The Lycan King's Rejected Queen
The Lycan King’s Rejected Queen Chapter 69

“You Are Right, Bestie. You Didn’t Kill Him Because I Did.”

Alina felt her breath almost stop. “Cry-Crystal! What are you saying?”

Alina could not believe her ears. Did Crystal kill Atlas? how? Why?

Crystal nodded her head. “You can’t believe it, right? I knew it. I know I will get this reaction from you.”

Alina thought she was joking with her. “Crystal, it is not time for kidding. Why are you saying this?”

Crystal stood up. And went to the door. Alina thought she was leaving but she didn’t leave. She stood beside a wall.

“Do you know what is special about this dungeon?”

Alina was silent, she was only listening to Crystal.

“You can listen to what is happening outside but no one can hear what is happening inside. Your mate King Aaron made this dungeon to play with traitors. He punished them and no one could hear their screams. They wanted to die every day but they could not die. They died alive daily.”

When Crystal saw Alina was not speaking she leaned her back against the wall and said,

“Let me tell you a story, Alina. A real life story of a Witch.”

Alina sitting there, staring at Crystal like a statue. She was seeing a new Crystal today. She could not understand what Crystal was trying to do or say. It was not like she had another option without listening to her.

Crystal started to speak,

“Many years ago there was a very beautiful witch. She was a very high ranked witch from the age of fourteen years old. She lived on the village side. Far away from the town side and far away from this Lycan palace. She had those powers which other witches didn’t have. So every witch started to respect her and bowed to her.”

Crystal stopped and looked away from Alina as if she was thinking something. Then she continued,

“One day the soon to be Lycan king, the Crown prince came to visit the village side. He heard about the witch from the villagers. He got excited because he had not met any witches before. He went to her just to meet her.

When he met her for the first time, the witch fell in love with the crown prince. But she did not express her feelings to him.

After some days, the crown prince started to come to the village side every month just to meet the witch.

The girl felt happy that the crown prince cared about her. She thought one day he would fall in love with her. So she waited for the day to come.

Many years went by just like that. The crown prince and the witch became best friends.

In a war before the crown prince’s coronation, the witch helped him a lot.

After winning the war, the Crown prince became the Lycan king. He was very happy and impressed with the Witch that he made her his Royal Witch.”

Alina gasped. Alina tried to understand whom Crystal was talking about.

Crystal closed her eyes and started again.

“Day by day, the witch and the crown prince got closer to each other. There were spreading rumors that the two of them had an affair. But one day, everything broke in the blink of an eye.

The Lycan king found his mate, his fated mate. She was not powerful like the witch. But still, she was his fated mate. A werewolf always wanted his mate more than anyone. They have two choices: one, they can accept, or second, they can reject and find another chosen mate.

The crown prince did not tell anything to the witch. He even stopped to go to the Witch.

A few days later, the witch heard that the king had arranged a crown ceremony for his Queen.

The witch cried the whole day and night. She went to the soon to be Queen and told her everything. She thought the Queen would talk with the king and backed away.

But the Queen did not back down. She became the Queen and told the witch to stay away from her mate.

After that, The witch stayed from the Crown prince’s life for years.

But she did not forget her duty as a witch.

She started to live a normal life. She found a boy who was a wizard. He listened to her every pain and one night they spent the night together.

The next day the witch regretted the night because in her heart there was only the king.

She told the wizard to leave her alone. She did not contact him after that.

After weeks, she understood that she was pregnant. She cursed herself for that. But when she touched her belly she felt her child’s heartbeat and realized that she could not regret the child. It was her own child.

She decided to raise the child alone. She thought she would make the child powerful just like her.

But a few years later, she fell sick. She had no one in front of her. When she tried to contact the king, the Queen did not let him meet her. Day by day she cried for the king but she had to die without seeing her lover’s face.

The Witch died without care, without Love. That was the ending of her life, a painful ending.”

Alina was staring at Crystal. She felt sad for the witch. But Alina was confused about why Crystal told her all of this. She still believed Crystal joked with her that she killed Atlas.

“Do you know who was the witch I was talking about all these times?”

Alina did not reply.

“It was none other than Chloe Graham, my mother.”

Alina’s eyes widened. “Y-Your Mother?”

Crystal smiled sadly for a second but her eyes glowed green in the next moment.

Alina was shocked looking at her.

“Do you know why everyone said that she gave me her power? Because she prepared me for her from the start. She wanted me to take her revenge on the king and the Queen by making me the next Queen.”

“Wh-What do you mean?” Alina said.

Crystal smirked at her. “You can’t believe how powerful my mother was. She knew from the start who would be the mate of the Crown prince Aaron. She observed the girl the whole time from her childhood. She told me to be friends with her.”

The Lycan king found his mate, his fated mate. She was not powerful like the witch. But still, she was his fated mate. A werewolf always wanted his mate more than anyone. They have two choices: one, they can accept, or second, they can reject and find another chosen mate.

Alina frowned at Crystal.

“Crys-Crystal!”

Alina frowned at Crystal.

“Crys-Crystal!”

Crystal did not stop. She continued.

“I became friends with her. I tried to make her believe that I am the only one who cared for her.”

Tears dropped from Alina’s eyes.

“You did not become friends with me by yourself? You came to me because your mother told you to do that?”

“Of course, dumbo. Do you think I came to you like an angel? You are too foolish. You believed all the things I said to you. You believed in me, Your biggest enemy.”

“All the time you told me about your love for Aaron, you knew I was his mate? You knew from the start?”

“Yes, babe. I knew it all. I did not think you would become clever suddenly and began to hide everything from me. But when Aaron told you to meet him in his office, I understood that you two had figured out about each other.”

Alina did not know what to say. All these times she was feeling guilty that she hid all the things from her best friend. She felt like a traitor to herself that she was accepting the man whom her best friend loved. But what was actually the truth? All these times her own best friend was cheating on her? Playing with her trust?

“I wanted to kill that Daisy at first. Because all the time she supported you. But then I changed my plan and thought why not kill her husband instead of her?

Don’t you think it was the best plan? Now she will understand how it feels to live alone. Now she will live a loveless life just like my mother.”

Crystal laughed.

“Why is she telling everyone that I killed her husband?” Alina asked.

Alina thought her life was over. Her best friend betrayed her. ‘Is she even my best friend? What was my fault here? I didn’t do anything with her mother.’

Alina really got angry with Crystal. She wanted to shout at her, she wanted to slap her hard. Why did she do that?

But before that, she wanted to know the whole truth. She wanted to know how she killed Atlas and why Daisy was lying to everyone that she saw her killing her husband.

“Do you really want to know? Do you have the strong heart to know the truth?”

Alina tightened her fists and glared at Crystal.

Crystal replied,

“I possessed that bitch’s mind.”

Alina was stunned. “Possessed?”

“Yes, possessed. We witches have the power to possess anyone’s mind. But for that, you have to be the high ranked witch and you need a little more witch power.”

Alina remembered Crystal went to her aunt for practice daily. She understood which witch Crystal was talking about.

Crystal smirked again and said,

“I possessed her mind and she saw what I wanted her to see.

I killed her husband but she only saw you instead of me.”
