ROSHIDA I 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
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 raining curses 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. Do you realize
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 sit back
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 attention, ge
ROSHIDAFelix was a coward.He was like a dog that barked and barked and even when the target was in front of him, he couldn't bite.I looked him square in the eye.“I don't know what you want from me but I know I can't give you anything. So it's up to you now.”He looked at me so dumbfounded. What? Did he expect that I would sit back and wait until he married her?“Do you even understand what you're saying? Reject you? You're a Luna. You will tarnish your image. Trash that talk. All you have to do is accept the fact that I'm marrying Kelly. Stop trying to sabotage it.”I was trying to remain calm because I wanted to have this conversation in a very calm way.“Felix, I don't know which of my actions have seemed like a sabotage but I never meant for it to seem that way. As I have said before, I do not care that you want to marry her. Infact, you have my blessings. Go ahead and do it. Just stop bringing me into it. I'm sick of it.”He held my hand.“Roshida, if we are having issues,we d
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 go to the Capitol and secure my freedom. Doesn’t that sound nice? I've already sent the letter. I just need to make sure the King has seen it.”“We need to celebrate. It's an amazing feat.
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 agai
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.As long as the King hadn't finalised finalised the divorce, it meant that we were still married and anything that I wanted, I could take. So, if I wanted to take everything she owned because she was my wife, i could. 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, th
ROSHIDAI gave Liam to Marie that morning and asked her if breakfast is ready. “Yes, it is. The King and Queen are at the table already.”Well, it's a good thing that they can still eat without me being there. I had had another thing to worry about. What if the King and Queen were mad at me for what happened last night? This morning, I thought about it properly and realised that it seemed like disrespect. Not even that, it was disrespect to walk out of the King and the royal family. And I didn't want anyone to them to think that it was because we had become so close that I had the guts to walk out on them. As I stood in front of the door,.I pressed my ear to see if I could hear anything but I couldn't hear any conversation or cutlery clanking. What were they doing if they weren't eating already?“Roshida?”Sophia's voice startled me so much that I hit my knee into the stood beside me and the silent scream that I had to endure made me see stars. “Are you okay?”.When the pain had
VALFREDAs she stormmed past me and walkrd to her room, I just stood in the same spot while Reggie went to take a seat.Now I knew that I had officially messed up. I should be glad if she ever looked at me again not to even speak of talking to me again.“What the hell happened out there? I mean, I heard you guys had a fight earlier..is it because of this?”At this point, I was beginning to think about all my life choices. Maybe I shouldn't have followed them to the pack. At least, I would have avoided having to have the conversation with her and letting her find out that I was her classmate.If that handt happened, this wouldn't have happened.I told my family everything that happened and Reggie just sat there like a sponge, taking everything in like he was the one that had been caught in a lie.“I told you! From the moment you told me about her, I told you to tell her the truth. She doesn't have a wolf that would tell her who her mate is so she needs you to tell her the truth. And no
ROSHIDAI didn't look back until I got home. There was nothing to look back to. All I could see were faces of liars. I stormed right into the house, not even sitting for either of them to catch up with me. Ss soon as I entered the living room, I asked where everyone was and the guards took me to where they were. Why were they locked in a room? I wanted to ask but the way the Queen ran to me and grabbed me like I was a thief, pulling me closer to her threw me off balance. “You’re okay! Oh gosh! Where were you? What happened? We were all so worried, did they take you anywhere? Are you hurt?” Without first answering, I went to pick Liam up. He was crying in the corner and I'm sure it was because of all the pandemonium. “I wasn't taken. No one kidnapped me, I'm fine.”Valfred and Reggie joined us in the room and their faces looked looked like they had just found my dead body. “What is going on? You found Roshida so what's the matter? Why do you guys look that way?” I wonder if the
VALFRED“Are you sure you even know where we're going or are we about to get kidnapped too?”I didn't bother turning around to look at him because I didn't have anything to tell him. There was no time to be wasted and we needed to hurry up so we can get to her as fast as possible.“I won't lie, I actually don't know where we're going. I've never been here before and I can't track down her scent. I am picking up another scent though but-”“Shut up and stay down.”I turned around to look at him, hoping that he had not gone mad.“What are you on? Let's keep moving-”“Shut up! I saw something move in the trees. Get down.”I finally listened to his instructions and got down, holding my breath to see what he saw.After a while, I saw the movements a few yards from us, it was slow but steady.“Who do you think it is?”The silhouette of the figure was obviously a woman but we didn't want to take our chances so we didn't make a move.“Do you think it's her? I'm blind as a bat in these woods.”
ROSHIDA“Where did you say you saw the King? I think we've walked far enough.”I turned around to look but there was nothing to see. As far as my eyes could see, there were just trees. Gosh, how did I not realise how far I was walking?The girl turned around.“Just a little bit further. It's down here.”I should have let those guards follow me, they would be looking everywhere for me. I just hope that they don't start worrying.I'd been so angry at Valfred that I stormed off to the car to cool off. How could he not have told me all this while we were friends that he'd been the one that I'd helped all those years ago?I wouldn't have been mad at him or anything, he should have just told me. I came down from the act, remembering that I still had to show my face at the party.That was when this young girl.ran up to me and told.me that the King had been seen in the woods and they sent her to call me.“Um, now that I think about it, don't worry. I'll go back now and call his guards. They w
VALFREDRoshida was.missing.I sent the guards to look for my father and tell him what was going on and bring him back to the car so we could take him back home.I didn't want to take any chances. She couldn't just disappear into thin air.My dad came into the car to meet me.“Valfred, the guards said you were looking for Roshida. Where is she?”I told him everything that happened.“I want to go into the woods to look for her. I mean, I don't know what she went in there to do and she knows better but I'm sure I'll be able to find her if I go looking for her. I just wanted to let you know before I go.”“It’s her coronation day. If the enemies made it into her pack to get her, then that means they have her. I can't let you go out there alone. They might come for you. Take all the guards with you. I'll find my way home.”I know that Roshida has been a target to many since my father gave her the Blue Ridge Fortress and at some point, I even asked my father to take it away from her becaus
VALFREDShe perked up with a frown.“Really? Military school? What class?”.It wasn't very hard for.me to remember. Those years of my life were the worst.“Sir Red's Class. To make matters worse, my father made sure to hide that I was his son so I could blend right in. That didn't work out very well. I was bullied out of school.”Thinking back now, it didn't hurt anymore but I just wish that I could tell the young me that I wouldn't die if I had just stood up for myself.“What year did you graduate?”I looked back at her.“I never did. I just left. I told you, I was bullied right out.”She had a weird look on her face and I wondered what was wrong.“Valfred, I think we were in the same class. You're the boy I saved that day…the boy that left and I never saw again.”From the first day she said that story, I could already tell that I was the boy but we were on a mission and I didn't want to disrupt that with all that. So I kept mute. I guess it's a good thing it came up now.“Took you l
ROSHIDAAfter missing more than half the dinner, the King decided that he wanted to go into the pack. We were all sure that it was because of the candy floss and sweet shops.“Honey, how can you say that? I mean, I just want to see the people. Roshida just became Luna, we should go say hi to them, don't you think ?”He looked at me like he dared me to say no.”You’re right, My King. We should go say hi.”I actually didn't want to go to the pack even though it was tradition that I was supposed to bow to the people just after my swearing in.But I was tired and so not in the mood. I just wanted to go to my room and go to sleep.These days, my sleeping routine was getting better because I was going through enough stress to last a life time so my body was as tired as it could be.So I didn't even have to ask for slept before it came. Infact, the hours weren't even enough anymore.“You see, she agrees with me? Do you want to come with me?”The Queen gave him a dirty look.“And miss out on
ROSHIDAHe followed me down the stairs, holding Liam who seemed more interested in him than me.The way Sophia kept smiling at me like I was a bride coming down the stairs and she was my husband waiting for me.“Oooh, you look so good. Come on, let's go, the King is waiting for you.”The instatement was taking place in the garden. It was a close ceremony because I really didn't want a lot of people. Then, the people had the freedom to continue their party afterwards.The Elders and most of the people in government were present and at that moment, I wished my family were present to see this day.But then if they were, my brother would be the one taking the crown and not me.The King was standing up front and Sophia walked behind me since she was my Beta. She had to be sworn in too.The sun was not too hot and I was so happy because I hated the heat. It would have been a very bad day because I would have to smile and act like everything is fine.And I didn't want to do that.I bowed as
