Chapter Ten
“Make one more step towards Chloe or speak another word about claiming her and I will expose your entire existence to this very crowd and you will be astonished.”
Aiden stood on his feet and walked closer to Liam, facing him now and speaking directly to his face.
“What are you even talking about, Prince Aiden. I haven’t done anything that needs to be exposed to anyone, you have nothing against me, my prince.” Liam fired back.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“A lot has been going on in this Royal palace and the pack as a whole, but that is absolutely none of my business. I just want this prince of the creakstone to stay clear from Chloe and leave her alone, if you ever wanted her, you would have had her to yourself if she ever meant anything to you.”
The argument was now heated and the two men continued lashing words at each other to the bewilderment of the crowd, what forms the courage between Liam’s heart to stand up to the Lycan King like this.
“Your highness, please talk to Liam, hold him back, tell him to stop battering words with Aiden, he is only going to spoil our relationship with them, please stop him, he can’t be doing this for that Chloe girl.”
The Queen Luna mentioned to the ears of the Alpha, she was becoming really scared and unsure about Liam’s decision to stand up to Prince Aiden, claiming the same Chloe he once rejected.
“Let him be, he sure has a good plan up his sleeve, besides, we won’t let the Lycans come into our pack and rub sad mud on our faces, it’s a shame to us, the Chloe girl was supposed to be for my son today, it’s a wrong thing for Aiden to expose this whole thing today.”
The Alpha replied with a smirk on his face, he was certainly not disappointed at what prince Liam was saying rather he felt his son was defending the creakstone pack and the Royal family.
“I am going to tell all of you what I have seen here today, raging from prince Liam and what he has been doing with the woman he claims is his and he wants to mark her all of a sudden because I have chosen her.”
This time, prince Aiden was bent on exposing Liam to the entire crowd settled in the hall, Chloe couldn’t do anything as she sat there with her hands tightening the gown she had on, her head was definitely throbbing and she could feel the heavy migraine that rested in her head. for all, she was sure confused and speechless as the drama continued to unfold bits by bits, she kept turning her head from one side to the other getting stares and trying to read expressions on the faces of each and everyone.
“Prince Liam is a woman hater and a liar, just few minutes outside of the pack, I merely saved Chloe from his evil hands. You all can ask her if she’s willing to tell you the truth. He was yelling at her and before that, he sent his guards, dirty servants to drag her, not to call or summon her but to drag her with disrespect to a hall where the entire Royal family lashed out on her then he dragged her out only to insult her some more and he even wanted to hit the lady but I held his hands and stopped him, if not he would have raised his hands to her_____ Now, everyone of you tell me, will you allow such a man get married to a pretty young and innocent lady as Chloe, would you hand her over to a man who cannot even control his tongue neither his temper? No one deserves to be with him.”
Aiden was very angry now, his pale blue eyes darkened and he wouldn’t stop turning at every chance he got to stare deeply at Chloe as if he was searching for something lost in her eyes.
Everyone in the hall became angry at the creakstone pack for treating Chloe in the way which they did. There was serious murmur and noise in the hall now, the people didn’t relent in being displeased with Prince Liam’s attitude and that of the Royal family and the entire Creakstone pack, it became pure subject as everyone was arguing at the top of their voices.
The seer saw the turmoil that was created in the hall and if no one did anything to stop it, it will get too bad and out of control, but what could be done now, the people were already angry, disappointed and for a moment, the truth which Aiden had revealed in the hall was a determinant for how the creakstone pack would hold their respect.
Liam was officially thrown off balance, there was nothing he could say to defend himself, he was defeated by the truth revealed by Prince Aiden, he quietly went to his sit without another word, he couldn’t even look his parents or Emily in the eyes, what he was trying to defend had become a source of shame to all of them and he had no explanations for his actions.
“Listen up everyone! Please listen up!” The seer continued shouting into the already loud microphone, no one wanted to give their attention, the personal argument of who was right and wrong seemed more important to them than any speech the seer had to render to their ears.
It took about 15 minutes to final get the attention of everyone in the hall and the silence became maintained once more but not in the hearts of all the people, they carried on the matter in their hearts and kept on their argument.
“A lot has happened on what was supposed to be a red moon rising celebration, it is quite sad for all of us, that all these truth had to be revealed here today, but to solve of all these issues, the young lady has to be placed on a choice.”
Chloe widened her eyes and shocked at the seer’s decision. She sure wasn’t ready for any choice making.
