The Lycan Series
Bullied By The Lycan King Chapter 83

Violet's

POV

I pulled my emotions together and took deep breaths as I navigated the small corridors till I got to the end which would take me to Emily.

It felt like it had been years since I saw her and I couldn't help but feel fear crawling through me.

But I summoned up courage and continued walking till I got to her section of the mansion.

I raised my hand to knock on the door but it flew open and my eyes met with her husband's Monty...

"Oh, it's the cheating princess," he hissed, loud enough for whoever was in the room to hear him.

My hands balled into fists and all I wanted to do was to throw some nicely packed punch into his face but I knew that would be going overboard, especially considering what the current situation was. "Please, I am here for Emily... Is she in?" I asked, trying to sound as politely as possible despite the turmoil within me.

"Oh, how sad... You do girls now?" A snicker escaped his lips and it took every ounce of control in my body to keep from slapping the smug grin off his face.

"Monty, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Emily suddenly appeared from behind the door with a frown on her face as she glared at her supposed husband.

He raised his brows but didn't move his disgusting eyes from me as he stepped away from the door and into the corridor -just a few centimetres away from me.

"Make sure you don't do anything stupid... Her fluid can't change the paternity of the bastard you carry!" He said with a click of his tongue as he went past me -making sure to hit my shoulder as he did this.

My heart felt jabbed with a hundred pins and I could literally feel the trickles of blood flood my chest as the pain began to spread.

Tears escaped my eyes, not because I was hurt, but because I felt helplessly powerless.

If things hadn't turned out the way they did... Monty wouldn't have dared speak to me in that manner but look at how low I had fallen?

My heart became tight with so much pain, it felt like my head would burst open.

"Don't take anything he fucking said to heart, you should know how f*****g stupid he is by now. Come in," Emily growled from the door.

I could tell her anger wasn't directed at me, yet I couldn't help but add it to my already sorry state.

"Sit down and tell me why the hell you risked coming to my room?" I heard her hiss the moment she closed the door behind me.

I wiped away my tears and turned around to face her with the last dignity I had left in me.

"I want to replace out about my past..." It was heartbreaking that after all I did, my voice still broke but I refused to talk. I was here. So there was no going back.

"This pregnancy..." my eyes dropped to it before I met her eyes once again, I might be a halfling and my father might be in the forgotten lands. I want to go there-and replace out how this was possible," I finished pointing to my stomach.

As I finished speaking, she moved away from the door, pulled out her vanity chair, and sat on the edge, observing me.

From the way she moved, my heart skipped a beat as I felt like she wouldn't even listen to my reasons.

"Emily, please... I have been to Hilda." I stopped to sniffle and then continued. "She told me that you are the only one whe could help me... Please... I am not trying to escape-" My voice cracked once again as the memory of my supposed parents flashed through my mind.

"I am not trying to run. I want to prove my innocence in all of these and... The only way is to prove that I am a halfling."

She let out a sigh and focused her unwavering eyes on me.

"Axel is the only one who can let you out of here. Don't you f*****g know that?" she asked.

My heart stopped and I forgot my status

-if I even had one still- I went down on

my knees and joined my hands before her.

"Emily, please... I have lost everything... I just found out that my parents aren't even my parents. I want to believe that this is just me being delusional but each time I think about my childhood, I realise that they never wanted me..." My hands went to my chest and I ignored the tears that now freely flowed down my face.

my parents never wanted me alive. This was the reason why they let Axel play with me because they wanted him to kill me for their propaganda..." I cried softly as pointed to my chest.

"Axel is the only person that was ever real to me... He is the ohly part of my memory that is true... Now even he hates me... Emily please, I have to replace out about this-"

My words stopped and I dropped my head to the ground as the tears crashed stronger through me.

"I just need someone in my life... I need to know who my true parents are. I need to know who I am... Am I just the daughter of a bunch of heartless criminals or did I have a mother who truly cared about me... For me..."

Warm hands suddenly held me and I hoped that the shock would help me control my tears but they poured even stronger.

"I understand how you feel," she whispered and my body crashed into hers, as I let the pain I had tried managing all these while pour out of me.

When I was calm, she pulled me to my feet and led me to her bed.

"Growing up, I thought my brother, Talon, fucking hated me," Emily said with a sad smile on her face as she tapped my hands gently.

""He sent me to a fucking human school. A hundred miles from home and my friends.

I wanted answers and I was just starting to get them when the revolution happened and he fucking disappeared.."

She raised her thumbs and gently wiped off the tears that continued filling my face and then she offered me a comforting smile.

"Helping you get to the forgotten lands will be a fucking stupid idea. But, I am going to f*****g give you a better option," she said and I felt my heart stop once again.

"I will replace out about this spy the humans sent while you go to Axel and try to-fixi

your relationship. Try to convince him about this search of yours... Maybe he will listen but I am sure..."

Even as she spoke, she shook her head knowing well that the idea wouldn't work.

"But he ordered the guards to kill me if I ever set foot in his presence..." I reminded her.

Her eyes glowed with a spark and she took my hands once again.

"Oh dear fucking Violet, haven't you heard of the story of the Queen Hadassah, a story told to human children?" Emily asked and a frown covered my face.

"Of course, I know the story," I retorted with the cloud of confusion still hovering above me.

"If you know the story then, you shouldn't be f*****g worried. I will remind you...

She said and adjusted on the bed, while her eyes remained on me.

"Queen Hadassah was told not to set foot in the throne room but when her people's lives were in danger, she threw caution to the fucking wind and she dared all the fucking rules of the land to go to the King..." I was quiet as I listened to her. I knew the story of the young Hadassah who was taken forcefully as a concubine and she rose to become Queen by daring against all odds.

But this was Axel... Not some legendary Kings who became softened by Hadassah's beauty and let her live.

"Axel would never let me out of his throne room alive -what am I even saying?" | hissed. "He will kill me at the door."

"The step begins with being f*****g optimistic Violet... just like Hadassah," Esther whispered and I looked into her eyes with uncertainty.

There were levels to being optimistic. I was optimistic when it came to her because I knew that somehow, when Axel accused me, she still looked shocked and there were doubts in her eyes...

So somewhere at the back of my mind, I knew that she might listen to me but the case was completely different with Axel.

"I am not sure about this..." I mumbled shaking my head but Emily smiled and placed her right hand on my cheek;

"..Queen Hadassah survived and you will too, Violet. All you have to do is believe."
