Chapter 3 - Chapter Three: The Queen Redemption

Olivia sat down in her chamber peeping out of her window. Even though she could see the mighty building she was caged in, she could not go out or do things of her choice unless she sought an order from the one high above, who happened to be her husband, Damien.

Damien came to love Olivia and had a soft spot for her as he became so attracted to her that he couldn't control his emotions towards her.

Damien's personality was great, but he had dark clouds hovering over him and were posing havoc for him as he was always attacked. Surprisingly, he managed to maneuver and dodge the attacks.

But now he was married to a beauty. He was helpless and didn't know what to do, but he couldn't muster up the courage because she was avoiding him and hated him for everything he had brought upon her.

He could see her looking at him from the tall, mighty building that stood right in front of him, but he couldn't just let his emotions control him because he had to be the supreme leader of the pack.

Damien had suffered greatly in the pack because his parents were slaughtered in fierce bloodshed, and when he knew Emily was going to sell her friend off, he was determined to save her at all costs if it came with his life being taken away from him.

Being the leader of the pack comes with a heavy burden as he struggles to put his fears aside and play along no matter what happens.

Damien frowned and she scoffed.

"What is wrong with him "? she whispered to her maid Nora, who was the head maid, and she burst into laughter.

Olivia was astonished; instead, she shook her head in disbelief.

" I am really hungry, and you should tell him to open this place up, or I will break it down if he refuses to heed my callings".

Nora was shocked as she didn't expect that from the queen because she was as timid as a rabbit but this was out of the blue.

She had heard stories about the queen who was her master but it was the opposite.

Since Olivia had been crowned as the queen, her once vibrant mind became weak, her smiles faded and all she had left was a dull reflection of her former self.

What should I offer, Your Majesty? the maid bowed as a sign of respect.

"Anything that will make me feel better" she replied in a low tone.

The maid could see that the gaze in her eyes was burning with rage, and she was going to engulf the palace on fire if they took her lightly.

"Wow, the queen is so really cute on putting on a great show," the other maids whispered among themselves.

"This pack is something else which makes me sick," she told her maid.

"You have to be strong, as there is no one better off than you," she advised her.

The Queen had a confused expression on her face; her eyes were weary, and tears were streaming down her cheeks as she recounted her days would be hell in the pack with the ruthless alpha with no sympathy for her.

She was trapped in the mighty chamber into a marriage she never sought with responsibilities that hung over her head

Her maids brought her food, which was made up of different delicacies, and her tummy groaned hard at the sight of the food.

Her maids tasted every bit of the food to check if dangers were looming in the food and would compromise her health now.

"You can eat now," the head maid told her

and the maids excused themselves.

She devoured the food like a hungry lion and every bit of the food was delicious but not as hers.

The meat was smooth which was tender as she ate the meal.

After eating the meal, she made up her mind to see the alpha at all costs as nothing would stop her from making her decision before him.

She then stood up and walked majestically towards the exit and Nora bowed her head.

"Your majesty may I ask where you are going ?" she said.

"To see the alpha who made me crazy, making me live an uncomfortable life," she replied.

Looking at Nora, she decided to take a risk and pave the way for her freedom despite everything.

The Queen remained adamant, and she went to the alpha quarters, and he was shocked to see her.

Your majesty! All the servants echoed and bowed their heads as she walked with grace to the throne where the ruthless alpha sat.

She looked at him with disdain and fear gripped her because he could do the unthinkable.

"My lady, how are you doing I hope you had a wonderful day," he said.

She laughed and nodded.

" I had a great time thanks to the confinement in which the stupidity has come over you and is driving you nuts" she shouted.

"You placed the queen under confinement for what reason? No matter what happened, you have no right to do that as you have no absolute power to be doing these things to me," she said amidst tears.

"I wonder why people think highly of you as you don't think well, locking me up because you are insecure," she queried, and her voice was soft and gentle as a dove.

"I am protecting you, yet you seem ungrateful as you don't know how far your friend was going to sell you and gain a lot, and I wanted to protect you with everything I have, which hurt your feelings.

"I refuse to believe you as my friend can't do that because this is a setup because you forced her into it," she said with anger cloaking her voice.

Bring him in, Damien ordered, and immediately Olivia saw him. She knew Damien was speaking the truth.

"Emily said you were a thorn in her flesh, and she wanted to keep you away from gaining supremacy and sovereignty of the pack at all costs," he explained.

Emily was the person behind the mask, the opposite of what she seemed to be, but Olivia found it hard to believe Emily was deceptive.

The new information means something because Emily was now a betrayal, her sworn enemy, and this was too much for her to bear.

The man before them was a ploy by Emily to sell her off to a distant land and Damien had heard their discussions in which he was determined to get her by all means.

"I am not caging you, but I just did that to protect you as I implore you to stay by my side as I will protect you no matter what," he said to her with honesty.

Olivia now understood everything as things were turned upside down and she needed leads to get the truth of the matter.

"I am sorry for judging you that way, as I had no idea that you were my savior, but I can't comprehend this new information," she said amidst tears, and he wiped her cheeks, comforting her.

He could see that she was feeling pain but he was determined to stand by her no matter what.

He then made her feel calm as he wanted her to be okay because he couldn't stand back and watch if anything happened to her.

Olivia now understood that he was protecting her, and she felt bad for hating me, and she vowed within herself to protect him with all she had.

The enforcer Rylan, who was on edge with the alpha's trusted aide, smiled at himself going to get his niece to be the queen of the heavenly pack and drag Olivia down as he was going to take over the kingdom.

With the kingdom in his hands, he was going to be overseeing all the decisions in the land.

He wanted his daughter to be the queen because once she becomes the queen, he will gain hands on the treasure, and the curse on his daughter will be lifted.

"I am not a tyrant, but I'm doing all these to protect my loved ones and protect the pack," he told her.

She cried as he told her, and her brain processed the new information.

She wished that the ground would swallow her up because she behaved rudely to someone who managed to save her on the brink of death.

"You are my queen, and you will always be." he professed his feelings to her, and she was shocked.

Never had she been in love with another kind, but she was human, but this can't be happening.

She thought it was a dream, but alas, it was a reality she had to face.

Emily looked at herself in the mirror, and she kissed his forehead, and he melted with her action.

He loved her dearly, and he wished she could spend the rest of the day with him, but she had some important matters to attend to.

As she passed through the door, she saw Rylan and walked past him.

The alpha called for a meeting with the queen in attendance.

All the ministers entered, and he officially introduced the queen to his officials, and they praised her.

Her eyes shone brightly like the blue deep ocean, and she saw Rylan was anxious about her identity as the queen.

" I don't think it's appropriate for you to have a stranger as your queen and sit on the throne because she has no regard for us," Rylan said.

"I think you should marry Evelyn, who is known for her prowess, as she could help you lead the pack to a better place he suggested, and everyone was stunned.

Evelyn was his niece and h, and he wanted to get her married to the alpha by all means but t, but the alpha didn't utter a word instead, and he gave a long sigh.

" You are just blabbing when I just got married recently and you are suggesting another thing?" he asked Rylan.

You are stopping so low and questioning my decision and having no regard for who I am, " the alpha said.

He was disappointed because Rylan was questioning his decision, and Rylan was now wanting to use that to his advantage, and he would not allow that to happen no matter what

Olivia then looked at him and coughed and all eyes were fixed on her.

She removed the mask that was cloaking her face and recognized her instantly.

They saw a mark on her skin, and that mark was a promise made between Evelyn and Olivia.

They were shocked because they had been looking for the girl with the mark because she had a strong will but how come?

This question raised eyebrows and they felt silent after learning Olivia's explanation about everything.

"I want to protect Evelyn from the treachery you are going to put her and manipulate her after you did such with your relatives marrying them off against their wishes and spreading unspeakable rumors about them" Olivia said and he was shocked that he was trapped in the clutches of Olivia.

She was determined to protect everyone and she executed her plans to perfection without no one detecting and the ministers commended her efforts of shedding light into the issue as they had divided opinions about the issue.

"You dare to undermine the authority of the alpha as I don't know how small you are you are despicable and desperate as you are destructive as you threaten the lives of others " Olivia continued.

"I leave the final verdict to the alpha"Olivia said and all the officials were stunned with the new information.

The alpha looked at the ministers and they concluded that the queen was right and not just an ordinary queen but incredibly strong.

"I give my verdict that he should be placed under confinement and work in stables as he is to forfeit all his properties with immediate effect" the alpha said and the ministers all left the hall leaving the queen and the alpha alone.

The ministers were wondering how the queen came up and dig so much information in a niche of time and was able to solve the issue in which they all agreed she was competent and worthy of ruling.

Evelyn came and was grateful to Olivia for saving her life but Olivia reminded her that it was due to her help five years ago when Olivia was about to get killed she saved her when she was almost nearing her end and Olivia laughed.

Evelyn was happy to be freed from her uncle clutches as they had a good time together catching up with the past.

Rylan was embarrassed and embittered about his failed attempt but vows to seek revenge and overthrow the alpha at all costs because his life was a living hell for him and he suffered humiliation he had never faced before.
