“It’s a good thing you're going out. I mean, since she's leaving soon, she should have some memories or some souvenirs to take back to her back.”I hated the fact that she was leaving. I mean, couldn't she just live with us forever?But I knew she couldn't. I wish she could though.My mother placed her hand on Roshida's.“Dear, you must come back to visit us. Please, don't think of this as the King's house. Your family was a friend of ours so you are family. We love having you around here. You're such a delight.”Yes, yes she is.I'd stopped eating and just watched her. By the time she went back to her pack, I won't be seeing her for a while so I might as well memories her face.My mother however, had other plans.“Why don't you do something so you could be doing that everyday?”Only the both of us knew what she meant by that. These people thought it was really easy to get her

VALFRED When I told Reggie that we were going to be stopping by on the way to see what his art, he waa actually quite happy. Reggie had gotten a lot of hate early in the day when he first started drawing and painting. That was because in this part, that wasn't one of the normal jobs for men. Most men here were involved in hard manual labor especially the army so him saying that he wanted to be a painter and an artist didn't exactly bring him the attention he wanted. A lot of people don't know how good of an artist he is so that's why when I said that Roshida wanted to see his art, it meant a lot to him. After spending some time trying to figure out what the hell to wear, I'd dressed up and gone outside only to see her already waiting for me. I'd asked her to dress casually because we were going to be walking around a lot today and I wanted her to feel very free. She was wearing a sundress that stopped just below h

VALFRED It had taken me a lot of courage to ask her to come out with me. Speaking to women wasn't an issue for me But when it comes to Roshida, everything is just different. I can't even look in her eyes, I can't speak to her, being around her makes my heart go faster. It was like she wasnt human. Well, she wasn't but you get the point.. That night, I had to call Reggie and let's just say he had a good laugh. “Let me know when you're done making fun of me, okay?” He laughed for another minute before he finally calmed down. “Okay, forgive me but it took you long enough. Now tell me, was it so hard? Did you die? You didn't. I still so understand why you're so scared of this woman.” I won't say that I was scared. Let's just say I had great respect for her that I knew that I couldn't just speak to her anyhow. “Thats not why I called you. I finally managed to ask her o

ROSHIDA The sun was really doing it's thing so I didn't hesitate when Valfred offered ice cream. I watched him as he ate his cone, pretending that it was totally normal. “What? Is there something on my face?” I smiled and looked away from him. “Its nothing. I just don't understand how people like chocolate flavored ice cream. It's tasteless.” Obviously, he took offense to that.“Did you just say tasteless? It's the best thing ever, I can assure you.” “Sounds more to me like you're trying to convince yourself rather than me.” He just looked at me and laughed. “Do you want to taste it?” I stared at the spoon that he brought close to me. “No way. Get that thing away from me.” He waved it in my face some more.“Just a spoon. Just take it and think about it.” Seeing that it was starting to melt, I took the spoon. “Now, savor the taste.

ROSHIDA“Stop thinking so much. You'll give yourself a headache.”I didn't even know that he had been looking at me.The car finally came to a halt and we got our.“You came to see a friend?”He smiled.“No, I brought you to a friend. Come on.”He walked ahead of me and knocked on the door, waiting for a response.“I’m coming. I'll be out in a minute.” a voice from inside the house shouted.The door finally opened and a man came out.“Reggie?”He smiled as he answered.“That’s me.”I turned to Valfred.“Why didn't you tell me that it was the same Reggie that I'd met before?”He shrugged.“I didn't think it mattered. Reggie, you've met Roshida before. Roshida, I know you've met Reggie. My best friend and the artist of every art piece in that museum.”My mouth dropped. Any more surprises today?“You own the place?”He stepped out of the way and ushered us in.“Yes, I do.”Valfred and I sat on the couch and I took my time, going over all the paintings and drawings that were on the wall.

ROSHIDA After we finished eating, Reggie saw us out of the house. “Thank you so much for the food, Reggie. It was really great.” His smile wasn't as wide anymore.“Yeah, it's fine. I'm just glad you liked it.” “And sorry you had to find out about your dog and cat like that.” “Yeah, I'm going to have a long talk with them tonight. Gosh, there are going to be so many.” Valfred placed his arm on his shoulder.“Good luck because you're going to need it. You should have been a better father.” Reggie slapped his hand off.“You should be disappointed in yourself too. What were you doing while they were getting knocked up?” “Far up in the north being a hero. What about you?” Reggie couldn't say anything again.“I can't believe you'd stoop so low. Anyways, I'll be bringing some of the babies to your house so people don't think I'm the weird cat and dog artist. They already think I'

ROSHIDA “You're enjoying this, aren't you? You like the fact that I'm now a maid and you're a Luna? Roshida, I should have known the kind of person you were.” I had never been so confused in my life before. “Sonia, I can understand why you're mad. You make what, I don't think I can. I did ask you to come with me back to my pack. I was never going to make you a maid. You were going to live there freely and have people serve you, just like you wanted here. But you chose this instead.” She dropped the mop.“You think I'm stupid. I know you look down on me and that's why you thought I was some charity case that you could help. But guess what, I'm better off here. I'd rather be a rat here than go with you where I will be indebted to you forever.” What on earth was she on about? Was that how she viewed this whole thing? “That wasn't what this was about. I just wanted to help you out. That's it. You could have easily gon

ROSHIDA What woke me up was the water. The sprinklers were set off every morning and we had forgotten that when we fell asleep on the grass last night. I jumped up and shook Valfred. “Seriously, no one could turn off the sprinklers?” We ran inside, obviously already soaked because the ground was wet as well. As we entered the house, the maids were already waiting with towels. The Queen was behind them, smiling. “Good morning, sleepy heads. My apologies for waking you in such a mean manner but the whole house had already gotten a glimpse of your…should I say intimacy?” Gosh, this was so embarrassing. “Mother, you are mean. I'm soaking wet!” He collected the towels from the maid and handed me one. “Oh well, hurry up. Your father wants to see you. He didn't want to disturb your sweet sleep.” “He saw me?!” The way he said it made me feel like

ROSHIDA I walked back to the waiting room. “Is there a problem, Luna?” “A small one but it's all been taken care of.” Felix was crazy if he thought I was going to drop everything and.appear just because he was stupid enough to show up at my house without telling me. “Do you want to share?” Oh well, why not? It was funny to me either way. “My ex husband thought it wise to go to my pack and demand to see me. He says hes not going to leave until he does. Such a nuisance.” What did he want to see me for? What did he want to tell me? “The audacity. I thought the King asked him not to come close to you anymore. What does he want from you?” I could see that she was getting upset and I didn't want her to. “My Queen, it's fine. As I said, I've handled it already. Infact, I've decided to stay an extra day. So that when he gets tired of acting a fool, he would leave my

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

ROSHIDANow, I was convinced that I was working with very devious people.Whenever Valfred and Sophia were involved in something, I might as well know that I didn't have a team and I was going to be left out of a whole lot.Add the Queen and King into that mix and they were an army.And the sad part was my sweet little Liam was now a part of them. What was I going to do now?By the time I would wake up, it was almost noon and all I had to do was go straight into the bathroom and take a shower because the make-up artist and the entire team were already present for the makeover.The fact that the King was already here and I wasn't present to welcome him was one thing I didn't like.“Why is that an issue, Roshida? He knows how exhausted you are and I didn't tell him that you were sleeping. So don't worry, he knows you're on your way.”I couldn't even answer her because I was looking out the window, looking at the decorations outside.That's when it clicked and I turned to look at Sophia.
