ROSHIDA

We were walking in silence.

It wasn't like we were rushing or we were going to be late but there was just nothing to say and we all had different things on our minds.

We must have been walking for at least five hours and I doubt any of us has the strength to say any more.

We all knew that it was going to take us a very long time to finally get out of here and we were just focused on that.

In all honesty, my heels were killing me. I wasn't wearing tight shoes or anything like that but just the distance and mixture of sand and stone underneath our feet made it hard.

We still had a long way to go and I was already so exhausted. I wonder when we will get out of here. I was slightly claustrophobic and I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want them to worry about me.

Being in a tunnel wasn't making things easier.

I didn't even realise I was falling behind until Valfred said something.

“Ro, what's going on? What has you so occupied?”

Sonua had stopped too and was looking at

    ROSHIDALet's just say this was a form of exercise that I never thought I'd be doing.On the first night, we didn't even know that it was night time yet until Valfred checked his phone and saw that it was midnight already.That didn't make us stop though. The second night, we managed to sleep a few hours after all our bodies were threatening to give up..“How did that old man manage to do this? I mean, this tunnels has to be over three miles long. Did he do it all by himself?”I mean, he's lived alone for all these years..even if he spent a full year doing it, no one would know that there was something going on in his house..I couldn't thank him enough for his hard work and help..if he hadn't agreed to help us, I don't know how we would have managed to get out of there.“You did lock the door behind us right?”Valfred looked at me.“Did you?”He nodded slowly.“Oh, I remember. I did.”I breathed a sigh of relief because I didn't want to risk anyone coming after us.“What’s that light

    ROSHIDAI didn't know that this would be our last stop before we got home..My feet were begging me for mercy and my back hurt.The fact that we were out here in the open, looking over each other's shoulder at every time wasn't helping issues.“I think we're somewhat closer to home.”Sonia turned to him.“You think?”He gave me a look. I didn't know either. Maybe if we moved a bit forward, I could say something. Right now, this place doesn't look familiar at all.He looked around him for a while, staring in different directions.“We’re close to home. Just a few more hours.”Well, I guess that was the first good news we'd heard since…we left the pack.The first thing if do after reporting to the king is take a very long shower to wash off all the long hours of work, sweat and dust that had gathered in corners. Then get something to eat. Something good.We were barely allowed to take baths there which was why most of the people smelled like death. There was only a little place out in th

    VALFRED I raised my hands just as they had asked and I noticed the gates opened and some guards came out. “What is going on, Valfred?” “Don't worry, it's just a routine check. They can't smell us, remember?” I thought the witch said the smell would wear off as soon as we were out of there. Four guards approached us, pointing thier guns at us. “My Prince! Luna Roshida! I'm so sorry!” I dropped my hands and waved it off.”Its fine. Get them to open the gates.” One of them began running back to the gate while anither shouted. “Open the gates! It's the Prince!” Well it's about time. We began walking towards the gate, giving the bags to the guards. “Get a car or something. I don't think the ladies can walk anymore.” They brought a carriage cart around and for the first time, the lack of sleep really began to hit me and I dozed off for a few seconds before the

    ROSHIDAI basically soaked myself in the shower because it felt so relaxing and it was like it has its own healing powers.Just being in there along made me feel so at peace and I didn't even want to move at all. I almost slept off until I jerked up and realise that people sleep off in the bathtub and die.I'm not about to die in the Kings house by a bathtub. That would cause such a ruckus and it would be so embarrassing. Gosh..After I started to feel my skin begin to wrinkle, I stood uoa and rinsed myself off, brushed my teeth and went to bed..There was food already in the living room and I sighed as the aroma filled the room. Gosh, I missed this.I took my time eating, savoring each and every bite, not wanting it to finish.There was a knock on my door and without thinking, I moved to open it.It was the prince and the way he looked at me, I had to look at myself and that's when I realized I was in a towel.“Excuse me, I just stepped out of the shower. Come in.”He took a step bac

    VALFREDI can't believe my parents made me talk about this. I mean, how they managed to make me talk about Roshida in front of her.I tried so hard not to look at her or do anything that would give her or anybody the notion that I was talking about her.It's better I made it seem like she was far away from here. After dinner,my father told Roshida and I that he would like to see us alone the next day..We needed to formally report to him. He excuses himself from the table along with my mother who couldn't seem to be anywhere my father was absent.It left just Ro, Sonia and I.This was so embarrassing. How could I be so stupid? They were obviously baiting me..“So, my prince..the girl you say you like, what's her name?”I looked at Sonia, surprised at the question.Ro was looking at her food but then she finally looked up at us and then at me, like she was expecting an answer.How the hell could I answer this?.“I don't think that concerns you in anyway. It's a personal thing.”Was eve

    ROSHIDAWhen I got back into the room, I'd completely forgotten that that I had taken a bathe earlier because of the little heat that I felt during dinner.And even though I finally remembered before taking my clothes off, I still went ahead and had another shower because there was no such thing as too many showers.Besides, the water was relaxing and it's not like it could finish.I should tell Sophia that I'm back. Or should I just show up at the house?Yes, she would be very surprised..I'll do that.For now, the first step of the plan was complete. We had finally returned to the palace. The next step now was to report yo the king and let him know everything that was going on.Then, we would make our plans from there. I couldn't wait to go back and kill those bastards. Particularly, I'll start with Borge and that Matron.As for her, I'll.take my time and deal with her for what she did to me. My back would never be the same because of that.I stepped out of the shower and walked over

    ROSHIDABy the time I got to bed, the prince was asleep.Or so I thought. His back was turned to me and his shoulders were rising and falling steadily. Also, he was quiet. Very quiet.As I got into bed, he turned around to look at me and I froze, waiting for him to do something, thinking he would do something but he just fully turned around and moved further into the bed.Then he stretched his hand out, waiting for me to lay in it.I don't know it was today of all days that I was very cautious of what was going on. Or maybe it was because there was light here so i could basically see everything.I laid down on him and I noticed I was tense.Why was I tense? What the hell was wrong with me? Why was I acting like this?“Are you okay?”I didn't hear his question at first. Actually, I did but I thought he was speaking to someone else. I don't know why.“Roshida, are you okay?”I nodded.“Oh yes, of course. I'm fine. Im okay..just had some things on my mind.”There was silence after that a

    ROSHIDAWe have him the report of everything that had happened, leaving nothing out because we had to to tell him everything even if we didn't want to.“So you weren't able to find out who they were answering to?”“No but all we know is that they call him master.”That was a very vague description but for now, it was the best we had.“Luna, do you have anyone in mind that you think it could be?”I was surprised when he asked me that. I mean, what do I know? I was just initiated as a Luna and I hadn't even had my coronation ceremony yet.I knew little to nothing about what happened in this kingdom so I didn't know any Alphas except the ones who made it a point to get known by me.“No, my King but I think we still have a very good chance of knowing who it is.”He nodded and stayed silent for a while. I event though he had fallen asleep with the way he was just staring in one spot and not saying anything.I quickly looked at Valfred to see if we were thinking the same thing but I couldn'

    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.”

    ROSHIDA“Where did you say you saw the King? I think we've walked far enough.”I turned around to look but there was nothing to see. As far as my eyes could see, there were just trees. Gosh, how did I not realise how far I was walking?The girl turned around.“Just a little bit further. It's down here.”I should have let those guards follow me, they would be looking everywhere for me. I just hope that they don't start worrying.I'd been so angry at Valfred that I stormed off to the car to cool off. How could he not have told me all this while we were friends that he'd been the one that I'd helped all those years ago?I wouldn't have been mad at him or anything, he should have just told me. I came down from the act, remembering that I still had to show my face at the party.That was when this young girl.ran up to me and told.me that the King had been seen in the woods and they sent her to call me.“Um, now that I think about it, don't worry. I'll go back now and call his guards. They w

    VALFREDRoshida was.missing.I sent the guards to look for my father and tell him what was going on and bring him back to the car so we could take him back home.I didn't want to take any chances. She couldn't just disappear into thin air.My dad came into the car to meet me.“Valfred, the guards said you were looking for Roshida. Where is she?”I told him everything that happened.“I want to go into the woods to look for her. I mean, I don't know what she went in there to do and she knows better but I'm sure I'll be able to find her if I go looking for her. I just wanted to let you know before I go.”“It’s her coronation day. If the enemies made it into her pack to get her, then that means they have her. I can't let you go out there alone. They might come for you. Take all the guards with you. I'll find my way home.”I know that Roshida has been a target to many since my father gave her the Blue Ridge Fortress and at some point, I even asked my father to take it away from her becaus

    VALFREDShe perked up with a frown.“Really? Military school? What class?”.It wasn't very hard for.me to remember. Those years of my life were the worst.“Sir Red's Class. To make matters worse, my father made sure to hide that I was his son so I could blend right in. That didn't work out very well. I was bullied out of school.”Thinking back now, it didn't hurt anymore but I just wish that I could tell the young me that I wouldn't die if I had just stood up for myself.“What year did you graduate?”I looked back at her.“I never did. I just left. I told you, I was bullied right out.”She had a weird look on her face and I wondered what was wrong.“Valfred, I think we were in the same class. You're the boy I saved that day…the boy that left and I never saw again.”From the first day she said that story, I could already tell that I was the boy but we were on a mission and I didn't want to disrupt that with all that. So I kept mute. I guess it's a good thing it came up now.“Took you l

    ROSHIDAAfter missing more than half the dinner, the King decided that he wanted to go into the pack. We were all sure that it was because of the candy floss and sweet shops.“Honey, how can you say that? I mean, I just want to see the people. Roshida just became Luna, we should go say hi to them, don't you think ?”He looked at me like he dared me to say no.”You’re right, My King. We should go say hi.”I actually didn't want to go to the pack even though it was tradition that I was supposed to bow to the people just after my swearing in.But I was tired and so not in the mood. I just wanted to go to my room and go to sleep.These days, my sleeping routine was getting better because I was going through enough stress to last a life time so my body was as tired as it could be.So I didn't even have to ask for slept before it came. Infact, the hours weren't even enough anymore.“You see, she agrees with me? Do you want to come with me?”The Queen gave him a dirty look.“And miss out on

    ROSHIDAHe followed me down the stairs, holding Liam who seemed more interested in him than me.The way Sophia kept smiling at me like I was a bride coming down the stairs and she was my husband waiting for me.“Oooh, you look so good. Come on, let's go, the King is waiting for you.”The instatement was taking place in the garden. It was a close ceremony because I really didn't want a lot of people. Then, the people had the freedom to continue their party afterwards.The Elders and most of the people in government were present and at that moment, I wished my family were present to see this day.But then if they were, my brother would be the one taking the crown and not me.The King was standing up front and Sophia walked behind me since she was my Beta. She had to be sworn in too.The sun was not too hot and I was so happy because I hated the heat. It would have been a very bad day because I would have to smile and act like everything is fine.And I didn't want to do that.I bowed as

    ROSHIDANow, I was convinced that I was working with very devious people.Whenever Valfred and Sophia were involved in something, I might as well know that I didn't have a team and I was going to be left out of a whole lot.Add the Queen and King into that mix and they were an army.And the sad part was my sweet little Liam was now a part of them. What was I going to do now?By the time I would wake up, it was almost noon and all I had to do was go straight into the bathroom and take a shower because the make-up artist and the entire team were already present for the makeover.The fact that the King was already here and I wasn't present to welcome him was one thing I didn't like.“Why is that an issue, Roshida? He knows how exhausted you are and I didn't tell him that you were sleeping. So don't worry, he knows you're on your way.”I couldn't even answer her because I was looking out the window, looking at the decorations outside.That's when it clicked and I turned to look at Sophia.

    ROSHIDA“Sophia, go get the ambulance. I don't know, call someone!”Valfred ran into the room.“Don’t worry. I'll drive to the hospital with him.”I could hear that his cries were getting quieter and it bothered me. The heat that I was feeling before had moved from between my legs to my whole body.What was I going to do if something happened to Liam? What will I say? Why could I not help him when he was going through all this?As Valfred moved to carry Liam from his cot, Sophia stopped him.“Wait, let me see him.”I almost ate her head off.“What the hell do you think you're doing? Let's take him to the hospital!”“No, wait! I think I can help him.”I rushed over to the cot, to see what she was doing. She stood over him, looking at him with her hand over his chest and then she started mumbling somethings to herself and I looked at Valfred to make sure that I wasn't the only one seeing this.All of a sudden, it started seeming like I was the one who couldn't breathe.I could see light
