack. This time, I went straight to the room I was staying in years ago to see it still empty, so we settled there. My kids were happy, running around the room as it was enormous than the one we were staying in the Red Owls Pack.
“Stay calm while i prepare something for you in the kitchen.'' I said to them before leaving the room. I walked to the kitchen which hasn't changed at all, the royal chef wasn't replaced and so she recognised me and left the kitchen without being asked to do so.
I prepared the meal alone until i was done, then i arranged it on a tray and lifted it in order to leave the kitchen, but i stumbled on a foot immediately i turned and the tray fell off my hand and all the meals were wasted on the floor. Behold was Meredith standing before me, her lips stretched into a deadly smile and her gaze filled with evil.
“You survived it, and you still returned…” she uttered and stepped back.
The first thing that hit my head was my kids, I just hope they're okay. “It's called, the return of the rejected Luna. I am back to take back what belongs to me—so you should get ready to step down from that throne. Having you as a friend was a mistake…” I slammed back at her immediately. Taking a step away from her, she held my arm and drew me backwards.
She turned to me. “First, you don't walk away from your Luna. Second, don't dream of becoming the Luna or that will be your end—in order to survive with your kids, you have to be mute and follow my commands. Third, clean up this mess immediately.” she stated after which she let go of my arm and walked out of the kitchen.
I rubbed my face, trying so hard to believe that it was a daydream. She knew so well that there's a hidden secret behind her position, now she wants me to be mute. I smiled widely and stepped forward when I came face to face with Alpha Blaize, he gazed at me continuously just like I did.
