The Alpha King's Claim

The Alpha King’s Claim chapter 79 by desirenovel

“Leave Phanteon out of this!” I cried out. “The werewolf people have always lived a peaceful life. Yes, they may be at times savage and uncontrollable, but they respect territory. Unless provoked, they keep to themselves. They don’t interfere or pry on the matters of the other realms.”

“You sure speak exactly like their Luna, Ysanna, and this is unforgivable,” he told me, sneering.

He then turned his attention to the panel around us and pointed a hand towards me.

“Don’t you see Elders of the High Fae Court? She has done and told enough to show that she is indeed one of them! She could never be our High Priestess. She must be stripped of her powers and be sentenced to death!”

That was quick, but I had an ace up my sleeve.

“No, I demand you to listen!” I shouted, spreading a palm against my chest. “I am fae. I have the right to be heard!”

“You stop being a fae when you became the Alpha King’s whore,” he spat with glares on my way. “That mate mark on your neck speaks for itself.”

Hell, this was exactly what I didn’t want to happen. Geraden was cunning enough to use my mated status as an advantage.

I watched as the Elders exchanged glances, then they all nodded.

King Geraden was swift to turn to me with a sly grin. “You will be stripped with your right as fae and as the High Priestess, Ysanna. Your powers too.”

“How dense of you to condemn me with that basis alone. My being a queen and the king’s mate doesn’t mean that the werewolves are guilty. I am what I am. I am destined for the Alpha King. I am his true mate. You can’t go against destiny!”

“Oh I can,” he flashed me a wicked smile. “Just like how I dealt with your mother.”

My eyes turned to slits. “What do you mean?”
