VALFRED

I didn't want to attend this meeting initially. Mainly because my father had sent me on another assignment earlier in the day and I'd just got back thirty minutes before his meeting was about to start and I entered his office, having to brief him about my assignment.

“What about the treaty? Was it signed? We need it signed in order to move on with our plan, Valfred.”

We were trying to make peace with the Vampires because my father needed a piece of land in their territory.

“We will have it signed, father. It's only a matter of time. If we can just convince them some more. Maybe if you would come with me-”

“No, forget it. That treaty is going to last longer than me so it's better they know you as the one who started it. You'll soon be taking over from me. You need to start showing your face more.”

I wanted to tell him that's what I'd been doing I'm the last six months but I was too tired to say anything else.

“Speaking of showing your face more, I have a meeting with all th

    ROSHIDAOf course, I didn't know what else to expect after what had happened at the meeting. Did I perhaps imagine that other Alphas would be eager to meet me or maybe I'd make more friends after everything that had happened. As the hall cleared out, I just sat back with Sophia, letting the angry men look at me on their way out. Some of the Alphas did walk up to me to shake my hand, promising to come over later and see me later. “Why’re we still sitting here as if we want to see the principal? I'm hungry.”“We need to see the King. I think he has a thing or two to say.”From the way he looked at me, I knew that he wanted to say something to me. “Or maybe you just want to see the handsome prince.”I scrunched my face at her because I hadn't even been thinking about him. My eyes scanned the room and found him at the door, shaking the hands of the men who were leaving. Speaking of men who were leaving, Sophia nudged me and asked me to look beside me. Felix was standing there, look

    ROSHIDAI guess I could officially say that my kingdom had been set up. Everything that had been damaged had been repaired, everything missing had been replaced. It did cost a lot but thankfully, I had the help of the Lycan King who saw to it that everything I needed was provided. I was really grateful to him. All this couldn't have happened without his help. All that was left now was the setting up of my cabinet, my coronation and the opening of the Fortress for activities. I planned to start with the smallest of them which was the setting up of my cabinet. Of course, Sophia would be a part of it since she was my Beta. I didn't have a Gamma either and I sincerely didn't know how to go about this. Asking the Lycan King would make me seem unprofessional. I told Sophia about the issue one evening. “I don't think I want to just randomly pick some old men just because it's sad that white hairs

    ROSHIDAThree hours before I was supposed to meet with the men from yesterday, Sophia told me that I needed to come see something in the throne room and I needed to come now. I left my office, wondering what the urgency of the situation was. Was the King here? But the King wouldn't just show up. As I entered, I met a couple of people I hadn't seen before along with one of the men from yesterday. “What's going on and who are these people?” “Luna, I received information that some of the men from this pack have a plan against you that they intended to carry out last night and my source informed me of their meeting place so along with a few other boys from the pack waited for them at their hideout and apprehended them.”Sophia looked at me and she finally understood my plan..As soon as the men left, I'd asked the guards to secretly send information out to all the men that I'd selected that a plan to kill me wa

    VALFRED If I'd known that my mother would react this way, I wouldn't have brought it in front of her. After our last meeting, my father approached me and told me to be the spy tomorrow the Rogues. At first, I thought it was outrageous. Other kingdoms treated their Crown Princes like gems and protected them at every cost. But not my father. If there was a dangerous mission, my father would rather send me than one of his guards. My father and I looked at each other as my mother practically rained down fire and brimstone. “How can you do a thing like this? He's your only child and yet you treat him even less than your subjects?! You want him to be a spy?!” She wasn't letting anyone get a word out. “Why do you hate him so much? Do you want to kill him before he can take over from you?”

    ROSHIDA The man hadn't even spent an hour here and I was already dreading my life. I gave Sophia a look. She would pay for making me do this. “As I was saying, I have a lot of land to my name. My army is one of the strongest as well. I'm surprised you say you have not heard of me.” I'm so glad I hadn't heard of him till today. I didn't have the time to hear about such an arrogant man. Ever since we'd sat down at the dinner table, all he'd talked about was his wealth. “I don't put my nose in things that don't concern me. I didn't have any reason to hear about you.” I could see that I hurt his ego but sincerely, I didn't care. I just wanted him to leave. “Well Luna, I'm also a very serious man so I'll get straight to the point and won't waste your time. Back at the meeting, I found you to be a very smart and privileged young lady.

    ROSHIDAWhen I got the message that the King wanted to see me, I was scared. The first thing that came to my mind was whether that fat pig had gone to report to him. Even though I hadn't done anything wrong, being summoned by the King especially without being told the reason would send shivers down anybody's spine. Despite the fact that we may have a relationship, that was with my father. He would still put me in my place and punish me when I did something wrong. If he had truly gone to report me, then it meant that I had to prepare my case to be presented to the king too. I knew that a man like that would want to make sure that everything worked in his favor. Thankfully, I had witnesses. “Should I come with you?” No, I didn't think it was necessary this time around. I could handle it myself. “No, I need you to go somewhere else for me.”The meeting was scheduled for noon but I'd left two ho

    VALFREDI didn't think she'd agree. She just took over as Luna. And asking her to leave everything and come with me was a little too much to ask. But she agreed. I could see that she didn't do it willingly but with my mother's persistent attitude and my father's convincing one, she didn't have a choice. Moreover, my father made it seem like it was a favor he was asking. Meanwhile, it was an order and no one, especially a Luna or Alpha wouldn't want to be caught disobeying the King. I just didn't expect her to walk out like that. I just stood there with the papers in my hand, wondering if I'd said anything wrong. But I knew it was because of what happened. I couldn't let her hate me. She was my mate and I was meant to make her love me the natural way. If she ended up hating me because of my status, then I was a lost cause. After she left, I went to see my parents. Perhaps I could talk them i

    ROSHIDAThese days, everything seems less interesting to me. I couldn't find myself smiling or finding joy in little things. “Are you still like this? You're acting as if the King ahs told you to go back to your marriage with Felix.”If he had said that, I would have killed myself by now. I would do everything to make sure that I didn't go back to him and even after my death, he won't enjoy a single penny from it. “What difference does it make between what he said and that? If I die, my father's lineage will be wiped out and someone else will take over. Someone who's probably not worthy of the throne.” I couldn't imagine it. My father's line dying out, that's why he had four children because he wanted to make sure his line continued at all costs. “But I still don't see any reason why the prince can't go alone. Why can't he go alone? He's no longer a kid. Or is he all talk until it gets to actual missions?”My m

    VALFREDI wanted to move but I knew that the old man wasn't kidding when he said he would use his knife..“I thought you said you already had your answer.”He was standing very close to me.“Yes, I did. But I want to hear it from you. Who sent you?”The old man seemed like he had a lot of sense So i didn't think I would have to worry about them snitching.“The king. The king sent me.”He stayed like that for a while and then moved back.“Are you sure?”“Your knife was at my throat. You think I'll want to risk lying?”He laughed and sat back down in his chair. How old was this man?I mean, with all my training I didn't hear when he got up and came all the way here. He must have some training as well.“I don't know why but I trust you.”He sure as hell didn't act like it.“But the key is not there.”No shit.He seemed like he knew a lot of secrets around this place so I don't think I should worry about this.He removed the chain from around his neck and there was a key as the pendant.“

    VALFREDI told Roshida the truth that I didn't have a plan. She understood immediately and said that we would find a way.The annoying thing now was I didn't know who else to being in on this plan..“Sonia doesn't mind running away. Infact, I think she'll like it more.”Sonia, it was then.Roshida said she'll tell her everything while I took care of the rest.I'd given myself two days to plan everything..I didn't know when these people planned to go on that mission and I would most definitely be a part of them..Borge won't let me go so I had to move fast. But we had to be careful because the walls had ears.I decided to go check out the place that Clyde has told me about . My job as a guard will help me scout out the place but the thing is being caught..he said it was in an open place and I'd always see people there.He was right. I told Roshida about the place and she wanted to come along with me but I couldn't risk it. It would bring too much attention to us.There were houses arou

    VALFREDWe eventually stopped walking. It seemed like it was a different part of the kingdom because despite the fact that it was still quite cold and there was snow, there was another color besides white and black.It was quite a small pack and Borge had already said that we wouldn't have difficulty in raiding the place. They did have an Alpha but they also had a small army which meant that by the time they brought their men, it wouldn't mean anything if they wanted to invade them.“We can't get all the information we need from out here. We're sending two of you in. You'll have to blend in and find out what you can.”I didn't want to do that. I think staying out here was safer for me.“Reagen! Clyde! You'll go”.Screw my life. Why did I have to go?“You guys look like the leash suspicious people here.”When I looked at the pool of people to choose from, I realized Borge was right. It'll be obvious that they weren't part of them.“You are to find out how close they are to the Lycan K

    ROSHIDAWith the king's promise at heart, I returned back to that place knowing that I had nothing to worry about.I had officially gone to plead my case and now, he knew about it. All I had to wait was for the letter of approval to be delivered. Then, I would pack every last thing that belonged to me in this house and leave without looking back.Speaking of the things that belonged to me, Sophia and I decided that it wàs a good idea to take an inventory of what I had so I'd know if those people had played any games recently.We spent at least two days doing that because it was not easy walking around the house and pack, looking at things without being seen or noticed.When we were eventually done, I still had a significant amount of property and it warmed my heart that I would return to my father's house with something to my name.“Did the King say when you'd hear from him?”I wanted to ask but I didn't want to seem too forward. He had already done a lot for me by letting me get div

    ROSHIDAThe King was silent.“Do you realise what you are asking, young lady? You want to leave your husband? A highly decorated Alpha? Firstly, do you realise the implications that carry?”Screw the implications.“My King, I've thought about it and I'm ready to bear it all. Nothing is too much to bear as long as I get to leave that house..I've suffered more than enough and I deserve better. I'm ready to face it all”.I looked at the prince and he he gave me a small nod.I remembered what he said earlier.“Don’t let him win this.”I wouldn't. I didn't want to leave him in the first place.I just needed him to be convinced. If I can plead mycase to him and he accepts it, then I'm fine.“Roshida, that's your name right? The reason your father sent you to military school, if I remember clearly, was because you were born without a wolf. He didn't want you to be trampled upon. I don't want that either for you.”I was wolfless but I wasnt useless.I felt more at ease, like I was talking to

    VALFREDI knew since we left early, it would be cold. But not this cold.Even when I stepped out of the tent to meet up with the other guys who were huddling up with each other for warmth, I didn't realize how cold it was.”Wanted to make sure you got enough kisses for the trip, eh Regean?”All the guys laughed and I just shook my head.“Gonna need some fuel for the journey. It's a long way, you know.”“Yeah, sucks to leave your wife. I'll never leave a woman like that. You'd have to kill me first.”I felt that way too but what was I to do? She'd already gotten into trouble. I didn't want to make it equal by getting into trouble too.I had no reason to be leaving the pack. I'd rather stay here and gather information with Roshida.“Yeah man, I feel that way too. Are you leaving soon or what?”Just then, Borge emerged from the main house accompanied by some other guards. Just a few feet away was the place I'd rather be.“I'm sure youve all been briefs on why you're here. We have a very

    ROSHIDA I woke up as soon as he did. Maybe it's because my brain already knew that he was leaving or because I was laying on him and I knew when he moved to get off the bed. I stayed awake while he moved around the room trying to get ready. “Borge said to meet him at the gate.” To be honest, I didn't want him to leave. He was one of the only people that made being here less terrible.. I guess Sophia was right when she said that he was a good person. She was a good judge of character. Before I married Felix, she'd told me that there was something off about him. I thought it was just because she didn't know him, I mean, I didn't know him either so of course something would be off about him. But everything had been wrong with him. I wanted to walk him to the gate so I could say goodbye to him but I didn't want to be out yet. I might bump into the Matron. “Would you be fine without me?” “

    VALFRED “Did something happen?” She shook her head. “Everything is fine. Why do you ask?” I knew there was something wrong. Her attitude had changed. “Are you mad at me because I forced you to eat?” She turned to me.“What? No, you were just trying to help. I just-” She took a deep breath obviously thinking about whether she should say something or not. “Coast came in her today, saying things about you and it got me mad.” I don't know what that bastards issue was. I knew that he had eyes for Roshida but I didn't know it had gotten to the point where he would come in when I was away just to see her. “You don't have to let him bother you. He's a bastard. He won't disturb you again.” I'll deal with him when I get the chance to. Maybe now was my chance. “Give me a moment. I'll be back.” I left the room and went out into the main tent. If he had an i

    ROSHIDA“What are you trying to say, my prince?”“Gosh, not again. Don't tell me we're back to that. I thought we were past that.”I thought we were past it too but clearly….“Ro, listen. I'm not trying to accuse you of anything. I'm just trying to help you out..you haven't eaten anything in days and you expect me not to do anything about it?”I wasn't in the mood to talk about this.“I don't know what you want me to say. There are other people who haven't eaten too. Why don't you bug them?”“Because they are not my wife! You are. I thought I told you that it'll be fine. Why aren't you eating? I'm not trying to fight with you or blame you when you're the victim. I take full responsibility for what happened that day and if I could take the pain too, I would.”I wanted to say something but the words failed me. I thought he wouldn't notice. He was always very busy with work and I thought it would be an oversight for him..“Sonia told you, didn't she?”He didn't even try to deny it.“She
