"Your Highness, we've arrived at the Vail pack."
Dylan had said to his guys that he wanted to take a nap, that he should be woken when they get to the pack.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. This was the first time he would be here. He didn't know why his father would insist on coming to this pack every time. It wasn't a big pack, so he didn't see what was worth coming.
As they drove to the Pack house, he saw an old woman crying a girl in her arms. This made him wonder why it would be so.
Looking at the girl in her hands, even though they were not so close, he still knows that she wasn't a child.
That picture brought a stir to his heart and he didn't know why.
"Stop," he said all of a sudden.
His beta Luc looked at him.
"Your Highness?" He called.
"Stop the car," he said.
Then the car stopped immediately.
"Are you alright, your Highness?" His Beta asked him.
" Get down, go see if the girl that old woman is carrying is dead" he said with a bland voice.
The Beta got down, and at first he didn't see the old woman he was talking about but when he looked, he saw the old woman walking slowly.
He then ran to them.
The old woman, seeing him running towards her, had a bit of fear in her heart.
When she saw the car pass by them, she knew it might be the lycan King arriving but then this King seemed to be different from the one who did come. He didn't come in convoys as usual.
"Ma'am" the Beta said when he got there.
The old woman could only bend her neck slightly.
"His Highness wants to know whether she is alright," he said.
"She is fine......."
The old woman started to say but was interrupted by Selena's crying voice.
"It hurts..... I'm gonna die" she cried out.
Her eyes were tightly closed. It was as if she didn't know that she was even talking.
The Beta could see the pain in her furrowed face and he had pity on her.
"Do you need me to help you to the hospital?" He asked.
The old woman shook her head and gave a sad face.
"It's not something doctors can treat. It will wear out soon" she replied.
The Beta looked at her for a while before he nodded. Even though he wanted to help, it was something he couldn't do without the King's order.
"Take care ma'am" he then returned to his King.
" She's not dead but sick" he relayed.
"Okay" Dylan said.
His Beta looked at him, thinking he would say more but then he didn't.
"Do you want me to go help them to the hospital?" He asked.
" No," Dylan said.
His beta looked at him strangely. He didn't know why he bothered to stop when he wasn't ready to help.
"Drive," he said to the driver.
Getting to the venue, everyone was already dancing and eating. Immediately his presence was announced, everyone stopped.
Marcus ran forward and bared his neck. "Your Highness," he said. He didn't know who the king was because none here was dressed like a King. Then the King's Beta moved aside to let them see the King properly. Gasps went everywhere as Dylan showed up. Unlike the former King, he was almost towering over all the male there. He was an evidence that he has spent most of his time in the gym building his abs. He wasn't wearing too much clothing. Just a white shirt that wasn't buttoned up but revealed some of his chest. A gold chain was sparking right on it. He wore a blue jean with a pair of white sneakers. Looking at him, some ladies were already drooling, if not swooning. The worst part was that his face was looking quite feminine. So beautiful. If he was dressed like a female, he would definitely be mistaken for a giant female. "He's so handsome" some ladies couldn't help but say. Some even brought out their phone to take pictures of him but then they were warned by the guards.
Dylan brought out his phone. "See. This is exactly what I want my new room to be like and I'm giving you just twelve hours" he said. Marcus' eyes widened as he saw the picture on his phone. He felt like he was about to be sentenced to death by hanging. Everything in the room that was in the picture he was staring at looked only befitting for a wealthy King. Not them. Their pack was a small and not wealthy one. How could they get such luxuries in the next twelve hours? If they spend so much just for a room, they will have to suffer for months. "Your Highness...... This is too much for us to afford" Marcus said like he wanted to cry. " Then you are so incapable," Dylan said blankly. " We are but a small pack......" "Not of my business Alpha. Get it done" he said and lifted his leg to leave but he was stopped again. "The picture," Marcus said. Dylan didn't reply, he just walked out. "I will get it across to you." It was Lucius, Dylan's Beta that replied and quickly followed h
Dylan was eating when this delicious smell made him freeze. Since his existence, he has never smelt something so delicious that it got his heart beating fast. He turned slowly to the direction where the smell came from. He then saw a very weak looking female head bowed and talking to herself. He watched her vigorously. He was surprised at her beauty when she finally lifted up her head. "Mine" his wolf growled. That realisation got him frightened that he stood there static. Then he also heard his Beta say, "mine " too and that got him more confused. Dylan never heard that an Alpha and his beta shared mate. The female looked at them wide eyed and fell to the ground. Dylan looked at his Beta shocked. His Beta also looked at him. He then stood and went to the fallen female. Dylan's wolf, Ryan, was really disturbed. He felt like grabbing his beta and flung him out but Dylan and Lucius have known each other for a long time. Dylan sat there watching what was going to happen. "Ma'
"Sir, we can't get the black colour for the phone stand." It was Marcus that was calling. " Should we get another?" Lucius related the message to Dylan. " I want black" Dylan said. "No" Lucius related back on the phone and ended the call. Selena then remembered that her sister and her former mate were having a wedding which was supposed to be traced by the Lycan King. “Why is he here?" She asked in her heart. … … … Back at the pack house. The wedding has been ruined because now everyone was running helter skelter to make sure that what the lycan King demanded is very much accomplished. They all couldn't stop cursing at Selena for doing this to them as if she was the Lycan King. "Where is that witch?" Hyrene shouted furiously. "Luna, she's been carried away by your grandmother," one of the guards replied. " Get her for me!" She roared that everyone in the building got scared. The guard ran out. "That fool shouldn't be anywhere happy while my wedding is being ruined!"
Dylan didn't return to the pack house to sleep. He had stayed in the restaurant like that. Lucius wasn't so pleased at his decision but what then could he do? Selena when she saw that the sky was already grey, she didn't know if the Alpha King wanted to sleep there but then she still dragged her grandmother's bed outside. It was a big one but she and her grandmother carried it. Lucius, when he saw them, ran to them and helped them. He didn't know where they were taking it to but then he still helped them. Selena ran inside and brought the bedspread and the quilt. "Your Highness, I know this is not what you are used to but then we are poor and couldn't afford hosting a royal. But trust me this bed is neat and you won't be infested by anything" she rushed out. Lucius looked at her. " Why are you saying this?" He asked. "Em...... You can take a nap before you leave" she said. Lucius looked at the bed. He didn't think it was a good idea to lie on such an old mattress. "Ok" he

Hyrene too had come to greet the King. She didn't get a chance to see him before he left yesterday. "Your Highness, this is my Luna, Hyrene" Marcus said with a smile. Dylan didn't even take a look at the Luna. "Is my room ready?" He asked. "Yes your Highness" Marcus said. Hyrene was very sad at the way she was ignored. She felt so ashamed. By the time Dylan got to the room prepared for him, he looked at him with a haughty look. "Manageable" he said. Marcus and his Beta, Farrell sighed in relief. Dylan went straight to the bathroom. "Your room is already prepared, Sir," Farrell said to Lucius. " Thanks, I will see it in a moment," he said. With this they all left, leaving Lucius. Dylan didn't go to the pack hall until it was dinner time. They had offered him breakfast and lunch but he told them he already had breakfast and he was not interested in lunch. He saw that Selena was the one doing all the runaround. She was looking a bit better than before. He eyed the food on
After making the food, she slowly walked to the King's room. "You can't blame the girl totally" Lucius' voice came. " Why? It's her fault not mine" Dylan said in anger. " Your Highness, she is a timid girl and you know she's not feeling too fine" Lucius defended. Dylan glared at Lucius. He didn't like the way he was taking her side. Selena not wanting to hear anymore knocked. "Who's there?" Lucius asked. "Selena," she replied. " Come in," he said. " Why?" Dylan glared at him. Lucius just shrugs. "Please sir, I need your help. My hands are full" Selena said. Lucius quickly went to the door and opened it. And the aroma of the food mixed with the delicious smell of its carrier hit Dylan's nose. He inhaled a whole chunk of air and exhaled slowly. He forced himself not to smile. "I'm sorry to disturb you," Selena said softly. " No problem. Come on in" Lucius said with a smile. Selena nodded and walked in with the big tray in her hands. Her heart skipped when she saw Dylan
" Dylan, you have to return home," Luka said to him. Now he was looking really good. Although he hasn't recovered because his wolf was still weak. Dylan had taken it upon himself to take good care of his brother and he succeeded. And just within a month he was looking so good. After Dylan's wedding, he had left the pack claiming that his brother who was the rightful person to the Alpha King had already arrived. Luka tried to talk him out of it but Dylan was so adamant. "You are supposed to be the king, not me," he said to Luka. "Dylan, I know but then I'm weak. A weak king can't lead. People see you as their deity now. You can't leave the pack stranded. People will take over,"Luka said. Now he's been married for three months and yet he has refused to go back home. He, Selena and Lucius had gone to one of the pack's Dylan had invested in. "Luka it is your responsibility and I won't do it for you" Dylan disagreed. Luka had come to persuade him but he wouldn't bulge. Selena came o
All through their return to the palace, Andrea was looking angrily at Selena. At some point she tried to attack her but the silver chain held her down. Dylan's father was the saddest of them all but none knew. He kept blaming himself for adopting a demon like Andrea. "After everything we've done for you, you still paid us with so much evil" Dylan's mother cried when they were back at the palace. The woman was crying bitterly and seeing the woman crying Andrea also cried. She didn't know that this was going to be the ending of all that she had done. The family had really treated her like their own daughter. Yes she was really bad to them. "I'm sorry" she said crying. Dylan's father glared at Andrea. “If I had known you are such a monster, I wouldn't have adopted you," he said before turning to his wife. “I'm sorry for bringing a demon home," he said as tears strolled down his cheek. No one had ever seen Dylan's father cry but this time he even cried more than everyone. He felt li
"I can't hear you well, '' Dylan said with squinted eyes. His body was already vibrating. Everyone was already scanning the room to see Andrea but they discovered that she had escaped. "When I saw her helping me, I was so happy and I told her that there was no monster in this place, only assassins. I even told her that you were not here because she was the one who called me that you went to Meribaa but all of a sudden she changed and striked me. I was still in shock when she had someone to tie me up. I kept shouting, asking her why she was doing what she did......" Luka paused and sighed. " What did she say?" Dylan's mother asked. " She said she hated to be my mate. She said she only wanted Dylan and she would get him. She said she would make him the Alpha King, that I do not deserve it. I pleaded with that I would make Dylan marry her but she wouldn't listen. I watched her as she removed my clothes, poured a chemical on one of the dead bodies that looked like my statue after clawi
Everyone looked at Selena as she ran to the monster they were trying to pull. Dylan, afraid that she would hurt herself, followed her. "What are you doing?" Dylan asked her. "Wait" she said to him. She moved closer to the monster and touched its damp body. The monster looked at her. It didn't even sneer as a normal monster should do. Selena could feel the dampness of its body and she thought something was not right. "Is there a swamp at Meribaa?" She asked. " Yes, a big one," Dylan replied. Now Selena was beginning to get what was going on. "Give me a hammer" she ordered. Lucius didn't even allow her to land before he sent someone to go get the hammer. He knew if he didn't do that there would not be anyone that would answer her because they thought she was crazy for touching a monster. They were all watching her like she was performing some magic. The hammer came and Selena hit the hammer on the monster. Then a cracking sound came. She hit it again and part of it fell to the gr
Dylan's father was still confused about what was happening. He knew that his son told him that he has no tail but now he has twelve. There were a lot of questions he needed to ask his son. People began to murmur in acknowledgement to what the Alpha King's father was saying. They felt the person who just wasted their time needed to be brought to justice. The elders who were threatened were so scared of talking because they knew that they would be exposed. Andrea, when she heard Dylan's father ask that question, her heart was beating so fast. She knew that she was about to get into trouble. She didn't know how Dylan got twelve tails all of a sudden. She knew that there was a mystery to it. She did not want to think about it because right now, it was saving her life that is more important. "Alpha, it is......" Dylan didn't allow him to talk. " I do not care about whoever told you. I just want to get out of this place" he shunted. He didn't want to expose Andrea to everyone. His eyes
People wondered what those two were saying to each other. They expected Dylan to come out with a frown or a sad face but he looked as calm as ever. Then some people started to doubt if he truly didn't have a wolf. They expected someone who is about to be disgraced and dethroned should be sorrowful. Dylan sat down on his throne and surprisingly he made Selena sit beside him. Selena didn't want to do this but Dylan wouldn't leave her. Frown wasn't only in the eyes of the council of elders but also some people from the pack. They felt that she was not yet the Luna Queen and she was seated in front of them like she was. While some didn't even see it as a big deal. Some even commented that it was Selena's beauty that made the Alpha King fall for her. As usual, elder Zinli was the one who came forward when Dylan was fully seated to start the questioning. "We all know the reason we are all gathered here so I wouldn't beat around the bush" he paused looking at the crowd before he continued.
For two days straight, Dylan was fighting the rogues. The news had spread out that the Alpha King lost his tail so the rogues wanted to see if they could take over the pack. Other packs too were already preparing but they were waiting for the time the Alpha King would step down. They all knew that Dylan was the most powerful king that has ever reigned. Nothing could defeat him, so their thinking was that he just lost his tail. Those rogues that came regretted their very action because Dylan poured out all his anger on them. He wasn't even showing them mercy at all. He made a tent at the bother and waited for those coming to attack his pack. For two days he didn't return to hi6me. All he just did was talk to Selena on the phone. He didn't even talk to his parents. It was Lucius that was talking to his parents. While they were there, he was making plans with Lucius on what pack to go to when he steps down. The rogues have left but Dylan didn't return home. He just didn't want to see t
She got dressed and decided to go back to her room but on her way to her room, she met Andrea. She wasn't looking so happy. She wanted to move closer to Selena but Selena gave her a smile, then pulled out a peach coloured handkerchief and wiped her face. Andrea quickly moved back, glaring at Selena. "I wouldn't kill you doesn't mean I will let you get close to me" Selena said. " Your days will soon be over" Andrea said between gritted teeth. Selena looked at her and walked away without saying anything. She knew she had to be careful in the palace. Dylan at the other end sat on his throne looking at the elders. He didn't acknowledge any. He had intentionally kept them waiting. He didn't even rush to do anything he was doing. Dylan's father was also seated. He also was quite tired of the council. When he saw his son approach he was just praying that he had found a solution to whatever was happening to him. Although in his heart, he knew that his prayers were futile. Even the person
"Continue talking," Dylan said to Farell who nodded. "I have been cleaning my office since I became the Alpha and then I stumbled upon some things," he said and brought out a file from his bag. He handed it to Dylan. Dylan opened the file carefully and in it he saw the letter filled with blood. It was like blood had splashed on it. Selena who was beside him tried to see what was in there and he showed her. She was shocked at what she saw. After she was done reading, she passed the paper to Lucius. Lucius wasn't surprised he just snorted. Then in the file was a recorder and video camera. Dylan played the recorder first and Andrea's voice came out of the recorder. Then followed by Willy's voice. Then after the video. It was the exact video that the elders played. There wasn't even a colour difference. Dylan didn't even know what to say. They just got to know that Andrea was the one who asked Willy to follow Dylan about and Willy captured the scene where Dylan came out in his wolf an
