Peter POV.
"I remember giving a strict order that extra charges won't be collected from outsiders who come to trade their goods. Why I'm I hearing that they have to pay thirty percent extra charges to run their business", I asked in a thunderous tone as I walked through the market.
"The thing is, the finance minister said that's the only way to earn more revenue for us. They have no choice but to sell their material here, in the imperial market and we should take advantage of it" the guard said and I growl inwardly.
Calming myself as I walk through the market, I had been planning a new system for the market management to help outside vendors but then I smelt it, the most beautiful scent I've ever perceived.
'Mate', Kyle, my wolf growled, I froze in my path for a minute and looked at the path the scent was coming from.
"Need I remind you Kyle, we don't have a mate, remember all what happened in the past; women are selfish, envious blood sucking creatures, they don't care about you as long as you please their every desire, yoi remember what happened with Cecelia, not our best time, you caugth a scent doesn't mean its mate, don't put your hopes up", I said and he argued.
'Follow mate, Go after mate', he said before trying to force his way out showing his dissatisfaction as I relented in going after the so called "mate".
"Kyle", I shouted and he snarled back at me.
Going after the scent to avoid any more fight between the both of us, walked a few distance and the scent faded away and there was no sign of her, making kyle growl the more.
This is strange, she definitely must have caught my scent too, did she not know I an the king and alpha of the mountain wolves?, or perhaps she is playing hard to get?, well nevertheless when I find her she is gonna pay dearly.
"King peter", Patrick called me out of my thought.
"What is it Patrick?, I've only left the palace for a few hours and now you are here to drag me back, or you probably miss me huh?", I said in hopes of making him laugh.
"Ha ha ha, I wish I had that time to waste, come now, your sister is wounded and she wants to see you" he said and I raised my brows slightly before rushing down to the palace.
"Where is she Patrick", I growled as I entered the palace.
"She's at the medical room resting" he said and I rushed.
"Alice", my eyes softens as I see her lay on the the bed with her hands around her stomach bump.
"Brother", she whimpered and it was a enough to break my heart.
Hugging her softly and examining her body, her wounds were healing slowly and she was very weak.
"Give me a name Alice, all I need is a name and watch me demonstrate why no one should mess with the mountain wolves", I said with so much anger and every one around went cold.
"Brother, what happened exactly is, I went shopping with one of the guards as you already know, after shopping we were coming back where out of nowhere some rogues attacked our car and then killed the guard. I fled the scene to save my self but I couldn't run for long, they caught up to me and humiliated me. They dragged me by my hair and--"
I growled hearing what she had to go through and she sighed heavily.
"Anyways, I was pretty sure I was gonna pay a permanent visit to the moon goddess today but someone, out of nowhere threw a silver dagger that instantly killed the guy holding my hair.
And in a blink of an eye she wiped out the rest of the rogues like they were nothing, while leaving the rest dead, she picked one and gave him a message to their boss before she made him unconscious", she said and I squint my brows and looked at Patrick who shrugged his shoulders.
"So, did she ask for anything, Land, Jewelry, Royal support, anything materialistic?", I asked and Alice rolled her eyes.
"I knew you would say that but that's not the case brother, she didn't even ask for a penny, all she wanted was to make sure I was safe and then leave. She doesn't like the royals and now she hates us mountain wolves thanks to the way Patrick treated her" she said and I looked at Patrick who is now frightened.
"Well brother you didn't see the way she fought, she was like a warrior moon goddess, I have never met a female werewolf so cool and majestic". Alice said with a dreamy look.
"A werewolf?", i said with a great shook.
"She brought Alice in her hands, bridal style. I asked her to stay that we'll compensate her for her goodness but she denied it, saying she only helped her because she was pregnant". Patrick said and I was more than willing to meet this mysterious wolf.
"From all what you have told me it seems like she despise mountain wolves talkless of royals or is it a way to gain our attention?" I asked.
"Well that's because Patrick insulted her and in the few moment I spent with her, you'd know she's a prideful lady. I don't know if she has a past offender of rouges but she said something to the rogue she kept conscious. She said when anyone asks you who did it, tell them the white wolf did", she said and Patrick who was drinking some juice coughed before looking at me.
"White wolf, she's the white wolf?, I don't know if you know but rumor has it that she has killed more than three hundred rogues alone", Patrick said and Alice eyes widened.
"So in summary a girls comes and save Alice from the claws of the rogues, that I am grateful for. However this girl tells a rogue to tell anyone who asks him that the white wolf did it. She is definitely a rogue her self but she doesn't smell like one and she doesn't like royal" I said and both Alice and Patrick nodded to my summary.
"Well I don't know who this white wolf is and why she has killed more than 300 rogues but its game over for her. Patrick put some guards out to search for her and make sure the best guards are protecting my sister", I gave the order she still thinking about this mysterious wolf.
Malina POV "Sophia Hale, what is the meaning of your new post?, I clearly remembered that I told you to get rid of this social media nonsense, didn't I?". I asked sophia over the phone as I sat in a cab headed for the council chamber. "Well I'm glad there is still something that can draw your attention to make you contact me". She said and I sighed, lookinging at the social post one more time and returned to the call. "Why would you say something like that, you know I love you even if I don't call you, and I happen to know happening around you, your baby just kicked recently right" I asked and she gasped. "Liam, that traitor, both of you have been discussing behind my back", she said and I laughed as I listen to her describing how things have been with the baby. "Babe you know I love and care for you right". I asked and she scoffed. "Well if you love me, you would tell me all your plan and everything that's been going on with you. All I've been hearing is how you've been wipi
Malina POV. "You! Stop there or I will shoot you", the guard said as I ran towards the backyard, focusing my ear trying to figure out where the rogues are. "Boss, I her them shouting. Are we still safex, the guy in black said. "Don't worry about it, they won't come here, probably someone else, its an everyday thing", the other guy said with the confidence. Haha, damn he's right, this might be an everyday thing but today is the day you get caught for you dirty act. Sighing at their voices, I looked behind me before dodging a dagger shot at me. Come on, is this how they really stop offenders, I thought to myself before shaking my hrad at their tactics. 'You know, you could just go in and tell them about the rogues', ashley said and I scoffed. "Didn't you hear the rogues, they said they have been doing this for a long time and I'm guessing they are a pro at it and they will definitely have an escape route, what if they have someone on the inside that gives them information", I s
Malina pov "Are you sure about it.", Gerald asked me and I gave him the 'look' before I rolled my eyes. It happened a few minutes ago while we were having coffee and the so called snacks, when I had another vision. However this time it looked like something that would happen few hours from now.This new found power of mine has turned me into someone that can predict the future, well at the moment I am already predicting adverse things, maybe In the future I might as well predict favorable things, well its just a thought, but deep down I wanted to predict something good. "Malina dear, I'm asking again, are you sure about it", Gerald asked again and I nodded. "Absolutely, I saw it in my vision", I said before coughing, realizing my mistake. "I'm sure, I saw it with my eyes. I heard a few rogues chat before I took them down because they were being indecent. There is a rogue pact that is going to arrive in Cantele river side soon. I think you should deploy some of your guards there,
Malina POV "Woah! Woah!!, where go you think you are touching", I said as I pushed the king back. "Just because you are the king doesn't mean you can get all touchy with me", I said as I walk out of the room as he stood still. 'Did you feel it Malina, I felt different when he touched you, that spark lit for a moment'. She said and I rolled my eyes. 'Don't get started Ashley', I said to Ashley, just to suppress voice and thought because I know where she was going exactly. Truth be told, for a moment when he held me, I felt this weird sensation in my body, this is the first time it has happened since Kane but while he held me, its just felt right, like I belonged there with him. Wait!, what the hell is going on with my thought, I can't just feel nice just because a random king held me in his arms. Maybe its because he is a king, and just like every she-wolf, my wolf craves power, that's definitely the answer, I thought to myself. "Malina, aren't you coming". Gerald called. Ma
Peter POV She's different, that's the only thing my wolf has been saying since we met her, 'our so-called mate'.I had never thought I'd meet my mate and had a second look at her. I dislike women and what they have done to me and my kingdom, and I have always thought the first thing I would do when I see my mate was to reject her and give her a load of money to last her for eons. I mean, women are all materialistic creature but something about this mate of mine is different. She defy my orders, challenge my authority and most of all she Intrigues me and now I can't seem to reject her. Just look at her, who will reject such an impressive she-wolf, her cognitive thinking aside, she is truly a beauty. There is something about her thats worth observing, I want to observe her and know more about her. I'm not some pathetic jerk that will reject his mate just because of past experience with other women, for now all I want to do is observe her and see if she's rude and materialistic like
Peter's POV"You know, this has never happened before. I, changing my decision because of someone else theory based on intuition and without proper evidence, but since you are so adamant that the rogues are heading north, I am choosing to trust your intuition and follow you, I just hope your intuition are right", I said to malina who glanced at me before nodding. "Dont worry, I wont fail you. I trust my instinct and they never fail me", she said confidently and I looked at Gerald who was still holding her hand. "Its okay Malina, you don't have to work too hard, I know why you are doing this and trust me, the whole council supports you and whatever decision you make", Gerald said as he stole her attention from me and i growled inwardly. This guy. It looks like he is going to become a thorn in the side between me and my mate. Why does he not let me speak in peace with my mate?. Looks like taking him out the picture is a necessary evil that must be done before its too late. All I ha
Malina POV "That's great, looks like my presence is improving you IQ, uncle Francis would be so proud of you", I said to Gerald who smiled before roughing up my hair making me scowl. I looked back at our king who stood there with a scowl on his face and for some reason it made me smile.Looking closer at him, he's actually cute. He's like a child who doesn't want to admit his mistake and shortcomings but know when to be adamant and when to give up. "King Peter, are you following?, or are you going to stand there and scowl like I stole your glamour?", I asked and he scoffed. "Who is following you?, I'm just following the plan", he said and I chuckled inside before walking ahead. Yea he can say all he want to say and believe what he want to as long as he's not growling and grumbling like earlier. After waiting for what felt like an eternity, the rogues finally arrived, and it won't be wrong to say that I saw most of what I'm seeing is my vision but still it exceeds it. "Gerald-
"Don't worry dad, once we are through with the wedding, I will seek out my fated mate and leave Malina, while still being the alpha of the pack", I over heard, making me jump out of bed and screamed , oh it was just a dream. Damn it felt so real. "Wake up! wake up!! ", a familiar voice called. Opening my eyes, Sophia my best friend was standing next to me with a worried look on her face. "Why are you sweating and looking so frightened" she asked? "I just had a dream inside a dream, I saw Kane whispering to his father that once the wedding is over, he would leave me and seek out his fated mate, that all he wanted was to claim the alpha position". I said shakingly "Hey, don't be nervous, its just your mind scaring you with all this crazy possibilities, don't worry it will all be okay" Sophia said for the fiftieth time. Everything is going to be fine, i just need to calm down, I've waited for this day my whole life. Whatever I'm feeling is just my nerve working me up because of the

"Oh, I know how grateful you are, you have been repeating the same words "thank you for your help" for the past fifteen minutes" I said, expecting her to pipe down her gratitude. "Oh, I did?, I just wanted you to know how grateful I am for your help" she said again and I rolled my eyes. "I'm sorry if my character of showing gratitude is getting on your nerves but my brother is always saying girls are useless and are best at the kitchen and gossiping.
