The prince ran up to me as I stood outside and for once, I didn't feel the anger boiling in my chest.“Why’re you leaving so quickly? Bored already?”I wanted to answer him but my heart was beating very fast so I just shook my head.“Oh sorry about that. You seemed to have your hands full with all the men tonight.”Attention that I didn't want.“Men are like flies. They will go after everything.”What was the point of hiding my annoyance? All men were the same.“Oh well, I'm sorry if you were offended by anyone tonight..”Before I could think of a response, Sophia spoke up.“Some silly girl disrespected the Luna.”I turned around and gave her a look. I didn’t need her telling the Prince anything because it didn’t concern him.He stepped closer and I could see that the distance between us had shortened but he wasn’t too close yet.“Disrespected you

ROSHIDA When I say that I knew my happiness would be short lived, I was not lying.. Two days after the party, I received a message from the King. I was to come immediately. I dropped everything I was doing and ran out of the house. Sophia wasn't home and I knew she'd look for me so I dropped a penned note for her on the table in my office where I knew she'd look. I'm very sure that he was calling for me because he had finally found a witch. Which meant that in little to no time, I would be on my way to the Rogues. How delightful. I arrived at the Capitol but was not able to gain access to the palace early because of the immense congestion. Since today was the start of business activities for the week, it was expected. At some point, I was tempted to abandon the car and go on my bare feet to the palace because I didn't want to be late but again, I didn't want my car to be impounded. When I finally got to

ROSHIDA Thankfully, it didn't take very long for my stomach to become adjusted to the smell of werewolves. It was a miracle I hadn't prayed for and I didn't ever think I would pray for. Now I understood why Sophia always knew people were coming before they did. I remember always wishing for that because it seemed like a superpower. Now, I had it and I couldn't be happier. Well, at first, it seemed unpleasant. I was trying to compile some things I needed Sophia to do while I was gone when the door opened. I didn't turn around to look because I was too embedded in what I was doing and besides, I could smell now.. “Are you just going to stand there and stare at me?” She still didn't say anything. “If you are smitten by my beauty, just say it. I always knew you had a soft spot for me.” She snickered.“You have a guest.” “I’m busy. Tell them I'm busy, I don't want to see anyone. That's

VALFRED. Hours before the moon disappeared and got replaced by the sun, we were already awake. My father had addressed us last night because he wouldn't be awake when we left. I watched my mother dote over Roshida and I was surprised she didn't feel uncomfortable. It was obvious my mother likes her a lot and I was quite surprised that she hasn't told me to marry her yet. She was usually very good at that. Roshida was quiet for most of dinner and just listened to my parents rant about random things. The fact that they spoke about gaming and Kingdom matters like she wasn't there made me believe that they didn't mind having her around. We left on foot because even if we took a car, we'd have to leave it at an unknown destination when we couldn't use it anymore and that might blow our cover. The pack that we were aiming for was quite a distance from ours and it would take at least a couple of days to get there on foot.

ROSHIDA I got up early the next morning, hugged Sophia in her sleep since it took a thousand marching bands to get her to wake up and then dashed out of the door. I thought of not going with my car because I knew that I wouldn't be able to bring it back but then, I could just leave it at the Capitol. I'm sure they would take care of it. For the first time, the thought of the mission going wrong crossed my mind. If we are found out, we would be killed immediately. To send a message to the King and tell him that doing things like that has consequences, they would kill us without hesitation. I shouldn't be thinking about this now. It was bad luck, I would jinx myself. When I finally got to the Capitol, I went to see the King. Thankfully, the prince was with him. “Ah, here you are. I was beginning to think that Valfred didn't deliver the message properly.” “You have such little faith in me, father.”

ROSHIDA The farther we walked, the colder it became. I don't know why I didn't think about it when I was putting things in my bag. It was the North, Roshida. What did you expect? “You can take my jacket, I'm wearing a lot of clothes. I'm warm.” i looked at the jacket and then back at him. I couldn't ask him to do that. “No, it's fine. I'll be fine.” I won't be fine. My fingers were freezing and I could barely breathe right. The fact that it was still snowing heavily with the sun still in the sky wasn't helping matters. That was such a reverse help. “You don't look like you're fine and you'll probably turn into a popsicle by the time we get there so take it.” This time around, I didn't push it away. How on earth were we going to do anything in this condition? I hadn't exactly been to war before so this whole lifestyle was new to me. It felt like I was suffering for nothing.

ROSHIDA The pack was in ruins. There was no singular structure that was left standing. Everything had been burnt to the ground. The whole place looked like death and destruction had come in and had a sweep of the place. There was no living being in sight and the place was cold and unwelcoming.. I felt a chill down my spine as the wind blew hard. There was blood in the snow and in the air and I tried to imagine what had gone down. These animals didn't waste time in wiping out families. “We need to move now. Since it's almost nightfall, it'll be easier for us to locate them and blend in with the others. Let's go.” Just as he had said, it wasn't hard to locate them at all. They were quite loud with the dancing and the drinking and the loud shouting. They were having a big bonfire and they danced around it, pushing and shoving each other so hard. These men were huge. Bigger than normal.

ROSHIDA “Well, this is it.” The people were all huddled together, some giving us confused stares, some barely even paying attention to us. Valfred and I went to sit by the side a few feet away from a small group. There was the strong smell of dirt, blood and fuel. I didn't want to draw a lot of attention to myself by looking around but I was still trying to wrap my head around what I was seeing. These people hadn't asked for this. They had been living just fine before they were attacked and they didn't deserve this. Now, most of them had lost a family member and were about to be taken as slaves for the very people who ruined their lives while others lost their lives. “Do you think you'll be able to sleep?* He removed one of his shirts and handed it to me. “Use this as a pillow.” I doubted I'd be able to sleep here because of how uneasy I was. I mean being around all these people, in a new place when I didn't know when those men would come in for us wasn't exactly welcoming.

ROSHIDA The next morning, we were woken up bright and early. Well, I can't exactly include myself because I didn't sleep. I kept watch like a damn night guard until the doors were fling open and Borge walked in and filled the doorway. “Get up, you bastards! Today, you meet your new master. Come on, let's get it moving.!” They went around the room kicking people to get up and Valfred and I looked at each other. “Do you think they're going to chain us up? That would be highly unpleasant.” They told us to line up in a file and walk out the door. Thanks to Regina from last night, I had a cold and it felt like the snow was falling directly into my sinuses. “You sound congested. Are you that cold?” I wanted to tell him that it was his silly little friend that did this but I figured that he didn't know her or ask her to douse me in water so I swallowed the comeback. “Yeah, something like that.” We got into line and then we started moving. The sun was just setting in the sky and tha

ROSHIDAA FEW MONTHS LATER. It was a sunny day. A perfect day for the perfect event. But I had meetings. Being Minister for Trade really wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I thought that since I already worked at the Fortress, it would be like that but it wasn't like that at all. I barely had time to stay home anymore and my schedule was always so busy. No matter how busy I was, I always made time for my son. He mattered to me and I knew that he needed me in his life. He had started walking which made me very proud. He was really growing up to be a big boy. He didn't even crawl all that much. Just straight to walking. He was strong just like his mother. For the first time in a long time things seemed to be normal. I knew that saying that would jinx it but I didn't mind. Because I liked the peace. I liked the stability that came with this period, waking up every day and knowing that it was going to be a peaceful day. There was obvious still a little trouble here and there

ROSHIDAMy eyes opened to the bright light pouring into the room. My body aches and I felt so weak that it was a struggle to keep my head stable. I tried to move but a sharp pain pieced my side. ”Roshida, you're awake. Gosh, I was so worried!” Sophia came to sit beside me and she held my hand. “Water.” My throat hurt so bad because of how parched it was. As she handed me the water, I noticed that the bottle had a straw because it looked like a cup. Normally, she would have told me to sit up. “What’s going on? Why am I on the bed? And why do I feel like this? Did I go running again?”It was only when I went running that I felt like this. My body didn't like being stressed at all. “You were stabbed..I found you on the floor covered in your own blood. Half the rug was ready soaked and I didn't even know what to do so I just brought you up her so I laid my hands on you.” The fact that Sophia had powers wss no news to me but the fact that she chose to use it sparingly was what go

2VALFRED“Thats because your whole house is wired! They bugged your house and now you think they can hear you think. How stupid are you that you didn't realize this?”How long had he been going around saying stupid shit like that? There was no way that he actually believed all that. But that was besides the point. The point was that I wanted to know the person that was funding his life style and giving him the confidence to threaten the King. “Alpha Lucas, if you make me ask the question again-”He raised his hand to protect his head. “Okay okay, I'm coming. It's- it's the Rogues.” It was like I hadn't heard what he said. What Rogues?“We took out the Rogues. We took their camp and their pack. Do you think I'm stupid?”He was just saying that to avoid saying the actual thing. “Wait! Wait! Wait! I'm serious. It's the Rogues. I'll show you something.” He stood up to bring a letter for me from his desk. When I took the letter, the first thing I noticed was the letterhead. That was

ROSHIDAWhen I saw her, it was too late. I'd woken up that morning extremely tired because of the things that had happened last night. Valfred and I had crossed that line and there was no going back now. That wasn't an issue though. This was a man that I completely trusted and I knew he would never disappoint me.I went to take a shower because I had to be somewhere with the Queen today. She said she wanted me to go somewhere with her since Clarissa wasn't around and she needed female advice. I loved having the Queen around and I accepted the invitation as soon as possible. On my way to the bathroom, I saw Valfred note. “Dear Roshida, I'm sorry I had to leave before you woke up. I would have really loved to wake up to you in my arms and to your beautiful face but I have to go do this one small thing and then I'll be back. Don't miss me and have a day as beautiful as you. Your love, Valfred.”The note was very short but I kept reading it over and over. He could have just sent t

VALFREDWe walked around the house for a while, going from room to room to check for him but we couldn't find him anywhere. “My Prince, don't you think that he has run away? I mean, only a stupid person would see the princess here and would still want to stay. Only a Stupid person would let his daughter take his beating.” I think Borge was about to meet the most senseless person I've ever met. “Let’s go downstairs.We went downstairs to soeak to the guards. It was obvious that they didn't like us being here which was no problem because we did not like being here but we didn't have a choice. “Listen up, all of you. I'm not here for you so don't make this your war. Don't make this about you. Where is your Alpha? He's not in his rooms.”They looked at each other like they were waiting for one of them to be the one to say something. When one person finally stepped forward, the rest of them wanted to hold him back but he pushed their hands off him. “Why are you protecting him? You kn

VALFREDThe next morning, I set out very early. I didn't want to draw attention to the whole thing so I took only Borge and Reggie with me just as Roshida had asked me to. As I stood up and began to dress up, I looked down at her sleeping figure on the bed.My sweet girl. Roshida was my blessing and she was the only thing that could make me happy. I hurried up with what I was doing and on my way out, I placed a kiss on her forehead, whispering that I would surely be here by nightfall. I closed the door behind me, going downstairs to meet with Reggie and Borge who were already waiting for me. We got into the car, not wasting time since we had a very long way to go. I was beginning to hate going to this place but I don't have a choice. Hopefully, this was the last time I would have to go there. As soon as I get what I'm doing over with, I'll leave and not go back. The car ride was silent because everyone had just woken up from sleep and was trying to get their thoughts together. “

ROSHIDAWhen the King said that he would give me everything back, I didn't mean that he meant that I would even be added to more titles. He was made the Minister for Trade for the whole Lycan Kingdom and it blew me away. After dinner, I went to stand by the balcony and just let the fresh air hit me. I wondered if I would ever get free from that cell again and it was starting to feel real while I was in that place. I didn't have any faith either that Valfred would find a way out for me but I wanted to keep an open mind . I felt hands wrap around me from behind and I smiled widely, knowing who would be able to do a thing like that to me. “I should have known you'd be here. I wonder what hold this place has on you.”He came to stand beside me and lean on the railing. “It’s about the peace I feel when I'm here. It just feels like the calm away from the storm. This place is like the most peaceful place in the house .”The King had to reshuffle his cabinet members and also the Elders

VALFREDWe took Jason back home and took him to my father right away. I didn't want to have a chance at change his story again. “What is this? What is going on, Valfred? Who is this man that is bleeding all over my carpet?”My father was in session with his elders and the Alphas from that day with Jameson in his front. “I apologise for the blood, it was just something we needed to do. But we needed to bring him back here because we did a resweep of the whole thing and I was shocked to see that Jason, one of the guards was running away with a bag full of money. You may ask yourself where the money came from because no one else gave it to him except the ones who made him lie against Roshida.”The funny thing about the whole thing was that they were all in court with my father. All those people that were there that day were here. Of course, Jameson was the first to speak up because he didn't want his secret to be exposed. “My King! What is this?! How can't why bring him like this bef

VALFREDWe were sitting inside the house and we listened to everything that he said. “Are you willing to repeat everything that house said to me in front of the King? You obviously don't think that I will let you go free.”He stood up from the chair and kneelt down. “My Prince, please don't let me appear before the King again. He said he will kill me if I'm not saying the truth. I don't want to die, please.”I placed my hand on his shoulder. “Would you prefer me to kill you? Because if you refuse to tell my father the truth so that your Luna can go free, I will tell him the truth as I have recorded here on my phone and I will track you down and still kill you from lying against her. Do you know what you have done to her? She trusted you and believed that you will set her free. She housed you in her home and treated you like family. And how do you pay her back when she needs you the most? You lie against her.”“They said that they will kill my family! I couldn't let anything happen
