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
FELIX“I don't understand you, Kelly. What's wrong all of a sudden? Why're you mad?”“I'm mad because you can't seem to understand how serious things are. You said it yourself that things are not looking good for your family anymore. And you think that the right thing to do is to let go of your only source of income?” This was still hard for me to understand. Women always said one thing and meant another. “But Kelly, you don't like Roshida right? You said it yourself yesterday when you came back into the room. So you still want her money?”She gave me a look when she turned around. “Don’t be ridiculous, Felix. First off, I had no idea she was the breadwinner of this family. You didn't tell me that you were that poor.”I held a finger up to her. “I'm not poor. Point of correction, I just don't have a lot of money. She has the inheritance of her parents and that's why she's rich. Her father was a really powerful Alpha before he died.”“How did you even get her to agree to marry you?
ROSHIDAI originally didn't want to go into his office but then, when I heard him and his mother talking about me and how he had a meeting with the Elders to discuss the rejection, I figured I needed him to see me and let him see that I didn't care about it. He could do whatever he wanted. When I snatched the letter from him and he got all defensive, I knew I had to read it. I didn't know what he was planning behind my back. The letter was not too lengthy and it was very straight to the point. “Dear Felix,If everything does go according to plan and you end up rejecting Roshida as planned, make sure to take everything that belongs to her. She is ungrateful and she needs to learn not to bite the hand that has fed her since she came here. She will have to learn the hard way to not be stingy with what she has. Make sure that you take everything from her and strip her of everything. Remember she's the reason things aren't going so well anymore.Your Luna,Kelly.”I dropped the letter
ROSHIDA“We don’t plan to keep you. You didn’t do anything good as a Luna so someone else will be taking your place. All that you need to leave behind is some money for the pack so that a few things will be fixed. I mean, it won’t make sense for you to leave with everything.”I'm very sure that within two months of being married to Felix, Kelly would be fed up.They were overbearing and self centered. But oh well, she wouldn't be able to get out of it because she had asked for this and now, she finally got it. I turned to face Grace because I had something to say to her. She kept repeating something over and over again and it was pissing me off.“You say I can’t leave with the money. But it’s my money so what business do you have with it? You say I’m not the Luna but you want my money. If I'm not a good Luna, then surely my money isn't good either. Things can’t work that way. If I’m leaving, then I’m taking everything with me.”She turned to Felix as if asking him to say something to
ROSHIDAShe couldn’t look me in the eye and answer that question.“You can't hurt me. You're the Luna so you can't touch me. If you do, that's a crime.”Now all of a sudden, I'm the Luna. Felix seemed to be her safe place because she went to stand behind him. Like if I wanted to touch her, he would be able to protect her. He looked at me like he was about to attack and I could see that there was a lot going through his mind. His stance seemed suspicious and I knew he was going to do something. What I didn't expect though was for him to transform. Right there in the house and in front of all of us, he shifted and the first move he made was to me, snapping his jaws hard. There was little to no range of movement since his huge form had taken over the room and I knew that I had to get out of his reach and what better way of controlling a wolf than sitting on its head. One jump off his table, off the wall and I was seated right on his neck. He didn't seem to like that and he kept tryin
ROSHIDAAs he stood in the room, his huge form taking over the doorway, his eyes scanned the room in disgust. Felix's shifting had made the room a mess and it was expected that the Lycan King wouldn't want to be in a place like this. Felix and his family rearranged themselves and stood on their feet. “My King. What are you doing here?” The Lycan King frowned at him and I gave Felix a look. “Are you asking me questions now? Don't I have the right to be where I want to be anymore?”He bowed his head. “That’s not what I mean, my King. My apologies if it came off wrong. It's an honor to have you in my pack.”“It seems I came at the right time. Things were seeming to get out of hand.”“I don't understand you, your highness. What do you mean?”“In the past few weeks, certain reports have reached my ears and I felt the need to come in person and address them. It seems to me that you have taken another woman as your intended Luna.”Felix's resolve fell and he looked away. “I’m sure I c
ROSHIDASensing the tension in the room, Felix pushed his mother behind him and stepped forward. “My King, what my mother is trying to say is that giving her all these assets and telling her to rule on her own is like giving enemies an invitation to attack her. At least, if she stays here, she'll have people to protect her and all she has. The Blue Ridge Fortress, included.”It just occurred to me that he had been eyeing the piece of land too. The bloody bastard. Just how smart did he think he was? “Maybe you don't understand what I'm saying. It is not possible! Your divorce is final, you can not have her here again!” He turned to me. “I expect you to be out of this place within the next twenty four hours. Gather your people and everything that belongs to you and leave this pack. Failure to do so will be counted as disobedience and since you're a Luna now, you will be held accountable for your actions.”Oh, he didn't need to tell me twice. As soon as he leaves, I'm going to be out
FELIXI'd been hoping that it would be a dream but I woke up the next morning and she was truly gone. I wanted to just stay in my room all day and just think about what the hell I was going to do but I knew that I would think about it too much so I went down to my office after breakfast. In just a matter of an hour, things changed drastically and I still couldn't believe it. After everything yesterday, I had to explain to the people why I'd gathered them earlier. Of course, I couldn't tell them the real reason I'd called them here. I'd come up with some lame excuse and tell them that I'll reach out to them when I have something more to tell them. Then I returned home and sat down in my office. It looked like a hurricane had hit it. How could the Lycan King do such a thing without first informing me? I thought he would first invite the both of us to appeal our case before passing the final verdict. But he just did it based on what he heard or what Roshida had told him. Fiona ha
VALFRED“It will take some time but I assure you that things will get better. Just give it some time. She's still very delicate. And her father was a very good friend of mine so I don't want you to do anything that will hurt her.”I guess Reggie and my dad could agree on one thing. I was going to have to be very patient if I wanted to go somewhere with her.“Also, my apologies for walking in on the both of you. I had no idea that was happening.”I had to laugh..it's good he walked in. I don't know how she would have reacted if I had actually kissed her so I guess I could thank my dad for that much.“It’s fine. Thanks dad.”I knew that there was a high chance that he would have told my mother so I didn't even need to ask him. Hell, I'm sure he had.I went back into the house and went to my room.She was leaving tomorrow which meant that tonight was my only chance to see her. I wish she didn't have to go so I could go to her pack and see that bastard and tell him a piece of my mind.Any
VALFREDDid I regret that I almost kissed her? No, not one bit. Will I do it again if I had the chance? Most definitely..If my father hadn't walked into the room at that point in time, I wonder if I would have been successful. But I wouldn't blame her for acting the way she was. The fact that nothing romantic had happened between us before asides the fact that we had to act married back then was probably what she was acting on. Should I have eased her into it?But I didn't force her on the bed, did I? I didn't hold her hand or pin her down to the bed so she shouldn't mad at me. Maybe I should apologize. Maybe she felt I had invaded her space. Gosh, women were so confusing. “Did you father disown you?”I looked up at Reggie, wondering what he was talking about. “What did you say?” “Why do you have that deep frown that means there's something wrong?”Should I tell him? He'll just criticize me and point out all the things I did wrong. But that was exactly what I needed. “N
ROSHIDAI walked back to my room with a whole lot on my mind. What had come over me? How could I sit there and let the prince almost kiss me? It's not like I was drugged or anything. I was perfectly awake and I let it happen. To make matters worse, the King had walked in. Why did he have to walk in at that moment? Why couldn't he walk in when Valfred was full clothed and not standing over me? Oh gosh, this is a disaster. How am I supposed to keep staying here after what just happened? Maybe this is a sign that I should leave. I should leave as quickly as possible and go back to my pack where I won't have to face him again. Speaking of him, what was he thinking when he was trying to kiss me? Was he drunk, perhaps? “There you are!”Sophia's voice startled me out of my thoughts and I just held my hand to my chest to calm my rapidly beating heart. “Why do you look like that? What's wrong?” Should I tell her? No, she was pro-Valfred and I didn't want her getting the wrong ideas.
ROSHIDAI thought he was going to say something but he just walked past me, stunning me as he went up the stairs. Did I do something wrong? Or was it something else? “Don’t worry about it. He's just mad about something.”I wonder what it was. I hadn't seen him like this before. I joined the Queen at the bottom of the stairs forgetting what I had come downstairs to do. What had made Valfred so mad like that? “Roshida, it's fine. He's not mad at you.”Well, I knew that but what was he mad at? I suddenly remembered why I was down here. “You asked to see me, My Queen.”“Yes, I did. But it seems like your mind is occupied with something else so I will look for you later. Go see him.”“What? Oh no, it's fine. I can see him later. This is important, isn't it?”I don't know why his temper was bothering me. After all, I hadn't done anything to him. “Roshida, we both know that your mind isn't here so go to him. I'll see later.”I wanted to argue with her but I remembered that she was th
VALFREDI thought about I entered the car. Going to Roshida's pack to see him won't do the damage I wanted it to do. And she would also get the information that I came there and I was the reason he left. I didn't even want her to know that I was aware of this. So I went to his pack. When I had seen the reports, his pack was ranking the lowest. Now, I could see why. The whole place was falling apart and it was like a junkyard. Was this the man my father had made an Alpha? If only he knew how much of a mistake he had made. I took pictures of the streets and the building so I could show how dilapidated they were. What was he doing with all the money he was given? I'd had to ask a couple of people for direction to his house since I'd never been here before. And I hoped that I didn't have to come out here again for his own sake. I knocked on the door, waiting for a
VALFREDI dropped the towel on a table before I entered my father's office. “Good morning, father. Mother tells me you called for me.”He looked up from his phone. “I told her not to set off those damn sprinklers. Take a seat.”So he knew of that too? “I wanted to speak to you about something I know you would not be comfortable talking about but nonetheless, I have to talk about it because it's necessary.”My father had a particular tone he used that let me know that things were serious. “What is the matter, father?” “As you know, I won't be young for much longer. Not that I'm young right now but I'm still agile. In a few years, you'll be taking over from me and before then, I need to make sure that you have met all the requirements of a King.”I still didn't know where this was going. “What efforts have you made towards finding a wife? I know all your past relationships didn't work o
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
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 “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
