ROSHIDA“Come in. I hope dad didn't send you.”As we entered the house, I saw Reggie sitting on the couch and he waved to me.The place was actually very beautiful.“Dad didn't send me. I came because someone wanted to talk to you.”Valfred hadn't even turned around for once to see that I was standing in the room.“Who was the person who wanted to speak to me? If it's mum, I'll call her later. You didn't have to come all the way out here. It's too far. And you didn't even tell me you were coming.”What the hell was he doing that he hadn't even turned around for once.Clarissa dropped her bag on the couch.“I’m not the one who wants to speak to you. It's Roshida.”I was expecting him to turn around and then look but he didn't. He did pause though.“What did she say? She's still mad at me. She hasn't responded to my texts. When you went to see her today, did she look like she had been crying?”Clarissa looked at me and I shook my head. If he knew, it would just make him more angry.“No

VALFRED“What if I don't want to be a free man?” She turned around to look at me. She looked so exhausted. “What on earth are you talking about? Why wouldn't you want to be a free man to be able to make your own choices?”I don't know if she was doing this on purpose or she truly didn't know how I felt. “Roshida, if I have offended you in any way, I would like to apologize.”“Valfred, what are you talking about? How did you offend me? You haven't done anything wrong. I asked you why you don't want to be a free man.”For the first time in my life, words failed me. I didn't know the way to express what I felt for her. That was because I didn't even understand what I felt. It was enveloping every part of my senses. “Have you ever for one second, seen me as more than the Prince?”She didn't answer immediately. “Where is that question coming from?” “Your answer would let me know how to answer your question.”The fact that she hadn't taken her hand away was hope that she was still he

VALFREDI came back home, just like everyone wanted me to.I wasn't happy about it because I knew that my mother and Clarissa would be in my business and I know that they were just trying to care for me..But I didn't need that right now. All I wanted was to be left alone.I don’t remember the last time I asked my father to give me work but that morning, I walked into my father's office, hoping that he would not be busy.“Good morning, father.”He and Mark looked up at me, obviously not realizing that I was walked in because of how busy they were.”Good morning, Father.”I'd forgotten he didn't know that I was back yet.”Valfred, you're back. Is there a problem?”.Mark stood up immediately.“Your majesty, I'll leave you and the Prince alone.”I didn't speak until I heard the door close behind me..“There is nothing wrong, father. I apologize for.the tone with which I spoke to you that day. I was angry, very angry. Please know that I mean no disrespect to you.”He stood up and walked o

VALFRED“If I feel any bite in my sleep, I assure you that you're going to die.”Reggie had been complaining about the hotel from the minute we stepped out of the car. He didn't like sleeping out and I knew that but it slipped my mind to tell him that it was going to take us at least three days to come back. “Reggie, the reviews say this is the best hotel in the area. I don't know what else to tell you. It does look nice, don't you think?” My optimism was not appreciated and the look he gave me let me know. He went to take a shower while I settled into the desk and began to look through the files. This was not the first time that I would be clearing out weapons but this was the first time I'd be offloading them from the ship. I usually only saw them when they brought them to the house for inspection. At some point, Alpha Lucas was going to hear of my presence even though I didn't want him to. I mean, seeing as our first meeting wasn't exactly one of pleasure,.it is expected that

ROSHIDAThe room was silent.It had been silent since I got back from the coast. I didn't know what was wrong and dhene Sophia had asked me earlier, I didn't know what to say.I'd been doing a lot of thinking, thinking that would allow me to put things in order so that the thoughts going through my head would make sense.“You know, if I didn't know you any better, I would have said that you were pregnant.”I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her,confused as to where that thought was coming from.“What did you say? Why the hell would that be the first thing that comes to your mind?”She walked over to me, waving at Liam that was in my arms.“Because I believe that is the only thing that you will do that you won't be able to talk to me about. You've been a shadow of yourself for days and I've been asking you what is going on but you don't want to say anything. Have you done something I won't be proud of or what is the matter? You got back from the coast and you've been looking mo

ROSHIDAI sat with my phone in my hand.I didn't know if I should make this call or not. Sophia's words still resonated in my head even after hours had happened and I felt so bad.Now that she had said it, everything that he had done began to make sense. Gosh, how could I be so blind to this?I didn't even know that my thumb has mistakenly made the call that I been thinking about making.“Hello?”I pressed the phone to my ear.“Gosh, I'm so sorry, I had no idea that I made the call already. How're you, Clarissa?”She sighed.“I’m doing okay. How're you?”I didn't know if I should answer that question.“Clarissa, I wanted to ask you something. The day of the Queen's party, when Valfred was talking, your father said that he revoked the Crown because of what happened. What exactly did Valfred say?”“Well, he didn't officially revoke it. He just said it in anger and my father didn't honor it because he knew that Valfred wasn't serious about it. He said that if he can't have you, he'd rath

VALFREDReggie and I shared a look.The conversation that had just happened in the last thirty minutes was one I never thought would happen.The car was completely silent and this was the most awkward situation I had ever been in.“So basically, you're telling me that if I dont marry your daughter, you will launch an attack against the Lycan Kingdom?”Alpha Lucas smiled and nodded.“That’s about right. I mean, what's there not to attack? Your father's family has hoarded the monarchy for centuries while my family had to sit on the sidelines and watch. We were not made to be Alphas! We were made to be Kings!”Alpha Lucas' pack was not one of the small ones. As a matter of fact, since he owned the port, it was a huge advantage to him because he was in charge of all the trade that was coming in.But he knew and I knew that that alone wouldn't be able for him to overthrow my father. He had allies, he had help. My main aim was to know who his help was.“You’re not that brave. Tell me, who h

ROSHIDAI kept looking at my phone to check if he had called me back.I mean, even if he were busy, he should have known that we didn't have a proper conversation and called me back to check what I really wanted.But then again, he didn't owe me anything. After all, Clarissa already said that he was busy.When I learnt that the port where he had work was in Alpha Lucas' pack, I sighed loudly. I didn't want a reason to be here after what happened but then, I had to choose between that and waiting for the Prince to come back when I didn't know when he would come back.So the best thing was just to go to him. I'll tell him how I feel and I'll just leave so I don't embarrass myself. Yes, that's what you're going to do.“Stop thinking and focus on the road.”Clarissa's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I'd forgotten that she had called me earlier and asked about what happened and I told her.“Took you long enough.”That was her response. How could I be the only one to not know that I l

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.”
