Chapter 38 - Tough choices ...

last update Last Updated: 2024-05-07 17:40:23

Spenser

I had some really tough decisions to make, but with what was happening between me and our darling rogue queen at the moment, everything was hanging in limbo. I couldn’t just leave the pack that my family had been in charge of for centuries. Not without a really good reason. I also couldn’t force them to get along without me without knowing when I would return or if I would even return.

Until I had more clarity, things had to stay the way they were, and I had to make sure that my pack was taken care of. I wasn’t going to rush back to the capitol. Alison had made it clear she wasn’t ready for anything just yet. That hurt me deeply. I knew I hurt her far worse when I rejected her, and I didn’t hold it against her. I just needed some time to properly compose myself again before returning to the castle.

What happened before can’t happen again. I couldn’t allow it. At least, not until we were mated. She was not just another flight. She was my destined mate. Even after I rejected her

    Alison“NO!” Spenser exclaimed, growling softly. He sighed deeply, pulling his fingers through his hair as he took a couple of steps away from me before turning to look at me. “I don’t care about your title or mine. I didn’t care about it right from the start.” He took a step closer and then stopped. “I rejected you because I felt that it wasn’t safe for females on the front lines. I was an idiot, I know, but I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping females away. Sadly, I couldn’t keep them …” He sighed. “I couldn’t keep you away from the battle. I never realized how strong you were. I thought I was protecting you.”I stood there staring at him for a moment, not sure if I should be offended or impressed. He had just given up his entire birth right, so he could be with me. He gave up love all those years ago, so he could protect me. My mind suddenly rushed through the memories of how I had been treated while I was still an omega, right up to when Ralph found me and took me to m

    SpenserIt still felt so unreal. I came back after giving up my title and my pack thinking I would join the army and just live a solitary life if she didn’t want me. I made peace with that fact. I believed it to be fact. I believed that the damage done was too great and that Alison would never be able to forgive me. I believed she would never be able to trust me, never mind love me.I sat listening to her father as he paced back and forth, and she told him about her conversation with Ralph and I would never admit it out loud, but I was a little jealous. Ralph was the one who finally made her realize that she was in love with me. It wasn’t because of the mate bond, or something I did. Ralph, who I knew was also in love with Alison, convinced her to give me a chance.RalphI leaned against the wall as my heart shattered. I had been eavesdropping and hearing how happy her father was that she finally saw how much Spenser loved her. It just shattered me. I loved her. She already broke my h

  • Revenge of the Rogue Queen   Chapter 41 - Ralph returns.

    AlisonNot having my best friend around was really tough, but my dad and especially Spenser made it a little easier. Who was I kidding?! Spenser made it a lot easier! Now that I had finally given him a real chance, and opened my heart completely, life was so much better. We spent the mornings combing through the books to find out exactly what procedure we had to follow to get officially mated.We spent the afternoons on one of my projects to do better things for everyone in the kingdom, and then in the evenings after dinner, Spenser and I made love until the early morning hours. It was the perfect work-life balance in my opinion.About a month later, I was standing in my room being fitted for the enormous dress I had to wear on that day when I heard whispers coming down the passage. I didn’t turn around since there had been whispers going up and down the passages since the day everyone found out Spenser and I were to be mated!“Tell me you aren’t wearing that!” Ralph’s amused voice ec

    AlisonMy father walked me down the passage to the chapel and I felt butterflies flapping their wings inside my stomach! We followed all the laws that had to be followed to make this official and legal, but tweaked some of it where it wouldn’t affect any of the legalities. Our mating ceremony was a new beginning for our kingdom and Spenser and I wanted it to be unique, but legal.The double doors opened and as I walked in, guided by my father, my emotions overwhelmed me. I didn’t know if I should be laughing or crying for joy. It was a moment I didn’t allow myself to think I would ever have. I hoped, but I always told myself not to. When Spenser threw me away, I thought it was over.I believed I would never have love. I believed I would never have the chance to be happy. I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would be the queen about to get mated and face the possibility of the perfect future. My eyes met Spenser’s and I saw the love he felt. A love he had proven to me over and over,

    AlisonThere had never been a female ruling over the people in our kingdom, which meant if Spenser and I were married, he was actually supposed to have become the king and taken over from me. Thankfully, Spenser didn’t insist. While Spenser and I took a short holiday in the pixie kingdom, my father did some research and by the time we returned, we were ready to present Spenser with a brand-new title.I didn’t want to give him the title of prince because that just made him sound like he was my son, which was just wrong! He didn’t expect a thing as we walked out into the square and all of our people were gathered for the weekly get-together. He was so busy greeting people when we arrived, that he also didn’t even notice the table set up with the sword polished to perfection.“Good evening, everyone!” I shouted over the loud roar of chatter going on and silence fell in the square. I just loved seeing the slight look of confusion in his eyes when he finally noticed the table beside me. “A

    AlisonAll through the passages, people were preparing for the fight. I made sure our weakest people were moved into the castle that had been turned into a fortress, while Spenser made sure that the army was prepared. A short while later, we moved out with me in the front to meet our enemy. This was the part of our lives that I had come to despise.Why couldn’t our kind just live in peace? Why were we constantly fighting over territory or power?! It had to be a male thing, surely! I couldn’t imagine females fighting like that just to gain more. We made our way to the northern border and in the distance, I could hear the howls coming through the forest. Something told me this wasn’t going to be a huge war that lasted for many years.If it was me, I would bring my entire army and fight once, whether I won or lost. I wouldn’t drag my people through a twenty-year war, but then again, I guess nobody planned for a war to last that long. They broke through the brush, and we got our first sig

  • Revenge of the Rogue Queen   Chapter 45 - Otsana is back.

    SpenserI understood why Alison was so furious. Otsana had found the one damn loophole to get back into the city by joining the wolves in the north. Now that I was no longer the alpha of the pack, whatever rules I made could be changed by the new alpha, and it was the opportunity that Otsana’s father needed to get her back in.Although she was still banned by Alison, she could enter the city with the northern army, and she did. Alison couldn’t kill her. The same way, she couldn’t kill her when Alison took over this kingdom. The worst part of it all was that I caused this. If I hadn't kept having my affair with Otsana after I rejected Alison, none of this would probably have happened!What was meant to be a celebration, quickly turned sour and Alison sent everyone home, spoiling the fun for everyone. Ralph and I made sure the wolves in the north had a place to stay for the night and that they wouldn’t be any trouble and I finally made it back to the castle a couple of hours later. I fo

    OtsanaThings weren’t going according to plan! First, they killed the king that said he would marry me as soon as we won the war. Then they invited us to this ridiculous celebration where they could celebrate winning right in our faces, and lastly, that damn wench had to rub it in my face that she was now Spenser’s mate!I really hated her! I hated her more than I could put into words. I wanted to scratch her eyes out, cut out her tongue and feed the rest of her to some creature!! I could see why the old king wanted her killed, and cursed the person who didn’t follow through! If Alison was never here, Spenser would have been mine, and we would have had a happy life together!There had to be some way I could still salvage things. There had to be some way for me to win back Spenser and to get rid of that … thing he called a mate!AlisonI never trusted that woman, so when Ralph and his pretty little mate came to inform me that Otsana was trying to spread poison about me, I wasn’t surpri

    EmilyI pushed to break through a mind link and I finally felt it releasing. He was one of us.“My apologies, your majesty. I have been gone for so long, it is difficult to open my pack link.” He finally answered through the link and I studied him carefully before ordering the guards to stand down.“Who are you and why have you been gone for so long?” I frowned. I couldn’t remember any of our spies being out in the world. Everyone had returned home for the celebration.“I’m Ares, your majesty. I was sent out by your father three years ago to try and find you a mate.” His cheeks turned red and I rolled my eyes. “I guess I know now why I couldn’t find one.”AroraThe news about Emily’s mate spread like wildfire through the kingdom, and before she even walked through the doors with Ares, we knew she had met him. Ares was one of Bernard’s young recruits that should have formed part of the queen’s guard, but Bernard sent him out to try and find a mate for our daughter.We hadn’t heard from

She had grown into one of the kindest people I had ever known, while at the same time standing her ground when it was needed.She was strong and brave even though she had not faced a war. She was ready to rule, and the people were ready for her to take over. Emily was much loved by our people as she had grown up in the streets of the city and knew most of them by name.She took all the lessons I taught her over the years to heart and made sure that the people were taken care of long before she became queen. I could hear the rumours again of how much she reminded the people of the old rogue queen, and it made me feel proud that the pack loved her that much.Sadly, new rumours were starting to flare up all over the city, and they unsettled us a little. Emily was old enough now to mate, but unlike most of the royals, she didn’t fi

    AroraForgiving the royal family a second time was probably one of the toughest things I ever had to do, but I knew that if I didn’t, there would be no end to the cruelty that would definitely follow. I had preached forgiveness before everything happened, and this gave me the opportunity to again remind people how to forgive.I made sure they saw me happily interacting with the royal family at each event and I made sure the royals that remained spent time with the people. The kingdom grew prosperous again under Bernard’s rule, and with my help, the people became happy again. We announced my pregnancy soon after I passed the second month mark, and very soon after that, I began to show.The royal baby grew fast in my belly as time slowly ticked by. I spent my days in the old queen’s vegetable gardens and tending to the flower gardens as much as my body would allow. I joined the omegas to do the shopping for the castle and made sure I knew what every one of our supplier’s problems were,

    AroraMy omegas helped me to get dressed early the next morning. Having a warm and comfortable bed to sleep in and proper food to fill my belly, helped me to at least get some sleep. I was sure that the news about my release had already spread through the kingdom and was surprised when I walked into the dining room and saw the faces of the royals.Most of them were covered in shame as they should be, but I held my head high and took my seat beside Bernard. After the omega left the night before, Bernard told me everything that happened. He told me how he tried to find evidence against Irina and that he only believed her for a short while. It hurt to think that he had so little trust in me, but I pushed it to the back of my mind.None of them were to blame for any of this. Irina was the one who was to blame. She was the one who was going to face trial now and, thanks to Bernard’s genius plan, they had more than enough evidence to sentence Irina without spending much time on a trial.“Ar

    AroraBernard took his time. He even postponed the trial for two days so they could find a witch to explain what each item in their mound of evidence was used for. My only glimmer of light was seeing Irina losing her patience the longer Bernard postponed the inevitable. It was clear as day from the looks I was getting in court. All the nobles believed that I was guilty.Bernard was digging deeper into the hole with each move. I didn’t have any hope that they were going to save me. Even with the visits from Bernard and his mother. I don’t trust them anymore. My fate was sealed. Now he just had to make the final decision. He had to judge me. He had to decide how and when I would be killed.IrinaThe glass flew through the air and shattered against the wall as I screamed out in frustration. My cousin was just postponing the inevitable in the hopes that I would slip up. I noticed he now had four guards following my every move. I couldn’t even use the secret passages without having them po

    AroraPrincess Helena snuck into the dungeons to see me, and she brought me some food, but I was still so cold that I was having trouble moving. I also wasn’t sure if I could trust the food they were giving me. If they saw me as a traitor, they could very well try to poison me. My trust in all of them had been shattered, and I wasn’t sure if it would ever be possible to repair it.I had been waiting for this shoe to drop since the very moment I found out Bernard was my mate. Almost as though I knew they would just turn around and betray me, but I started to trust them and believe that they would trust me. I couldn’t help the way I was feeling. They all turned on me so fast after seeing all those things in Irina’s little secret room.Nobody believed me. It was as though none of them really knew me at all. Why would I ever trust any of them again? Bernard’s face came to mind and I felt my heartache. He should have believed me right from the start. He should have trusted me. He should ha

    AroraIt wasn’t as cold on the cot as it was on the floor, but the night was long, and it still felt like the cold had found its way into my bones. I had no idea what was going on upstairs and, if I was honest, I didn’t care. They were so eager to believe Irina that they didn’t see how cruel she was.They all deserved whatever she had planned for them. I knew she made sure the proof pointed to me, but I couldn’t help myself. They should all have known by now that I wouldn’t have done that. Yet, even Bernard believed I was the traitor. I wasn’t sure if we would ever be able to find our way back to each other after all of this.The memory of Bernard visiting me and whispering came to mind and I pushed it to the back of my mind. I didn’t dare hope that things would work out in the end. Irina had been far too clever so far. She was going to make sure Bernard wouldn’t be able to prove my innocence. She was going to make sure the entire family believed her lies.The cold pushed through my t

    BernardNone of this made any sense. Unless I didn’t know Arora as well as I thought I did, but I couldn’t imagine her doing the kinds of things Irina had accused her of. We found notes in the room that referred to even worse actions and I didn’t want to even think about it.I was torn between what I thought I knew and what possibilities there were. Was Arora a cruel and evil person who took revenge on our family or was she the kind heart that helped us to save our family from total ruin? Not that I thought the pack would ever revolt against us.I sat back in my office chair, not wanting to go to our room and not wanting to face my family. There were still far too many unanswered questions and I wanted to be able to answer at least some of them when I faced them again. The most prominent would probably be if I was going to put Arora on trial.“What are you doing here alone, cousin?” Irina wondered in my office and I sighed deeply. She was the last person I wanted to deal with right no

    Arora“She planned this.” My voice was soft, but one of two of them heard me. “Irina planned this!” I shouted. “My omega followed her today and found the room. Irina wants all of you to think that I’m the traitor so she can get rid of me. Bernard, you have to believe me.”“His Majesty, don’t have to believe one word that comes out of your traitorous mouth!” Irina shouted from the back. “Your father was a traitor, and so are you!” She hissed and I could feel the atmosphere turning.“We need to hear from the omega, Bernard.” Princess Helena spoke up, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The omega was dragged up the stairs and I could see in her eyes that this wasn’t going to go my way. She kept looking at Irina and I wondered what happened in the short time we were apart. What could Irina have done? She was right there with me the entire time.“Please tell us what happened this morning.” Princess Helena took the lead.“I … Please, don’t make me do this.” The omegas eyes filled with tears as
