* Alpha King Zed *I woke up earlier than she did and had to go for a quick run before the pack duties. The borders are on high alert because of the rogues living in the West. The other night, I sent Beta Osuof on a journey to ask the Alphas of different regions for help with the situation. We must take back the Western territory from the rogues. They have slaughtered all the wolves of the West and only left Alpha Joe to survive."Good Morning your Majesty!"Surprised to see Beta Osuof already waiting for me in the office, I can't deny that I am still preoccupied with the thought of her body in my arms. I shouldn't have done it, yet I don't have a single regret because I married her."Beta Osuof, good morning! You are early, thank you. But please before anything else I need to hear some good news."I took a seat behind my desk and let my back lean on the soft leather. He sighed, I didn't like the way he looked worried that I could already tell I was not going to hear anything good."
* Alpha King Zed *"Brother, you wanted to speak with me?"Zeina asked as soon as she got inside the office. I figured we need to leave as early as tomorrow afternoon for the long journey so she must choose her clothes today and get the things ready for the occasion. "Yes, it's important that you need to pick a good dress for the Alpha of the North's birthday. He sent an invitation so I decided that we have to go."Her brows furrowed. "Since when did you care about birthday invitations? This is not very important, now that our pack is in danger after the invasion of the West. I don't think we have time to attend some birthday."She took a sit in the chair in front of my desk, the smile she wore on her lips the first time she came in vanished."You don't understand, it is exactly because of that reason that we must attend the birthday party of the Alpha of the North."My sister shook her head. "Are you trying to get his help that's why we need to go there and make a good impression?"
* Althea *"Bye Thea, be careful dear. I wish you could come with us but my brother has already decided."Zeina smiled while giving me a tight hug. They were all set to leave the Palace along with the selected warriors and, of course, Alpha King Zed."Oh, I do understand that I have to stay. So you enjoy the journey with your brother and be safe, and you enjoy the party in the North who knows? You might find someone from there."She chuckles and looks behind her, Alpha King Zed is watching us. I am aware that his eyes were on me for a while now but for some reason, he is trying to hold himself back. Maybe because Beta Osuof is standing not far from me and the servants are also nearby."Well, I'm going to head inside the car now maybe my brother has something to tell you."Her smile widened as she stepped back and got inside the white van. She's leaving with her servants and two other warriors plus the driver. Alpha King Zed is taking the Ford truck with him along with three lead warri
* Althea *The sadness filled my heart as he struggled to let his leg down from the bed but I looked away before he could read the emotion that I felt through my eyes. I have never once thought that Alpha Joe would end up like this, his other leg is made of metal since they had to cut it off after the infection spread. The doctors tried their best to save it but it could put his life in danger."It feels strange to have my other leg so foreign to me. Even when the doctor explained why this happened I still couldn't manage to walk like this."With his feet hanging on the edge he sat still wondering if he could stand up. "Maybe give it some time Alpha Joe, it looks normal."From the wide pants that his wearing, at first glance anyone would think that he has both normal legs. He laughed but it did not reach his eyes and I couldn't laugh with him as I looked at his feet."You don't even have to call me Alpha Joe anymore Thea, just call me Joe anyway I don't have a pack now. I am just livi
* Althea *I pace back and forth in my bedroom thinking about Alpha Joe and how we had the conversation. Perhaps it was only because of his frustrations and the pain of what he had lost that made him act that way. I was almost sure that he looked mad and would hurt me; the fear that I felt was not ordinary. It's as if he was a different person, not the kind and gentle Alpha Joe that I knew. But in my heart, I couldn't believe he would change, the tragic incident had broken him from the very inside."Your Majesty? Are you still awake?"The voice coming from Dylan made me walk towards the door. I opened it and watched him and Albert standing."Yes guys, you can both retire for the night. I'll be alright, I will see you in the morning.""Your majesty, before we leave. There is someone who wants to talk to you."I furrowed my brows, as I didn't see anyone, just Dylan's move. From behind him, my brother, who was hiding, came out with a grin on his face."Oh! Brother, you're here!"He moved
* Alpha King Zed *The journey to the North was long and almost endless and while along the way I did not sleep a wink. I had to be alert, remembering the places we'd passed through taking into my brain every detail that I noticed on the road. As the weather got colder, we knew that we were almost there. I took a glance at the van where my sister was riding together with the other warriors and her servant."Your Majesty, in a few meters we will be arriving at the territory of the North."The lead warrior behind the wheels informed me. I glanced at the scene outside and noticed the snowflakes on the ground. It feels cool to somehow visit a place where it is cold old year."It's alright, he knows that we are coming. And if the warrior guards ask, you can show him the invitation card in the dashboard."He nodded, the warriors in the backseat had also been alerted. Then we came at the front of a wide tall iron gates. Behind them stood two large wolves with long hair coats and growled givi
* Alpha King Zed *"Zeina, let's talk."I closed the door behind us in the room intended for her. While the chamber that Alpha Francis gave me was just on the other side, I felt the need to speak with my sister in person."I have to discuss an important part of the deal that I made with Alpha Francis with you. We had a talked while you were busy with his mother."She sat on the queen-sized bed and smiled at me. "Oh did he agree? How many warriors is he willing to send with us? I think the more the better, his mother is such a darling I enjoyed talking to her."I took a glance at her and paced towards the window, there was no visible moon in the sky tonight. It’s quite different from the sky in the Palace."You have a role to play on this deal Zeina and honestly I wouldn't mind if you say no. You have the right to do whatever you want with your life and I am putting your happiness and safety as a priority. I want you to know that."I met her gaze and she frowned."Why? What did Alpha F
* Althea *"Alpha Joe, please let me go!"I tried breaking free from his grip without pushing him on the stairs but he even held on to me tightly. His eyes were blazing as his grip grew even tighter hurting my shoulder."Tell me you liked me Thea, and that moment we shared in the West is something that you have been looking forward to doing with me again. You were not meant for the Alpha King, I knew it the first time I saw you. And now fate has brought me here for a reason, that is to continue what we started in the West."I shook my head, disapproving of his words. "No! That's not true. From the start, I only thought of you as a good friend. I never intended to be your mate or your lover, Alpha Joe.""What!?"He growls so loudly that I thought my eardrums would break. As I struggled to get away, my instinct succeeded when I used my strength to push him hard and broke free from his hold. Alpha Joe lost his balance and he stumbled on the stairs, rolling down the remaining steps until
* Robert Greene *"Let's drive back to the station George."He nodded. George had been my partner ever since I started this job in the North. With the recommendation coming from my father, I stopped my previous job and worked at a boring police station. I can't say I enjoyed this job but it is better than making my parents who are not getting any younger on the verge of weariness about my safety all the time."God, I can't believe you are leaving this station in a few days Robert. You're the only one who can stand up to those filthy rich bastards living in the mountain."I shook my head and smiled while I watched the road. "What do you mean I'm the only one? Of course you guys need to enforce the law no matter what or who the persons are. Filthy rich huh? I guess you could say that about them."This was not the first time I went on to the Xaviers's villa for questioning. There was an incident not long time ago that a dead body was found near their lands, but with not enough evidence a
* Princess Zeina *As I drove the car, I couldn't help but glance at the side mirror. The police vehicle was following us. If I went slow, they went slower, and they remained behind until we reached the territory of the Northern pack. "Your Majesty, are we in trouble with the policemen?"Anna asked worriedly as she glanced in the side mirror and saw them, too. "No, I don't think so. However, Mrs. Xavier is resting, and I don't want to disturb her.""Oh, what are we going to do then?"I closed my eyes and stopped in front of the gates. Then quickly called for Alpha Francis on the mind link."I hope I am not disturbing you but I need your help."He was surprised to hear my voice in the mind link. "No, I am in fact near the Alpha house. What's this about?""Oh! That's great then come to the Alpha house now. There are people that need to speak with you and I will explain when you get here."The guards opened the gates and I drove inside followed by the police car. "Your Majesty? Are they
* Princess Zeina *Another day in the North and my feet are itching to walk outside or perhaps drive a car around the mountains. It isn't similar to other days, now the clouds are behaving and although it is still cold the snow has stopped falling. Not to mention that the sun is shining brightly."Come on Anna, let's go out today."Old Mrs. Xavier had gone back to her bedroom after breakfast and was not feeling well so this was my chance. She said I could drive around using her car, and told me to take the keys from the key box near the entrance. Taking the pink car key in my hand I wasted no time and urged Anna to go out with me."But where are we going, your Majesty? Alpha Francis is not here and Mrs. Xavier is sick.""Don't worry Anna we won't go far, I just want to go out for a drive since it's been three days that we have been here and I am only staying inside the Alpha house. I think that even Mrs. Xavier is bored with looking at my face."We walk out of the house and into the g
* Princess Zeina *I was looking out the window, as the light fall of white pieces of tiny cotton ball balls from the dark sky fascinated me. It's almost seven in the evening and I know that they would be calling me out to eat, I'm not hungry but I had to go down and meet with them. Mrs. Xavier will be expecting me, she's such a kind old woman who reminds me of my mother. Alpha Francis is lucky to have at least one parent by his side even though he doesn't have any siblings."Your majesty? You need to go down now, Alpha Francis and his mother are waiting for you at the dining table."I turned around to see Anna opening the door of my room. "Oh yeah, let's go down together."She walks with me to the stairs and down to the dining hall. "Good evening everyone! I have to apologize for coming down late."Alpha Francis stands up and pulls out the chair opposite to him while Mrs. Xavier is on my right. "That's alright Princess Zeina, it hasn't been long since I arrived. My mother and I typic
* Princess Zeina *"Goodbye Zeina, take care of yourself while I am away. I promise to send Beta Osuof to take you back to the palace as soon as the war ends and the warriors of Alpha Francis are back here."I smiled at my brother, noticing the look of worry in his eyes. If we had a better choice, he would not have let me stay. However, we made a deal with the Alpha of the West, and he is bringing more warriors because I am staying."Yes, don't worry too much brother. Focus on winning the war and with the number of warriors that you have now I am confident that you will soon eliminate all the rogues in the West."He nodded and then walked towards Alpha Francis who was talking to the warriors that would go with my brother. The Alpha house in the West is a decent place and I wouldn't mind staying here for a short vacation, except that it's too cold."Your Majesty, maybe it's better for us to head inside now. The wind is too cold."I turned around to see my personal servant Anna shiverin
* Alpha King Zed *We were back at the palace before sundown but I had to make a quick meeting for the warriors of the North and the East. Some selected warriors of the Palace were also left in the West to guard and make sure that no more rogues were hiding in the hidden places. The prisoners are secured in the dungeons and somehow I felt at ease."Everyone for the Alpha of the North and the East please send them my token of gratitude. The war will not be over if not for your support. I just want to thank each one of you, you can choose to leave now or stay and get some rest but I know that most of you would leave to be back with your families.""It's an honor, your Majesty, we will go and bring the good news to Alpha Francis of the North."The lead warrior of the North together with his wolves bow to me and get ready to leave. "The same with us your Majesty, Alpha lander of the East will be happy to know that there are no more rogues in the West. Thank you for letting us go home ear
* Alpha King Zed *We run through the thick forest, conquering the distance between my territory and the West. But I signal to stop when I notice that we are about to cross the border. No more rogues were guarding the gates and I could hear the fighting of the warriors from Beta Osuof and the rogues, I wanted us to go further but I was sticking to the plan. Since I haven't heard anything from him yet, we need to stay where we are."Your majesty? Aren't we going to proceed?"The warrior from the North asked me, he was standing close and he could hear what I was listening to."Not yet, it's important to hear from Beta Osuof to prevent each one of you from getting hurt. If we can prevent it from happening then there is no need to rush."He nodded but after a few seconds of waiting Beta Osuof is calling me on the min link."Your majesty!? I can't hold them for much longer, you need to come now because there are too many of them."In between breaths, I heard him fighting and so I signaled
* Alpha King Zed *After three days of intense preparation and training for all the warriors, we are finally ready to attack the rogues of the West. I kept the death of Alpha Joe within the palace wall, I didn't want the news about it would affect the Alpha of the North nor alert the rogues in the West. The death of my cousin would only bring negative effects for the war that is set to happen and I wouldn't want that. "Your Majesty, the soldiers are ready."The plan was a two-group attack the first group was led by Beta Osuof. As agreed they were the first ones to challenge the rogues and when the enemies came out we would surprise them with the second group attacked which is led by me and the warriors of the North and the East."Remember the plan Beta Osuof and just like we have all agreed, may the Moon Goddess favor us tonight. We won't let the rogues remain in the West they can either die or run for their lives."Beta Osuof howled and with the warrior numbers the outside of the Pa
* Althea *After I fixed myself because of the incident, I was surprised to find out that the servants had started transferring all my belongings to the master's chamber. "Are you sure about this Donna?"She smiled and nodded. "Your Majesty, the Alpha King has declared that you will no longer stay here. This room will be emptied of all the portraits that he has from childhood as well. The other servants have put most of your things in His Majesty's chambers so you can also go and get some rest there. I will follow you with the rest of your things.""Oh, but is his Majesty in his chambers right now?"Donna shook her head. "I believe his still with Beta Osuof as I overheard that they will discuss something in private.""Alright, then I'm going on ahead."The smile on my face widened as I walked the hallway to the master's chambers. With a rapid heartbeat I couldn't help but get excited that I had to remind myself that the Alpha King might be busy. This is the third time I am moving bac
