Chapter Forty-Three Alpha Davon's POV I couldn't believe my eyes as I opened the door to Murray's room. I could have just knocked but I had this habit of walking into his room just like that. It was always fun. I just never expected to see something like that. "What's going on here?" I asked as I saw Princess Alina's maid, Mandy, on his bed with both of them sweating profusely. They just finished having sex. It was so glaring and there was no denying it. I couldn't understand why he'd bed the maid, especially since she wasn't from our Pack and was only here because of the Princess. "Greetings, Al–Alpha Davon," she stuttered, surprised to see me, which was normal. "Get out!" I yelled at her, as she quickly jumped out of bed and began to walk away from the room in a hurry. I didn't even care how my brother would feel about me sending his guest away from his room but I didn't care. We had other important things to talk about and I wasn't particularly happy with what I saw. P
Chapter Forty-Four Prince Murray's POV The day of the wedding drew even closer and there was still no sign of Stam, my best friend, whom I had been expecting for quite a while. He was supposed to go handle a few things and the time that I needed those things was fast approaching, yet he was nowhere to be found. As I made my way back to the room from the kitchen, after checking in on the maids and cooks, I recalled what happened the previous day and it sent chills down my spine. I knew that my brother liked Elsa. I knew just how much he liked her, even more than he liked the woman he was about to get married to. It was the reason why I went to Elsa in the first place. "What if he reveals what he saw in my room to her?" I asked myself on getting to my door. "It'll surely ruin everything." I walked into my room and shut the door. Then I walked inside, stopping just in front of the window so that I could look outside as I thought about what to do next. I wondered if it was going
Chapter Forty-Five Elsa's POV "Has Prince Murray said anything to you yet?" Aby asked, with a cheeky smile on her face. "I don't know what you're talking about. Anything about what exactly?" "Don't be silly, Elsa. You know what I'm talking about. Has he asked you to be with him or anything like that? Even though he's a Prince, it's also possible that he's just shy. He might not have the confidence to say something like that to a very beautiful damsel like you but for sure, he should have made a move somehow. Maybe by the way he'll act towards you and just through any other hint that he could give. Have you not noticed any of that?" I just shook my head and continued cutting the onion which was in front of me. Aby was always relentless. She seemed more interested in Prince Murray's likeness of me than even me. She tugged on my dress a few times, trying to get my attention but I was having none of it. I wasn't even comfortable talking about Prince Murray in the presence of the oth
Chapter Forty-Six Alpha Davon's POV "What's going on here?" I asked, holding onto Princess Alina's hand as she tried to hit Elsa. Earlier on, I lay on my bed, about to have a little nap when I felt something burning in my chest. The more I tried to fight it off, the stronger it was and the pain was a lot. I wondered what it could have been because I had never experienced something like that. It was a whole new feeling and I was alright not so long ago. I decided to find out what the issue was and so I got up from the bed, put on my footwear and away I went out of the room and into the hallway, not knowing where exactly to go. I just knew something was wrong. I remembered what my dad always said to me when he was still alive. "Trust your instincts. Follow your guts. Let your heart guide you," he'd always say to me and it was a principle that he always followed. I decided to try it out so I just walked in the direction that I felt that I needed to, hoping to find some form of a c
Chapter Forty-Seven Princess Alina's POV I couldn't believe what I just heard from Alpha Lucius so I drew close to him, just to make sure that I heard correctly. Everywhere was silent. All the cooks in the kitchen and the maids that cleaned up the place went mute, all staring at us with their mouths agape. They were as surprised as I was and I was certain that Elsa and her useless talkative friend were having the time of their lives. "You don't mean it, do you?" I asked, hoping it was just a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing. You know, something like an angry outburst of sorts, but his silence proved otherwise. "You can't possibly be saying we can't go ahead with our wedding because– because of this girl. Come on, Davon. What has come over you?" He shook his head and brushed past me with his shoulders, making his way down to his room as I followed him immediately. "Please, don't follow me. I'm not changing my mind about this," he said to me as he continued walking but that w
Chapter Forty-Eight Alpha Davon's POV I walked out of my room enraged as Princess Alina kept yelling at raining curses at me. None of that mattered to me anyway. I had made up my mind about her. She kept ranting about how unfairly I had treated her and in all honesty, I couldn't even deny that. No one would have been happy to be brought from her Pack, only to be rejected. However, if only I had known the kind of person that she was, I'd have never brought her to get married to me. She looked nothing like what I sought but there was someone who did. I didn't think her threats were of any importance either. It was just all talk and nothing more than that. There was just so little that she could do and so much that I could do. I was done with her for sure but I knew that it was never going to be that easy putting her away. I had to at least inform the elders and I didn't know what their reaction was going to be. "I'll find out though," I said to myself. "First, I have a girl to ask
Chapter Forty-Nine Prince Murray's POV I got back to my room after spending some time outside, thinking of the implication of the things that I heard. The news had already spread like wildfire all over the Pack that my brother doesn't want to go on with his marriage to Princess Alina but I didn't hear why. It was very surprising to me. The wedding was almost there and while I knew that he wasn't so keen on getting married to her, I didn't think he'd call it off; not after taking the stress of bringing her to the Pack. I shut my door and went straight to the bed, lying on it so I could think properly. Not getting married to the Princess meant that my brother was free to marry someone else and knowing how fond of Elsa he was, I began to wonder if he was already thinking in that direction. I was never going to allow that to happen. Elsa was mine and no one else's. All I had to do was to get her to say yes to me and I had to act very quickly before it'd be too late. I was only a p
Chapter Fifty Alpha Davon's POV "I see there's no talking you out of this decision of yours, Alpha Davon," Raymond said to me, shaking his head in disappointment. It was good that he had resigned to the inevitable as there was very little need to try to change my mind. The only thing that we had to talk about was the way forward, especially since Elsa wasn't keen on being together with me because my brother had already asked her out. I thought it would be bad for me to try changing her mind after knowing that Murray wanted her, but I still knew that it was going to be very difficult for me to refrain from trying harder. Not with the way that I felt about her. Just the mere thought of her sent sweet chills to my spine and jolted for happiness right in my brain. The more time passed, the stronger my inclination to make my move once again. I just hoped my brother would understand. Besides, he already had stuff with Mandy too. "I love somebody else," I said to Raymond, who stared
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
