Kyle's POV
Who knew flying could be so much fun. I felt like a beautiful bird, well a tiny bird as I flapped my tiny wings and navigated through people, trees, and heavy wind.
Everything appeared so big and a bit scary, I was constantly bumping into people who cheered me on by often hitting any part of their body I landed on.
Who knew that life as a mosquito could be this dangerous?
I soon got to the packhouse and contemplated where to begin my search. I decided to go through the dining room, then the stairs, but there was no sign of Bella anywhere.
So I decided I was going to check the room I was offered when I first came here. As soon as I got closer to the door, I heard Miranda's voice, it appeared she was talking with someone.
I wondered why and what she would be doing in a guest room.
“That is not possible, I did exactly what I was told to do” I heard Miranda snarled at someone from inside the room.
Her voice depicts that she was angry and feeling frustrated with what was going on or what they were talking about.
I wanted to see who this person was and know what they were talking about.
I know I am on a mission, but a little gossip won't hurt, it might even help me accomplish the mission faster. I assured myself. But the big question was how to get into the room since the door was locked.
Luckily, Marian walked in just in time to open the door, I didn't realize how much I have missed her until I saw her. She was looking her usual self, and I quickly perched on her dress before she opened the room.
“What are you doing here?” Miranda barked at her as soon as she saw Marian walk in.
“I'm sorry ma, but I was told that Alpha Richard mate was back and I thought she would be retaining this room,” Marian said in a shaky voice as she lowers her head out of terror for Miranda.
Alpha Richard, is the king dead? And who the hell made that bloody Omega an Alpha?
“So you can foolishly let her run away again? Stupid girl. Get out of this room this minute before I make you regret ever knowing me,” Miranda shouted at Mirian who was fidgeting out of fear.
I quickly flew off her dress and got comfy on the table while Marian hurried out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Poor girl.
“The oracle said that you have met with her and that you should be very careful else your end will come quicker than you anticipated,” an elderly woman that was with Miranda in the room said to her.
The woman was an elderly woman with golden locks, her clothes were made of animal skin and I could tell that she was into some sort of dark magic.
“I don't understand but I thought you people said that my little daughter would be my doom, and that is why we had to kill her years ago,” Miranda said frustratedly.
What, Miranda had a daughter? And she killed her? What sort of a mother kills her child? I wondered as I stare at both parties unbelievably.
“Are you sure you killed that child, because, from all the visions I have been getting lately, she is very much alive and so close to you that I can almost smell her even right now in this pack, the oracle cannot lie”
“What are you saying, how can my daughter be on the same pack with me and I will not recognize her? I can promise you that the child is long dead and forgotten, please don't drive me insane with all your gibberish”
“Think, think child. Did you see the baby die?”
“No, I technically did not see the child die, but I am sure she must have been eaten by wild animals from where we left her,”
“I am telling you she is alive, look for her and destroy her before she destroys all that you have worked hard to achieve. I have spoken what the gods themselves revealed to me, I should be on my way now” the woman said before leaving the room.
Miranda sank into the chair opposite the mirror, fright, and terror evident in her countenance.
“You are a very wicked woman, how could you have killed your child, such cruelty,” I kept blabbing on Miranda's ears.
I almost did not see her instinctively sway her hand to the back of her ear, luckily she missed hitting me.
Phew! That was a close one.
“these nasty mosquitoes, I wonder how this unfortunate one got in here. Someone get the insecticide,” I heard her bark and that was my cue to leave the room.
I flew out of the room and I was more than astonished about the things I just heard. I can't believe that Miranda is capable of killing her child, does this mean that she might know who tried to kill the bastard. Or was she the one who tried to kill him?
My next point of call was Richard's room, the door was partially locked but the tiny space in between was big enough for a mosquito.
“So I will become the Queen when I am married to you?” I heard Bella say to Richard.
“Yes, just like my mother, but you have to help me become a powerful Alpha through the use of your powers,” Richard said to an all attentive Bella.
The thought of becoming the Queen seem to fascinate her as she beamed from ear to ear. Almost, I notice that she had taken her bath and had changed into a beautiful long dress, just like one of the ones I was given when I was here as Richard's mate.
Why is Miranda so desperate to get Richard mated to a witch?
“How do you mean to make you powerful, I mean if you are going to be the king, it means you are already powerful,” bella questioned with a smile.
“Yes I know that, but with you by my side, I would do even better, that is why the sooner you become pregnant for me the better” Richard said.
“I don't understand, if you needed me this much, why was I treated like a prisoner when I was brought in,”
“Sorry about that, my mum was very pissed after my ex was caught cheating, she genuinely cared for her, it's a pity she is letting out her anger on you”
Is this dude talking about me or someone else, when did I ever cheat on him? Honestly, I am not a bit surprised by Bella's easily accepting to become the luna, she has always been desperate for power.
But this dude calling a cheat is not something I intend to take lightly.
She doesn't deserve you, you need a real woman like myself to make all your dreams come through, Bella said circling her hand around Richard's neck.
Whore.
“I am very much happy to hear that,” Richard said smiling.
Just then the door opened and Miranda walked in, she is a bit surprised to see how fast Bella and Richard has connected as she stares at both parties speechlessly.
“Mum?”
“Sorry, it's nice to see you two get along, you two sure look good together,” she said behind clenched teeth.
I will need you to organize a search party around the pack, I need any girl between the girl age of eighteen to nineteen years brought into the palace,” Miranda said to Richard.
“What for,” Richard asked
“Do what I say and stop asking stupid questions,” Miranda said angrily at Richard.
“Yes, mother,”
The tone in which Miranda spoke with Richard did not sit well with bella. She can't seem to believe that Miranda was insulting the future alpha in that manner, not minding the fact that she was there.
And you don't have to be all nice to get what you want, get it done tonight and make sure I get a good result by morning Miranda said before walking out of the door before Richard could answer her.
What was that about? Bella questioned still in shock at how Miranda just spoke with Richard
What is what
I mean, is that how she speaks to you,
She is my mother,”
Really? she said as a mischievous smile appeared on her side lips
“I have to go now I will be back soon,” Richard said, preparing himself to go out
“So I would be all alone by myself?” I heard Bella's question.
Turning him around so he would be facing her and looking straight into Richard's eyes, she mumbled some inaudible words and her eyes flashed into Richards' eyes.
She had hypnotized him.
Stupid bitch, now I know why everyone thinks she charmed Harry. Poor guy would be so heartbroken when he hears that his bella is now Richards Bella.
“Now, call one of the guards and tell them to go do your mother's bidding, because you are about to get busy with your future queen. Is that clear?” she questioned and Richard nodded in agreement.
“Good boy,” she said putting her hands around his waist seductively.
“I guess my mission is completed,” I said, as I flapped my tiny wings back towards where the bastard and Harry were waiting for me.
