Kendrick's POV I huffed as I strode out of my private office and turned to Jake who was waiting at the door. "It's done," I informed him and he sighed heavily. Audrey and her guard had come back to the palace on two horses provided by the border patrol guards and she and I had come into my private office to discuss the details of the handover. From what we decided, there wasn't going to be much difference between me being in charge and her being in charge except that I had to inform her of everything I did and she would always get credit as the ruler of the pack. Now that I had done this and discussed how things would go, it actually didn't seem so bad. "Summon all the pack members so that I can announce the handover to them," I instructed him and he bowed solemnly. Giving up power was not something Alphas did lightly and there would be resistance but what had already been done couldn't be fought against. "I'll summon the pack and try to make sure they are here as soon as possi
Kendrick's POV Once I introduced Audrey to the people, the guards called for everyone to bow and I could see them begin to bow even though they seemed reluctant. Once they had all bowed, we waited for Audrey to give a speech and at least acknowledge the people since they had acknowledged her. I mean since she was a princess, we thought that she would have already known that was the next thing to do but she wasn’t saying anything. She was just watching the people with a strange look in her eyes. All I perceived from her was a feeling of satisfaction and another feeling that I just couldn’t explain what it was. I was still scared that Audrey was taking out a revenge meant for just me on the entire pack and the thought made me feel guilty. What was I going to do to appease her? Was this the end of her revenge? Or did she have more planned? I didn't even know. It soon began to feel like she wasn’t going to say anything so I whispered to Jake to inform her that we needed her to addres
Audrey's POV As I sat on the throne with my legs crossed, I couldn’t help but think that maybe what I was doing was wrong, maybe these people didn’t deserve what I planned to do to them. I was almost beginning to feel sorry for them when I remembered what my life was like back here when I was just a weak female who couldn’t get her wolf. I didn’t feel any good about myself when I was here. ‘No, I shouldn’t feel sorry at all,’ I thought and looked at Kendrick where he was standing. ‘These people didn’t do anything when Kendrick humiliated me. They still ended up making him the Alpha of their pack. Well, I wonder if Kendrick even told them the truth at all.’ I watched the werecouncil members exit the throne room after I let out my growing impatience to get the priest so that I could officially be crowned queen. Jake and Kendrick didn’t leave with them. Well, I had asked Kendrick to stay and get a message from me but as for Jake, I didn’t know why the hell he stayed back. But they
Audrey's POV They seemed very shocked when I announced my plan to them but that wasn’t in any way going to change my mind on what I already planned to do. Kendrick and Jake looked even more shocked than the rest of the men present especially when I said that Kendrick would be my personal servant. Jake even almost gasped which was so, so, funny. When I had said that I wouldn’t totally discard him, what was he thinking? That I would let him work as my right hand man? A very delusional thought, not when I planned to make him pay for his crimes. “Is there a problem?” I asked, looking at all of them and expecting someone to speak. They were supposed to argue and be dramatic, to say that I wasn’t doing the right thing or that I was doing too much. That would have made it even more fun but instead of that, they were even afraid to speak. “There is definitely no problem, My Queen. We are all in agreement with every single part of your plans and will do anything we can to please you,” Ke
Kendrick's POV I was already deeply regretting having told Jenni about the relationship between Audrey and I before she left the pack and how it affected the curse on the pack. Now she was being dramatic and claiming that I was regretting having married her. She had always been a wonderful Luna but this whole situation seemed to be making her act weirdly. I really didn't know what to do with her and her nagging behavior these days. I stopped at a guard post as I walked out of the throne room alone after finally getting Jenni and Jake to let me be. "Guards, I know that I am no more your ruler but still, I'm going to need your help," I told them. "You're still our Alpha even though you are not the ruler of this pack anymore," one of the three guards I met standing there told me. "Don't let the Queen hear you saying that," I joked even though relieved that they thought that way. "We really don't care if she catches us confessing our loyalty to you, we are ready to be killed for t
Kendrick's POV "What are you doing here?" he barked at me. "I'm simply here to see the Queen, isn't it obvious?" I fired back and he suddenly bursted into laughter. Why was he laughing now? Did he think that all this was funny? I had been reduced to a mere member of the pack that I had once been the ruler of the previous day and was even now begging for the attention of the present ruler. "Do you know how pathetic you seem right now?" "What?" I blurted out, fiercely enraged by his words. "You're no more an Alpha now, I can say whatever I want," he boasted and I shook my head wryly. "What exactly is the reason for this?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm so that I could get him to explain the motive behind his scorning actions. "You keep begging the princess everytime, don't you see that she already has a lot of things planned for you and will execute them regardless of what you say or do?" So that was his reason? Lycans were really a disrespectful bunch of people and that
Kendrick's POV “Very well, My Queen, as you wish,” I breathed out and collected the fan since I had no choice of refusing. I slowly began to fan Audrey and there was silence for some minutes. "Stop!" She shouted after a while and I lowered my arms that were already aching slightly. "Go and get that stool so that I can place my feet on it." That also seemed so stressful after the happenings of today, but it was definitely better than having to fan her so I swiftly moved to fulfill her bidding. Once I got the stool, I placed it close to her and she put her legs on the top of the stool then made me shift it in different directions multiple times before finally finding the position fitting enough for her. "Massage my feet," she requested once I stood up and my eyes widened. "You don't want to do it?" "I..." I stammered, unsure of what to say. I didn't want to do such a demeaning task and even if I wanted to, I didn't even know how. Why was she being so heartless? She definitely
Kendrick's POV Should I go back to get a maid? Ten minutes was all I had, but getting a maid to come with me ought not to take too much time. I decided to get a maid to do the errands and quickly ran back to the palace. "Alpha!" I heard a female voice shout just as I opened the door of the side entrance which I was about to pass through and I immediately halted. All that was left was one more step from either of us and I would have bumped into the maid who was coming out of the palace holding a bucket of wet clothes. "I need your help with something," I blurted out instead of the apology I was supposed to give even though I knew it was impolite. "Me? How can I help you, Alpha?" Another person who still thought me worthy enough to be called Alpha even though I had lost control of my pack. "I need oil, oil that can be used for a foot massage and fruits," I quickly replied. "What type of fruits, Alpha?" She inquired. "Anyone! I just need it as soon as possible," I respon
