Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 232 The Plan
Shilah and Sukie halted their horses in front of the Palace gates as four of the sisters who had been guarding it stood in the way. The sisters couldn’t hide their surprises, but they also couldn’t cower in front of the most wanted people in the Witches Palace.
“What is the meaning of this?” That was sister Corrine. “What are you two doing here?”
“Funny question”, Shilah chuckled. “I thought you were wanted. Shouldn’t you be happy to see us?”
For a fact, they were wanted, but them offering themselves on a platter of gold was never what they imagined. And of course, it made the whole thing suspicious.
“We demand to see the supreme sister”, Shilah voiced out. Her horse whined and she had to pull it’s reins to control him.
“And why would you want to see the Supreme Sister? Both of you are our greatest enemies right now and you, Shilah, have a death penalty on your head. Maybe I should do the honors of taking off your hand”, The second sister blustered.
“Get me upset and you’ll lose your head instead”, Shilah hissed. “I have no plans of staying here for long. So, are you letting me in, or I should f0rce it?”
The sisters exchanged glances at each other. Briefly, another sister came running out from the gate. She threw a hard glare at Shilah and Sukie before turning to whisper into the ears of Sister Corrine:
“The Supreme Sister wants them in”. Corrine was surprised, even Shilah could tell from her face.
“Are you sure?” She turned to the sister and whispered and got a nod in return. With great displease, she exhaled heavily.
“The Supreme Sister wants you in”, she looked up at Shilah and said. “I guess she wants to k*il*l you herself”.
She walked in with the rest of the sisters, and the next few seconds, the gate went open.
Shilah and Sukie rode in with Sukie being more nervous – although she tried so hard to conceal it.
She was riding into her home, the only home she’s known her whole life. The only difference was, she was riding in as a wanted enemy, beside a person with a death penalty.
The Palace looked just the same, the only difference was the sisters gathered all around. Of course, getting news of Shilah’s presence was something alarming. Hence, everyone wanted to be a witness.
Sukie’s heart gave a mighty leap when she spotted Kylie – standing in front of the big hall with Remata, Mirinda and Elphaba behind her. It sent shivers down Sukie’s spine, staring at the same lady she’d shared her privacy with, shared her bed and did every nasty things with. For a moment, she’d nearly lost control over her nervousness, but when she looked at Shilah, it reminded her of how important their mission was.
Shilah wasn’t disturbed at the number of witches staring at her. It didn’t bother her that the entire witches had come out and were probably against them. Instead, she focused her gaze on Kylie who was glaring at them with so much venom, so much hate.
She halted her horse when she got close enough, and so did Sukie. And in unison, the two ladies climbed down to the ground.
Kylie confirmed the rumours. Indeed, Shilah looked different. But it didn’t change the plans and hatred she had for her.
“I must applaud you, Shilah”, she began. “Riding all the way here to surrender yourself is not something everyone would do”.
She was trying not to look at Sukie, she didn’t even want to notice her.
Shilah chuckled as she took calm steps towards her while running her eyes round her surrounding. It was almost like a theater now as every other witch was present. It made the space so full, and that was what Shilah wanted. That was the plan.
“Do not flatter me, Kylie, because I’ll hate to disappoint you”, Shilah sighed. “Actually, I’d like to thank you first, for giving me your audience”.
Kylie’s mood changed.
“You do not have my audience. Sisters! Seize them and lock them up until I decide the best time to burn her”, she snarled.
Instantly, three sisters budged toward them. But they had barely gotten close enough when Shilah stretched her hand and commanded heavy wind against them.
It swept them off their feet and landed them roughly on their backs. The rest of the sisters flinched.
“How dare you, Shilah?!” Kylie grunted. She threw a fire at her, but Shilah repelled it.
“I am not here to fight, Kylie. So, do not push me”, Shilah hissed. Sukie was still standing behind, her head bowed.
“I came here to speak to everyone of you!” She made her voice more audible.
“You have no right to speak to us, Shilah! You have the death sentence and you must…”
“I know. But I’m not letting you k*il*l me”, Shilah rolled her eyes, cutting Kylie off.
Then, she turned to the rest of the witches.
“When will you get tired?!” She asked at the top of her voice.
“When will you get tired of this slavery you call laws. A law that keeps you alone, a law that limits your relationship with others, a law that prevents you from mating with a wolf or vampire. A law that makes it difficult for you to even find love? What in the name of the Spirits is that law?”
The faces of the sisters were furrowed in confusion as they exchanged glances and muttered earless words. There was a pucker between Kylie’s brows, she was trying to comprehend what was going on.
“What do you think you are doing?” She voiced.
But Shilah ignored her.
“You have no friends, only enemies”, she continued, ambling in the circle.
“If misfortune befalls the Oceanic Witches, do you realize you’ll have no one to turn to for help? You’ll have no one to run to – no Wolf, no vampire. Or is it the villagers you’ll be counting on? The same villagers that fears your name because they believe witches are dangerous? WE ARE ALONE! Is that really what the law wants?”
“What are you thinking about, Shilah?” Kylie scoffed. “Are you trying to fight the law now?”
“I am not trying to…”, Shilah looked at her. “But I want to break the law”.
