The Chosen Mate

Chapter Fourteen

Hayley's POV.

We arrived at the place. I took a look at my surroundings and found out that we were not at the palace.

I looked forward and saw the Queen, the King and Harold smiling at me. The only question in my mind was 'where am I?"

The queen hugged me and smiled before saying "welcome"

I curtsied before the Royal house hold.

"Do you know why we are here?" I shook my head After the King asked me a question.

"It is because of Damon." He answered. What happened to him? What did he do?

As if reading my thoughts, he answered.

"We want to test Damon's love for you. We want to know if Damon wants you because of the throne or because of you." The Queen said.

"Why?" I asked.

I wondered why they wanted to test his love for me. Damon loves me and I know it.

Why would they want to do that? Don't they trust his love for me?

"He detest humans. Now that his mate's Father is the killer of his twin brother. I don't think he'll love you." The Queen answered.

What?

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Your father killed Dimitri, my son. Damon twin brother" The queen said.

"What?"

"Damon saw you three years ago. He tried to track you down. He should have killed you but he didn't. I wonder why. But not until after three years that we found out that you were his mate. You should have been dead." The warlock said.

"We tested his love for you when we brought the shifter. I saw the love in his eyes for you. I told Harold to send the shifter. I made sure Damon came to your room that morning. The way he reacted shows he loves you but he has another mate now. A She- Wolf. We want to test his love for you. We want to know if he really loves you because he cares or because of the throne" The King explained.

I gulped. So my Father killed Damon's twin brother. He wanted to kill me at the library. Mom said that Dad was dead. Has he not taken his revenge by killing my dad? Why me?

"Magnes call Damon" the King told Magnes and he bowed before doing what the King asked.

"It's ringing"

"Give it to Hayley and Hayley, talk to him like you were kidn*pped, okay?" I nodded.

We heard Damon's voice.

"Damon" I cried falsely.

"Hayley are you okay?" He asked.

"No Damon, I've been kidnap. Please, help me. I think they are going to kill me." I cried out in pain.

"That's enough, she's gonna die Damon." Harold stated but he faked his voice.

"No please. I'll do anything." Damon pleaded.

"Anything" Harold said amusingly.

"Give up your throne" Harold said.

There was a long pause. What was he thinking about? Did he prefer the throne to me?

"No. I'm the rightful heir to the throne."

Damon gritted his teeth while replying.

When I heard his reply, I started doubting his love for me.

He never loved me. He was using me to get to his father's throne.

"Then you are not ready to see your wonderful mate again because she's gonna die."

"I don't care about her anyways. Kill her." My world just stopped as real tears came rushing down with flood of sorrows in my heart.

I realised Damon never loved me. He was after the throne.

I was stupid to believe him. He choose her as his mate not me. I was a fool for thinking he loves me.

He loves Rose. She's more beautiful than I am. Flawless and attractive while I'm just a human he has been wishing to take revenge on for years. If they were real kidnappers, I would have been dead for sure.

"Are you sure cos I'm about to pull the trigger?" Harold asked.

"Kill her if you like. She means nothing." Harold pulled the trigger and I slumped.

He hang up and looked at me. "Hayley, I'm sorry."

The King and Queen came to me.

They were comforting me but I was just weeping. I can't stand the pain I'm feeling.

"He doesn't deserve your tears. Stop crying." Harold whispered.

I shook my head. It hurts so much. I wanted his love but he pushed me to death.

I wanted his care but he shuned me.

I wanted his compassion but he chased me away.

I wanted him but instead he wanted her. He wanted Rose Manchester. I was nothing to Damon Agrippa but just a mere human.

"Call the doctor. She's dying. She needs to be alive." The Queen shouted.

"Hang on Hayley. Hang on." Magnes said.

"Can't you heal her?" Harold shouted at Magnes.

"If I use magic on her, she will either die or turn into a beast and we don't want that now, do we?"

"He marked her right?" Harold asked.

"It's a fake mark. He never marked her. He used magic making her believe that he marked her" Magnes explained.

"Damon has gone mad. How will he lie that he had marked her" the Queen asked.

"For the throne." I answered

I believed them when they said Damon has gone mad. He has. He has really gone mad.

How will he play with my feelings like this? He played his family in to believing he marked me.

Why Damon? I asked a question in my head knowing fully well that no one would answer.

I loved him with all my heart but he never did. All he cared about was his father's throne not me.

I heard the siren of the ambulance.

"Hurry up, she's having a panic attack" the queen shouted.

"Please Hayley, don't give up. Don't give up hope."

I blacked out hearing Harold's voice.

Author's POV.

Hayley Marshal was at the hospital fighting for her survival to live. The panic attack she had was severe.

Harold, Magnes, the queen and the king only pray that she survives.

The doctor came out to meet them.

"We've stabilised her. I'm afraid to say that the panic attack caused memory loss. The only thing she remembers is her name, her parents and hatred for your son. I fear she doesn't remember you guys. She only remembers her former life."

"That means she only remembers her past not her present." the doctor nodded.

"Yes, I think she's trying to push someone from her present memories." The doctor replied

"Can we see her?" Harold asked.

"Sure you can."

They went to the ward. They saw her crying.

Magnes looked at her not believing what the doctor had said and asked.

"Did you really loss your memory? Don't bother lying because I know you didn't"

"I did not. That's exactly what you should tell him when he eventually finds out that we tested him. Tell him, I'm now with my parents and we've moved after what happened." She said. The Queen hugged me.

"I'm going to miss you but be rest assured that I'll visit you, okay?" Hayley nodded.

The doctor said she can stay for a few days but Hayley declined saying she can continue her treatment at her parent's house.

"Dad, why don't we send Hayley some place else with a different name and identity where she can start a new life." Harold said.

"Yes, that's a great idea. What do you say Hayley?" The King asked.

She thought for a while then she smiled.

"Okay. I'll start a new life." Hayley replied.

Now she'll start a new life on her own without Damon Agrippa in it.
