ROSHIDA

“Do you think this color looks good on me?”

Sophia turned around to look at me.

I was having trouble trying to figure out what to wear. Nothing seemed to look good anymore.

“This is the sixth gown you're trying on. Why haven't you found anything yet?”

If it were that easy, I wouldn't still be here trying on gowns like a mannequin.

“Maybe it's my body but it looks so big now. I don't remember the last time I wore a gown though.”

I've been so busy with everything. I didn't have any reason to wear a gown.

She didn't say anything and she left the room. I felt she was too busy to help me. She had actually been quite busy with the decorations and all that and it just seemed like I was irritating her.

Maybe I should just settle on something.

This black gown didn't seem so bad. If I could just reduce the size….

Sophia came back into the room.

    ROSHIDA “So tell me about you.” My brain automatically shut down. Tell him about me? What was there about me that he didn't already know about me? I had no idea he had a birthmark besides his lips. “I don't understand. What do you want to know?” “I want to know Roshida and not the Luna. Not the Alpha's daughter. Not the warrior. Roshida as a person.” Cue another smile. “Roshida as a person is very boring. There's nothing to really know about me.” “I don't believe that for a second. There had to be things people don't know about you. It doesn't have to be a lot. Just tell me anything.” The fact that he was making me think was funny but I put much thought into it because I actually didn't want to sound like a boring person. “Oh, I got one. I used the piano when I was little but it's been so long. I forgot everything.” Was he using a new cologne? “Real

    ROSHIDA “Tell me everything. Don't leave anything out.” It was like I had just had my first date and she wanted to hear all the details. “It was just as you saw. We had a good time. It was nothing deep.” “What I saw was the both of you holding hands. How did you all get there? I mean, you told me that it was dinner.” I rolled my eyes as I took off my earrings. “Let it go, Sophia. I don't know how we ended up with our hands joined. But I know it happened. And he didn't want me to take my hand back.” I could see her through the mirror as she gave me a side eye. “Did you want to take your hand back either?” I didn't say anything to that. After dinner, we went to the balcony and just stood there. I was surprised when he said he didn't really drink because I'd brought alcohol for him. “What about you?” “I don't even have the time. I haven't even thought about drin

    ROSHIDA I had never wished that I was ambidextrous until today. My hands were walking double time since I was signing and stamping and sealing all this papers by myself. Sophia had dropped all the letters on my table this evening while I was asleep. I'd been in meeting with my elders all morning and it had started as soon as the sun rose. It felt like there was a while lot to say since I had spent a lot of time away from the pack. There were deals to think about, allies to consider and things to approve. I had no idea that the people would come to me for things as little as marriage. “So what you're saying now is that you want my approval to marry your ex girlfriend's mother?” The young man in front of me nodded like he was proud of what was going on. “Let me ask, why would you want to do this? I mean, don't you think it's disrespectful?” He laughed.“Luna, that word has never been existent bet

    ROSHIDA I'd had to go give the King and Queen the invitations by myself because they were Royalty and sending a guard or sending Sophia would seem like disrespect. So i set out that morning with Liam by my side since the Queen had called last night and asked that I bring him or else, she won't accept the invitation. “You see, you're not even grown and you're already being used to threaten me. I'm sure you like that, you little angel.” In the last few days, he had become less whiny and I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. Maybe I'll ask the Queen because it bothered me. I gave him his bottle in the car since we couldnt wait to do all the trouble at home. Liam liked to take his time with his bottle. We had to set out early so I would come back and do other things. The opening was two days away and there was still so much to be done. As i was thunking about it, I realised that the Prince hadn't given

    ROSHIDA “Listen up! This is not a drill! This is not a parade! This is serious business. Which means that you have to be on your best. The King, the Queen, the Prince and Princess are all going to be in attendance of this celebration. This is just in part with all the Alphas, Lunas, Betas and Gammas that are going to be in attendance. We'll be having a lot of VIP's with us tomorrow and wr can't dispute the fact that people will try to get close. They will do stupid things or at least, try to. It is your job to make sure that they don't succeed. Keep your eyes and ears open, have you gun and sword close to you but don't be too quick to pull it on innocent citizens. In all, make sure that the people feel safe and protected. Do you understand?!” It was the last step in the preparations. Making sure that the soldiers understood the seriousness of the situation. I didn't want to hear any funny business because everyone was going to be so busy tomorrow that I won't ha

    ROSHIDA I just contained my laughter until she left. As soon as the door closed, Sophia rolled her eyes and turned back to what she was doing. “Look at you bring all jealous. I never too you to be that kind of person.” “I won't be that kind of person if you didn't flirt with everyone..you almost jumped out of your seat to kiss her.” I couldnt help but laugh at what she was saying. “How can you say a thing like that? She was being nice and I was just returning the vibe. Did you expect me to be mean to her?” She scoffed and walked to the other side of the room. She looked busy with those papers that she didn't take her eyes off them for once. “No one is saying that you have to be mean but you don't have to make her think that you like her so much. It'll make her more lazy.” I knew what was going to solve all this. “What exactly do you want from me? Okay, I'll make you a

    ROSHIDA Just as I'd thought, It was like a carnival. Just as I'd thought, some people started arriving even before the sun arose because of how far thier pack was. I'd been able to put Liam back to sleep after an hour and through all the struggles and everything that if down in the room, he was still asleep. Thankfully, his maid was awake too and this time around, I remember what it was that I wanted to say to her yesterday. “Maria, as you know it's a very busy day for me and I won't be able to carry Liam around. So please make surr that he’s okay, and well fed. You'll be cooking with us since the King and Queen will want to see him. I'll take him from you while we're walking around. Is that fine?” “Yes Luna.” Sophia came in and I put my hand to my lips immediately and pulled her outside. “What’s going on?” “You’re not dressed. That's what's going on. That first Alpha was not supposed to see yo

    ROSHIDA “Just hear me out. You can still do every other thing you want to do. Just come spend time with me for a bit.” I removed my hand from his, not wanting to cause a scene. “Listen to me, I'm trying not to be rude so please don't push it. When I tell you that I can't, I mean it. And now, I won't. So go back to your seat and stop being a pain in my ass.” He seemed mortified at what I just said but I didn't care, all that mattered was that he eventually went back to his seat. I went around, saying hi to everyone that was there and the ones that were still coming in. Even after breakfast was over, they were all too busy greeting each lther and talking. I'd been so scared that they'd be bored after breakfast was over. Sophia hurried back into the room. She had changed her clothes and she looked really beautiful with her hair left down. Most of the time,

    ROSHIDAClarissa was waiting for me outside just like she said she would. “I’m so sorry for calling you out here at this time. I just don't have a good feeling about this.”I walked over to go and meet her and give her a hug. “I should be apologise for making you stay up and wait for me by this time. You should be sleeping. Where is the Queen?”She led me inside the house and once in, the guards surrounded us immediately. “What madness is this? Get out of the way, we need to go through.”Mark came to join the party. “My apologies, My Princess but they're under special orders to arrest her as soon as they lay eyes on her.”Had things gotten this bad that there was even a warrant out for my arrest? Clarissa stood in front of me. “Well, you didn't see her. You saw her with me, so when you see her alone, you can arrest her. Right now, you will move out of the way because we need to get to my mother.”I hated the fact that all this was happening because of me. The tension, the stand

    VALFREDIt took me a while but I finally figured it out. That's why I made the trip without telling anyone. Well, anyone in my family.“So you want to go over there to say what to them? You're supposed to be running away from them and not running to them.”I should have known he would never be in support. “She needs to stop the bullshit and stop sabotaging my life! Does she know how many steps back she has taken me now? Roshida won't even pick up my calls.”I spent days trying to figure out who the hell could have said anything to her. I crossed out all the people who knew about it before finally settling on Isabella. She was the only one with a reason to tell Roshida and who knows what else she told her. “I thought we were trying to sort this whole thing out. Listen, we don't need to blow things out of proportion. Just focus on sorting things out with Roshida. Going over there isn't going to make anything better.”No, it will. It will prove to them that I wasn't down for their bu

    ROSHIDAI should have known that my troubles weren't over. Working in an environment like this meant having to deal with things I didn't want to and that entailed being called by the King to appear in his presence because those stupid men had reported that I had spoken against the King.When the order came, I had to read it two times to understand what I was seeing. Spoken against the King? When the hell had that happened?I tried to recount what happened, wondering if I had even mentioned the King in my fit of rage but nothing was coming to mind. Sophia came to read the letter too. “What did you say?”“Nothing. I said nothing about the King. I wonder what those pigs have gone to tell him. The order says as early as the sun rises tomorrow, I should be in the Capitol.”They're trying to sabotage me, that's what they're trying to do. I mean, they knew I had a good relationship with the King and they wanted to do what they can to ruin that. That's the only way they can take the Fortre

    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.”
