57. A Failure
CHARLENE
“Really Charlene, can you pay a little attention? You need to choose a dress.” Mom scolded flipping through the samples of fabrics that sat on the sofa next to her.
I frowned as I stared out at the blizzard outside. We were currently in the sitting room of our quarters and Mom was trying to have our dresses finalised for the upcoming ball.
Was Yileyna ok? I heard Theon was moving back to the castle. This time of year was brutal in terms of how cold it got, I didn’t get why Yileyna hadn’t moved to the castle with him as well. It had shocked me when the staff said it was just Theon alone… What was going on? It wasn’t like either of them to be separated. Theon was so possessive about her. Everyone could tell from the way he looked at her, he was even going around making it known. So it was strange she wasn’t at the castle, it was worrying me. Did they argue again? I wished she had the ability to mind link so I could at least talk to her. “Charlene!” Mom snapped, making me jump. “Mom, relax. Choose whatever you like.” I said quietly. I felt restless and I knew it was because of the news of Theon coming here alone. Goddess! I needed to do something. “Charlene, as the future ruler of this kingdom, you need to be a lot more proactive about what is going on around you.” Mom reprimanded me icily. 1 I frowned.
“Choosing a dress when we are threatened by war and attacks isn’t really being proactive.” I murmured, but of course, she heard. Her heels clicked on the floor as she strode over to me, pulling me by my arm and turning me viciously. She raised her hand. My eyes flew open as I stared at her and she brought it down, stopping inches from my face.
Our hearts were thumping. She had never hit me… She looked shocked by her own actions too. She lowered her hand, clenching her fist, and twirled away, her anger so obvious that it worried me.
“You need to act like you are at least an alpha female!” She hissed. 2
“I don’t understand why you’re saying that, Mom. I’m doing my best.”
I didn’t understand what more she wanted from me.
“You aren’t. Your father is so worried about the future of this kingdom, why? Because you aren’t up to the standard needed.” She said, worry and anger on her face. “Growing up we both know you were always second to a certain someone, at least now try to live up to the expectations we need from you.” +
I felt the pang of pain inside. Yes I know, I was always compared to Yileyna by Mom. Yileyna was always better at everything, and Mom would always make remarks about it. That only stopped when I shifted and Yileyna didn’t. But lately, with the growing threats, it was only becoming more and more stressful for us all. 3
