ROSHIDAFelix stayed staring at me for a few seconds. His breathing had calmed down now that he had heard what he wanted. “Did you hear me? I don't care about you and her. You can marry her and the entire world if you want to. Don't come into my room and spew rubbish again. I won't like it.”He really thought I'd leave my house and go all the way to the Capital, stand under the sun for over an hour just to see the King and tell him that I wanted to stop his wedding to Kelly? A wedding that they wanted me to fund?.He pushed himself off the wall and pointed his finger at me. “Don’t do anything stupid like this again. Just lay low until the wedding is over.”“Take that finger out of my face before I break it and shove it up your ass.”He dropped his hand and gave me a look before walking out of the room. He was just showing me that he wasn't just a gold digger and an irresponsible person, he was also a disrespectful bastard. I tried not to let him bother me. I won't let him make
ROSHIDAShe looked furious. Her nostrils were flaring and she was giving Felix the dirtiest look ever. I expected her to slap him for saying a thing like that. That statement wasn't just disrespectful to me, but to her as well. It meant that he didn't care if she was there and about to marry her but he was ready to put a baby inside me so that I won't leave. The thought of being a co wife pisses me off so much. If he has even been a good husband, I might consider it. If he knew how to take responsibility and how to be an actual Alpha and not a phony, then maybe I would have stayed. But he was far from everything. “What does it matter? You don't seem to want to let him go so he's offering you a solution.” Her response angered me. What had he done to her? “Have you lost it? How can you say a thing like that? So you do not realize how insulting it is? Especially to my person. Am I so useless that you think I can agree to carry a baby just for the fun of it and just to be married t
ROSHIDAI didn't hear when she said it.“You should be grateful that you are still in this house. The Luna would have kicked you out back where you came from. You're nothing to me. You're despicable and you're disgusting.” He didn't even give Kelly the chance to say something for herself or retaliate.He slapped Sophia, hard across the face that Sophia fell to the floor. I was stunned for a moment. I couldn't process what had just happened.“How dare you speak to her that way? Don't you know she's my wife to be? She's the next Luna of this pack and you are nothing but a dirty slave. Apologise to her now.”I saw the tears in Sophia's eyes and that was all it took. Along with the anger I had pent up, I slapped him back. Just as hard.This time around, he wasn't the only one dazed. Both he and Kelly took steps back in awe as I helped Sophia off the floor. It was bad enough that he was treating me like this but I won't let him lay a finger on Sophia. “Next time, don't raise your hand t
ROSHIDAKelly spoke up before he had the chance to come out of his daydream. “What did you just say? You want him to beg you? He would rather die. Why does he have to beg you for money? Both of you are married, that money belongs to him too.”I had caught her. “So do you finally admit that we are married?”She turned pale, not being able to say anything else. “Well, what I was saying was-”“Shut up, Kelly.” Grace joined in.“Yes, shut up Kelly. Roshida, you have to understand that he has his pride to protect as an Alpha. I mean, I'm begging you already. Isn't that enough? Both of you are married, no one can deny that. So just help your husband out.”This woman was so two-faced. She was the same one training cursed down on me every other day but today when she wanted to beg for my money, her voice was calm. Fiona didn't say anything and she just stayed back and watched all that happened. Felix finally spoke up. “You want me to beg you? For money? I can't do that. I'm an Alpha.
ROSHIDASince they couldn't do anything to me, they decided to go for the one thing that they could touch. My reputation. I was in the room when Sophia ran in. “You won't believe what is going around the village about you.”Actually, I didn't care but she seemed very determined to tell me so I dropped my book and listened to her. “I heard from one of the maids in the kitchen that Fiona asked them to tell people around the village that you're wolfless. And that it was because of your character that you have this curse. She said you're cursed and that's why Felix is marrying another woman.”Well, they had really sat down to think about that story. I mean, they did have to find something convincing to tell the people if he wanted to divorce their Luna and marry someone else. “That seems like a very nice story. And I take it that the people are responding positively.”“Yes, they're believing it. We have to do something.”Sophia liked to panic. “We don't have to do anything except si
FELIXI was on the verge of losing it. I wanted to run away and never come back. As soon as I woke up, I was met with Kelly's attitude. She refused to speak to me as she was still mad that I didn't do anything when Roshida slapped me.She was the Luna. I couldnt touch her but she didn't listen. As if that was not enough, I had my mother's attitude to deal with. She whined and complained all day that Roshida has refused to come to her to take care of her.She'd call me and complain until I couldn't take it anymore. “Just stop it, mother. Please, just stop it! Do you think it's easy for me too? I have so much on my plate and you're not making it any better.”“Felix, you’re raising your voice at me?”“I'm not. What do you need her for, though? You're not sick, you can walk on your own so why do you want her to come to your room and serve you?”Her eyes danced as I waited for an answer. “I'm getting old, I need people to help me.”That was a lie and she knew it. “If you need attenti
ROSHIDA Felix was a coward. He was like a dog that barked and barked and even when the target was in front of him, he couldn't bite. I looked him square in the eye. “I don't know what you want from me but I know I can't give you anything. So it's up to you now.” He looked at me so dumbfounded. What? Did he expect that I would sit back and wait until he married her? “Do you even understand what you're saying? Reject you? You're a Luna. You will tarnish your image. Trash that talk. All you have to do is accept the fact that I'm marrying Kelly. Stop trying to sabotage it.” I waa trying to remain calm because I wanted to have this conversation in a very calm way. “Felix, I don't know which of my actions have seemed like a sabotage but I never meant for it to seem that way. As I have said before, I do not care that you want to marry her. Infact, you have my blessings. Go ahead and do it. Just stop bringing me into it. I'm sick of it.” He held my hand. “Roshida, if we are having
ROSHIDAThe new life that I was living made me feel like an actual Luna. I woke up every day and stayed in my room for most of the day since I had nothing to do. Normally, I would have woken up before the sun rose and entered the kitchen to cook Grace’s food because she refused to eat any other thing made by maids. Then I'll go wake her up for her bath. I'd have to bathe her myself because she had tricked me into thinking that her legs weren’t working. But not anymore. If I was going to be a Luna, then I might as well enjoy my days while doing it. There was no reason for me to involve myself in the daily activities of the maids and servants. Sophia brought my food to me earlier and ran my bath. “What do you have planned for the day?”I turned to her with a frown.“Planned for the day? I plan to do nothing. Just stay in here and sleep, read and stare into the abyss. Doesn’t that sound nice?”“You’re really serious about not doing anything in the house. They’re furious, I'll tell y
ROSHIDA For some reason, I was having a change of heart. Maybe it was because I had spent less than ten seconds looking at Valfred and more than two minutes talking to him. After hearing the plan yesterday, I figured that it was going to be a lot of work but it'll even be more work for me if I didn't have the slightest interest in it. And I didn't want anything that would stress me in any way. I might as well try to act like I want to do this, maybe I'll hate it less. But just because I was about to go on a suicide mission soon, didn't mean my work load had lessened. I still had a whole lot to do in my pack and in the Fortress. There was paper work to be filled, guards to be trained and a throne to sit on. I still needed to listen to the issues that were brought before me. That alone could take up the entire day. Later that evening, I decided to leave the pack and go to the Fortress. If we were going to need
ROSHIDA When I went back to the h Capital, the prince wasn't around so I had to sit and wait for him. I was advised to leave and come back but making the hour there was not exactly my favorite thing to do so I just stayed. My house isn't exactly close to this place and I only make the journey because I have to. This time around, I didn't stay in the waiting room since it wasn't the prince I was here to see. The prince had his own waiting room and I was the only one there. Well, I was the only one there at first before another man walked in. He didn't say a word to me and just went straight to his seat. The maids came in and served him wine while he just sat back and drank like he owned the place. “Is there anything else that you need, sir?” “Not at all, you may leave.” He didn't look like an alpha. I know 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 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
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
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.
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?”
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
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
