Chapter 12: An unexpected 'guest'

Nehora walked through the hallway to her room to rest for the night. The walls of the hallway had portraits of some important people, possibly previous rulers or nobles and beautiful paintings. She had not noticed them as she was too focused arriving at the conference room.

As she arrived to her room, about to open the door. She paused, grasping the doorknob in her one hand. She sensed someone's presence in her room. Her eyes narrowed in thought, she was on guard.' Hestia, do you also sense it too?'

'Yea, who dares to enter our room?'

Nehora wanted to confirm she wasn't the only one sensing the presence. She then opened the door slowly without hesitation and saw an unexpected, uninvited 'guest' sitting on her bed, crossed legs with a relaxed composure as if this was her room. She was a beautiful lady with a blonde hair and green eyes which shone like gems, and it was Adelda, wearing her white dress.

She was checking out her nails before she lazily turned her attention at Nehora as if she was an unimportant person, who was waiting at the opened door, glaring at Adelda with emotionless eyes. Adelda smiled warmly at her, it looked genuine, but Nehora knew it was just fake." Well, aren't you going to close the door or are you comfortable with, standing there like an idiot?" Adelda uttered in a commanding voice.

Nehora's eye twitched in annoys, how dare someone as weak as her command Nehora, but she breathed out a sigh before closing the door behind her. She walked up to Adelda with crossed arms," Get out of my room. For your information, it is considered rude to enter someone's room or anywhere without permission or consent, you know?"

Adelda stopped smiling, glaring at Nehora with killing intent in her eyes which didn't even frighten Nehora was staring at her back," l only came here to tell these words, stay away from Alaric. l know he is your mate, but he is mine."

"Oh, is this about the mate thingy? However, why should l stay away from him? Isn't he my mate or is he yours? This is indeed surprising." Nehora inquired after all Lycans are known to stay loyal to their one and only mate, they will even wait for their mate, but in this case it was peculiar as Adelda and Alaric were definitely not mates.

" Yo...you ask too many questions."

"You are the one who came to my room and did you expect l won't be asking questions? Secondly, I don't think you love Alaric, just like that. You want something from him, don't you?" Nehora inquired getting to the point. Nehora knew if someone loved another for example her parents.

Adelda was surprised by Nehora's last words, but she in the other hand didn't plan to answer her questions and did what she came here for. If Nehora didn't follow her words then she will mostly likely kill her like she did with him...

Adelda stood up from the bed, walking to the door, passing by Nehora. However, Nehora won't let her go just like that. She grabbed Adelda's arm who turned to look at Nehora in anger," Let go of me, you PEASANT!" Adelda shouted out her words.

But it only made Nehora tighten her grip on her arm, having Adelda wince in pain." Now, talk or else..."

"Talk about what, huh?" Adelda uttered while trying to free herself from her grip.

" Very well then, l will make you talk..." Nehora uttered in a whisper, her eyes closed. She let go of her hand and quickly gripped Adelda by the neck lifting her up tightly and opened her eyelids while saying with her eyes now glowing with gold light," Speak the truth in my presence."

" Ye...yes, my lady..." Adelda barely uttered, her eyes now faintly glowed gold light, which meant she was now being controlled by Nehora. This was one of her abilities, The Eyes Of The Truth. This ability could have anyone tell the truth and could control them. Nehora threw her down roughly, having her fall badly, but she got up as if nothing happened.

" First question. Why are you with my mate?"

"l only desire to be the queen of this kingdom so no one will look down on me ever and l can only achieve that by pretending to love him, my lady." Adelda uttered with a huge manically smile plastered on a face.

" Second question. Do you have a mate?"

"Yes my lady, but to be more accurate l 'had' a mate."

"What do you mean by 'had'?" Nehora stared skeptical and didn't want to believe the reason of her saying that.

"Well, what else do l mean? l have killed him in a most unjoyful way." Adelda looked at her like she was silly and giggled as if it was the funniest thing in the world.

"Wait...why did you kill him?" Nehora uttered, looking at her with cold eyes.

"He was useless and was not powerful as my noble family. He was just a tailor worker and when l found out l was mated to him, even my father agreed he was trash so l-" she said with disgusted face and moved her thumb horizontally on her neck, gesturing for a kill. Nehora stared at the hypnotized Adelda with a disgusted face.

'She killed her own mate. Is she insane? Doesn't she know she has weaken her wolf form as punishment from the goddess.This can be seen as treason.' Nehora thought.

She shook her head and stared deep in Adelda's eyes," You will now forget this moment. Only remember the time when you are about to go out. l never grip your arm and all that.You walked out of my room after telling to stay away from Alaric,okay? Remember that."

"Yes, my lady." Adelda bowed down before going out of Nehora's room.

Nehora breathed out,went to her bed where there were suitcases. She took out her night dress, which was a transparent navy dress and wore it. She placed her suitcases down,away from her bed and lied down, tired.

'Aren't you going to kill her for what she has done. That two faced b*tch, acting like angel and then the next she find out she is a pyschonic, vicious witch.' Hestia uttered growling.

'Ow, you are giving me a headache. l am honestly tired so can you please keep it down.' Nehora said with a yawn.

'Keep it down,why should l? Can't you see l'm angry. Hey, Nehora hey!*sighs* Is she really asleep?' Hestia said annoyed, but Nehora was fast asleep.

' l will deal with you tomorrow,humph.'
