"Have it gotten to the point where you no longer take me serious again, am the f**king alpha, not you, whatever I say stands."
After venting out at me, he turned to the max (the guard) who was already trembling on the floor under his furious gaze.
"Leave now before I separate your neck from your body".
After speaking, the royal guard left hurriedly, thanking the moon goddess for saving him from the angry wolf king, before he remembered something, then he turned back and kept on the floor. She understood him, he was the princess personal guard so the princess must have threatened him not to come back without the king accepting to see her, but what she couldn't understand is why the alpha was this angry, his words just now shocked both her and the elders, what came over him, her thoughts lingered on what transpired between them last night last night and she frowned, she decided not to think about it before she succumbs to the sadness that is about covering her, she thought of it and said,
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
" Your majesty, can we leave now"
"NO"
Came his resounding, but short reply. No, 'did he just say no to her in the presence of the elders, she was utterly speechless, she eyed him, giving him a signal, 'are we doing this now....' She don't know what to do anymore, As she just watched him.
"Emm...., your majesty, we have to leave now, we still haven't done our discussion, of course that will be if you don't mind."
She glared at him telling him to follow her, but the king looked past her to the guard who was trembling non stop on the floor,he frowned, thinking how a weakling got to be his sister personal guard, he Will have to change him.
"Guild the princess in , let's hear what she have to say ."
"Yes your majesty"
The guard hurriedly left before the king decides to change his mind. Not long after he left to inform the princess of the King's order, the princess walked in, she is an epitome of beauty, she was like a character found in fairytale, wherever she goes, she managed to attract attention of everybody there. Some of the elders were gawking at her with an unnatural way in a rather trance state, and she seem to be uncomfortable with their stares.
On noticing her discomfort, the king gowled, angry at them for looking at her that way.
"Get your old perverted eyes off my sister before I plug them out myself".
He warned angrily. On getting to the throne, Princess Brianna bowed to the king, who in turn was looking at her with fondness and love in his eyes, he different from the person who spoke earlier, it was as if it wasn't him, that's not surprising because the whole kingdom knows how the king cherishes and love his sister, she is his only surviving family afterall, he is always over protective of her, he doesn't take it likely with anybody that makes her unhappy.
" What is the matter with you Jewel"
Even the tone he uses to addresses her is so affectionate and full of fondness,
"I want to go outside the palace, I have been locked in here for too long, I want to go outside"
Princess Brianna said and started sobbing immediately, and that's one thing the king can't bear, seeing her cry, its like his worst nightmares, she knew that why the princess decided to use this tactics and as expected he agreed, ruluctantly though.
"Alright you can go, but if the incident that happened last time repeat itself again....., you won't be going out again until you turn eighteen."
"Yes your majesty, naturally I know what to do"
She replied happily and walked out of the throne room.
"Don't make a fuss about the guards following you or you can forget about going out."
The king told her, as she was about to step of the throne room. She poured and nodded her head.
"Alright, I promise."
She replied happily and ran out before the king qould call her again and give her another condition. I laghed at her naughtiness and then I saw a flash of light and the surrounding changed, I was in the middle of a beautiful rose garden, it was a sight to behold and then again the surrounding changed, she was now near the dark forest at the back of the palace, I didn't panick because this is not the first time this is happening. I turned around searching for anything or a clue as you why I was brought here, I didn't see anything so I began thinking if this is a divination, i was about closing my eyes to chant some incantation to return to the current time I was in the palace, it was then I saw something that sent chills over my body, I saw a munezine monster smiling happily at someone, a rare smile indeed, they never smile at anybody, this is my first time seeing a monster smile, I turned to see who he is smiling happily at and I saw the princess waving and smiling widely till her eyes couldnt be seen at him, I was shocked to the core and my expression turned grave, what is happening, what is the princess doing with a munezine monster, i wanted to go grab her but the environment suddenly changed and I was in front of the throne again.
"High priestess, High Priestess,high priestess,".
The voice of the elders calling my name repeatedly brought me out of my trance state. I looked at them who were looking at me with a worried expression on their faces, I turned to look at the king who just stared back at me.
" are you okay, Catori"
Mato (the alpha beta) asked with concern.
"She is seeing them".
He looked back at me confused by my choice of words.
"Who is seeing whom"
"The princess"
"Who is she seeing"
This time it was the king that asked at the mention of the princess.
" The princess is seeing a munezime monster"
"What"
"What"
Both the king and the elders shouted at the same time with voices that is laced with shock and panic.
"What do you mean"
Beta Mato asked.
"Just now, I wanted an illusional vision, I saw the princess with a munezine monster, she was smiling at him happily, they seem like they are in love".
"That's impossible, the princess can't possibly have contact with them"
Before I could say anything, Elder Wiyot agitated voice sounded, he was one of the elders who were head over heels in love with the princess and hoping to marry her.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PREVIOUSLYThe voice of the elders calling my name repeatedly brought me out of my trance state. I looked at them who were looking at me with a worried expression on their faces, I turned to look at the king who just stared back at me." are you okay, Catori"Mato (the alpha beta)i asked with concern."She is seeing them".He looked back at me confused by my choice of words."Who is seeing whom""The princess""Who is she seeing"This time it was the king that asked at the mention of the princess."

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°PREVIOUSLY"Do you expect me to answer that Nahele, cause I don't see the reason why I should, but I will....."He looked at me for what felt like eternity to me, I also kept shaking my head to him, signaling him not to say it, but he continued nevertheless."I will satisfy your curiosity today, my mate is ....... A WITCH, the high priestess Catori, who is standing before you here." He said with hurt in his eyes and voice, why was he hurt, why does it feel like this whole thing is not what is seem like on the surface, was he lying to me, did I do something that hurt him.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°All the elders has a shocked expression on their faces, they all felt like their world is crumbling. ' no, this can't be true, the moon goddess can't just bestow this kingdom with a witch Queen, they haven't done anything that would warrant her rapt, why were they being punished'. All the the elders thought, Elder Nahele was the first to break the
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°PREVIOUSLY"Just get to the point please, why do you call me out here alone"I interrupted him when he was about to say something unrelated, something that can make me get emotional, and that is the last thing I want right now, I don't want him to know that this is affecting me, even though am dying silently, I want him to know that if he don't want me, am not going to kneel and row on the floor for him to accept me back, I can never do that. Am beginning to get upset with him, I don't know what came over him, what happened for him to be like this, but we were once lovers, can't he consider that."I want to send a few foot soldiers and some captured vampires to the front line, I think they will be able to hold them back till we draft out a plan to deal with that vampire prince."His voice brought me back to reality and was shocked when he mentioned captured vampires.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°"When did you capture the vampires, your majesty
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PREVIOUSLYwhat am I even doing, am supposed to be thinking of setting the issue at hand though I doubt it something to think about, instead of thinking about her. I wonder how she is doing right now, is she okay, is she hurt, is she still crying, I should not have left her there like that' so many mirade of emotions running through me..ahhhhhhh why am I suddenly thinking about her again, at this rate I might go nuts. I need to distract my self from this, and there is no better way to go about it than going hunting, with that I shifted to my wolf and ran into the forest, running to the kingdom boundary where the soldiers have set up their camp. I ran through the forest searching for the first unlucky prey to appear. My thoughts drifted to the upcoming war, I still find it difficult to believe that those rogues that left my park have formed a new park which is normal, but doing so without informing me is abnormal, and they had also joine
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°PREVIOUSLY"Were you even listening to me""Of course I was, you were saying something about me killing people right, how about I start with you"I replied sarcastically, I am getting tired of his never ending questions."No no no, please I still value my life, so please spare me, oh great King of the Lycans."He answered joking but with a serious face that if you don't know him before, you might fall for his trick. I rolled my eyes at him, not at all in the mood of his drama.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°"Alex, what is the matter with you, you don't look so good, what happened, am serious of what I said just now, you look really scary and intimidating when you were addressing us back there at the gate, I must say, you sacred the shit out of jet, you know how he fears you after that incident that happened last time, what is the matter with you, these days you are always moody, what really happened that got you behaving like this.""It is nothin
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PREVIOUSLY"Who's there"I shouted, but everywhere was as quiet as how it used to be. I was about to give up and go to the palace and search for her, when I heard a sound from one of the trees at the far end of the forest, I rushed to the tree to find out when made that noise, on getting there I noticed something weird about the tree, I took a step closer to it, then I noticed that the tree was actually glowing, it started glowing brightly that I had to take a step back, a very strong power radiated from it, which has me shocked, how could this tree be here and I didn't notice it, how could it be.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°I moved closer to the tree again and touched it, when did this tree appear here, I touched the tree again and felt some sort of connection to it, this is strange, this is my first time seeing this tree, so I don't understand why am suddenly feeling somewhat connected to the tree, and I also heard my sister's
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PREVIOUSLYOn a closer look, I recognized the building, it was the home of the ancient witches that lived in the kingdom during the reign of my great grand father's reign, they were banned from the kingdom during my grandfather's reign and they relocated to the witch kingdom where they still reside till date. I didn't care to find out the reason they were banned from the kingdom, I didn't know this building still exist, I thought they were destroyed back then."What are we doing here, why do you bring me here"°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°I asked her, cause i don't know why she will suddenly bring me here when am supposed to be searching for my sister, though I don't find it strange she knew about this place because she is also a witch. So she should know what she is doing.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PRIESTESS CATORI POVI ignored his question, he didn't know the impact of what he just did, I saw his outstretched hand w
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°. PREVIOUSLYI interrupted him midway, he loves bragging about his powers even in a situation like this, he wouldn't give it a rest, it annoys me to the point of fainting."Alright,Will do"He finally agreed, and mind linked his beta and after fifteen minutes, he arrived."You called me, your majesty"I scoffed, looks like they have been in some sort of fight or quarrel with the way he is emphasizing on 'your majesty'.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°He normally don't call him, your majesty, when we three are together except something happened, the two were best of friends and they don't normally quarrel, except it is something that has really pisses Mato off, cause he is the calm one, he don't quarrel with him except something really pissed him off, I wondered what must have pissed him off to this extent."Mato, I need you and the alpha to form a circle around me, put your right hand on my shoulder and use your left hand to hold this chair, am ab
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PREVIOUSLY"Sure, sure"Brianna said happily."High priestess, please where is the herb, the eye of the earth, I need to start making the antidote now""The eye of the earth!"Brianna said with a gasp."Where is it""Here"Catori said handling the herb to her, she stared at
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° PREVIOUSLYI smiled; now this is what I call face slapping."Am going to kill you""You dare"I said to him, flashing him a domineering smile, Catori signed."Let's go""Sure"We rushed to the Royal physician house, changing our appearance on the way, we got to the entrance of the house and I paused, I took a deep breath to calm myself down and stepped inside."Alex"A sharp scream reached my ears as she jumped at me.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°I smiled widely, I missed her so much that it became suffocating; and here she is, is this a miracle, I hugged her tightly, taking in her refreshing scent,I couldn't believe she is in my arms right now. Catori rushed in to find the Royal physician to discuss on the antidote but Chardon stood there staring at both of us."You have two Mates, No; that's impossible, or maybe you have just one but you want two"Chardon blunted out which made me growl at him."Who is he"Brianna asked, I

I signed, am I the only one being too anxious here.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°I signed again unable to calm myself down."Why are you signing like an old man, oh you are an old man"Chardon said with his usual aloof smirk plastered on his face, I groaned and continued pacing round the room, I have to go out and calm myself, if I stay here any longer, I won't be able to calm myself down."I will be back"I said to Catori."No, you can't go anywhere Alex, you have to calm down, am also anxious too but you d

The rest of the days passed by gradually and soon it is the fourth day,Chardon is now fully healed."Shall we set off now"I asked Catori who doesn't show any signs of leaving yet."Of course, but fi
