I was woken up with a case.Sophia had come to bang on my door quite early that morning and I wondered what part of the sky was falling down.“What did you say the matter was?”She barely even turned around to look at me .“I don't know. How about you come see it for yourself?”I tried to button my jacket that hid only my bra since she had barely given me time to get ready.I made sure that I appeared reasonable before I opened the door.I could see four people standing in the middle as I walked past to my seat.“What is so serious that I had to be woken up so early in the morning?”Since Sophia had decided that it was a surprise of some sort, I had no other choice but to wait for someone to tell me what the hell was going on.“Luna, we apologise for rising you so early. We understand the stress you must have gone through yesterday and we appreciate your efforts. But

ROSHIDAIt was only when Sophia came close to me that I stopped.“All those slaps, they will never be equal to what you did to this woman. The way you beat her, the humiliation, the pain you caused her, bringing another woman into the house to take her place like she was some piece of furniture, all those were to make up for it. And they will never be enough.”They will never be enough.His mouth was bloody and he was on the floor.“She will get the divorce she wants and so much more, I will make sure of it. I don't care how long it takes, I will just make sure that she becomes happy. She has wasted twenty years of her life with you and now that she finally wants to make something of herself, you tell her not to leave you. I will never allow a thing like that.”There was no reason why I would let a man like this make this woman look like nothing before other people.Just like Felix, if he wanted to marry that woman then he might as well go for it. But what I won't allow was him to mak

ROSHIDAAfter the hand painting, we went to a photo booth because Valfred thought that it would be fun if we took pictures. He stood outside while he set the time for us. “What are you doing over there? Come closer.”He waved his hand. “Oh no, you're family .I can't photobomb your pictures.”“How can you say a thing like that? We want you in it, right Liam?”He made a sound in approval. “So, what do you say?”He thought about it for a moment and then nodded. “Okay then, I'll come..but you guys should take a few by yourselves.”He was right. He helped us set the timer again and then I had to hold Liam up in a way that showed his face. The flash wasn't too bright and he seemed to get the drift. He didn't cry or whine in all the pictures and he only smiled in one. “Oh, look at his gummy smile. He's so cute. I love my baby so much. Valfred, come on.”He joined in and stood by my side. From the way he stood, I didn't like how it looked in the camera. “I can already tell how uncomfo

ROSHIDAJust as I'd expected, I woke up late the next day.I did feel very refreshed because I didn't know how long I'd slept for but I knew it was a very long time because the sun was already high up in the sky and I was very sure that there was no more Vitamin D coming in from the sunlight.Still very drowsy, I walked over to Liam's cot and saw that he was having a nap too. That had become my most favorite thing, seeing him sleeping. It meant that at least, I would have the next few hours to myself to be productive.I brushed my teeth and took a bath as quietly as I could so I wouldn't wake him up.There was no way I was going to go to the Fortress because not only was it already late to be there but I knew that I would eventually be pulled into work of some kind and I couldn't take that right now.I saw Sophia on a couch looking through some papers on my way down the stairs. She looked up as I walked closer to her.“Sleeping Beauty has nothing on you.”Sleeping Beauty hasn't been t

VALFRED“Is Laura still with your aunt?”Reggie nodded as he stared out the window in thought. This wasn't my beet friend. Ever since he stared having these threats, I didn't know who Reggie was anymore.I don't think he even knew who he was, and it would be very selfish of me to say anything about his attitude.“I live in fear, Valfred. I wake up in fear in my own house because I don't know the day they would find out where I live and attack me. I don't even care about myself. If anything happens to me, what about Laura? How will she grow up?”The fact that he wasn't worried about his own well-being angered me.“Laura is safe for now. Reggie, I have offered to help you. Infact, I even asked you to let me get my father speak to these people but you have refused. All I have to do is speak to them and everything will be fine.”I figured that if I didn't do something on my own regard, then Reggie won't let me help.I stood up and changee my shirt.“Let’s go.”He turned around to look at

VALFREDI knew that Reggie won't end up liking what I was about to do but at this point, I didn't have any option. If I didn't step in and do something, they would doy heir worst to him and that might end up with his being very injured.Their pack was on the outskirts of the town so the drive other there was quite long. It took us at least three hours to get there.They didn't know who I was but I'm sure they would have figured that I was some sort of royalty since the Chief Guard's attire was known everywhere.Depsite the strange looks, I walked straight past them and went to the Chief's tent. He would be the best person to ask you deal with this.Thankfully, he was in his tent and I walked right in.He was in a meeting though.“My Prince, you're here.”He quickly dismissed the men in the room.“Please, take a seat. Would you like some tea or coffee or-”“Save it, this is not a cordial visit. I have very important things to talk about today and that's why I came here.”He seemed to s

ROSHIDAI straightened out my dress for the thousandth time.“Do you think I look pale?” I asked Sophia who eas busy with something else in the room.She barely looked back at me before turning back around to face what she was doing.“I don't think so. The dress suits you perfectly.”Why didn't I feel that way? Tonight was the Queens birthday ball and I was in the middle of a crisis.“Since when did you start caring about your skin color and appearance?”I frowned at her statement.“What do you mean? I always cared about how I looked.”She gave me a look and then there Liam's dirty diaper in the bin.“Thats not what I meant. I mean, you're not like other women who care about lipstick and the way thier butt sticks out. This has something to do with the Prince, doesn't it?”My eyes widened.“You’re insane for thinking that. The Prince has nothing to do with it. Let's just say that now that I'm the face of this pack, I wasn't to look the part. I don't want anyone to have anything to say.

ROSHIDAAs much as I wanted to act like being here didn't make the butterflies in my stomach jump around in a frenzy, it did.It suddenly became like I had never been in front of a crowd before and I just kept looking over my shoulders like someone was going to swoop in and kidnap me.Maybe it was because there were a lot of people walking up to me and introducing themselves. Especially people that I have never seen in my life before.Most of them were Alphas who would come to congratulate me for the opening of the Fortress as they didn't have the time to speak to me that day.Was this what they had to deal with every other day too?Sophia was by my side, smiling like a doll as well as they shook me and shook her too.Liam was in his lean, most definitely sleeping already and I was worried that the noise would affect him. It didn't seem to bother him though.“Luan, I have to welcome you to this. I didn't think that you would come, seeing ws your lack is very far away.”I knew that voi

ROSHIDA“Id I had known that wearing a dress would mean having my breath taken away by you like this, I would have asked for a ball every day. Did I tell you that you look stunning?”I gave him a look.“Three times now.”He smiled wildly, letting his pearl teeth show in the dim light.“You clean up nicely. I mean, you in a suit? Who would have thought?”He laughed and shook his head.“My position in the military and all the work I do around won't let me dress like a normal person. I am a soldier, I have to be ready for combat at any time.”I couldn't argue with that so I just nodded and turned back to face the crowd. More people were coming into the already filed up hall. I mean, what was I expecting? It was the Queens birthday party. It's definitely not going to be a small affair.We got served pastries and I just ate ice cream because I really didn't want to be trying any new foods, at least not tonight. It won't be nice going to the toilet over some new food in this dress.I looked

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.”
