ROSHIDA

If I wasn’t dead before, I sure as hell would be dead now. I had just talked back to the King and not just that, I’d told him that he was wrong.

The King was silent after that and I stared at him square in the eye because despite the fact that I knew that I had done the right thing, it still didn’t stop the fact that I had gone against the King’s laws and I had changed it. Also, he didn’t look very happy about it.

It was one of the elders who spoke up instead of the King.

“How dare you speak to the King that way? Perhaps you do not know how things are done here as you are a woman. You must never speak to the King in that manner.”

What did that have to do with anything?

“Perhaps it is you who do not know that the King put me in this position. Am I no longer allowed to plead my case or will I be executed before I am proven guilty?”

He opened his mouth to speak but the King raised his hand and stopped him. The court doors opened and Valfred walked through. I forgot that he was a

    ROSHIDA“If I may ask, what makes you think that you should get the house and the child? To the best of my knowledge, you already have a new wife, a baby on the way and you have the house so why do you still want a child from your last marriage?”The pig couldn’t say a word and he kept stuttering.“My King, the child is mine. I don’t need a reason to want him. This woman has no money and no home. How would she feed him? According to the law, I can take everything away from her as long as I don't want to be married to her anymore. She has no right to anything.:”I hope they could all hear just how ridiculous it was sounding.“So by the time you take the child away from her what do you think will happen to her?Have you thought about that?”He looked at her.“My king, look at her. She’s old, ugly and thin. I don't care about her anymore. She could do what she wants with her life. I just want her to be gone so I can raise my child and live with my family.”I wanted to slap him. So hard.“

    ROSHIDA After the meeting, I had to see the King personally. I stood with my head facing the ground. “I must say, when the issue was reported to me, I was livid. Infact, I was so mad that I thought that at the end of the day, I'd strip you of your title. This has never been done before.” I thought my head was going to be gone too. “You will play a very valid role for your people, Luna. And I can already see that you're going to be not just their leader, but their friend too.” If I was going to be a good leader, then I'll step on toes. A lot of toes. “Thank you, my King. I just did what I thought was right. Thank you for hearing me out. And thank you for helping that woman. She would have had nothing if not for you.” He waved it off.“Oh, it's nothing. I mean, you opened my eyes to see how ridiculous it was that her husband got to laugh last after everything. I'll take a better look at the othe

    VALFRED When I heard that my father’s court was in session, I rolled my eyes. I knew that there was no way that I could miss out on it no matter how much I wanted to. It was always so boring and aggravating. But when I heard that Roshida was involved, I didn't think twice before leaving my mother and rushing all the way there. What is the matter this time? The way she was able to stand up for herself despite being in front of my father and his cabinet made me quite impressed. The fact that she had changed not just one law was a brave move and I knew my father frowned against every form of disrespect and everything that seemed like one was going against him. The way she spoke so proudly, knowing that she had done the right thing got to me and I couldn't bring myself to look away from her. Even when Elder Rossi seemed to frustrate her efforts, she spoke back at him. He was the major reason I hated being in court. He

    ROSHIDA After replying everything to Sophia as it happened, she sat beside me in awe. “Woah, I have to say that you really have some balls. You stood up to the king and his elders?” That man who thought he could make things work out in his favor was going to be my biggest fan, ironically. He was going to make things hard for me now that I was going to be in the legislative council. “Oh, did I add that the King wants me to be a part of the legislative council? I guess something good comes out of trouble.” My mind cast back to the palace and I saw Valfred’s face when I was speaking about Felix. I didn’t get to thank him but I was really grateful for what he did for me. The way he stood up for me like we had spoken about it before, not minding if his father would get mad at him for taking sides. “What did you just say?” I looked at Sophia as I popped a grape in my mouth.“What are you talking about?”

    ROSHIDA I stood in the centre of the room, staring at myself in the mirror as the seamstress moved around me like a merry-go-round, putting pieces of material together and sewing them together. “Do we really have to do this? Can’t you just take my measurements or something?” I’d finally sent the reply back and since there was just a day left, we had to get the dresses ready. It was quite sad that I could not wear my normal black leather outfit. Apparently, everyone had seen me in it. “Isn’t the cleavage a little low? I don’t need men staring down my top. Close it up,I'm uncomfortable.” As if life was against me, Sophia entered the room. “Hold on a minute. What are we closing up?” “The Luna said she didn't want the cleavage to be so low so we’re going to close it up. Although, that will be a very sad thing because I must say you have a pair of very nice breasts.” It was weird to hear that from anyone, esp

    ROSHIDA Sophia was right when she said that we were going to be so pretty. The tailor had called last minute and said that she needed to change a few things and even though I didn't understand what she was saying, I just told her to do what she felt was best. I didn’t know how it was going to turn out but I didn't care though. It’s not like I cared about going to the party so the way I looked didn't exactly matter. But as I stood in front of the mirror, I had to admit that this was perfect and yes, I was glad that they both stopped me from closing up the cleavage. “Isn’t that lipstick too bright?” “There is no such thing as “too” in fashion. Everything that happens is for a reason.” I let Sophia do whatever she wanted and finally, she clapped her hands together. “I’ve created a masterpiece. You should be put in a museum and not allowed to move. Unless you have to pee, of course.” Sophia had a

    VALFRED When my father told me about the party, I was reluctant to go especially after hearing that it was in Lucas’s pack. I didn’t want to be anywhere near here but he didn’t give me a choice. I don’t know why he couldn't just go by himself. I got there late on purpose and asked them not to bother announcing my arrival because I didn't want to be here. What was the point of pretending? As soon as I entered, I walked straight for a table and just sat down. “My King, should I bring you anything to eat or drink?” I would rather die than eat or drink anything here. I didn’t trust that bastard and I never will. “No, just let me be.” It was only a matter of time before other people heard about my presence and I was shaking hands and accepting more greetings for my father than I could remember. I wasn’t just approached by Alphas who were trying to get on my good side, there were also women who were

    ROSHIDA Did I expect attention? Yes. But not this type of attention. As soon as we sat down, we started getting approached. Well more like I started getting approached because Sophia just sat quietly behind me like she had done her part and was watching it all play out. Thankfully,there was an open chair beside me so I sat there looking like I was holding an interview in the middle of the party since the chair was not vacant for more than five seconds. They kept asking me for dances and I kept turning them down because not only did I not want to leave my chair, I didn't want to dance with any of them. They were all opportunists. “Where are all these people coming from? Sophia, help me!” Before she could respond, I felt a presence in front of me and I turned back around. “Hi beautiful.” I almost rolled my eyes. If you were going to disturb my peace, at least be good at it. The waiter

    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.”
