“We will give you some time to think about this while we welcome guests.” Said the elder, and they all stood up and left the throne room. Jake leaned back on his chair massaging his neck, this whole thing was stressing him out. Sandra reached out to him and held his hand. “Say something.” Jake sighed. “I don’t want to be king.” He said softly.“Why? You know what will happen if London ends up being king.” Chad asked horrified just by thinking of London being king. “I know what will happen if London becomes king, but I don’t want to be king.” He stood and went to stand facing the king’s chair. Sandra stood and went to stand behind him. “Why don’t you want to be king?” she asked.Jake did not turn to look at her and continued staring at the chair. “I have a pack to run and being king is not something I even dreamed of becoming.” He answered. “So, why did you want to stop London from being crowned king then?” Jake turned and looked at her as if he was insulted. “You should know the man L
They spent the whole day with preparations for the ceremony, the king and queen’s attire being prepared. The rituals being done and now it was the day of the crowning. Sandra did not feel nervous the previous day as they spent it between preparing the attires for the day and doing rituals then teaching her what a queen does.Only today were her nerves kicking in, not even when they were moved to the royal wing where the king and queen stayed did she feel nervous. She was tired and wanted to rest. But now everything was settling, and she could feel her insecurities and nerves come to life.Jake hugged her from behind. “Stop worrying, you will make the best queen they have ever had.” He said kissing her neck, and she turned to look at him with worry written on her face. “Jake I am human and about to be crowned as queen of the werewolves. They will think I am weak and not deserving of the crown.” She voiced her concerns.She tried to move away from Jake, but he held her in place. “You se
The drive back to the Sky Moon pack was a silent one. London was fuming with anger that he did not get to be a king like he wanted to. Melanie was feeling sorry for herself because now there was no way she was going to get rid of Sandra. She is queen now and it will be exceedingly difficult getting close to her.Shane was just quiet thinking of when he will ever find his mate in these conditions. The crowning ceremony was a good place for him to find his mate, but he did not even get to mingle and see if she was there. ‘Am sorry for taking so long to find you but I promise one day we will be together. Please keep yourself for me and be saved.’ Shane said in his mind hoping that by some miracle his mate will get his message.London’s phone rang, and he fished it out of his pocket and clicked his tongue when he saw the caller id. “What do you want?” the latter sighed on the other side; he knew he will be angry at him. “Am sorry things didn’t work according to plan.” The latter said then
The following morning the king and queen were woken up by their servants. They prepared their bathing water while they bathed. They made the bed and brought breakfast. By the time they got out of the bathroom wearing fluffy white robes, the bed was made and they set a small table with breakfast on the balcony of their room.“It will take a while to get used to this.” Said Sandra as she led the way to the balcony with Jake following behind. “You are going to have my queen because this is your life now.” Sandra took a seat. “I know” She glance at the servants that were nearby waiting for any order from them.“How does it feel being queen?” Sandra sighed, it has not settled in yet, it has only been a few hours since they have been crowned. “I do not know yet, it has only been a few hours. How do you feel about it?” the whole situation still felt surreal to Jake, he never thought he would be here today as king of the werewolves.“I still need time to adjust as well. It is a lot to take in
The smile on Chad’s face has disappeared and now he can feel he is in the presence of royalty. The aura around Jake after leaving that room was scaring even his gamma who has known him for years. His aura was different now, powerful, and scarier than anything he has ever seen.Jake was taking long strides going back to the throne room and when he got close, they opened the door for him. The elders inside lifted their heads to look at him, the man was more domineering than a few minutes ago when he felt the room. What happened? They wondered, but no one had the courage to ask. Not when he was so imposing.“Leave what you are doing and get me the files of everyone that works in the palace, and I want background checks on everyone. I want to know who their parents are where they grew up and went to school. Their friends, everything about everyone, and I need this as soon as possible.” He ordered, and the elders looked at each other wondering what is going on.“Is someone going to do some
“What are you doing here? I thought we agreed you will not come here until it has been done!” the general, London’s cousin whisper, yelled at him. Cold sweat drenched his back as he kept looking around to make sure no one was looking. London raised an eyebrow, looking at him.“Did I say I would not come, or I said get it done?” the general could not care less what he said, this was not the time for him to be seen with London, not when the king is now looking into everyone in the palace. “Look, you must leave. They cannot see me with you, and no one must know the relationship between us.”London frowned upon hearing that. No one knows they are related and even when they wanted to meet, they would meet outside of the palace. Why was his cousin suddenly worried? “What happened?” his cousin brought his focus back on him.“The king has launched an investigation, but I do not know what it is about. All I know is that he is looking into everyone in the palace, including the elders.” London l
“This steak is so nice and juicy.” She had her eyes closed, savoring the taste. Jake chuckled. “If you wanted a steak, you should have asked for it, instead of taking mine, but I am enjoying your chicken. It is quite tasty.” Said Jake, making the mm sound as the chews. “It might be tasty, but I am not giving the steak back,” she said and laughed at the expression Jake gave her.“How cruel of you, my queen.” Sandra laughed harder, looking at him, pouting like a child. But that laughter soon turned into an uncontrollable cough. Jake’s smile turned into a frown when he saw his queen struggling to breathe and coughing like that. “Help!” he called out as he went to her and took her in his arms.Her face was white as a sheet now and her eyes wide and red as she coughed. “Help!” Jake called out once again and guards came running. “Call a doctor, now!” he ordered, but when he turned to look at his queen. Sandra was limp in his arms; she was not moving, and it did not seem like she was breathi
Chad left to get the general, while Jake sent soldiers to get London. He was so angry at himself for not protecting his mate when he was told of the threat beforehand. But he did not think they will act so soon. Jake hurried out of the room, going to the room next to the throne room where he had people doing checks on everyone in the palace.The guard at the door greeted him, but he ignores him and pushed the door open with so much force. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked in the door's direction. “Stop what you doing and do a background check on general Lewis and his relationship with alpha London of the Sky Moon Pack. I want that information within the next hour.”He ordered but did not wait for anyone to respond and left the room. “Keep the general in the cells until London gets here.” He sent a mind link to Chad. This was only his second day as king, and this happened. He knew London had not given up on being king, but he was naïve enough to think that he
EpilogueJake was awake all night waiting for a call to update him on what happened the previous night. He did not want to call himself because he knew that in times of battle there is no time for a phone. When he got a call in the early hours of the morning from Derick informing him of what happened he was relieved.He then went to bed. “My parents will be here at ten, I will come and wake you up thirty minutes before the time so you can have enough time to freshen up,” Sandra told him when he walked into their room looking like the walking dead. He hummed his response and threw himself on the bed. It did not take long for him to fall into a deep sleep because of how tired he was.That morning Sandra left Jake in bed and went to make sure the preparations for her parent’s arrival were going according to plan. Their room to sleep, the decorations, and the breakfast set up. She made sure everything was done, then when she saw that her parents have landed; she went to take out clothes f
The battle had broken through the city with the vampires hunting the werewolves in bars and restaurants. They did not care who saw them while they were busy killing each other. The witches had expected that something like this would happen after killing Lewis and homeland security confiscating the drugs Lewis and his people had manufactured.So, when the battle of the species started the witches were safe in the witch regent’s house with a protection spell to hide the house from being seen by other creatures. The beta and the gamma had managed to get out of the packhouse and alert the others. But it seemed they too had their hands full. The vampires outside could easily smell their scents and started the battle on the outside as well.The scene was bloody and gruesome; it was war but not the one the species were waiting for, this war was with two allies who have now turned enemy. Two of the most powerful, violent species in the supernatural world. Vampires and werewolves. “We can find
The following morning the news about the arrest of those people broke. The vampires, werewolves, and those left who worked with Lewis became anxious. There was no mention of Lewis on the news, but they did not take note of the lead detective on the case. They wanted to know where Lewis and the scientist were.“We were promised an antidote and we need it. We have done our part now it is time for you to deliver.” The vampire clan leader said to Lewis’s beta. The beta was also at a loss, they did not know what happened to their alpha. They have tried contacting him and the scientists but none of them have answered their phones.Also, with Lewis and his experiments on himself. They could not feel when the bond broke the moment Lewis died. To them, he was still alive out there, somewhere. “Our alpha is a man of his word; you will get what we owe you but I think he is lying low now. There is too much heat.” The beta tried to explain to the vampire.To make him understand the situation but t
The agents were shocked by what they just witnessed. Other agents drew their guns and pointed them at all the werewolves. Humans fear what they do not understand, and the situation was no different with these agents. Things like werewolves are things they only thought existed in movies and now seeing them live with their own eyes was something scary.Jake just looked at them and went to find something to wear. The lead agent was still shocked looking at the werewolves’ cracking bones and shifting back to their human forms. Two of them were so shocked that they fainted when they saw the werewolves. “Stop right there and put your hands up.” The second in command said to the werewolves.Jake looked at the lead agent who seemed to be out of it then shook his head. “Stop moving, I told you to stand right there, or I will shoot.” The second in command repeated his command, he was scared out of his mind after what he saw. It was not only that these people were werewolves but how they killed
When Jake arrived in Louisiana, he called Chad, and he informed him of what they found in the lab. How they have changed the security systems there and have locked the place down with their own people on guard. Chad also told him about the schedule they found of three trucks that left the facility with medical supplies. They were to deliver the supplies to an address in the outskirts of town.“Burn that lab down and I will take care of the trucks.” Jakes said feeling like they were too late in stopping whatever Lewis was planning. “Alpha, what do we do about the people we found in the lab?” they did not know if those people were alive or dead or where they came from. “If they are alive save them if not, burn them with the building.” Jake ordered.Chad told everyone what the alpha king had ordered, and everyone went to work. Tylor with some warriors went to assist Jake in apprehending those trucks. The trucks were ahead of them, so they had to drive like maniacs on the road trying to c
Things at the palace have been remarkably busy. The king and queen were busy with their duties and trying to get the kingdom working efficiently and effectively for the benefit of all. They were so busy that they did not even have time to have their meals together. The only person who was enjoying this was the witch, she enjoyed spending time with Jake even if it was just working and nothing more.What mattered to her was that Sandra was far from Jake, she was busy and not causing trouble. She was also fitting in well in her new role and doing the work for the sake of her kind. “I am going to rest early tonight,” Jake told the witch; he was tired and have been working late. Between the kingdom and trying to help Chad and Damien everything had taken a toll on him.At least he had chosen his kingsmen and had made good progress in the case against Lewis. After some changes have been made some guards came forward and informed him of those still under Lewis’s payroll and those who helped h
The witches were quick to use magic to cover the tyre tracks with leaves and sand making sure all traces of them being there was erased. Just as they finished the first car appeared, they quickly opened a portal, and they left the place. It was the beta of one of the packs working with Lewis and a vampire clan leader of the city who arrived.“I think your people got it wrong, it doesn’t seem like anyone has been here.” Said the vampire leader, he could not smell anything that suggested there were werewolves there or even humans. the witches had done an excellent job in covering everyone’s scent. “Maybe the human’s got it wrong when they said they came this way.” Said the beta.“Or maybe your people can’t tell when they are being lied to.” The beta glared at the vampire but said nothing. “Let’s check inside.” He said but the vampire remained standing next to the truck they came in. it was during the day and could not act like he did during the night using his vampiric speed. But he did
Alpha Tylor was still confused when Claire stood up and pull him out by the hand. “Let me talk to her, I promise I will make her see reason.” Claire said looking at him apologetically. “What happened between her and the hunter?” he asked because he knew the issue had something to do with Derick. “He killed her mate; the witch regent was mated to a wolf and the hunter killed him. She has never forgiven him since; she did not look for him for revenge but swore that she will kill him if ever their paths crossed.” Claire explained,Tylor ran his hand through his hair. Is there no one Derick did not piss of? He wondered. But then again, Derick was only trying to protect his kind, and everyone knows that it is a dog eat dog in this city. “Go talk to her, we need the witches for this.” He said to Claire. She looked back at the house before going towards it.Every step she took felt heavy, she knew how broken the witch regent was when her mate died and now, she was going to convince her to co
“You dare come here after what you did!” the witch spat angrily. Alpha Tylor tried to say something, but the witch could not hear him as she was busy choking him. She dropped him to the ground and watched as Tylor coughed uncontrollably. “I came here to make peace.” He finally said when he stopped coughing.The witch folded her arms on her chest. “Now you come yet you didn’t have the guts to face me when your mate was alive.” Sadness covered Tylor’s eyes before he masked it. “I know I did you wrong Clare and I am sorry for what I did. I was a coward and did not know how to face you after finding my mate.” He admitted.“You should have spoken to me; how do you think I felt when I heard from people that you had found your fated mate after you asked me to be your chosen mate? You should have told me and not leave me like that.” She was still angry, this man asked her to be his chosen mate since it has been years of him searching for his mate and not finding her.They had been seeing each
