Chapter: 69

That woman…

Mellisa… The woman Titus pointed out 5 years ago when he rejected me.

I should have known that she would come, yes, everyone knew about this tragedy and came to show support as a loyal form of alliance.

The ceremony continued by mentioning the names of the fallen comrades one by one and honoring them.

I slowly walked away from the stage towards the woman.

As if knowing that I would head towards her she slowly walked over and we met in the middle but far from the people who were still focused on the event.

“My queen…” She greeted me politely and bowed her head which I returned with a brief nod.

“Nice to meet you, finally” I responded.

She nodded “I’d like to apologize in advance, back then I didn’t know that the king found his fated mate and foolishly rejected her because of his cowardice” My eyebrows shot up in shock at her words, she didn’t know?

Is she not…

“No, I’m no one to the king, there was never any relationship other than business and work” As if she could read what was in my mind, she answered firmly “I’m a witch who helps protect his kingdom” She added, whispered softly in my ear making my eyes widen in shock when I heard her.

A witch?!

He has a witch helping him?

“I thought…”

She nodded like she knew my question before Drake came to where we both stand and wrap his arms around her.

O. My. G*d!!

“I see you meet my girl, my queen” He said with a knowing smirk forming on his eyes.

F*ck!

What the h*ll happened here?!

When I look up to the stage, I notice a pair of eyes staring back at me with a knowing look.

They played with me!

I hit Drake hard out of annoyance, because Titus was too far away “Da*n it, you’re all playing me!!” I hissed softly because I didn’t want to create drama while the event was still going on.

Drake sighed “I told him to tell you, but your mate has a lot of prestige. I’m sorry we’ve made you suffer for the past 5 years” I grunted in annoyance with my eyes fixed on the man still on stage, indicating that my annoyance was directed at him.

The 5 years of suffering I went through were all because of a lie?!

Evil!
