Chapter Nine
“I want to say something.” Finally, the heavy silence that cross the room was taken away by the furious voice of prince Liam, from his expression everone could see how angry he was.
“What do you have to say, please mention it to the King and to the entire people sitted here.” The seer replied.
“I which to object that the Lycan prince, prince Aiden takes my bride. I know she hasn’t been marked yet, but I wish to stop him from doing so, being that I met Chloe first and she belongs to me, she is mine.”
His voice was raised this time and for a second, maybe he forgot that the Lycan family were more powerful and he doesn’t have the right to speak back.
First, Chloe was astonished that he actually called her his bride, from the very first moment she had met Liam till now, he has never called her anything close to him, all he knew was to bad mouth her and that is why it felt really strange to hear him say she is his bride.
“First of all you don’t say that a full wolf who has control of her mind and can walk around belongs to you, she is not your property, just because she was supposed to be your mate doesn’t make her your property or any less of someone who can make her own decision, so you change that narrative of calling her yours.”
This time prince Aiden could no longer condone the indency that breeds from Liam’s mouth, so he goes all out to him and Liam begins to feel scared.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“I don’t see her as someone who cannot make her own decision, my prince. But she is supposed to be my bride and just because I haven’t marked her yet doesn’t make her readily available for any man.”
At this point, Liam was more concerned about making sure prince Aiden doesn’t come forth with actually taking Chloe away from him, but what was he scared of? He was the one who rejected her but now he wants to struggle with a Lycan prince.
“Now I want you to shut up!!!” The Lycan King commanded, his voice sent shivers down Liam’s spine and he sat down like he was being controlled by an external force or something.
“My son is not an indecent fellow and I know he would never take what doesn’t belong to him, for God’s sake he is more responsible than that, for your bride or supposed mate to match up with my son, then it obviously mean you haven’t marked and claimed your mate yet and you haven’t even proposed to her, so as far as we all know, any other man can go ahead and do that before you do.”
The king patted his staff slowly and kept his eyes on Liam without moving it a bit before he continued.
“Now, if you are not willing to claim the girl, Chloe. Then my son would do that, because they match up, that is the final decision that I have made and that is what will stand.”
Liam was furious, that has been his mood since Emily announced where she saw Chloe, for a moment it was surprising even to Chloe. He only wanted her to come and act as his mate just so the Lycans will be impressed but now, he is trying to put her in a difficult situation of having to choose between them, first she has always loved Liam so much and would be so excited if he decides to take her back and accept her as his mate, but on the other hand, he is very rude to her and always finds her way to treat her badly.
She is just meeting Aiden for the first time and he isn’t all bad but isn’t that how everyone behaves lately? Pretend to be good for the first time, what if he turns out to be even more worst than Liam who showed himself even on the first day, but the comfort she felt around Aiden was unexplainable, she felt like nothing could ever harm her with Aiden’s presence around her.
Not too long, the whole place died out in silence, everyone was trying to process the whole drama and work it under control but it wasn’t working, the faces that stared in the ceremony was full of anger, pains, and confusion.
“I wish to mark and claim Chloe too, I am interested in her, I showed that first anyway, but now I am saying it before everyone else and I say I am interested in marking and claiming Chloe as my own.”
Liam wasn’t sure what he was thinking, but for a reason that was best known to him alone, he wanted to prove something by standing in the way of Prince Aiden.
Emily couldn’t stand it anymore as the drama continued in fast folds before her very eyes, for a moment she thought she had won over Liam’s heart but here he is dying all over a again for the same Chloe he had rejected and didn’t want anything to do with, she continued to tickle the edge of her dress as drops of rapid sweat begin to fall down her face, her heart turned around and small bits of tears already started forming around the corner of his eyes.
“What is Liam trying to prove by doing all of these things right now, I came all the way here for him, only for him to come around and start struggling that witch girl with Prince Aiden, why don’t he just let her go?”
Emily continued in her thoughts, cursing and wishing Liam will just stop of all the things he’s doing, her eyes kept tears in them but she held them tightly and refused to let it out.
“You will never, I repeat you will never touch Chloe, I would never let you have anything to do with her, just stay clear and off from her, do you hear?”
Aiden fired out in a fit of rage, obviously angry at what Liam had said, the drama was already becoming too much with the two princes and now it has gotten worse when Aiden stands up to Liam.
