FELIX“So you're trying to say that she beat you up? But she doesn't have a wolf and you're an Alpha and a little warrior. How's that possible?” The fact that I was narrating this story again was telling on my ego. I wanted to forget that it even happened. A mere woman could defeat a hero like me. If anyone heard it, my reputation would be ruined. I had to ask Fiona to help me massage my body since I couldn't get the doctor. It was like I'd been beaten for several hours. It was a stupid thing I'd done, hitting myself against the wall to get her off me. I should have just shaken her off instead of putting myself in harm's way. Now, she was the one unharmed. “She apparently received training as a child. I had no idea her father trained her to be a warrior since she didn't have a wolf. She didn't show me that part of her when I first married her.” Maybe if she had shown me that side of her, I would have seen her in a different light. I'd always thought she was just some weak woman
ROSHIDAThe King didn't have to give me twenty four hours to leave. We left that same day, taking eveye last bit of property with us. He'd given me guards to help carry things back to the pack. As I stepped out of that house for the last time, I looked back and saw him looking at me through the window. He thought he could be smart and take everything that belonged to me but I'd won. I'd won in the end and I'd taken everything that he and his greedy family wanted to take from me. I'm sure he felt so stupid. The King hadn't been joking when he said that he renovated the pack. Everything was new again and as I stepped into the house I'd grown up in, a wave of emotions hit me at once and I just stood staring at the house. The house in which id been born, that once held the Alpha and Luna, that had once been bustling with life was now as quiet as a grave yard. My mother and I would often sit in the garden and speak for hours, telling me about my brothers and father since they weren'
ROSHIDAI tried not to panic be sure it wasn't going to do me any good. Hearing that news made me hasten up the interview process and I made sure that the Fortress was heavily guarded. I spared no excess in seeing to it that every corner of the place was sealed off so that in case of an attack, the people would be safe and sound.I didn't think it was right for me to tell the Lycan King about it yet. I'm sure he would have heard of it on his own and would be making plans to deal with it. When I got home that day, I told Sophia about it and she thought the same thing too. “I think the most we can do is to keep an eye out for any strange movements. I'll ask the guards to be mounted at the border, parading it round the clock. Until they pose a potential threat to us, it's not exactly our problem.” I was not about to start a war I knew I couldn't finish. I wasn't even ready for a war in any way.After that news had been delivered, it had taken just two weeks for the order to come fro
ROSHIDAIf I’d known earlier that my mate would come back with a woman, I would have gone on my knees and begged my mother to make another choice. A little introduction before we get into it. My name is Roshida, the late Alpha's daughter and I'm wolfless. My mother arranged for me to marry a Beta three months ago. I'd married him without a second thought because she wanted me to. It was her dying wish and how could I say no to my mother? I have always trusted her choice. I couldn't exactly say I'd married him because he didn't even attend the ceremony. He'd been called to fight some war and I had to stand there like a fool at the altar, saying my vows into thin air. I didn't know what was more pathetic between that and having to act like I was happy with everything. Now he came back from the battlefield not only with a promotion to be Alpha, but a woman he claimed to be his fated mate. What a joke. It was a hot sunny afternoon in the middle of June when he casually strolle
ROSHIDAAs I sat in my room that night, I felt like a fool. It was now my room because Felix had come in and said that he was now going to be sleeping with Kelly. Of course, I should have seen that coming. After everything that I'd done for this family, all because I felt that I had a new family. Felix didn't have a lot of money before. He was a Beta with little to nothing going for him so of course, when I married him, it meant that I had to do something for him and his family. I'd started by taking over his mother's medical bills. When he left, she was in dire need to help and I didn't think twice before paying for everything. Now, she's come back to see her in better shape and he didn't even say anything to me. The only thing he could do was bring another woman home with him. I should have seen it coming right from the start. The way he agreed to marry me without knowing anything about me. I didn't want to blame my mother for my present predicament. She had only done what s
ROSHIDASophia had been with me for so many years. Back home, she'd been my personal maid and she'd proven herself to be my friend and the sister I never had. She was there for me when my father, brothers and mother died, helping me get through the grief I thought would envelope me. That's why I knew I could trust her with everything. “Luna, do you realize what you're saying? Please, don't make harsh decisions in the heat of the moment. They will come back to bite you.” At this point, I didn't care. Felix and his family had gone insane and my parents didn't raise a fool that would sit back and watch as everything was being taken away from her while she did nothing. “Sophia, does this look lIke the face of a woman who cares? What do I have to lose? What? My title? Not exactly. Someone else already has it.”At this point, I didn't care about anything. I didn't care about being married to Felix anymore. The marriage never meant anything to him anyways so why should I be the one figh
ROSHIDAThe room was dead silent like the time when she first walked in. I'd gotten her tongue tied and I was enjoying it. Her mouth was open but sounds were not coming out. What a hypocritical bitch. “On a lighter note, Felix was promoted to Alpha for his efforts in the war. You know that if you work alongside her and become her co-wife, things could work out.”I felt myself get dumber just listening to her. In what sick world did she think that this could work out? Even if I did agree to this, we would have each other for the rest of our lives and be sworn enemies. I didn't have time for all that and certainly not with a woman who was cheap enough to take someone else's husband.I mean, think about it. He's the Alpha now, and he did say that he met her at war. You could stay back and handle things at the pack while he goes out with her to fight wars. I'm sure you're too soft and tush for all that so no one expects that from you.”This woman clearly didn't know how I was brought u
FELIXIt was dinner time and there was no one at the table which was weird because usually, my mother would have been there. I went upstairs to look for her. I was sure that she had fallen asleep reading a book or something. “What are you saying? Return everything to you? Do you really think you did this family a favor?”Who was Fiona speaking to in Roshida's room? The door was slightly open so I just stood there and listened in. “I’m very sure you weren't deaf when I said it. Everything that I've given to you and your mother will be returned to me. It is mine, after all.”What was Roshida saying? I opened the door and walked in. “What’s going on?”My mother clutched my arm. “Son, you should hear what your wife is saying. She's saying that she wants to leave you and that she wants everything to be returned to her. Talk some sense into her. Tell her it's not possible.” I looked at her, waiting for her to say that it was a lie. But she didn't. “Is she telling the truth? You wan

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
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
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
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
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
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 lette
