Chapter 506
Cherry was not one to be caught off guard.
But she had been so lost in thought that when the figure looming in the dark waiting for her had grabbed and hauled her into the dark closet, she hadn’t expected it.
The door was shut quickly and before she could attack her assailant revealed his face.
It was none other than Roland.
“Sweet goddess.” Cherry said, relieved that she hadn’t used dark magic on him. “I could have killed you.”
Her chest was heaving up and down so rapidly she thought her heart would pop out.
“You barely have any powers.” He leered at her. “You can’t even shift so what would you have done.”
That was true.
Ever since she had sat on the throne and been rejected by the crown and had her hair change to black, she had lost her wolf powers too.
She couldn’t shift anymore.
One of the many unfortunate things that had made her a bitter woman.
But she had learned to use dark magic from Marie and that was one thing a good number of people had no idea about.
She intended to keep it that way.
She gave him a coy smile.
Roland was always so handsome.
Even now with the streaks of grey hair in his blond hair, he was more handsome.
“If you wanted to see me in secret you could have just let me know.” She smiled.
His eyes shown like fire. “I have no interest in doing such with you.”
She rose a brow. “Come on Roland. My body is much much appeasing that my sister’s.”
She reached out massage his beard and he caught her wrist before she even had the chance to.
“You’re a filthy whore.” He spat and then he pushed her hand away. “Your sister is going to find you for who you are.”
“Till then.” She said rubbing the bruise he had left.
“I’m here to warn you Cherry.” He stated. “I know it can only be you spinning these story of a grandchild that never existed to my wife.”
“It was bad enough she was hallucinating ah already daughter and now you want to further push her off the bridge by spinning tales of a grandchild?” He demanded in anger.
“I am flattered to know that yoy tnink my sister listens to me.” Cherry informed. “But I’m the last person to tell her such lies.”
It was utterly ridiculous that he thought she was the one making Rose run after her missing grandchild.
How could she do such a thing when it prevented her from taking her seat as Queen of the entire wolf world.
If she got her hands on whoever it was telling her these stories, she would kill them.
“All you do is lie.” Roland spat.
“I’m a liar. But this is not one of my lies.” She said truthfully.
“I’m warning you.” He said. “Stay away from my wife.”
“What wife?” She asked him. “When was the last time you were fucked good? Hmmm? Your wife doesn’t even care about you. She is off chasing ghosts, neglecting you and the entire kingdom. When will the truth reveal itself Roland?”
“Do you know what people are saying? Talking about how she is a mad Queen.” Cherry said. “All she spoke about was her missing daughter and now somehow hee missing daughter had a baby. Ghost grandchildren. Your wife is a joke.”
Roland said nothing.
Simply stared away.
“You were my mate.” Cherry said. “Before you were made to reject me and take my sister as yours. I would always be the one for you.”
She tried to touch him again and he caught her so quickly his claws already revealed itself.
“This is a warning. Stay away from my wife.” He warned her.
And then he pushed himself out of the enclosed closet and stormed off.
Cherry took in a heavy sigh once he was gone.
Before she stepped out of the closet and headed down the hallway.
She got to Coral’s bedroom and found her niece working on some scrolls.
“We need to speak.” Cherry said as she shut the door instantly. Some guards who were with Coral remained and she had to add. “Alone.”
Then they left the room.
Coral put down her quill.
“I was just going over some mapping of the old pack territories.” Coral said.
“Your mother is inviting Jasmine here.” Cherry said quickly.
Coral frowned. “What for?”
“I don’t bloody know? Says she hasn’t seen them since Bale was killed and the assassination. Some unreasonable things.” Cherry said running her brows.
“She has seen Jasmine before. Why is this going to be any different?” Coral shrugged.
“How stupid can you be?” Cherry hissed in disgust. “The last time your mother saw Jasmine, she was looking for her missing daughter. Now she is looking for her missing grand daughter. Who is supposed to be within the same age as Jasmine. What does that tell you?!”
Coral went tight lipped. “Mother might assume Jasmine is her grand daughter.”
“Exactly.” Cherry nodded. “And if she finds out. It’s the end. Everything we worked for will fall apart. It would have been for nothing. We can’t risk this.”
“So what do you think we should do?” Coral asked now fidgetting.
“Let me think!” Cherry hissed.
She really disliked Coral!
Could barely think for herself!
Once she ascended the throne she was going to do away with her once and for all.
Cherry massaged her chin.
“They would be here in two weeks.” Cherry said more to herself than to Coral.
“Do you think there is perhaps a way we could kill Jasmine and prevent her from finding her way here. Or kidnap her?” Coral asked.
“We have done almost everything to get rid of that tramp. It’s almost impossible!” Cherry snapped.
Coral itched her hair in worry.
“If only we could turn her to our side.” Coral said deep in thought. “We would have used her to our advantage and made it easier for us. But that Jasmine girl will never agree
And it finally clicked to Cherry.
“But what if we get her to be on our side?” Cherry said and then turned to Coral. “Coral you are a genius.”
