A Gamma's Revenge (Zalia) novel Chapter 480

Chapter 480
Mack’s p.o.v.

I see more and more Wolves and Lycans walk into the Ballroom, a decent indication that the Queen will start her speech soon.

The main rumor of tonight is that the Queen will announce that she will step down soon and everyone wants to be there when she announces that, hoping that the future Queen will be here tonight.

Kay, Levi and I have been keeping an eye on our Mate, we are really curious about how she is going to get that poison into Elder Carlyle. I mean, Levi was with her when she poisoned Tamish’s food, but he couldn’t tell us how she did it and that means keeping a close eye on her.

Commander thinks it will be impossible for us to figure it out, she is a Royal Assassin after all. Not that it will stop me from trying to figure it out and it won’t stop Kay or Levi either.

After Elder Carlyle has introduced the Queen, she walks onto the stage and places a few papers on the stand in front of her.

“Good evening, I am glad all of you could…” She doesn’t get any further, because the video of Elder Carlyle starts and mumbles are heard all around us.

Everyone is looking at the screen and little by little the true nature of Elder Carlyle is shown, but I doubt anyone could have predicted the last part of the video. Even his Daughter seems disgusted by his behavior, because there seems to be a difference between deceiving an entire Kingdom and rape.

Don’t get me wrong, anyone that is capable of raping another is despicable and deserves a death sentence. But she deceived an entire Kingdom, acting as if she had the right to sit on that Throne and demand whatever she wanted from others. She knew about the deceit and did nothing to stop it.

The Elders have ordered Warriors to surround the Queen and Elder Carlyle, just to make sure that no one kills them.

Both of them are looking for a way out, but there isn’t and I see pure panic in both their eyes. Then that panic is replaced by something I have never seen and a moment later both of them crash to the floor.

Neither one of them responds to the Elders that try to wake them. A Doctor rushes in with a nurse right behind him and he starts shouting orders at her, but it doesn’t take long before he gets up to step away from them.

“There is nothing I can do for them at the moment, they have been poisoned and I need to find out which poison was used. Get them to the infirmary, I will inform you the second I have found something.” The Doctor says to the Elder closest to him, but everyone in the room has heard him.

I silently look at Kay and Levi, but both shake their heads. Looks like they didn’t see our Mate administer the poison to the Queen and Elder Carlyle and I am really trying to find out if I remember seeing Maleah near either one of them, but I come up blank.

We all get ordered to return to our suites and most of us have no problem with that, but there are a few that don’t want to leave the Ballroom. They still want to party or whatever might be the reason the object, but the Elders aren’t having any of it and eventually Warriors are ordered to escort the reluctant guests back to their suites.

Normally we would be leaving in the morning, but the Palace is in lock-down and we will have to stay here until the investigation here is done.

“Maybe one of should call home and tell our Fathers what is going on.” Kay says and I want to grab my phone, but Maleah stops me.

“Both our Fathers knew what was going to happen and they will look after the Pack with Zane and Xander. Harvey and Pauline will help them out in anyway they can and none of the assignments will get delayed.” Maleah says through the mind-link.

“I already send Dad a message when we were sent back to our suite.” Maleah says out loud, just in case anyone is eaves dropping on our conversation and it is followed with another blood curdling scream.

“CAN SOMEONE SHUT HIM UP?” A voice from somewhere to our left yells into the night and all Maleah does is shake her head.

We discuss Delaney’s Luna Ceremony to pass the time, but we keep away from the subject named Dominic. None of us is willing to piss off our Luna and she seems fine with our attempts to keep the conversation on the venue and colors or theme.

After another scream from Elder Carlyle, Dominic comes running onto their balcony and jumps to our balcony when he sees Delaney. She just raises her hand, the moment he tries to reach out to her.
