And because I insisted, the Alpha King checked us into a grand hotel for the rest of the week. I called Attus several times, texted him, sent emails and snaps. I did all of it, but he still would not reply to any of my messages or pick up my calls. He went completely MIA. I eventually had to beg the Alpha King to call the Castle to ascertain if he was there. But to our chagrin, he was not there. "Why do you ask? Is he not with you?" Attus's mother asked, sounding a bit concerned. The Alpha King froze, and I had to tap him to make up something. "Hello… Are you there?" She was calling out over and over again. "Oh no, Ma. He's perfectly fine, and with me. I just called because his phone battery must have died and he did say that he misses you." He lied weirdly. She sounded not convinced for a bit, then most likely shrugged and ended the call. "Are you that bad at dealing with crisis or…?" I asked, gesticulating in optimum confusion.The Alpha King rolled his eyes at me. "I'm not used
And as I turned to walk back inside, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I would face them with courage and determination, and with the knowledge that I was not alone. For I had Attus and the Alpha King by my side, and together, we were strong enough to face anything. The last day for collection of the Academy certificates, the Alpha King drove me to the academy and waited outside in the car while I went in. Unlike I had planned, because Attus had still been missing then, I had not had the luxury of time to talk with Glenn, Mila, Sophia and Martha. "I'm so sorry, girls. I can't stay. Attus is in trouble, and I have to help Xavier find him… It's a hot plate of agony right now, but it will definitely get better. I am so sorry." I explained sadly as the girls stood to hug me. "Let's go, Martha," I said. "But after this, it is done, Clara. We won't get to see each other probably ever again. We all live so far away and Luna duties are no joke." Glenn said, pouting sadly wit
"I was wondering, Baby, do you want to invite your parents over for your wedding?" the Alpha suddenly asked me out of nowhere. I looked at him with a blank look on my face. "I… I didn't know that it was possible to… To invite them."I replied, feeling sweaty in my underarms and very uncomfortable. If they had withdrawn Becky from school because of me, what was to say that they would not destroy me or at least try if I exposed my location to them. "If you are not comfortable inviting them, that's perfectly fine too. Even though you really have not told me how you ended with Ethan, that bloody swine!" The anger on the Alpha King's face deeply confused me. Was he angry on my account or based on his personal vendetta with him. "The Rogue King?" I asked, stupidly swallowing every two seconds. I could not believe my fate. I was still very unsure whether or not to divulge my parents' wickedness to the world. I felt too ashamed by what my parents had done to me, and I felt like it was my fa
"You signed an NDA? To not disclose what? The details of your courtship and marriage to X? Is that not a little too much?" Attus asked with his eyes squinted and trained on me. "Oh well… HeHe is the Alpha King. It is important that certain aspects of his life like yeh details of his love life, don't make it to the eyes and ears of the public. It's damage control from the get go if you ask me. I buy the idea actually." I said not entirely in defense of the Alpha King, but because I actually understood his reason behind the decision. Attus gave me a weird look and then shrugged." Well, if you are the one in it and you are comfortable, who am I to have a problem with it." And he starts walking away again. I followed him speedily. "Stop this, Attus! You are Attus. You are my friend and you are very important to me. What you think, how you think, that you even think, is of utmost importance to me. So please, let us just get past this and make up." I paused to look at him. "Please…" I be
"If the food is actually not poisoned, then there is no harm in tasting the food, Gamma. Right?" The Alpha King said calmly, looking innocently at his Gamma, apparently hoping that she was indeed innocent, and that it was all just a mix up. Gamma looks up at the Alpha King with hurt in her eyes. I know that it is fake, but nobody else does. "Son X," she started by calling him by the pet name she always had for him from his childhood, just to garner his pity. "I have bathed you, fed you, clothed you from birth. You have pissed on me, pooped on me, and even bitten my breasts at some points in your childhood." She sighed dramatically. "With all due respect, I understand that she is to be the Luna by this time tomorrow, but you have known me for way longer. After everything, you would actually believe that I would poison you on your wedding eve after being so excited about your finally getting married?" "Gamma, I trust you with everything in me. Which is exactly why I insist that you
After we settled down and I laid in the Alpha King's arms feeling sated and gently rubbing his phallus, I decided it was time to talk business and let him in on my findings. "I spoke with Gamma. And yes, she added the castor beans to your food, but she was acting gassed on orders from someone else. She claims not to know who this person is, claiming they only spoke on phone. But some maids attest to seeing someone sneak around With Gamma in the kitchen." I said calmly. "Now this is getting bigger than I'd thought, Baby." The Alpha King said, looking at me with worry on his face. "Yes. It seems like a whole big thing now." I agreed. "I talked to my mom. We cancelled the wedding till further notice." I sat up quickly. "You did what?" I screamed. "And you did not think that that was something to have discussed with me first? Dammit! You are getting married to me, not yourself! So why would you not talk to me about something like this? It is super unfair, Xavier!" I stood up from the
The Alpha King was unsure what to do about his mother's involvement in his poisoning. He called a meeting to discuss with his mother, Attus, Attus's mom, Gamma and myself. I sat quietly, watching events unfold as I was unsure what to do or what to say. I had never seen the Alpha King look so broken. "Why, mother? Tell me why please? I just need a reason. A good enough reason to explain exactly what is going on here…" The Alpha King said to his mother sadly. His mother, the former Luna, sat silently with her head bowed. Gamma spoke up, "Son X, I believe your mother was trying to protect you. She thought that by poisoning you, she could prevent the war from happening and keep you safe."The Alpha King looked at Gamma with a puzzled expression. "What war are you talking about?"Gamma hesitated before replying, "The war between our pack and the neighboring pack. It has been brewing for years, and tensions are high. Your mother believed that by poisoning you, she could prevent you from m
As the night drew to a close, the Alpha King approached me, a smile on his face. "Thank you for everything. Without you, I don't know if I could have become the leader that I am today."I smiled back at him, feeling a sense of pride and joy. "You did this all on your own. I just helped you along the way."The Alpha King shook his head, his eyes filled with gratitude. "No, you helped me more than you'll ever know. You showed me the beauty of the world and helped me rediscover my joy for life. I will never forget that."As we said our goodbyes and made our way back to our own tents, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. We had come so far, and we had achieved so much. And it was all thanks to the power of peace, love, and friendship.As I drifted off to sleep that night, I knew that there would be more challenges in the future. But I also knew that with the Alpha King by my side, we could face anything that came our way.For we had proven that with the power of peace, love, a
