chapter 22

Not EditedWe were back at home. The warmth and the fragrance of room made me think of my world. Till few weeks before, this was my world, my life, my own cave. All things have twisted now. I have new life ahead, new world to explore. It's like, "I'm not myself now,"Sitting here on my bed, cross-legged and thinking of what would I do once I go back. Will I be able to survive? will I be able to protect, when I didn't even know from whom I have to protect?Though Suraj assured me that he will always be there with me in any condition, but still there is a large part in me that doesn't know what to think. What to expect. "Dhwani," I turned to the voice. It was Shivam. He was standing looking at me. We stared for few seconds. I patted seat next to me on bed. It was when I realised how much I need my family now. My only family I can be with. May be I can't see them every morning. After few hesitant movement he sat beside me. We weren't looking at each other, or may be it was just me who wasn't. "What's on your mind?" He asked . I don't know how to explain him about what's on my mind. After all those information about my family...ahh.. family. "You knew about everything, right!" I signed him to understand to which he nodded."You knew that our Mom is alive?" Again I asked and he nodded. "Dhwani, you are the most precious one for me. When you came in Mom's arms yawning you didn't realised how much we were happy." He spoke those words with a nostalgic smile on his face. "We knew how much we need to protect you, not because you were going to the be the next Queen, but because you were our little sister." He grabbed my hands in his. "I know Suraj must have told you everything, but what I want you to know is you were and you will not be alone. " Just what I want to hear. Like some invisible force I hugged him feeling the security from someone who knows me best. Not Yash, but it's Shivam who took care of me most.Who is the person we need to fight and why?" I asked him, cause I know he knows it. "It's Mom." My eyes were wide and my body got paralysed. "Mom?" I again signed him, if I have heard correct. And he nodded.*******It was enough drama for me. I wanted to feel myself now. I got out my room and with a huge weigh on my shoulder walked down to see no one lingering around. I have whole day for myself. I promised myself to be do things I need, right now.I went out, not bothering to know what will happen. I just wandered around, not knowing which path to go. I walked till I was standing before a colorful building. I stepped inside, walking slowly. I knew I was getting few glance from people around. Finally after few minutes I was at my destination. The wooden door of the cabin was sightly open, which mean someone was already there. Before I could open it, it was pulled back."Dhwani?" Lucky asked shocked watching me here. "Are you for real?" He was still not convinced that I came here. I nodded at him and pushed him back to enter the cabin. It has been 10 years that I visited here. It hasn't changed much. Let alone this cabin. The same brown wood color walls, a centre table with few documents, and a pen stand. The leather chair behind the table haven't changed, though it have new cover. The wall beside it-"Why are you here, dear?" He smirked at me asking. Lucky always have this aura around him. I still remember when I last visited here. The building, or should I say it's a territory of my brother's pack. "Is Alpha with you?" Lucky asked again as I haven't answered him. Lucky is the Beta of the pack, like a second hand of the king. As Shivam being the Alpha he is like his right hand. I nodded side by side conveying that I'm alone. "So...?" He trailed the sentence for me complete. I tried very hard to explain him what I want to say. He didn't know much sign language but after few more attempt, he understood. "of course, I will announce that the pack needs to be here in few minutes." He knows me. He knows what I want. Although we haven't met for a long time I still remember him boosting about how he will be next beta of the pack. I glared at him, his brown eyes still with mischief, holded mine. Though he was tall and mascular, he looked cute when he smiled with a dimpled cheeks. It's hard to be angry with him. And that's the main reason that he is right hand of my brother. Well, for his Alpha. He left soon after, and I remained there. After few minutes of looking here and there, I realised that why the hell was I even here?The wall behind the Alpha's chair , has a huge portrait of a couple. Can Shivam be right? The former Queen was the one threat to her own palace. But, how? I step further to reach the portrait, it showed a beautiful lady, a Queen, a real Queen. Her eyes reflecting mine. Same, those dark brown eyes. And just beside her was my Dad, holding her with a one hand, securing her in his arm. Her head leaning on his shoulder. Their smile looked so perfect. They looked so perfect. "Dhwani, they are here." I heard Lucky's voice behind me. "Let's go." He took my hand in his leading me towards the door. "Are you planing to tell me why are you here?" He asked still continuing our journey towards the main hall. The portraits of few people hanging around the wall. How was I suppose to tell him why am I here? I stopped and turned to face him, raising my one eyebrow. His face showed understanding, "oh! Yea, ok, ok. Let's go."When we were at the main hall, I saw crowd of people, whispering, some talking loud enough for other to listen."What do you think, why is she here?""She is Alpha's sister, isn't she?." A lady in late twenties asked to lady near her, and in answer other nodded. "Mommy, so she can grant wishes?" A little kid next to the lady asked innocently. Before the lady, apparently his Mom, could answer Lucky interrupted."Hmm..hmmm" Lucky cleared his throat making all them aware that we have arrived."Ladies and gentlemen...""Kids are here too.." the same little kid said pouting, I smiled at him and he beamed when he saw me smiling. "Mom, mom..." He stared jumping "see, she smiled at me. She is gonna make my wish come true. Yes,na?" His mom quickly pulled him against her giving him a glare to keep quite."So, ladies, gentlemen and kids"Lucky started, "today we are here to discuss the important matter." Every one in the hall stopped listening carefully. Hundreds of eyes staring us. "As you all know, here with us is Alpha's little sister. I would be glad to announce you that, now Dhwani, sorry.." he chuckled, "now crowned as 'The Queen of the Anglein Palace' would like to share something with you." "Diya, help me." I called Diya and in response she helped me.I raised my hand and with a few circles in air, the red sparks grew. Those spark moulded in flower. A Rose. "Dhwani..." Everything froze just with the word.__________________________________Hey guys, long time no see? Well, I was too busy with my job. Sorry!Now, How are you all.
