* Zed *

"What is it this time Father?"

His chambers were open when I arrived and I saw him watching the sunset on the veranda. Upon hearing my voice, he quickly turns around to see me. I meet his gaze but I can't fathom what he was thinking.

"Are you enjoying the celebration?"

I shrugged my shoulders, he didn't even answer my question and now he was the one asking me. "I'm leaving for the Easter border, I will be staying in the villa there to give you the chance to get to know your Luna without my presence. This privacy would be better for both of you so that you won't feel obliged that I was here to watch you."

"You don't have to do that Father."

I looked around and saw his luggage ready to be taken away. "I am not doing this so you can freely do your thing son. This is also to let you rule the Palace and the whole pack without my advice, to let you stand on your own two feet. As your Father, my wish is for you to be able to succeed in your rule as the Alpha King."

I sighed and watched the end of the horizon on the west. There's a sudden urge of sadness in my heart. I didn't exactly want my Father to leave, but on the other hand, I hated his manipulation.

"Thank you for believing in me Father, I will make sure that everyone is safe and that this Palace will thrive for a longer time. Also, the pack will be the same, I will make sure none of the rogues can take a chance to enter our lands. But you can remain here Father, this Palace is big enough for even six families of wolves to live in."

The old man shook his head. And as he looked at the entrance of his chambers, I felt the approaching footsteps of the butler. I'm guessing that he would take him because Beta Osouf has to remain with me.

"I am not going to change my mind at this moment. Harris is coming, I assume you already know that I am taking him with me?"

I sighed. "Yes Father, that would be fine. Harris must be old but still reliable and very loyal to you."

Just after I said that, the older wolf came inside the chambers bowing his head to my Father and me. "Your majesty, Alpha King Zed. I am here to take all the luggage."

My Father nodded. "Thank you, Harris, make sure to take all the things that you need as well."

The old man smiled with a tap on his chest. "I am ready to leave your majesty."

Picking up my Father's luggage was very easy for the fit butler despite his age. I know that he would keep my Father safe. But I wouldn't rest if he is not going to take any warriors.

As the old butler picks up the luggage and my Father follows him I walk beside him and ask. "Did you select the warriors who are residing with you on the East Father?"

He cleared his throat and waved his hand. "I don't need any warriors for protection, Harris is more than enough and I can still defend the Villa on the East. You shouldn't look down on me that much just because I have become old son!"

I know I shouldn't have said that, but it doesn't mean that I was looking down on him.

"You know that is not what I mean Father."

He moved his hand dismissing the topic and I kept my mouth shut. I may be the Alpha King now but he was the Alpha King before me, and he was the strongest before he gave me the crown and I bet that until now my Father could beat down a dozen rogues all at once.

"Why don't you go talk to your wife son, she is now in the Palace and she could use your company."

I sighed.

"She will be alright, Zeina is with her. You know that we can't do what normal couples would do tonight Father. I don't know that woman, nor did I choose her to be my Luna. You choose her, not me! And you only said that I marry her and I can keep the throne."

My Father stayed silent until we reached the black-tinted four-wheel drive where Harris loaded their luggage. I stood and watched until I felt the air turned different, the wind blew to my ear and then as I turned around I saw my sister with the wolf that I just married. They were coming towards us, I crossed my arms on top of my chest. So Father called out for them.

* Althea *

I watched him stand towering beside the four-wheel drive where the old wolf, his Father was waiting. Alpha King Zed still wore the white long-sleeve shirt tucked in the trousers, the one he wore at the ceremony. Zeina said that their Father was leaving to leave for the Villa an hour away from the Palace and she would like us to say goodbye. But I didn't expect to see him here, it's silly of me not to think about him saying goodbye to his Father too.

"Father? Are you sure about this? Maybe it's better if I go with you."

She runs towards the side of Mister Greyback and hugs her. "Zeina dear, I'm glad that you are here and you brought Althea along."

While he hugged her, his eyes smiled towards me. I smiled back at him refusing to acknowledge the presence of my husband the Alpha King. But I feel his eyes all over me and I wonder if my dress looks fine.

"Have a nice trip Mister Greyback, your majesty."

I bow my head and acknowledge him. The old wolf turns to me and smiles. "Thank you Althea and learn to call me Father from this day forward, you are a part of this family now. It is your destiny, you and my son may make more heirs to fill in the rooms of the Palace."

My eyes turned wide and I felt the burning of my cheeks.

"Oh, but that is."

I couldn't finish my words when I felt him move and now he is standing close to me. Then he cleared his throat.

"That's easy to do Father, but the question is can my wife bear as many children as the room of the Palace has?"

His voice is challenging and his words rang in my ears. The old wolf laugh sounded well and fun it meant to comfort me and the nervous feeling in my heart.

"Well, I don't think that's possible son. It was a humor to test if you like children, and now I am happy to hear that you are going to have them. The sooner would be the better, isn't it Althea?"

The old man smiled at me the same as Zeina who gave me a wink and I was too scared to turn my head and see where the Alpha King is looking.

"Oh, I ah that is if the Alpha King wants."

I lowered my head and felt him stare at me before turning towards his Father. "I think you need to leave now Father, let me have a chat with my wife about everything first before we jump to the conclusion."

The butler whom I noticed standing behind the car opened the passenger seat for the old man. "Yes you are right, I have to leave. You handle things your own from now son but you can call me when there are things that bother you and things that the Alpha King cannot decide alone."

"I'll be alright Father."

Zeina walked closer to the old man and held his arm before making him sit on the passenger's side.

"Goodbye Father, I will come and visit you soon."

We all watch the four-wheel drive move away from the parking and turn around to the large gates of the Palace. Zeina looks at me. "I'm gonna leave you to my brother now Althea."

I meet her gaze too nervous to turn my head beside me. "Yes, thank you for your company Zeina."

I gulp down a lump in my throat, I could remember to go back to my chambers alone since I didn't expect that he would walk back.

"I'm glad you and my sister are doing well together, although that is not a surprise since she is a friendly lady. But you and me? There is something I would like to clarify Althea."

His voice changed. The tune turned from being normal while his Father and sister were here into being somewhat annoyed or irritable. I turned my head to the side where he was standing and there I met his gaze, they were like daggers and his lips were on a thin line. I wonder what made him go mad about me I surely didn't say anything that would make him angry like this.

But why is he looking at me as if it's my fault that his Father has to leave and go to the Villa of the East? If he thought it wasn't alright to be left here by his Father how about how I felt without the presence of my family? Yes, they live closer to the Palace but without the Alpha King's permission, they could never come visit me."What's wrong your majesty?"Before he could yell at me I asked the question. His face changes when he hears my voice as I manage not to tremble. "Your majesty? Oh yeah, you don't get to call me husband when we are alone! For I am the Alpha King and you are just."He stopped before saying the word but I felt the words from the way his eyes scanned me scornfully."I know where my family came from your majesty, you don't have to remind me at all.

I know her well enough to question myself why I still used her. Now that I have a wife, should I do it with her? I thought about her innocent face and the way she reacted to our first kiss at the ceremony. Hell! I curse at myself while sitting in my bed, I just had a quick cold shower but I felt my blood getting hot at the thought of her wearing nothing on.I can't deny the fact that she looks beautiful with an alluring sexy body she's not even aware of how a man looks at her.

    * Althea *As we finished the whole day by shopping and getting me new stuff, I concluded that if there was one person on my side earnestly in the Palace that was only Zeina. But the clothes, shoes, and even new lingerie were too much. The servants have to help me with carrying all the stuff to my bedroom."Oh Zeina, this is too much. I don't even have a special occasion to wear them." Her beautiful face wrinkles as she looks at me. "Of course you have! Don't stop yourself from looking great all the time Althea. Remember, you married the Alpha King and other female wolves are always after him. Wear the dresses that I bought and the new shoes even when you are just here."I shook my head. "But it's too much, I'm just home."I bit my tongue after I said that, I know that Zeina is royalty and she is used to wearing fancy things and dresses even just at home."It's not too much my dear, believe me. You look great as it is but even better with a touch of class and elegance. You deserve

Zeina is a Princess, but sometimes I tend to forget when we are talking like real sisters."Thanks, Thea, and your fur is stunning. You look so soft and have a very shiny brown fur, I wonder how you maintain such silky wolf hair. I think mine only looks good but my fur is a bit dry."I laugh at her descriptions, I don't think her fur is dry. But I think rather she is more stunning, how could someone be so perfect in both human and wolf form?"Are we leaving now or aren't we a bit early?"I ask before I follow her who paces to jump on the tall gates. "We need to leave now, I already saw Beta Osuof on the path to my brother's chambers and I know where they would be going next. It's better if we don't come face to face with them."I nodded. "Yes, I think I don't like to be found out by them as well."The Alpha King, my husband didn't even bother

But when I opened my eyes Zeina's wolf was already in front of me fighting off the rogue."Oh! Zeina, Thank God you are here."Zeina growls at the wolf, he is hurt by Zeina's claws. "Stay back Thea, this part of the land is not a territory of our pack anymore. The river was the end of our lands. But this should belong to humans and I wonder why a rogue is here!"The warning in Zeina's voice made me back away, the fear was eating me away but I was embarrassed too I am not even trained to fight."Zeina, we must call your brother. Please I am scared, it doesn't matter if he gets mad at me I'll tell him it's my fault.""Shhh, don't panic. He's the only one, this rogue is skinny I can fight him"The rogue made a violent attack aimed at Zeina because she was covering me.

    * Althea *I couldn't remember for how long was I asleep after the last thing I remembered. Hunting, fighting the rogues, feeling the pain in my chest and on my arms and I also remember Zeina getting hurt. It all started because I crossed the river, but that's because we were hunting and I followed the smell of a deer. When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar ceiling of my room. I'm still alive! Of course, because I remembered the grey wolf and the black wolf that helped us. "Good morning your Majesty! Thank God you are awake."Alberta is beside me bringing a a soup bowl on a try, while I could hear someone cleaning the balcony. "Good morning Alberta."I got up in a sitting position. "How do you feel your Majesty? Please drink this soup, it will help with the healing process."I notice myself in cotton pajamas, it must be her who dresses me up after I shift in my human form. The wounds on my arms are almost healed while it is covered in bandages and my chest I felt the same too.

However, I am still worried about the fact that Zeina is still not awake and she is still suffering. The doctors of the Palace are with her, yet I can't even get out of this room to go see her, I wanted to talk to the Alpha King about it but since morning he has not been back in the Palace yet. His hands are full, I know that because of what happened he needs to make sure that the Palace is safe."At least this room has the best view of the sunset. One that I always watched when I was younger."My head immediately turned towards him. He stands on the side of the double doors, arms crossed on his chest, wearing a t-shirt that fits on his chest and shows the muscles of his arms and a cotton jogger that defines his thighs and legs. I could tell he was fresh from the shower but I can't tell the expression on his face."Hello your Majesty, I am glad you visited me."Without finding the rig

So before he arrives in front of the Palace entrance I am already standing there waiting for him to get out of the vehicle. As I expected, he came with only his butler Haris. He came out and opened the door to let my old man out."Good morning Father."I took a few steps forward to meet him, but his face was grim when he saw me. "How is she holding up?""Still unconscious but her wounds are improving from the first day she was treated. The pack doctors thought that she could wake up at any time today if not tomorrow."My Father sighed. Haris bowed his head to me and made a brief greeting before taking out the small luggage that my Father brought with him. I accompanied him to the big entrance and we walked together inside the big hall of the Palace."What have you been doing not being able to help on time when the rogues attack them, son? That was your wife's and sister's life on th

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 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

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.

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!?

This room will be emptied of all the portraits that he has from childhood as well.

    * Althea *The night was quiet and unusually cold, I struggled to get some sleep because my thoughts were occupied with the recent incident I had with Alpha Joe. He is unstable, even the servants have complained about his attitude inside the Palace. After what he did to me, I don't think that Alpha Joe can go back to normal. He is just so different now, maybe the tragedy made him change. I pity him, and I want to help but how can I help him if he's acting like a villain? I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep, and suddenly, I thought that my peaceful evening would last, and that's when I heard some noise on the balcony. I got up from my bed and turned the lamp beside me. The dim light gives me a clear vision of my room then I walk out to open my door. I felt a presence outside the balcony, and the leaves of the plants were moving. There is no one else near my chambers tonight as Dylan and Albert have already retired and it's past midnight.
