Rejecting The Future Queen

Chapter 4

Yasmyn's POV

I sucked in a breath watching realisation slowly dawn into Alpha Brendan. I would have understood if he told me he wanted to reject me because he was already in love with someone else, or he wanted love and friendship to be there which we don't have.

But he chose the reason that made my blood boil. He said a person who does dishes isn't fit to be a Luna. Now I am trying to understand just how many Omegas faced rejections just because of their ranks and not because of who they are.

Maybe it's time I need to change that. But not right now. I have other things to deal with.

"It was nice meeting you, Alpha Brendan. But I need to head to the palace now. Hopefully I get to see you soon and I also want to tell you, that I am not rejecting you back," I said with my eyebrows raised at him.

The car was waiting for me. The army head with his head bowed down, waiting for my next order.

"Let's head to the palace now, Silas" I said and he smiled at me, before opening the car door.

Silas had been in my life ever since I can remember. He is like a fatherly figure to me. When my father was busy ruling the werewolf race, Silas was there to make sure I was fed. He made sure I was trained in everything I wanted. He was the one who also spoke to my parents to allow me to go on my own adventure.

That was how I was here in the first place. Because of Silas.

He closed the door behind me and I could see he glared at Brendan for a second before walking towards the driver seat. It's just him and me in this car. The rest of the guards will take the other cars.

We don't keep the same order. I don't always sit in the middle car. Even if I do, we keep switching the car orders on the way to avoid being a Royal target.

"Is he your mate? Of everyone on this planet Moon Goddess chose that dumb fucker as your mate?" Silas asked me and I laughed at him.

I didn't know he could swear words like that. I mean, I knew but he never did that with me. So this is new and I am kind of enjoying this angle in him.

"What makes you say that though?" I asked him again.

"He walks like he is entitled. He keeps forgetting that he is not The King and the world doesn't revolve around him. I guess he got it from his father. Both assholes," Silas muttered the last two words under his breath.

I turned to my right, staring at everything through the window. I didn't even bother packing my bags and leaving. I just have to be there at the capital pack before dawn. There is a lot I need to know and I should know.

"Is everything okay with Adi?" I asked Silas again.

"I cannot discuss Royal things this way especially now. Even thin air has ears these days. You'll know everything once you get back to the palace. It's only a matter of a few hours," Silas whispered.

Now that is only making me even more nervous. What could have possibly happened for him to not discuss the issues in the car when it's just the two of us?

I sat in silence, understanding that it will only make things worse if I start talking. Instead, I tried to form my own theory at least a little.

What possibly made my parents choose me as their heir apparent.? Adi Lorraine is actually the one to take the throne after my parents. Everyone in the werewolf race knew that.

And even if he doesn't..Selena, Raul and Vernon were already there before me. I am the fifth and the last heir to the throne. So choosing me as the next Queen is something that shook me.

I was given food twice in two different packs before we reached our final destination, the capital. The Moonstone Pack.

Everyone gathered in the way as Silas kept driving forward. People waved at me and I waved back, rolling the windows down.

"Not now, Princess" Silas said before rolling the windows up and locking meanwhile.

What exactly happened when I was away?

I didn't let my confusion show on my face, as I smiled and waved at people who were excited to see me again. I thought I was always invisible considering I am fifth and the last of the Royal heirs. No one really paid any attention to me.

Adi was the star.

The moment Silas stopped the car in front of the palace, I didn't waste another second. I ran inside and ran to the room where my parents are. In their own room of course. I thought they would be shifted to the hospital considering they are sick.

The security is heavier than ever in the palace. The corridors which usually had ten guards now have twenty. And four of them are stationed outside my parents' room.

I took a long breath and walked inside.

The smell was insane. One can easily say that this room is filled with sickness just by the smell itself. Smell alone.

My mother coughed at the exact same time and sat up on her bed, grabbing the glass of water on the table beside her bed.

Her eyes landed on me and went wide. There was a smile on her face but tears in my eyes.

"Yasmyn, sweetie is that really you?" she asked me and I couldn't hold it in anymore.

I started crying a river as I walked to her, hugging her.

This was not how I remember her before I walked out of the palace, on my own adventure. If I knew things would become like this I wouldn't have left in the first place.

My father is still asleep so I hugged only my mother.

"Welcome back, sister" I heard Adi's voice behind me.

I am home.

But somehow, it doesn't feel like home.

Something feels off here.
