Chapter 23 Once I am out of his office I look at my hands. After I removed my fingers from the palm of my hand I see blood start to bubble. It heals in no time but I still sigh and head to the kitchen. There is a normal size kitchen for anybody to use and there is the big kitchen where the cooks make all the meals, of course I go to the normal kitchen. I walk to the cupboard and grab my hidden whiskey. I learned to keep some hidden throughout the castle so that I don't have to go back to my room to get some. I had a warlock who owes me multiple favors put a spell on it. Basically it is so strong that after three drinks you are feeling good. Which is not normal for a werewolf. I pour a glass and down it. Then pour another one. When I feel pain start to go through me I down that one and pour another one and lay it on the counter while I grip the edge of the counter top. "Ace! There you are I have been looking everywhere for you." I look up to see my sister walking through the kitchen doors. "Maleena? What are you doing here?" I ask trying to mask the pain I feel. At least I have a high pain tolerance. "Luna sent me with your computer." She says looking around the kitchen. "Why aren't you in school? She could have had somebody else bring it." I say. "Well I was on my way here anyway. Dad was supposed to call and tell you." She says confused. "I haven't talked to dad since the ball." I say. She looks down at my hands gripping the counter then to my drink glass. "Whiskey. I'll take some." She says as she sits on the edge of the counter looking at me. "Not this you're not." I say looking at her pointedly. She grabs the glass and slowly brings it to her mouth. I reach out and take it from her, quickly downing it. It is numbing the pain a little so that is good. I go to put the glass down when I feel wave after wave of excruciating pain. I drop the glass and it shatters as I drop to the floor with it. What the hell? "LEEACA!" My sister yells and comes down to meet me. She grabs my arm as I am writhing with pain that I can only compare to someone injecting my heart with silver again and again. After about 5 minutes of laying on the floor almost seizing Maleena helps me stand. "I'm fine, Maleena." I say as I head over to the closet with the cleaning supplied. I grab the broom and dustpan and start to sweep the whiskey glass up. "You didn't look fine. What was that? Do you always get them?" She asks worriedly. "It was the effect of an unfaithful mate. Normally they aren't that bad." I say trying to brush it off. I throw the glass away and start heading towards the main stairs to go to my room. "I guess I know why it was that bad." I hear Maleena say behind me. I look up to see three women walking down with slu*ty outfits on. I keep walking up the stairs and the first two pass me. The last woman shoulder checks me so hard I stumble down the stairs. It doesn't help that I have had three drinks and my body feels like it was hit by a semi truck. I can feel her hatred and jealousy and just when I can reign in Fen from tearing this woman's throat out Maleena jumps in. "Hey Tramp, watch where you're walking! You just ran into your Luna!" Maleena yells. I see the front doors open to reveal Markus and the Gamma walking in probably from training. "She isn't MY Luna. She doesn't even share the King's bed." The b*tch says smugly, glancing back at me. "And I would watch who you are talking to, little girl. Because at the rate I am going I will be Luna. And once that happens I will not hesitate to have you killed." The b*tch says threateningly to Maleena. Fen and I lose it. I grab the b*tch by her throat and pick her up, letting her dangle in the air. "You don't disrespect me and threaten my sister b*tch. I should kill you for what you've done. " I say in a deadly tone then throw her against the stairs. She smacked her head, but she doesn't seem to care. She stands up anyway. "You can't kill me, the king won't let you. I am his favorite, I will be his Queen, not you. And when that happens I will have you and your little sister here beheaded." She says full of hate. I just laugh. She is disgusting. I spit on her and went to walk up the stairs. She grabs my arm and yanks me back. I catch myself before I fall then Fen takes over and starts punching her in the face. She stumbles back and hits the stairs again. Before Fen could kill her I force back control. I take the b*tch by her hair and start dragging her up the stairs to Alarick's bedroom. She is clawing my hands but as she claws them Fen is healing it. The b*tch is screaming at me telling me to let her go. Calling me nasty names. Finally we reach the Alpha floor and I find his room. I kick in the door and throw the tramp in his room. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" He screams as he sees his playtoy's state of a bloody mess. "I told you I will not be disrespected by your wh*res. Fix it now." I say in a deadly manner. I see Markus, Gamma Garret and Maleena run up behind me. The king looks at me then at his wh*re. "I told you the punishment for breaking the contract." He says to her. She looks up at him and starts begging. "NO! Please don't kill me. You love me! I am the one that will be queen!" She says as she starts sobbing. I see him snarl before starting. "I told you it meant nothing Larissa, I don't know why you couldn't get that through your thick skull. Larissa Bethrode from this moment you are banished from this pack and are considered rogue. Get out." He says and she gasps and starts crying. Gamma Garret came and grabbed her and started leading her out. Alarick looks at me and I nod my head and turn around to walk out. Maleena looks at the King and speaks up "How could you treat your mate like that? She is supposed to be your Queen. Not some person that you can disrespect by sleeping around and treat as nothing. Not even take into consideration you are hurting her. You should be ashamed of yourself!" "MALEENA PETROVICH! I yell. GET YOUR A*S MOVING NOW!" She turns to look at me and runs down the stairs to my room. "I will take care of it." I say looking back at Alarick then walk away. In Addicted to You movie, Audrey's biggest regret?
