Alpha's Little Vampire Mate
Chapter 93

Chloe's POV:

I watched with batted breath, as Marcus spoke to the angry group of wolves outside. I saw how tensed he was, his back straight and all, and from where I stood I could hear his heart drumming violently in his chest. My eyes flickered over to Lily, who had not taken her eyes off me since she got here. We shared a look and I diverted my eyes over to Titus and Mark who also looked to be worried about me.

"That is a serious accusation," Marcus growled, still trying to put up a defensive stance for me. "And what proof do you have to your claim?"

I groaned, when a little blondie came out from where she had been hiding behind the the wolf who had spoken earlier. Her eyes were lowered, as the man placed a hand across her shoulders. "This wee lass over here, had claimed to see her transform into the monster that we all suspected her to be!"

"Young one," Marcus said in an intimidating tone and I almost pitied the she-wolf (almost, being the key word). "Is it true tah you had seen my wife transform into a vampire as you claimed earlier?" She remained silent.

"Look here," Marcus growled, making her take a step backwards. "I have no patience for such sluggishness! Speak up, will you? Or did you suddenly swallow your tongue?!"

I forced myself not to slam a palm against my face. If I were to be the one under that kind of deadly glare, I would be paralyzed to death and would not even be able to stand straight.

"Y... yes," she croaked out. "I had gone to serve her some juice and we got talking. Then, her eyes changed and she threatened to eat me alive and drink my blood, if I told anyone about her," she lied, her voice shaking like a dry leave.

My mouth fell open in shock, and the hurt that filled my being was undescribable. Lily also wore the same expression as me, her jaw almost hitting the ground, while the men stared at the maid, disapprovingly.

"Can you swear before the goddess's shrine, that you are saying the truth?" Marcus asked again. He huffed in annoyance, when she would not reply. "Look here-"

"She will not swear, when we all know it the truth," a female voice said from the back. A voice which I knew too well and the crowd parted, letting stupid Cara through until she stopped right in front of Marcus. "There is no need for all the swearing horny, we already have plenty of evidence!"

"You led them here, didn't you?"

She gave him a sinister smile, her beautiful face contorting into one of sheer ugliness. The rotten witch just had no limits, they was no stopping her, was there?

"How dare you Cara? Who gave you the permission to come here?! Or even let these wolves into my cave? How dare you?!

She looked look scared for a moment, but then looked away from him. "Let us not change the topic, we were talking about your little demon of a wife!"

I swear by the goddess and every other deity up above the clouds, if I succeeded to convince these people that I was to be trusted and accepted as their Luna, I will make sure that Cara is tried and executed! What an annoying witch!" "We can't be too sure about that, can we?" Lily stepped in this time. "Juat because this thing-" she gestured to the maid who had testified and lied against me. "-claims that she saw our Luna transform into whatever she claims, does not mean that we have to believe her! Is it not obvious enough that she is working with Cara to pull Chloe down?!"

"No one asked of your opinion," Cara snapped, giving Lily a once over. Then, she went as far as making the biggest mistake of her life when she added: "you worthless human."

Before we all knew it, Lily had pounced on Cara, pushing her to the ground. She was already delivering serious blows to Cara's face, when they succeeded in pulling her off of her. "Call me worthless oneore time, and I will sure you my worth! You shameless whore, you can't deal with the fact that Marcus dumped your ass and now you are busy making up stories that are not even real!" She yelled, trying to break out of her husband's grip and rush at Cara who stood glaring in a

corner.

"I did not make this up, she really is a monster!" She yelled. "Believe me when I say she is in there, drag her out and let's confirm if I am saying the truth or not!"

By now; the crowd were no longer so strong in their protests. Some had even put off the fire from their woods and other gave Cara doubtful looks, as they murmured amongst each other. The murmuring went on for over three minutes, before the wolf who had first spoken, cleared his throat and everyone fell silent again. In all of it, Marcus remained silent, his eyes flickering to where I stood behind the window, every now and then.

"Alpha," he gave a bow in respect, before standing straighter. "On behalf of everyone here today, I apologize for us coming into your property unannounced and harassing your wife, when we had no full proof to the allegations made against her. We shall take our leave now, but we have an appeal..." he paused, as if he was waiting for Marcus's approval.

"And what will that be?" Marcus asked, cocking his head to the side. His one foot tapped repeatedly against the floor, as he waited for what to was to be said.

"We would like to take the case to court, and we would like it if your wife would be present and prove to us that she is innocent of all the accusations made against her."

Marcus looked to be thinking for a while, then he agreed that we would see them all in court tomorrow. "Now, I want you all to get off my property this minute!" They all rushed out, nobody wanting to be the victim of his fury but one. Rotten Cara remained, glaring daggers at him. "You sly fox," he hissed, taking a step towards her. "How dare you?!"

"Hmm," she smirked, her eyes glinting with evil. "Tomortow we shall see in court and just so you know, I have more than enough evidence to prove that your whore of a wife-"

She did not get to finish her statement because Marcus grabbed her by the neck. I would have been happy that he had her in a choke hold, if not for the fact that she looked far too excited than pissed.

"You have not changed," she muttered on a sultry voice, not even having any shame that she had some audience. "Just still so rough, just the way you love you," she added suggestively.

Marcus eyes widened and he quickly released her, whipping his head to met my face tht had gotten red with anger. "Get lost," he snapped, moving away from her and towards the house. Towards me. "You all may leave, and take that annoying flea with you!"

Lily had definitely been waiting for that order because she went at Cara, pushing her to the ground and continuing with what she had already started. "You stupid bitch, I will get this stupid face of yours maimed, and let us see how you try to jump people's men!"

That one right there, was a serious threat. Luckily for Cara, Mark pulled his hot tempered wife away from her and flung her over his shoulders. Titus pulled Cara roughly off the ground, grumbling about how he was being forced to hang around witches.

I heard the door open and I looked away from where Titus and Cara disappeared out into the corridor. I lowered my eyes, preparing for a scolding from Marcus.

I refused to lift my eyes up, as he approached, the floor making noise under of his feet. He came to stop in front of me and before I could I apologize for the trouble I had caused, he threw his arms around me, pulling me into a very tight hug. "I am sorry baby," he muttered, burying his face into my hair. "I am so sorry that you have to go through all these and I can't do anything about it. Can you forgive me?"

I shrugged out of his hug, shifting my head back just enough to see his face. "I hold no grudge against you, I am rather sorry that I have to put you all through this and make you suffer with me!"

He shook his head vigorously, clutching unto me tighter than how he had. "Do not say that baby, it is only right that I stand by you in such situation. Would you not do same for me?" He asked, his eyes full with hope and trust.

"I will," I said in a firm voice, laced with all my sincerity. "I will die for you if I have to," I smiled, leaning forward to drop a peck on his lips.

"You see," he said, brown orbs gazing down into mine appreciatively. "How can I not love you more and more with each day passing? You make me so happy," he said, caressing my cheek with a large palm.

I sighed, leaning further into his touch. My eyes fluttered shut on their own accord, enjoying the moment in silence with him. My eyes only flipped open when he chuckled. "What is it?" I asked, a smile sneaking on to my lips. "Nothing," he grinned, staring admiringly at me. "It's just that you look so beautiful, just too beautiful!"

I took my lower lip in between my teeth, trying to stop the blush that was beginning to creep up my face. The laugh that left him, was proof enough that I had failed woefully! I smacked away his hand, when he came to grab my cheeks. "Let go!" I yelled, a laugh also escaping me.

"Never," he growled lowly, his forehead rumpled as he frowned. "I will never let you go, because you are trapped with me forever. Your body, your heart, your soul," he paused, like he was letting his words sink in properly. "Never forget that, ever!"

I nodded slowly, my eyes watering again and soon, tears started to fall from my eyes. "What will I do now? Do you think I will be able to win them over by tomorrow?"

He did not look so certain himself, but he nodded, trying to give me a smile. "I am sure they will love you, we will make them fall for your charms, trust me when I say they would not be able to resist," he ran his eyes over me, and they were clouded when they returned to meet mine.

"Do not even think about that," I warned, moving away from him. "You have not told me yet, how Cara knew about this place," I said, crossing my arms against my chest.

"Is someone jealous?"

"Yes," I replied. "I am very jealous and gods help her, I think I have endured that witch for far too long. When I get her, I will make sure to forcefully shot her and break every single bone in her body!"

Marcus stiffened, his eyes shifting elsewhere when I gave him a dirty look and enquired about his opinion on my decision. "I second that! Do with her whatever you will and just so you know, I am right behind you!"

I nodded, shoving away his hand when he still tried to grab my breasts. "We need to get out of here, we need to think of something, fast and quick!"

He grumbled, but still took. my hand and I pulled him with me, out of our little cave house. It worried me this safe haven, was no longer safe for us, it was no longer a place where I could have my own little vacation away from everything and everyone. Well, that could wait! Now, I had a pack's trust to earn!
