Mated To Alpha Gregory

Lilith’s POV;

“It’s been a while, Cas.”

Her mouth hung open, her eyes boring straight into mine.

“You..”

“You didn’t take etiquette classes? You don’t know how to greet?”

Her very full lips, which looked like they’d been implanted with silicon, curled up into an ugly frown.

“Why are you here and why … . never mind that. I’ll take it up with my maids.”

She was still in a daze as she stared at me, probably surprised at my sudden change in attitude.

“How is Raider? Still foolish as always?” I glanced at the mirror and looked away quickly, a bit disappointed that I couldn’t get to ask the questions I had in mind to ask. She had already gone.

I had no idea how to contact her if I had anything to ask, but since she had appeared to me via a mirror twice, then it was the way to also summon her.

“I’m sorry I missed your wedding. It would’ve been nice to see trash getting married to trash,” I walked towards the plush sofa and plopped onto it.

“Why are you here, Cassandra? You couldn’t greet your queen. I should tell the guards to show you how to.”

She gasped with disbelief. “You…you…you really changed.”

That answered my question. There were spies in the mansion, and they had probably told her that I had been sick and had now woken up as a changed person.

“Oh. I didn’t. If I had really changed, I’d have ordered the guards to throw you out of here a long time ago.”

Seeing her brought back my pent-up emotions and I clenched my fist tightly. I was going to get my revenge, but for now, I had to play it cool. It’ll only get worse if I act rashly.

Her lips parted, but no words came out. I could see her struggling to come up with what to say.

I already had a mental note of whom I wanted vengeance on, and she was a part of them.

“I came to see you. I heard you were on your deathbed,” she finally said, her eyes directed away from mine.

“Oh, you heard from whom? I’m really curious to know who went to meet my enemy.”

She gasped and chuckled slightly, sitting on the edge of the bed, directly opposite mine.

“Your enemy? Lilith, you must have really been near death.”

“Lilith,” a deep sigh expelled from my lips. I had already made peace that nothing would bring back my parents or change what they had done to me, but there really was no way I was going to let her go like that.

“Why are you here, Cassandra?”

Her eyes bored into mine. “You might think you’re something because you’re a Queen now. But to me, you will forever be my slave.”

I clenched my fist to my side and swallowed hard. I was breathing heavily now and my fist tightened, and my fingers pressed into my palm and I feared that it was going to draw blood.

“You will bow before me as your Queen, now!”

There was silence for a while, then she burst out laughing.

“Why did you change so much? It was better when you were so…”

“Bow, Cassandra.”

I walked towards the door, not knowing the names of the maids and not wanting to say anything.

“Get in here,” I said to the guards, just as I opened the door.

“What are you doing?” She stood up, and I could see the fear beneath her expressionless face.

“Throw her into the dungeons.”

I smiled widely, peering into her face. “A few days in there would help you reflect on your crimes.”

“Let me go!” She screamed, trying to free herself from their grasp.

“Let me fucking go! Do you think doing this will make me regard you as a queen? Let me go!”

“Take her away. This noise is disturbing!” I glanced at her sweetly again.

“Oh, and make sure to feed her well. I heard she came to see me.”

“You think Raider will let this slide? My father will…” She was still ranting before the guards dragged her away.

I bolted the door as soon as everyone left and walked quickly to the mirror.

“Goddess!” I said softly and waited for a while. There was no response.

“Goddess.”

“Please, I want to talk to you.”

There was a knock on the door and I groaned. I really didn’t want to see anyone.

“goddess!”

“Your Highness,” the person by the door called, and I sighed deeply, taking one last look in a mirror before walking to the door.

“Ben,” I opened the door to allow him entry, a small smile on my face.

“You were having a nap?” His eyes looked as though they were searching for something before sitting on the sofa.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I sat on the edge of the bed. “What have I missed for the one-week plus that I’ve been away?”

He chuckled. “Not a lot. The mansion was in turmoil, we were all praying for your quick recovery.”

I studied his features, noting how there was a certain sadness hidden under his smile.

“I heard that it was a rare type of poison. I wonder why someone would want to poison you.”

“Not a lot of people like me. You know, being an Omega and the fact that my parents were labeled as traitors, a fact I intend to change,” I stood up and walked to the window.

“I’m going to have my vengeance and I’m going to prove my parent’s innocence.”

“That is… very interesting. Let me help you do that,” he offered, and I turned around to look at him sharply.

“Thank you. But I want to do this on my own. In the meantime, I want you to keep an eye on Maya and the king.”

The goddess had told me that I would be able to differentiate between my friends and my foes. Considering what I had heard from Julia a few weeks ago and the fact that Ben was the one that had planted the idea of them being together with me.

I hadn’t heard from her since her father came to collect her the day before.

“Don’t worry about a thing, My Queen,” he promised, and I smiled. I already had a plan, and he had to be a part of it.

“Oh. I know. I forgot to inform you. I had Cassandra Haines arrested this morning.”

I saw the look of sheer joy on his face before it was replaced by a small smile. It was the most real smile I had ever seen on his face.

“How, you? What happened?”

“She came here and disrespected me. She should be glad that I didn’t really punish her.” I studied his face.

There was something I wanted to find out. Adams had told me about the Council’s plan to dethrone me but had assured me that he wasn’t going to allow them. Apparently, it was his brother’s plan and he suspected Ben.

Arresting Cassandra was going to definitely cause a stir between both the Green Forest pack and the Silver Crest pack with the Black Hound pack and turmoil between Adams and the Council, as well as an opportunity for the brothers to take the throne.

I knew that and wanted to get a reaction out of him. Just as I had suspected, he was happy about that fact, knowing its repercussions.

“I’m glad you’re doing this! You seem like a real Queen now!”

“But Adams spoke about the council trying to dethrone me,” I informed him.

“Nothing will happen, trust me,” he grinned widely, his eyes gleaming brightly.

I smiled, finally confirming everything I needed to know.
