Chapter NineElsa's POVMy heart kept beating very fast as the guard approached the carriage. The footsteps I heard didn't seem to come from just one person and I thought, perhaps, there were even two guards.I was right there at the back of the carriage, exactly where they wanted to check and as soon as they took off the clothes to see the foodstuffs, they'd be met by the surprise of a human wearing a sheepish smile on her face because she knows that she's done for."Open it up," instructed the Luna Queen as soon as the men got to the carriage. "Yes ma'am.""Wait!" I heard a voice scream out from behind and I knew exactly who it was. Maggie; my friend and my guardian angel was there yet again to save me. Only this time, I didn't think it was possible. Being caught was an inevitability, but it was great knowing that she tried her hardest."Greetings to you, my Luna Queen. Greetings, Princess Alina," she began as the guards paused for a moment to hear what she had to say. "I am the on
Chapter TenElsa's POV "Elsa?" Alina screamed as soon as I turned to face her. "What the hell are you doing here? How– How did you get here?" She couldn't believe her eyes. Her maid; the one she dreaded most and did all she could to ensure that she wouldn't leave her room still found a way to do the same thing, despite all of her efforts. It must have stung her harder than a bee. Her face told the whole story. Wide eyes, widened nostrils, open mouth, sweat all over her… they all communicated the same thing; she was mad as hell and I knew she'd be that way. I just hoped it'll be after I had seen Alpha Davon and not before. "I ask again, what on Earth are you doing here, Elsa? Do I have to break your teeth and pull out your tongue before you give me the answer that I seek?" She breathed very heavily; a testament to her fury, and snared at me before turning to her right and screaming. "Guards!" I'd have given her an answer to her question. Truly, I wanted to, but I didn't know exactl
Chapter ElevenAlina's POVI was led to my room by two guards and three maids in the Pack after my encounter with that stupid Elsa. My maids walked behind me, carrying my personal stuff. I couldn't trust anyone else to carry them, even if they had nothing against me.We got to the room and the guards opened the door. The rest of us walked in and the three maids dropped what they came in with and looked to arrange them properly but there was no need for that."Don't worry about that," I said to them, waving them off. "They'll handle it from here. Thank you so much."They bowed, stepped out of the room and walked away with the guards while my maids continued with the arrangement of the bags in the room. I just lay on the bed and began to recall the encounter that I just had and it immediately got me displeased…Very displeased."I didn't know you'd come in so early, Princess Alina. That's why no one was outside waiting."That was the lame excuse that Alpha Davon gave for that shamble of
Chapter TwelveElsa's POVWe got to the room that they called mine and the maids opened the door for us to get in. The guards got in first, dropping the bags that they carried at the right-hand side of the room, just beside the wardrobe. We walked in after them and went straight to the chair, situated right in front of the table which was in the middle end of the room. I sat and the maids stood around me, all wearing a smile. "This is our room," they revealed, which kind of took me by surprise as I didn't have any idea that I was going to have roommates. I must have forgotten that I was just a maid and not some royal lady who was being served by the maids. They only did what they did because the Alpha instructed them to at the time. I was no different from any of them.In a few minutes, the guards got done with arranging my things in the room and signalled to the maids who all turned around and went away with them, leaving just me in the room. I loved everything about the room; th
Chapter Thirteen Alpha Davon's POV "Alpha, the elders are here," Raymond, my Beta, disclosed to me, opening my door after I had asked him to come in. "They are all seated in the throne room awaiting your arrival. What am I to tell them?" "Nothing. Just get in here and sit while I get ready," I answered, slowly getting off my bed and heading to my wardrobe to find the best outfit for the meeting. "I have already had my bath so I don't think I'll take so long. If I do, they'll have to exercise some patience." I grabbed a navy blue pair of trousers and a plain, white shirt and put them on carefully. Yeah, I was late but I wasn't one to be hurried for things like that. I was the Alpha after all. They were supposed to wait for me and not the other way around. I walked across to the area in my room where I usually kept my shoes and picked up a black shoe that I loved wearing for such meetings. It was very casual and had a very strong sole. It was one of my favourite shoes. I put it on
Chapter Fourteen Princess Alina's POV "Mandy, we'll be going to the garden first," I suggested, turning to Mandy who nodded her head in approval. "Let's see if it looks anything like all that has been said about it. " "I believe it'll be that way, Princess. I mean, why not? This place is huge, you know." I laughed as we both headed out of the room and began to make our way to the garden which according to Mandy, wasn't so far off. "I think I saw it on our way to this place. It shouldn't take so much time for us to get there." We left the house and walked into the open space and I breathed in some cool, fresh air. I heard a lot of noise somewhere in front of us and I urged Mandy to quicken her pace so that we could check out what was happening. In just over a minute, we had our answer right in front of us. I turned to Mandy who was already giggling at the sight in front of us. Children…little children were singing and dancing around, playing with one another with so much delight
Chapter Fifteen Elsa's POV "What's going on here?" The man asked again, looking very furious. His breathing was very heavy and he looked ready to punch all of us at the same time. I wanted to talk first but I felt like it was going to be disrespectful to the Princess, so I kept mute and stared at the floor. "These stupid girls dared insult me, Raymond. How dare they? I was only trying to carry out my duties and they decided to be stubborn for no just cause. Ah!" She boiled with anger and I couldn't imagine what went on in her mind as she was telling her lies. It was an outright case of bullying and she knew it. She just felt the need to push the blame onto us because she could. "Won't you say something?" Wolf asked, giving me a little nudge. I couldn't understand why he'd be that stupid. We were simply commoners and nothing we would say would ever mean anything at all. "Is that why you all had to make that sort of noise?" The man asked, motioning to Abigail to stand to her fee
Chapter SixteenAlpha Davon's POV"The day that I came into the Pack, you asked me why I made my way here and I only told you one of the reasons," Elsa began to explain, slightly bowing her head, probably due to fear. She did her best to avoid any form of eye contact and I didn't make it any easier for her by ensuring that I had my eyes on her all the time."So what is it?" I asked her, adjusting myself so I could pay keen attention to her for a better understanding of whatever she had to say."It started on that fateful night when you saved me from those wolves that were after my life. I remember being unable to leave your side despite your warnings. It wasn't just me. Something was fighting me from within from making my way out of that place."I could remember what happened that night more clearly than earlier when we met. She had even offered to join me back to my Pack but there was no way I could have given consent to that request. She was a stranger and I couldn't afford to brin
Chapter Hundred and EightElsa's POVI ran to where they were and stabbed him in the back with my dagger, causing him to yell. "Get on with the fight, Dad," I urged him, seeing that he got distracted by my decision to fight Murray. "I can handle this.""What is this?" Murray asked, looking surprised. "Why won't you let me fulfil my destiny? You know that you can't beat me, right?""You think so?" I raised my right brow."I didn't think that you'd be here, Elsa. I felt you'd be inside with your child in your belly or your arms," he explained. "I have not stopped loving you and I'd hate to kill you. Step away or you'll leave me no choice but to take your life.""You can try," I chuckled, gripping my knife very strongly. "I taught you everything you know, Elsa. Without me, you'd have been nothing," he reminded me. "Now, I didn't teach you everything I know. Just the ones I felt you should. I'll teach you now. I'll make you learn by experience. Some things are better learned that way."H
Chapter Hundred and SevenElsa's POV"Where's my baby? Let me have my baby," I said to the Pack nurse as she stood over me. "You'll have her soon, my Queen," she calmly replied. "He's being cleaned up by the maids."I stared at the ceiling feeling so exhausted. The pain that I felt and the energy I had to muster during my baby's childbirth had begun to take a huge toll on me. "Did you just say, 'He?'" I asked, as it suddenly struck me that she was referring to my child as a boy."Yes, my Queen. It's a baby boy and he looks so handsome," she gushed."Oh. Here he is," she said as one of the maids walked to my bed with my child in her hands.I managed to sit up with my back pressed against the wall for support and the maid handed my baby over to me. He was beautiful; so beautiful that I felt a few tears drop from my eyes as I stared at him. He had blue eyes, just like his father and he took my hair. My boy was a blondie. I bent and kissed him on the forehead, very happy to have him.
Chapter Hundred And SixMurray's POV"Hold," I screamed at my men as we got very close to the borders of the Stronghold Pack. I had sent three of our men to head over to the borders to find out what was going on and they were yet to return. So, I felt the need to hold on until they did, instead of rushing in blindly. I paused to look at the army that I had with me. I had managed to convince two other Rogue Kings to join us with their warriors in our quest to take Davon out. It wasn't that easy as they didn't trust me at first. Just like Alpha Grim, they thought that I had come to lead them to their demise and if Alpha Grim didn't intervene, they'd never have joined us. They weren't that large but with more than 15 carriages full of our combined warriors, I had no doubts that we were going to overwhelm them with ease. I also believed that the Rogues and I were the perfect match. I had trained the Rogues in my Pack for several months and I knew they were ready. But more than that, t
Chapter Hundred and FiveAlpha Davon's POV"The men from the Runway Pack have arrived, Alpha," one of the guards said to me as he rushed into the throne room. "Is Alpha Duncan with them?" I asked the guard but he just gawked at me, looking very clueless. "I'm sorry, I didn't look, " he confessed. "I just ran here as soon as I saw their carriage approaching the borders.""Thank you."I stood, headed out of the throne room and began to make my way to the borders. I wanted to welcome Alpha Duncan myself. I felt it would mean a lot to him if I did that, and encourage his people to give their all in the fight.I was a few metres away from the Pack Square when I saw them approaching. They were massive; even more than I had expected them to be. I tried to count but stopped when I was at ten carriages, only because they had gotten to where I stood and came to a halt. So I had to give my attention to the Alpha King who was making his way out of his carriage to meet up with me. "Greetings,
Chapter Hundred And FourAlpha Davon's POVEight Months Later"Alpha, we've got a letter," a guard walked into the throne room with a piece of paper in his hand. Two other guards walked in with him and just stood beside the door as he approached me with the paper. "From whom?" I asked, stretching my hand to take the paper from him. "My apologies, my Alpha. Good morning, Sir," he greeted. The urgency of what he had seemed to have caused him to forget that he was to greet me once he saw me. The other guards with him also did the same. They all bowed and greeted as they ought.I just nodded curtly and went back to my question. "Where did you get this from?" I asked again. "It was delivered to us by a Rogue. He came to us with a white flag and when we asked him to approach us, he came to us and handed the paper over to us. He said it came from your brother…""It came from Murray?" I asked in shock."Yes, Sir. It did."As I stared at the paper, I wondered what he wanted this time. We ha
Chapter Hundred and ThreeElsa's POV"My Queen, you're awake," Abigail remarked as my eyes opened slowly. I turned to my left and saw her holding onto my left hand with tears in her eyes and I wondered what happened to me. There were others in the room; the Pack nurse and two of her trainees. One of the guards was there too. They all had their gazes fixed on me when I woke up and it felt so overwhelming. Slowly, I began to recall what had happened. I remembered how I was talking to Abigail close to the garden before I felt weak and my eyes got hazy. It became clear to me exactly what had happened to me…I had fallen to the ground, unconscious. That must have been why I found myself in my room with no knowledge of how I got there. What I couldn't tell was what caused me to lose consciousness in the first place. "What happened?" I asked, trying in vain to sit up. "You must relax, my Queen," Abigail said, seeing that I struggled to get up. "You don't need to exert yourself at the mo
Chapter Hundred And TwoElsa's POVThree Months Later"It's morning again," I sighed as I slowly opened my eyes. I yawned and then sat up on the bed to stretch. The previous night was a very busy one as I had to put a few foodstuffs together so that I could send them across to my mother. It was exhausting, yet it was worth it.I looked to my side and Davon was still fast asleep, even though he went to bed much earlier than I did. I thought he was beginning to get too lazy."Get up, sleepy head," I teased him, shaking him a few times to awaken him from his slumber. "It's morning already. Didn't you say that you had a meeting to attend?"He grudgingly turned as he stretched, yawning so loudly that I wondered how he became that tired. He finally got himself to sit up and he just stared at me like he was going to hit me. It was so funny. "You should have just let me sleep a little more, honey. The meeting is not until another hour," he protested. "You just didn't want to watch me enjoy
Chapter Hundred and OneElsa's POV"We got in as soon as we heard what happened, dad," I said, walking into the throne room alongside my husband. A few elders were already seated there when we walked into the place. My mother was there too. She sat on a sofa just opposite the elders and I didn't expect to see her there. I felt she'd be right next to my father instead. The previous night, news was sent to us that Melissa and Alina had broken out of their cells. We were told that they managed to get out despite the presence of several guards who were stationed in front of their cells in the dungeon and I couldn't help but feel surprised. I had thought something like that couldn't happen, especially because it had never happened before. Somehow, Melissa and her daughter were able to do the impossible. Davon suggested that we wait till the next morning before making our way to yeh Pack but I swiftly objected to that. I wanted to get to the root of the matter, especially since I was th
Chapter HundredAlina's POVAs we got off the carriage after arriving at the Rogue Pack, I looked around at my new surroundings and it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. For sure, it was nothing compared to the Runway Pack. The brown leaves on the floor left a lot to be desired. The flowers grew wildly, no one bothered to trim them, but as I walked past them with my mom by my side, those were the least of my problems. I wondered how Murray was going to take the loss of his dear Mandy. I had lied to the other guards that she was killed by one of the guards in the Runway Pack. The good thing was that I didn't pull out the knife that I used to kill her and it belonged to Ronnie. Nothing about her death pointed to me, except that I was supposedly with her when it happened. Well, I shut off those thoughts as we continued to make our way to the throne room. I wanted to know what it looked like. "It must be the size of a mushroom," I laughed in my mind. Yet, I knew not to write it off, s
