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

ROSHIDA “What?” “What are you, deaf? I said strip!” She looked at us and figured that no one could help her out so she started taking her clothes off one after the other. She was weeping as she stood stark naked in the bare snow and Borge and his men enjoyed the sight in front of them. The men on the ground turned their faces away since they couldn't do anything to help her. “Go on, run. You have a chance to actually run away. If you can manage to do that, then I'll let you go. It'll be like a little game between us okay? You have a head start though, twenty seconds. Run.” She looked unsure and looked around for a moment. “Come on, go.” Her eyes met mine before she took off very fast. That's when I realized that she had been beside me last night. If she timed it well, she might actually have a chance at freedom. My heart beat as Borge began to count and she had just gone past where the body lay. The issue was that they kept running in a straight line, right in front of th

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

VALFRED“Tomorrow, before the sun comes up, meet me here. If you fail to show up, we can still leave without you.”As much as I didn't want to leave Roshida, I had to.The night before, I returned back to the tent and she was sitting on the bed.“What are you doing?”“You’re back early. Why?”I didn't want to talk about that right now. I sat down beside her and gave her the food I had brought for her.“Thank you. Sonia was here earlier to look for you.”Hearing her voice and seeing her face were like power pills for me. It made me so refreshed and everytime I felt down, I always knew that her voice was enough to make me strong.Maybe it was the fact that she was well rested but she looked prettier today.“Do you know what she wanted?”She shook her head.“I’ll go look for her then. In the mean time, I'm leaving tomorrow before the sun comes up.”I tried to read her expression, I couldn't. There was no smile, there was no frown, there was no squeezing of any muscle.Did she even care a

ROSHIDA“You have to be joking, right?”I looked at him and didn't blink so he'd know that there was no atom of humor in what I said.“Do you want her to come drag me here by my hair again? I'm trying to avoid trouble so just let me go. I'll be very careful.”Sonia entered the room.“Valerie, why're you on your feet? Why're you out of bed? Where are you going?”Great, another person to yell at me.Valfred turned to her.“Its good you're here, maybe you can talk some sense into her. She wants to go to work. In this condition, work!”Sonia turned back to me.“Val, what is this? Why are you talking about work when you're not fully healed? Your wounds haven't even begun to scar. Stop joking around and just stay home.”Someone called her name outside so she left.“Even after what she did to you, you still want to go out there and act like nothing happened. This may all be a plan, but what she did to you was not a plan. Your injuries are real, Ro. Stop trying to ignore it. And until you're

ROSHIDA“Where did you find a bed? I thought we couldn't have any of those?”He gave me the drugs to take.“And where did you get these?”There was no answer from him.“Valfr-”“Just let it go. It doesn't matter, does it? You're already on the bed and you've already taken the drugs so just let it go.”That was the first time he had ever raised his voice at me and I didn't even know what I did.I didn't say anything after that because there was nothing to say.I knew I couldn't sleep so I turned my head away from him and faced the wall.Did I do something wrong?Was he mad at me for getting to trouble?If I'd known that the matron had a thing against us eating, I would have hidden the food when I saw her coming.Maybe it was my fault, really.Maybe he got into trouble and that's why he's mad at me..“I’m sorry.” We said at the same time.“Ro, no. You did nothing wrong and you have nothing to be sorry for. Infact, I should be the one apologizing. I should have been careful and warned yo

ROSHIDAIt was my fault. I should have hidden the food just like Sonia did when we saw her walking towards us. But I didn't think we were doing anything wrong.I didn't think that eating was now a punishable crime so that is why I wasn't bothered.I could barely keep my head up. I could barely speak when Sonia came to my side and told me not to worry. I was going to tell her that I wasn't worried but how would I speak?My back felt like there were a thousand little pins in them, all pricking me at the same time.My body was too weak, too wounded and I felt so happy when she walked away complaining of being tired. It was only a matter of time before I started crying and begging for mercy and I didn't want to give her that satisfaction.Despite being in and out of consciousness, I could still hear some people laughing. Well, I guess it's good to know that some people were happy with what happened.I could hear Regina's voice but I couldn't make out what she was saying and I didn't get

VALFREDWe'd spent almost a week here and this is what I've gathered so far..Being at the gate meant that I got to be in front.and see a lot that was going on..it also meant that I got to see people from the pack and interact with them a bit.I'd make a couple of “friends” who made my life somewhat easy by making sure that I wasn't bullied and making sure that I was fed and had all the information that I needed.They were also the ones I was asking for information and even if they didn't give me a lot, they gave me what they knew..Officially, there was no head or leader but there was a man who they all reported to.Borge was the second in command to Cleave.I guess Cleave was the man we had seen earlier.As for the numerous invasion of packs, that was because there was a plan.No one knew what it was yet but it was against the Lycans and it was pretty serious because they were gathering a lot of slaves and it didn't seem like they just needed them for house work.I had just a week h

ROSHIDAWe got up even earlier the next day for some damn reason.And even then, Valfeed wasn't by my side. Even after I finished getting ready, I didn't see him so I figured that he had been called out at some point.Which meant he didn't get enough sleep.We were already scrubbing floors and toilet bowls before the sun was up. Hopefully today, we'll get to cover more ground than before.“I'm going to try to avoid that woman today. I don't know what her beef against me is but whatever it is, I'm trying to keep away from it.”It was very obvious that this was Borge's room because of the disgusting smell that was coming from it and also the fact that he was lying in a pile of his own vomit.“Can I not do this? I don't want to clean this. What to switch?”Sonia entered the room to see why I wanted to switch and she laughed..“Hell no. He seems to like you so, he's your special case.”As I stood there looking at him, I didn't know what to do. Waking him up meant waking trouble up. I was
