ROSHIDAI didn't hear when she said it.“You should be grateful that you are still in this house. The Luna would have kicked you out back where you came from. You're nothing to me. You're despicable and you're disgusting.” He didn't even give Kelly the chance to say something for herself or retaliate.He slapped Sophia, hard across the face that Sophia fell to the floor. I was stunned for a moment. I couldn't process what had just happened.“How dare you speak to her that way? Don't you know she's my wife to be? She's the next Luna of this pack and you are nothing but a dirty slave. Apologise to her now.”I saw the tears in Sophia's eyes and that was all it took. Along with the anger I had pent up, I slapped him back. Just as hard.This time around, he wasn't the only one dazed. Both he and Kelly took steps back in awe as I helped Sophia off the floor. It was bad enough that he was treating me like this but I won't let him lay a finger on Sophia. “Next time, don't raise your hand t
ROSHIDAKelly spoke up before he had the chance to come out of his daydream. “What did you just say? You want him to beg you? He would rather die. Why does he have to beg you for money? Both of you are married, that money belongs to him too.”I had caught her. “So do you finally admit that we are married?”She turned pale, not being able to say anything else. “Well, what I was saying was-”“Shut up, Kelly.” Grace joined in.“Yes, shut up Kelly. Roshida, you have to understand that he has his pride to protect as an Alpha. I mean, I'm begging you already. Isn't that enough? Both of you are married, no one can deny that. So just help your husband out.”This woman was so two-faced. She was the same one training cursed down on me every other day but today when she wanted to beg for my money, her voice was calm. Fiona didn't say anything and she just stayed back and watched all that happened. Felix finally spoke up. “You want me to beg you? For money? I can't do that. I'm an Alpha.
ROSHIDASince they couldn't do anything to me, they decided to go for the one thing that they could touch. My reputation. I was in the room when Sophia ran in. “You won't believe what is going around the village about you.”Actually, I didn't care but she seemed very determined to tell me so I dropped my book and listened to her. “I heard from one of the maids in the kitchen that Fiona asked them to tell people around the village that you're wolfless. And that it was because of your character that you have this curse. She said you're cursed and that's why Felix is marrying another woman.”Well, they had really sat down to think about that story. I mean, they did have to find something convincing to tell the people if he wanted to divorce their Luna and marry someone else. “That seems like a very nice story. And I take it that the people are responding positively.”“Yes, they're believing it. We have to do something.”Sophia liked to panic. “We don't have to do anything except si
FELIXI was on the verge of losing it. I wanted to run away and never come back. As soon as I woke up, I was met with Kelly's attitude. She refused to speak to me as she was still mad that I didn't do anything when Roshida slapped me.She was the Luna. I couldnt touch her but she didn't listen. As if that was not enough, I had my mother's attitude to deal with. She whined and complained all day that Roshida has refused to come to her to take care of her.She'd call me and complain until I couldn't take it anymore. “Just stop it, mother. Please, just stop it! Do you think it's easy for me too? I have so much on my plate and you're not making it any better.”“Felix, you’re raising your voice at me?”“I'm not. What do you need her for, though? You're not sick, you can walk on your own so why do you want her to come to your room and serve you?”Her eyes danced as I waited for an answer. “I'm getting old, I need people to help me.”That was a lie and she knew it. “If you need attenti
6ROSHIDA“Won’t he get mad when he finds out?”I looked at her, confused at what she was talking about. “Who is that you speak of? Last I checked, I didn't owe anyone my whereabouts. So who cares if he finds out?”I wanted to leave the pack back to mine today. It has been a while since I'd been away from my family and I wanted to go see them again. At least to let them know I was doing fine. “I don't think you want to wear that.”She looked down at her dress. “What? I like this dress. Why don't you want me to wear it?” “It’s not me. We have places to be today. Just trust me. Wear something else.”Today was going to determine a lot. That was why I needed to go see my parents first. I needed their good luck to go with me. As I came down the stairs, I met Grace and Fiona in the living room. Not paying any attention to them, I walked past them. “Where are you going dressed like that? You think you can just stand up and leave this house when you please?” I turned around to look at
ROSHIDAThe new life that I was living made me feel like an actual Luna. I woke up every day and stayed in my room for most of the day since I had nothing to do. Normally, I would have woken up before the sun rose and entered the kitchen to cook Grace’s food because she refused to eat any other thing made by maids. Then I'll go wake her up for her bath. I'd have to bathe her myself because she had tricked me into thinking that her legs weren’t working. But not anymore. If I was going to be a Luna, then I might as well enjoy my days while doing it. There was no reason for me to involve myself in the daily activities of the maids and servants. Sophia brought my food to me earlier and ran my bath. “What do you have planned for the day?”I turned to her with a frown.“Planned for the day? I plan to do nothing. Just stay in here and sleep, read and stare into the abyss. Doesn’t that sound nice?”“You’re really serious about not doing anything in the house. They’re furious, I'll tell y
ROSHIDAI’m pretty sure that my attitude shocked him. He rejected me the day he brought another woman into this house, saying that he wanted to marry her while still being married to me so why was he so shocked all of a sudden?“You don’t care?”“Why should I? Did I care when you brought Kelly and said she was your mate? Did I care when you said I should take care of the wedding? Did I care when you said I could be your mistress? So why should i care when you want to reject me?”I was realising how easy it was for me to be careless towards these people. And it felt good. “ You will gain nothing from the rejection. If I reject you, you will lose everything. Your status, your money and all your assets, you will become an outcast here and no one will speak to you ever again.” “Why does it sound like you are trying to convince me not to go ahead with it? You’re the one who wants to reject me, remember? So why are you telling me what would happen? I don’t care if no one speaks to me aga
FELIXAfter dinner, I sat at the table for a while thinking about everything.I was going to get a lot of hate for doing this but in the end, everything will be fine.Right now, there were eyes on me from my enemies, hoping that I will fail in my new position as Alpha and they will be able to tell the Lycan King that they had been right when they said I wasn’t fit to be Alpha.It had taken me six years to finally get to this position. It had also taken a lot of victorious wars, sucking up and being on the good side of the Lycan King to finally be here and I won't let anything make me lose this position.I was also trying to get allies on my side which meant that their eyes were on me because they wanted to know if they would be making a good investment.Then finally, the Lycan King would definitely have people watching me to see if he had made the right decision. The last thing I would want is for him to send a messenger to tell me that he wanted to see me. Then, I'd know that I had
ROSHIDAI tried not to panic be sure it wasn't going to do me any good. Hearing that news made me hasten up the interview process and I made sure that the Fortress was heavily guarded. I spared no excess in seeing to it that every corner of the place was sealed off so that in case of an attack, the people would be safe and sound.I didn't think it was right for me to tell the Lycan King about it yet. I'm sure he would have heard of it on his own and would be making plans to deal with it. When I got home that day, I told Sophia about it and she thought the same thing too. “I think the most we can do is to keep an eye out for any strange movements. I'll ask the guards to be mounted at the border, parading it round the clock. Until they pose a potential threat to us, it's not exactly our problem.” I was not about to start a war I knew I couldn't finish. I wasn't even ready for a war in any way.After that news had been delivered, it had taken just two weeks for the order to come fro
ROSHIDAThe King didn't have to give me twenty four hours to leave. We left that same day, taking eveye last bit of property with us. He'd given me guards to help carry things back to the pack. As I stepped out of that house for the last time, I looked back and saw him looking at me through the window. He thought he could be smart and take everything that belonged to me but I'd won. I'd won in the end and I'd taken everything that he and his greedy family wanted to take from me. I'm sure he felt so stupid. The King hadn't been joking when he said that he renovated the pack. Everything was new again and as I stepped into the house I'd grown up in, a wave of emotions hit me at once and I just stood staring at the house. The house in which id been born, that once held the Alpha and Luna, that had once been bustling with life was now as quiet as a grave yard. My mother and I would often sit in the garden and speak for hours, telling me about my brothers and father since they weren'
FELIX“So you're trying to say that she beat you up? But she doesn't have a wolf and you're an Alpha and a little warrior. How's that possible?” The fact that I was narrating this story again was telling on my ego. I wanted to forget that it even happened. A mere woman could defeat a hero like me. If anyone heard it, my reputation would be ruined. I had to ask Fiona to help me massage my body since I couldn't get the doctor. It was like I'd been beaten for several hours. It was a stupid thing I'd done, hitting myself against the wall to get her off me. I should have just shaken her off instead of putting myself in harm's way. Now, she was the one unharmed. “She apparently received training as a child. I had no idea her father trained her to be a warrior since she didn't have a wolf. She didn't show me that part of her when I first married her.” Maybe if she had shown me that side of her, I would have seen her in a different light. I'd always thought she was just some weak woman
FELIXI'd been hoping that it would be a dream but I woke up the next morning and she was truly gone. I wanted to just stay in my room all day and just think about what the hell I was going to do but I knew that I would think about it too much so I went down to my office after breakfast. In just a matter of an hour, things changed drastically and I still couldn't believe it. After everything yesterday, I had to explain to the people why I'd gathered them earlier. Of course, I couldn't tell them the real reason I'd called them here. I'd come up with some lame excuse and tell them that I'll reach out to them when I have something more to tell them. Then I returned home and sat down in my office. It looked like a hurricane had hit it. How could the Lycan King do such a thing without first informing me? I thought he would first invite the both of us to appeal our case before passing the final verdict. But he just did it based on what he heard or what Roshida had told him. Fiona ha
ROSHIDASensing the tension in the room, Felix pushed his mother behind him and stepped forward. “My King, what my mother is trying to say is that giving her all these assets and telling her to rule on her own is like giving enemies an invitation to attack her. At least, if she stays here, she'll have people to protect her and all she has. The Blue Ridge Fortress, included.”It just occurred to me that he had been eyeing the piece of land too. The bloody bastard. Just how smart did he think he was? “Maybe you don't understand what I'm saying. It is not possible! Your divorce is final, you can not have her here again!” He turned to me. “I expect you to be out of this place within the next twenty four hours. Gather your people and everything that belongs to you and leave this pack. Failure to do so will be counted as disobedience and since you're a Luna now, you will be held accountable for your actions.”Oh, he didn't need to tell me twice. As soon as he leaves, I'm going to be out
ROSHIDAAs he stood in the room, his huge form taking over the doorway, his eyes scanned the room in disgust. Felix's shifting had made the room a mess and it was expected that the Lycan King wouldn't want to be in a place like this. Felix and his family rearranged themselves and stood on their feet. “My King. What are you doing here?” The Lycan King frowned at him and I gave Felix a look. “Are you asking me questions now? Don't I have the right to be where I want to be anymore?”He bowed his head. “That’s not what I mean, my King. My apologies if it came off wrong. It's an honor to have you in my pack.”“It seems I came at the right time. Things were seeming to get out of hand.”“I don't understand you, your highness. What do you mean?”“In the past few weeks, certain reports have reached my ears and I felt the need to come in person and address them. It seems to me that you have taken another woman as your intended Luna.”Felix's resolve fell and he looked away. “I’m sure I c
ROSHIDAShe couldn’t look me in the eye and answer that question.“You can't hurt me. You're the Luna so you can't touch me. If you do, that's a crime.”Now all of a sudden, I'm the Luna. Felix seemed to be her safe place because she went to stand behind him. Like if I wanted to touch her, he would be able to protect her. He looked at me like he was about to attack and I could see that there was a lot going through his mind. His stance seemed suspicious and I knew he was going to do something. What I didn't expect though was for him to transform. Right there in the house and in front of all of us, he shifted and the first move he made was to me, snapping his jaws hard. There was little to no range of movement since his huge form had taken over the room and I knew that I had to get out of his reach and what better way of controlling a wolf than sitting on its head. One jump off his table, off the wall and I was seated right on his neck. He didn't seem to like that and he kept tryin
ROSHIDA“We don’t plan to keep you. You didn’t do anything good as a Luna so someone else will be taking your place. All that you need to leave behind is some money for the pack so that a few things will be fixed. I mean, it won’t make sense for you to leave with everything.”I'm very sure that within two months of being married to Felix, Kelly would be fed up.They were overbearing and self centered. But oh well, she wouldn't be able to get out of it because she had asked for this and now, she finally got it. I turned to face Grace because I had something to say to her. She kept repeating something over and over again and it was pissing me off.“You say I can’t leave with the money. But it’s my money so what business do you have with it? You say I’m not the Luna but you want my money. If I'm not a good Luna, then surely my money isn't good either. Things can’t work that way. If I’m leaving, then I’m taking everything with me.”She turned to Felix as if asking him to say something to
ROSHIDAI originally didn't want to go into his office but then, when I heard him and his mother talking about me and how he had a meeting with the Elders to discuss the rejection, I figured I needed him to see me and let him see that I didn't care about it. He could do whatever he wanted. When I snatched the letter from him and he got all defensive, I knew I had to read it. I didn't know what he was planning behind my back. The letter was not too lengthy and it was very straight to the point. “Dear Felix,If everything does go according to plan and you end up rejecting Roshida as planned, make sure to take everything that belongs to her. She is ungrateful and she needs to learn not to bite the hand that has fed her since she came here. She will have to learn the hard way to not be stingy with what she has. Make sure that you take everything from her and strip her of everything. Remember she's the reason things aren't going so well anymore.Your Luna,Kelly.”I dropped the lette
