Chapter 69

That was it for me. I had finally taken enough from him. 'Don't insult my father." I told him with a resigned voice. 'I'm just saying. You need to make your findings because war isn't a pleasant thing, okay?" 'Have you been speaking to Mascot as well?" 'Well it doesn't matter, he's been my friend for such a long time, we just fell off because of this matter.." 'You shouldn't be listening to Mascot." I shouted at him. 'Mascot is jealous of you." 'It doesn't matter." He said, paused and then asked. 'Can I be the commander in chief of this army we are building?" It was a weird question coming from Thorne even though I knew him as a greedy person. Why would he want to take such a significant position just suddenly? 'Is this also the handwork of Mascot? Did he put you up to this?" I inquired from him. 'No one put me up to anything. I want to know if I can do that? I want to hear from you so I know I'm not wasting my time.with you." 'Where's all this coming from? Two days ago, we were good. You asked me to be your girlfriend. Now this?" How?" I asked, wondering where it all went wrong. 'Well, let's say I realized that I needed to be smart. Whatever we were doing was just for your benefit, not mine or anyone else's but yours. You don't really expect me to waste my time without any sure chance of benefiting from it?" I swallowed hard and stared at Thorne with wide eyes and my mouth open. What exactly was going on? Something happened to my friends and I needed to find out. 'Are you giving up on me too? Like Laura? What the hell came over both of you?" I screamed at him. 'Maybe because we realized that we deserve better than you treat us, so we are fighting for what we deserve." 'But I give you the respect you deserve." I said to him. 'Respect, who cares about that? I asked a simple question and I want an answer. Would you make me the commander in chief of the army when it's finally set up?" I knew he had hidden plans and that was why he wanted me to make him commander in chief. It was clear that the people I so much trusted and loved were against me and it made me want to go back to my shell. 'Why are you doing this? Everything was going well before you had to start acting like this." 'What do you think? You honestly think the problem is me?" Thorne laughed. 'No, no. You don't get it yet. The problem is you. You and not anyone else." 'Me? What did I ever do to you guys? I have tried to be a good friend." I tried to explain but was cut short. 'You mean a selfish friend cause that's what you are. A lot of people will be endangered because of this stupid conquest of yours and all you think about is yourself. How selfish can you be?" I couldn't believe that it was Thorne speaking to me with such disgust on his face. He hated me at the moment. 'You should leave. Go back to your clan so our clan will go back to being the peaceful land, it was used to being." Thorne concluded and walked away. Was I really a bad influence to this Clan? Was I really selfish? Thoughts in my head kept running high and low. I didn't know how to take the information I had gotten from Thorne. Did everyone else think that I was selfish too by deciding to fight for my father's clan, for daring to be different. Maybe that's how the Alpha sees me too. Selfish. There was absolutely no need asking for their help because they wouldn't help me. I remembered how the Alpha encouraged us to stand together but currently we weren't even together anymore. I couldn't help but to think that this was plotted together by Laura and Thorne because how would both of them turn against the same day. It was truly unbearable for me as I walked to the throne room. I wanted to meet the Alpha and hear what he had to say. I didn't have the motivation or energy to fight whatever that will be. This journey has gotten me into trouble a lot of times, maybe it was time for me to let it go. I walked into the throne room without being invited to. As the guards were rushing in to pull me away, the Alpha ordered them to let me go. 'Good day my Alpha. How are you? I'm sorry I had to barge into this place but I finally have an answer to your question." I answered, acting out of character. 'Well, what is it? I'm all ears." He answered, listening carefully. 'Well, my answer is that I am tired. I am so tired. Tired of hoping and praying and wishing. I just want peace. So in other words, I don't want the war anymore. I was supposed to ask you to give your warriors to Lucas but you can't do that. Your warriors are the strongest known, if they ever teamed up with Lucas, who is so deadly the whole world would be affected and not just my clan." 'I hope you know what you're saying?" Tha Alpha asked, making sure he heard me well. 'Yes. I do. I don't want war anymore. I just want peace." I answered, calming myself down. 'Anyway, I'm aren't a member of this clan so I have to find my way, soon enough." I bowed my head as I said this. 'You're leaving? Why?" 'I'm not welcome anymore." I answered politely. 'What happened?" He asked me, his face filled with concern. 'Is it your mother? Is she okay?" 'Yes. I just think it's best we go back to where we belong." I bowed and was about to leave. 'Take good care of yourself and don't think too much. The moon goddess will surely help you in your time of need." I knew those words were meant to encourage me and keep me going but it did nothing but bring sorrow, agony on me. I headed for my chamber so I could tell my mother everything. The plan was to pack and leave for Shadowcrest early next morning. It was going to be a tiring journey for me and mother because we would walk but I believe it would be worth it. I was on the track to another story.
