ROSHIDA

“I didn't want to say anything tonight. I'll say it at breakfast.”

He dropped his phone and looked at me .

“It’s fine. You can tell them when you want. There's no pressure. I'm sure they'll be glad to have you here for longer.”

I knew that but I didn't want to take advantage of it because despite him knowing my father, I was still a Luna with a job to do.

Besides, I did miss my house.

“About earlier today, I want to apologize.”

His phone started pinging and he picked it up and looked at it, smiled and then dropped it.

“I’m listening to you.”

“I guess I'm sorry for acting like you did something so wrong that no one else had done. I just felt so awkward and I let it show a bit too much. I wasn't mad or anything like that and-”

His phone pinged again and he picked it up and looked at it, smiling as he typed.

I guess what I was saying wasn't important.

“That’s all. I'll see you tomorrow.”

I stood up and left him there. Maybe I caught him at a bad time.

“Roshida!”

    ROSHIDAHe took a deep breath and stared back out the window. “A lot of things trouble me. As a king, it's almost part of my job to worry about a lot. Sometimes, things I can't even control. But this one, this one holds a big place in my heart.”I could see the evident worry etched on his face as the wrinkles formed on his forehead and the sound of his voice seemed to fade out. “Its about my son. I worry greatly for my son.” That was the last thing I was expecting him to say. I remember when ee just got back from the Rogue pack and Valfred told me that there was a mole in the cabinet. I thought it was something related to that. “The Prince? Is there something wrong? Is there something wrong with the Prince?” He smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. “I don't think so. Well, I don't know yet. I fear that my son may be…soft. If that's the word to use.”Valfred, soft? Not in a million years. I didn't want to laugh but I couldnt hold it. He looked at me, obviously confused by my lau

    VALFRED “Why is it my fault? It's not my fault you decided to act like you were speaking to a woman. Besides, why on earth were you smiling at my texts? It's weird.” I picked up a boom and threw it at him. “Youre the one who was telling me about a girl who thought you were handsome. The things you were saying were funny. Wasn't I supposed to laugh?” He dropped Kiki down. “Yes, you were supposed to laugh-” “So what's my fault-” “-Only after, you had heard her out. You like this woman. Why on earth doesn't she have your full attention? She's speaking to you and you're giggling on the phone? She must have felt humiliated and probably like you didn't want to hear what she had to say. I would have walked away too.” Great, so now, I was the asshole. The reason why I didn't look at her when she started talking was because I didn't want her to feel shy. I wa

    VALFRED “Do you want me to do something about it?” “What could you possibly want to do? If you get involved, it'll just be worse because they'll think I came to report them to you.” “Do you care?! It's your life and Laura's life we're talking about. If you don't care about yourself, think about your sister. What will you do when they start coming after her? Let me help you.” I knew that what I was saying was falling on deaf ears. “I can't do that. Thank you though. I'm sure I'll figure it out. You don't have to worry.” That was bullshit and at the end, I'll eventually do what I want. I couldn't let him deal with this alone. I knew what those people could do when they didn't get what they wanted. And I won't let them do it with Reggie. “How about you stay off work for now? Just stay home and make sure to lock your doors. Don't go seeing Laura so they won't figure out where she is. You can come stay here too if you want. I'm sure mum would be happy having you around

    ROSHIDA I expected to see him at the dinner table but he wasn't there. It's not because I wanted to speak to him. I had nothing to say to him actually but I just wanted to see him. His parents didn't seem to be worried about his absence so why should I? They probably knew where he was. “Roshida, I thought you had plans to leave today. What changed?” I'd forgotten that I hadnt told them. “My apologies. It skipped my mind to tell you but I'd like to stay an extra week. If it's fine with you.” The King was the first who spoke up. “Yes! That is fine. We would be pleasured to have you stay here. Don't bother about your pack or the Fortress. I'll take care of everything.” There was no way I wouldnt worry for my people. They had been put into my care and I had to live up to expectations.

    ROSHIDA I turned around immediately and the pregnant woman was on the floor holding her waist. “Please, please help me. I don't know what's going on.” I rushed over to her, discarding the drink in my hand. “Hey, it's okay. Just like down flat on the floor. It's okay.” I tried to call for people around but it was today of all days that there was no one here. I looked down at her legs and figured that she was in labor. The wetness on her dress said it all. She was panicking and screaming loudly. “What’s your name?” “Brianna!” “Okay Brianna, we're going to do something. I need you to take deep breaths for me okay. Take very deep breaths. Screaming is only going to make it worse.” I didn't know what the hell I was saying but if I panicked, she would notice it and right now, one of us had to act like we knew what

    ROSHIDA “Rub the chest. Make sure that the baby cries. Spank him! Any thing you have to do..” I did all she said I should do but the baby wasn't crying and Brianna wasn't moving. “Brianna? Hey, wake up! Your baby's here.” She didn't move. Her body was limp. Now I was with a baby that wasn't crying and a mother who wasnt moving. I was about to start crying. In a fit of desperation, I spanked that baby on his buttocks so hard and he started crying. The way relief washed over my body, I couldn't explain it. “Screw the ambulance. Sophia, do you know how to drive? Please, get down to the park. Um, the name is Riverdale. Please get down here as soon as possible. I need you to help me get to the hospital. Brianna isn't moving or responding.” I tried shaking her more times but she didn't move. I even placed the baby on her so that maybe she will move but she didn't.

    134ROSHIDAShe ignored my question and pulled me in for a hug. “Oh, I was so worried when I heard about you. What happened? The doctor said you went into shock?”I nodded. “A lot happened.”“Where did you go? Why didn't you go with a guard? I hear you helped a woman give birth?”I nodded and she finally smiled with tears in her eyes. “Youre really amazing. I was so worried. Come, have a seat.”I sat down beside her. “What about the Prince? Is he here too? Is he okay?” She nodded. “He’s fine. They were able to get him out and he bounced right back up, even refused treatment. But his father forced him to take some drugs for the pain. But he'll be fine. He doesn't know you're here yet.”Gosh, I'm so happy he was fine. If anything had happened to the Prince…“I need to check on the woman I'd brought here. I need to make sure that she's doing okay.”I wanted to stand up but she held me back. “Why don't you rest for tonight? I'm sure you can see the tomorrow.”Right now, it wasn't t

    ROSHIDAI didn't even bother to finish taking the IV. I'd removed it from my arm last night and worn my clothes. “Where are her personal effects? I need to see if she has any family.” He led me to the reception and brought out the bag. “We’d already gone through it but we couldn't find anything. There was nothing to say who she was or where she came from.”Shit. Meaning I didn't even know if Brianna was her real name. How could no one know who she was?“What’s going to happen to her body?”“In cases like this where there is no one to claim it, the body usually takes care of it. We do our best to respect the dead and give them a resting place.”Brianna deserved better for all her struggle. “Can I claim her body?”“That would make very happy. That girl deserved more. I'll get you the release forms and then the morticians will help you with her body.”I followed him back to his office so I could get the forms. Who is to blame for what had happened? Emergency services? The Fire De

    ROSHIDAI was completely confused.“No, I do not think it's a women's party. I know it's a meeting for pack leaders-”One of the Alphas interrupted.“You mean, Alphas.”These men piss me off so bad and I'm going to bed help, a lot of help to be able to deal with these people. “No, I mean Alphas and Lunas. If you have a problem with me being here, then maybe you should not have invited me. So tell me, do you have an issue with me being here?”The guy standing laughed. I didn't even know who he was and I was sure I hadn't seen his face before. “The only reason we invited you was because the Blue Ridge Fortress is in your territory. And apparently, we can't do anything without your approval. That's why we invited you. If not, this is a meeting for men only. So do we have access to it or not?”Wow, so this was how they wanted to play it? Very well then. There was a knock on my door and I saw the guard that I had sent to get that man from earlier. Before he could speak, I held my hand

    ROSHIDAThe thrill and celebration that came with being crowned Luna had washed away and what was left was the work load and the meetings and the sanctions and the judgement. It was like the people of the pack did not live before I became Luna because as soon as I started work, every little thing was brought to me. The other day, two women came to report each other to me because their kids had gotten into a fight and they both decided that they also needed to sort things out so they got into a fight as well. “What exactly were the kids fighting over?” Before that, I had barely gotten two hours of sleep in three days and I would be anywhere else but here. “Some girl in school that they liked. My son saw her first and asked her out while her stupid son went behind my son's back to snatch her away from him.”I finally looked up at them, trying to manage the headache that was raging in my head. The scene before me wasn't making sense. “So let me get this straight. You grown ups dec

    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
