* Prince Brad *"Father!"I saw him make the signal as soon as I opened my eyes and look at him. He was asking one of the Palace servants to escort Sydney back into the room. He does not that Sydney stays in the adjoining room of my chambers and I intend to keep it that way. My parents are obviously cold towards her no matter how my mother said that she cannot wait to see her."You may go back to your chamber, Miss Cooper I have a very important message to discuss with my son which requires me to be discreet at the moment. I hope you understand the situation we have on our hands."Surprise upon hearing her name being mentioned by my father. Sydney turned to me before bowing her head and standing up from the couch. "I will take my leave, Your Majesty, It was a pleasure talking to both of you. Alpha Brad, I would take my leave first.”My mother gave her a smile, one that did not reach the corners of her eyes. "Get some sleep, Miss Cooper."She took a bow towards my mother and Maleficus
* Prince Brad *Working with Maleficus on the archives until the break of dawn and yet to no luck in finding out whatever could help Sydney on her situation. I have to prove to my father that she is not a threat, she's not the traitor who wanted to kill me. I have known it ever since last night when she gave me herself and I realized that there has been no other man on her life but me. I could already hear Maleficus letting out an exhausted breath and he must be sleepy."Your majesty, it is almost morning. I wanted to help you, however, I need a good rest so that I can look into my vision once again. I wanted to help you, please I hope you understand."I stop my hand from scanning the pages and closed the big ledger then face him. "I know and I understand, You may take your leave now Maleficus. Thank you for tonight."He stand up from the chair and looked at me. "You need to get some rest as well your majesty, tomorrow your father might ask for your presence with the warriors on the t
* Sydney *I woke up on his bed feeling glad and still full of love from what happened between us a few hours back. I stretched out my arms and moved to my right meeting his amused eyes all over me."A pleasant morning to you too, Miss Cooper. You need to hurry up and fix yourself, I would like to take you somewhere and I will be needing your help in something important. Much as I love watching you sleep, however, my father's impatience is growing thinner that's why we must do this."The sound of his voice made me feel energized even though I could die due to the Alpha King's orders. However, I will not face this alone. He is with me, Alpha Brad is helping me and I can feel it in my heart that we will get through this. I smiled and got up from his bed covering myself with the thin sheets."You don't have to do that, I have seen it all from last night and the other night before that."His eyes say it all, the desire that's burning inside of him mirrored my own. "I will take a shower fi
* Prince Brad *I never meant to leave her in the old archives and work but I have duties to the pack and my father now that he is back. The search for her lineage in the old records of the Palace is necessary so that we can prove to my father that she is not the traitor. She does not exude the same aura or scent as her Aunt from the few times that I met her. Her Aunt looks plain and different, and even her wolf form. From what I know, white wolves are extinct and they are special."Your majesty! Where are you now? The Alpha King is here and he is waiting for you."There was an evident panic in Beta Dylan's voice as he called me in the mind link. My father is already in the warrior's training hall. Shit!"I'm almost there Dylan, just a few seconds. I am in the parking now, Do not tell my father anything about Sydney in case he asks. I will be the one to tell him that, and also let the other warriors know especially the ones who were with us back in the West."He sighed a relief. "Glad
* Sydney *I look at the old man in confusion, as his gaze never leaves mine after a few seconds have passed since he asked me the question. I understand his intention to know my life and where I came from, but I am not hiding anything. Even the fact that I was born in the family of Escariot, right after I became a Cooper, I would still accept the fact that I am not from this family. My origin is being born from a family who were branded as a traitor to the Alpha King, even if that earned me no friends."Can you look into my passed even when the day before I was conceived?"Maleficus smiled. "Not before you are conceived my dear, but I can see from the day you have been conceived by your real parents. I believe that Alpha Brad has sensed something that none of the normal wolves have noticed. Even something that was overlooked by his father the Alpha King."I leaned my back on the couch and calculated if I should do it, but the fact that it could help me meant better for all of us. I h
* Prince Brad *I couldn't wait to go back as I was driving my raptor back to the Palace, my thoughts were already occupied by her and what may have happened to their search. There could be some improvements that would help us with our problem. Some proof that will help her prove to my father, that she is not an Escariot by blood. I know that they are still in the old archives as Maleficus is not yet calling me for confirmation that he left. My legs moved faster as I started walking to the entrance and headed directly toward where I left them in the morning.My hand almost trembles when I push the door of the old archives open. I could hear the faint noise of conversation from inside."What is going on?!"I furrowed my brows looking at her sitting on the couch with her hands covering her face, the sound of her sobs made me feel anxious to know what happened. My eyes turned toward Maleficus full of questions and waited for his answer."Your majesty, I have looked into Sydney's passed.
* Sydney *I haven't slept a wink, waiting for this morning to come. To be seeing the most powerful wolf I ever knew brings my heartbeat to rise. The Alpha King looks intimidating as always sitting on a couch beside her Queen. They looked so perfect together and their presence is making me feel conscious of myself and Alpha Brad. I couldn't even look at the Luna Queen in the eyes for I am afraid that she would know what's going on between me and her son. I needed to keep it steady and wait until he would tell his parents about us.Right now there are more important things that we must do and we must consider as the Alpha King should be convinced that I am not a threat."So, I am all ears to what is the reason that you have requested to have an important meeting with me in this early morning my son?"I hide the fact that his voice is making me nervous that's why after briefly greeting them I sat in the corner of the long couch while Alpha Brad sat in the middle facing his parents. Male
* Sydney *I did not expect that the Alpha King and the Luna Queen decided to invite my Aunt and Uncle to the Langston Palace the following evening. The special dinner will be held in the Huge dining hall at the grand rooftop. Thinking about revealing that I have known my past to my family raises a lot of emotions in my heart. However, the most important part is that I no longer be on trial as a traitor to the Alpha King or Alpha Brad as the successor.There is also one more special day to be held when I would meet the Alpha of the North. Alpha King Vincent has sent a word to let him meet me. We will be waiting for his reply soon."They have arrived at the gates."A voice coming from Alpha Brad sitting beside me made me raise my eyes. The long table is set very elegantly, and I am surrounded by the Langston family. Alpha King Vincent is in the center while Luna Queen Ashley is sitting on his right. Alpha Brad is on the left side of his father while I sit beside him. There are empty ch
*Prince Brad*The huge place was well-decorated and full of guests from all over the region. I did not expect that they would all come, my father handed out the invitations for the four Alphas of the East, West, North, and Southern regions to come for my wedding day. It was only a week of preparations but everything falls into place faster than it should be. I have to thank the help of Jessica's family and Charles who gave us support for our most awaited day. As I stand at the altar waiting for her to come, my father is looking at me.My brother Nick and his mate Emma were also present. Jessica is with Sydney and my mother, getting ready but the rest of us are already present."What is taking them so long?"I fix the white bow tie on my neck and ask my father who's sitting not far from the place where I am standing. "They will be here any minute son just take it easy. Your mother said that they are on the way and Charles is already with your bride."I took a deep breath and calm mysel
* Sydney *In less than a week after that amazing breakfast we shared, Alpha Brad and I decided to hold the most significant day of our lives. The whole Royal Pack of Wolves has been busy decorating and preparing as we celebrate our union. We will have all the guests coming from different regions, the Alphas around the world are paying their respect to his father the Alpha King, and to Alpha Brad who's leading the Royal pack. I also meet face to face with his brother Nick and his mate Emma who is almost four months on the way."Oh! You are the most beautiful girl in a wedding dress Sydney! I am so happy to see you getting married, my friend. Now we would be officially family!"Jessica is full of life in her pink bridesmaid gown, the silky fabric fits her delicate skin. And I am nervous and excited at the same time, that without her I don't think I could act accordingly. It is true what they say that your wedding will be different from any other occasion that you attend. I've experienc
* Sydney *Disoriented, I opened my eyes to stare at a beautiful chandelier hanging above the ceiling. How long was I out? I remembered screaming in pain and the voice of my Aunt angry and vengeful. Even the pained expression on Alpha Brad's face. My hand searched for my stomach feeling the bandage around me, I was stabbed by a silver blade. A shocking revelation when my Aunt tried to kill me, I felt the pain in my heart more than the pain coming from my wound. I am thankful for my genes that I was able to endure and here I am still alive.Silver blades are making the wolves suffer from pain which can result in death. By I have survived, Alpha Brad has helped me."Oh, how long was I sleeping?"The female pack doctor smiled while looking at me. She wore a white lab jacket that made me feel, that I was well taken care of. "Good day, Miss Coopers! It's good to see you are awake. It is the fourth day now, to be exact. You are healing faster than a normal wolf. maybe it is because you have
* Prince Brad *It's been three days since Sydney has been confined in a room and sadly she has not woken up yet. The wound on her stomach is slowly healing and she is totally out of danger however, she is still not awake and I have nothing else to do but just stay with her every day and night. The pack is back to normal but I doubt it would ever be normal after the slaughter of the Cooper clan and the security being tightened by my father. I stretched the sore muscles of my body and stood up from the chair that I was sitting to walk towards the window."Good morning Your Majesty! How is our beautiful patient this morning?"Maleficus greeted me with two of the pack's female doctors behind him. It is time for them to change her bandages and her clothes. I may have to step out with the old man."Morning Maleficus."The two doctors greeted me and bowed their heads as I waved my hand to let them spare with the formal greetings and proceeded to take care of the things around her. I glanced
* Prince Brad *My mind is bleeding just like how Sydney faces the edge of losing her life I feel like I am losing mine looking at her and gritting my teeth clenching my fist because the monster beside her is killing her soon. I swear that she would get the punishment she deserves for hurting the most special she-wolf in my life. How did they know that Sydney was my mate? I have never told anyone about that! Not even Maleficus who already saw her in my vision, and what is going on? The old man saw me getting stabbed, not Sydney!"Stop this charade, Missis Cooper, I know that you care about Sydney. You should hurt me, not her! I am the one whose lineage has made you suffer. Leave her out of this!"I could almost kill her with the way I look at her but she is determined. Her eyes are now turning red and Sydney is losing her breath. If I prolonged this for the conversation, she would lose a lot of blood and die."I like to see the hurt in your eyes Alpha Brad, yes! That's it, beg me for
*Prince Brad *I never liked Charles and his arrogant pale face showing off in the Langston Palace. He might be related to me by blood but he is more like his father, who is a white wolf from the North. The wolves of the Langston family are only grey or brown to streaks of black yet Charles's wolf is as white as snow, a total opposite of his character. Despite that, I have to respect him being two decades older than me. It does not show in his face but he is a much older wolf with no mate and a mean character that I am worried about Sydney going to the North.As we wait for the Coopers to come and send them off, my pride and my feelings for Sydney are eating me alive. I gulp down a glass of whiskey and look at the front doors when a warrior bows his head to make an announcement."Your majesty, the Coopers are coming in."My father signaled his hand to let them inside. "Finally, the Coopers are here Charles."We all focus our sight on the front doors as they open. Sydney stands up to m
* Sydney *As I sat on the couch inside the comfort of the Langston Palace with the Alpha King and Luna Queen, I could not help but wonder why Alpha Brad is keeping to himself at a distance. Pouring himself a glass of whiskey so early in the morning while the rest of us are having coffee. The Luna Queen took a glance at him sitting on the long stool beside the bar counter. He must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed."Brad my dear, isn't it too early for whiskey? We have a guest coming, remember that Charles is the next Alpha of the North. He would be here at any minute."The Luna Queen voiced out, while the Alpha King looked at the door pretending that he did not notice anything from his son."It's alright Mother, just one glass should be fine. He has been here many times before, and I assure you that Charles will take a glass of whiskey and not a cup of coffee when he comes."I met his gaze towards me when the Luna Queen pouted and Alpha King Vincent waved his hand. "He is en
* Sydney *The Luna Queen was nice throughout the day and Alpha Brad was distant. I don't know what is going on in his mind anymore. I can't tell him that I'm hurt and that his treatment of me affected me the most. However, being with the Luna Queen seemed to change a lot of things about my stay in the Palace. "Look at this nice dress Sydney, it will suit you the best. You can wear it tomorrow dear, the successor of the North is coming to meet you and are you alright with visiting the North?"I look at her and the beautiful dress in her hand, she doesn't look old despite the huge gap between our ages. I noticed that Brad only took a little of her features, he took mostly out of his father's looks the Alpha King."Yes, Your Majesty. I agreed with the Alpha King's announcement to meet the soon-to-be Alpha of the North. He is a white wolf just like myself and maybe he can tell me more about our lineage.""Oh, yes that is right Sydney. The white wolves are only from the North, I heard th
* Prince Brad *My parents did not impose further on asking about my relationship with Sydney and it was better for me. I know that they have noticed my actions, which concern mostly about her. The changes I made, I was not even aware of it before. I acted all on impulse and according to how I felt inside. The dinner was over and we retired to our room but I chose to go into the old archives and dig deeper. Staying in the room without touching Sydney is an impossible thing to do, and I would rather work my ass to sleep."Good morning your Majesty! I am sorry to disturb you, sir."The apologetic face of one of the Palace's servants greeted me when I opened my eyes from leaning back on the couch. I had fallen asleep inside the old archives/"Good morning. Please put all these things in order, and bring me a hot cup of black coffee, no sugar.""Right away your majesty."The servant picked up the books and ledgers on top of the table and he then got himself out of the room to get what I h
