Betrayals - The Future Queen of Werewolves (Book 1)

Wolf

Lincoln POV.

Looking up shame still rippling across my body I glance at the King looking at Lilah admiration clear on his face.

Suddenly someone rushes up behind her, without looking away from the King her arm shoots out and grabs onto Shannon's neck. Raising her eyebrows at the King slightly before turning round to look at Shannon's surprised face. "Now now Shannon, did no one tell you it is dishonourable to attack someone who has their back turned unless in combat?" She asks.

"How...how are you? You have no wolf...you're a worthless Omega. What spells have you done to be like this?" Shannon gasps at Lilah, her face turning more and more red.

"No wolf? Let me ask you Shannon, when have I ever said I have no wolf?" Lilah asks c*****g her head at Shannon.

"You dare question me Omega? You did not shift at 14, you still have not" Shannon tries to exclaim indignantly.

My insides start to turn as I realise how very wrong we have all been about Lilah. Trying to stand up I realise Knight has retreated out of shame, with no strength I look to my father to see him looking at Lilah in fear.

"What is this Lilah? I did wonder when they said before about being wolfless...explain?" The King says calmly.

"It's self-explanatory King, I did not shift at 14 so they have never seen my wolf." Lilah chuckles.

"Ah I see" the King says.

"However just because they have not seen me shift does not mean I have no wolf" Lilah starts, suddenly claws begin to elongate and dig into Shannon's neck as drops of blood drip down onto her top, her eyes turning a mixture of silver and green as her wolf moves to the forefront. "They have greatly underestimated us my King, which makes this all the more fun" Lilah says in a lower voice. Realising it is her wolf speaking the crowd gasps in shock.

"Clearly" the King says, "well let us inform them shall we. Lilah here is the earliest ever recorded shift of the werewolf kind. She shifted aged 2." He states proudly puffing out his chest. The pack all shift uncertainly at this news as they realise she has been a hidden gem all along within the pack. "Go ahead my child, show them."

Throwing a quick grin up at the King she stalks to the front of the steps still holding Shannon in the air she throws her down beside me, Shannon's body lands with a powerful thump knocking her out cold. "I am Princess Lilah of the Royal Pack, daughter of King Sebastian, future Queen of werewolves." She states loud and clear letting her powerful Royal Aura out everyone around is forced to bow and bare their necks in submission, "for those who have doubted me, shamed me, hurt me I pity you. For these coming days will not be easy on you." With a gleam in her eyes she suddenly shifts into a magnificent 7ft pure white wolf, with a small blue star around her right eye to show royalty she stands regally looking down upon everyone. Then within a blink of an eye she shifts back, standing proud with the slight breeze blowing her hair she says "I have powers that even I don't know the capability of, when I turn 18 in 9 days they will increase tenfold. I am a purebred Royal who has lived as a shamed Omega for the last 5 years to understand the ways of packs from the inside without their need to flaunt or lie when Royalty visits. You have no idea what I have witnessed however I was to be your Luna, Lincoln here ruined that. I will endeavour to strengthen the Emerald Green pack for the next 30 days alongside Warrior Liam who will be arriving tomorrow. I do however have one thing left to do. Alpha Johnson, Luna Maria come here." She commands.

Hearing the whispers all around me, shock at her ability to shift and remain fully clothed - the only one able to. Shock at her power and strength, embarrassment at how she has been treated amongst the pack. It all comes flooding through the pack mindlink giving me an excruciating pain behind my eyes.

Looking back at the top of the steps I see my parents pushed in front of her and the King, their fear evident on their faces.

"You have been allowed to lead for too long, I know of your lies, of your deceit to the King which he has been all too aware of due to my reports throughout the years. You have no respect for those within your pack, you bring shame upon the Emerald Green Pack. I, Princess Lilah, herby strip you Alpha Johnson and you Luna Maria of your titles, from this day forth you will be no higher ranked than the Omegas alongside you. However, unlike the other Omegas you shall be treated exactly how I was throughout my stay here. Everyone else will be treated with the respect they always should have had, no one talks down to anyone. Training will be compulsory to everyone and will be scheduled once I have met with warrior Liam and produced a plan for the following 30 days."

My parents fall to the floor in shame. "Now guards, escort these two to the cells, I do believe the King ordered two days to begin immediately. Also I do believe those two down there on the floor may need some medical assistance, ensure they are taken to the infirmary immediately." Turning to the King she smiles warmly, "now daddy, I'm hungry...fancy some lunch?" She chuckles.

Slipping his arm through hers he says "you are amazing, I am proud to call you my daughter. Now..let's eat!"

As they walk inside the packhouse I turn my gaze upon the rest of the pack who are all looking at me in shame. Beta James walks forwards and grasps my arms, harshly lifting me to my feet he tells a warrior to pick up Shannon. "Let's take these two to the infirmary as instructed." He says quietly avoiding my gaze.

Hanging my head in embarrassment I try to call to Knight only to be met with a solid wall. Sighing internally I realise for the first time in 4 years I am alone in my body.
