Stiles who was not pleased with Magnus' condition approached another elder. Elder Samuel to tell him about his problem. He was the next in command after Magnus. It was safe to say that he was the Gamma.
" I need your help." He said.
"Okay, in what way?" Samuel replied curious to hear what Stiles had to say.
Stiles began.
"I have to be the king."
'You cannot' Samuel thought but It was evident that the only way he could get information from stiles was to play along.
"How do you intend to achieve that?" He asked.
"That's where you come in." Stiles said.
"Okay." Samuel replied still lost for words.
"How?"
"Good question." Stiles said. He loved the way the man thought.
He would be a better replacement than Magnus.
There was some about Magnus that seemed off.
"I need you to convince my father to make me the king." He said.
This boy must be joking
"How do you
Kiss me! He said.Her face flashed to his. His eyes were shining with mirth, laughing at her.She was pissed."No" she replied.He raised his brows but she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction he wanted.Okay then, he smiled, her eyes fixated on his lips.Her eyes flashed with heat.He smiled inwardly, she wasn't as immune as she pretended to be.New tactic, two could play the game.He pretended to head for the door.Cisca's eyes widened, was he leaving already?She wanted to tell him to wait but her pride wouldn't allow her.When he got to the door, he stopped.What now? She thought.He swiveled and came back to her and crashed his lips on hers.She closed her eyes and let out a low moan which did something to his member. It rose to attention immediately.This man could kiss
There was a understanding established between them now.They could feel it.Cisca couldn't hide the fact that they she was happy.An agreement was reached between them."We are going to pretend that we do not know each other, while we meet secretly." Alden suggested."Is that okay?" He asked."Yes." She replied. The feeling was surreal. This man was running things by her.It made her see Alden in a different light.She had always seen him as a tyrant that didn't care about anything else but himself.They heard howling signifying that the hunt was coming to an end.They looked at the door.He had to go.He drank in her face again. He knew he was going to always see her but there might be no luxury of time like today.She hugged him tightly and he slowly disengaged from her embrace.He left the room and went to the pack house.
Cisca walked into Alden's room with her cleaning tools.On getting there, she knocked on the door.A voice told her to come in.She pushed the door open andmet Alden lying in bed."Lock it." He said.He was tired from the medications. She didn't like seeing him down like this.It was a matter of days before he bounced back to normal.She wanted to go hug him but she hesitated. She knew that he said he wanted them to be together.But she didn't think it was appropriate.Alden sensing her hesitation beckoned to her."Come here, Cisca."She hurried towards him and went to hug him tightly avoiding his stomach area. That was where the assailant cut him."You missed me." He teased. Flicking her nose as she looked down shyly."Yes." She replied quietly.
She brought out a letter from her coat and handed it over to the king.It read" The King is a hinderance to my success. I need you to take him out."Another one read"Eliminate Alexia, and Stiles." Also Signed by Magnus.The king kept his anger at bay. So Magnus wanted him dead. After all the things they had been through?They were friends from childhood.How did she get all this information? She wasn't a saint either."I don't believe this." He would milk information from her.She was not happy at his indifference.Was he pretending to be clueless or he was actually clueless?The king wasn't a pretender. He wore his heart on his sleeves. That was both a good thing and a bad thing.He could also be cruel if he wanted to."Is that how much you tr
"I am not seeing anyone." Cisca insisted. She was not going to admit it. What If Martin was involved in the coup going on in the palace? She may not be able to fight for Alden, but she could protect him. Martin smiled, " You know you can tell me anything. We are friends, you are not supposed to hide anything from me." The devil never announced whenever he wanted to strike. Her eyes still darted to the door. She was scared of him. So he let her go, but he intended to find out. He loved her so much that it hurt him. She didn't even kiss him back. But, she went all the way with this guy. He had never seen her with any man prior to their friendship. It wasn't easy for him to let her go. But that was the true meaning of love. He wouldn't become a monster because he loved a woman. Cisc
The next week, Amelia was discharged from the hospital. She thanked Doctor Bart again.It wasn't going to be easy. She felt a deep loss within her. But it needed to be done."I need a favor from you." She said.Dr Bart looked worried, he didn't want a situation where he'd have to tell more lies.What he did was against his work ethic. He only assuaged his conscience by saying it was because he wanted to save Amelia's life."What might that be, your highness?" He asked her. He hoped that it wasn't anything criminal. Patients had the tendency to want to rope you into doing their bidding, once you lie for them."I don't want to get pregnant." She said.Well he wasn't the one that gave children but he understood what she was trying to say."I cannot increase your pills, they'll disrupt your hormones." He explained"I don't care just do something that would
Nicky was informed about her son and Cisca meetings in the garden.She was pissed. Martin has refused to listen to her. It was the girl that needed to be dealt with.She summoned Martin to her room."Mom I have great news for you." He told her.She could see that he was excited."What news?" She asked." I have been given admission to school in the neighboring pack." He announced cheerfully."I resume in Fall." Her face fell at the news. This boy didn't think about securing his future at all.All he wanted was to study.Martin's face fell at his mother's countenance."I'm happy for you." She said without a smile.Martin stood up. She rose up likewise."Why don't you want to become king?"Martin groaned. This was beginning to sound like a broken r
She smiled and nodded her head. Alden didn't waste time to draw her closer to him and kiss her. She felt lightheaded again. The feeling never fading every timeHe looked at her again for permission and she nodded again. She heard it was painful but she was going to endure it anyway.She could see the love in Alden's eyes.He kissed her neck. She felt his fangs extract but he hesitated giving her chance to object.It made her love him the more. He didn't just want to take. He valued her opinion.She looked at him. His eyes were closed."Hey." She held his head."I'll be alright. I want this, I want you." She reassured him.He sighed and kissed her again, and sank his teeth into her neck.Woah! Nothing prepared her for the pain that she felt.She gasped.Alden licked the blood from her shoulder."I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He muttered.
"I am extremely delighted to be given this opportunity to be your leader. I promise to serve you the way I should." Alden vowed.Then, he drew Cisca closer to him, " I am also seizing this opportunity to present to you my Queen, the one for me. The owner of my heart." He replied and the crowd erupted in louder cheers. "I accept you as my King and husband," Cisca replied with tears misting in her eyes. " I love you," Alden replied, drew her closer to him, and gazed at her lovingly before kissing her deeply. " You are so beautiful."" You are not bad yourself." Cisca teased." Take it back." He whispered and she smiled.Elder Drew stepped forward and announced. " We present to you the Alpha King and Luna or Moonstone pack! Alpha Alden and Luna Cisca!"The pack clapped loudly as their joy was infectious. " Be merry and enjoy!" Alden said and music was played. Alden and Cisca moved around to greet visiting Alphas. "Alpha Jared, thanks for coming." Alden greeted the lonely Alpha.He l
Three weeks later, " Whew! I have missed this place." Cisca muttered when she arrived at the pack house.Alden chuckled as they walked upstairs together with Shawn in his arms. " I have to quickly attend to some letters, I'll be back in some minutes." He told her after placing Shawn in his cot. The calm baby watched his father who poked kisses at him. Cisca looked up, " We'll be fine, I am feeling sleepy." She said."Okay." He replied and returned to his office. A log of files waited for him and he had to attend to each of them one after the other. One was from Alpha Jared, and he stared at the file skeptically. How was he sure that this was truly from him? He heard a knock on the door. " Come in " He replied with a gruff voice. " I'm sorry for barging in." Elder Drew apologized. A maid had told him that Alden said he didn't want disturbance. Alden looked up, " It's fine, you can come in." He said and Elder Drew sat down. " I came the discuss the issue of choosing your members
" How is she doing?" Alden asked a nurse when she came out of the room. It was getting to an hour and she had not heard a baby's sound. His heart almost left his chest. He hoped nothing happened to her. " Fine, please just relax." She said and walked briskly to god knows where. Alden paced outside the door for a long time. He looked at his watch, it was another thirty minutes, and he barged into the room. " You can't be here." A nurse protested and he shot her a withering glare which made her retreat in surrender. Alden looked at Cisca who was sweating profusely on the bed as she writhed in pain. " Dr. Bart, what is happening?" He asked. " She's pushing." He replied and turned to Cisca, " Push!" Cisca tried all her might to push but nothing was coming out, " I can't." She cried. Exhaustion was written all over her.Alden was at her side at the instant, he held her hand, " You can, baby, you can." He soothed.Cisca began to cry, " I can't. I don't want this baby to die." Alden
The first thing Alden put in place was the detachment from any financial treaty between his pack and others. This required him to take his time to make strategic plans about how to generate a sustainable source of income." Hello, babe." Cisca knocked on his office door." Come in." He replied.Cisca pushed the door open and walked in with a tray. She sighed at the sight of files scattered about his desk. "Do you ever get rest?" She inquired. Alden chuckled. "I believe I would soon. I just need to put things in place." He said and rose to collect the tray from her."" Are you sure?" She asked. He didn't look like he was going to stop soon He nodded, " Of course I will. I am having conversations with a few Alphas, but we are yet to conclude." He said. " Alright." " Thanks for the cookies. But I told you to rest. We have maids." He scolded her gently." Okay." She replied. It wasn't stressful for her. In fact, she wanted to stretch her leg more. " Hmm, I don't think you will stop.
A week later, Cisca decided to go for a stroll in the garden. Boredom had gotten the best of her. If she spent another minute in that house, she wasn't sure of what could happen.What a sunny day, she thought as she reminisced on the recent incidents. It was very painful because she had lost very important people in her lives. First, it was Reagan, now Martin.A hand suddenly closed over her eyes and she screamed. A light familiar chuckle calmed her nerves. " What the hell?" She asked and turned to see the culprit. Alden stood before her with his hands stuck deep in his pockets. " Hello, love." Cisca burst into tears, and Alden panicked. " What is it?" "These are tears of joy." She sniffled and hugged him and sniffed his scent. She was so happy to see him. How did she not notice his scent? "I'm sorry, I should have returned much earlier. I was tidying up some things." He apologized. Cisca wiped her tears with the tip of her cloth. " It's fine. I'm just happy that you are here."
The man managed to escape, and Martin carried Amelia to the house. Cisca was waiting at the foot of the stairs and her mouth fell open when she saw an injured Amelia." What happened to her?" she asked as Martin called for other guards at the border. It was almost three a.m. before the pack house was stabilized. Alexia was baffled by what was happening. She locked herself in her room. She saw the intruder that came into the house through the window. Cisca paced around as Dr. Bart worked on Amelia. Her bleeding finally stopped and she slept off. " How did he manage to break into the house with this amount of security?" Alexia queried the next day. " We don't know, your highness. We chased him to the border, but he was able to cross it before we got it." A guard said.Alexia crossed her arms. " We will know the truth in the morning." She said. She could bet that this was targeted at her. This was what she could do." You can all leave. We'll speak about this in the morning." Martin d
Dr. Bart stood amid the office with all the elders in the room and his notepad in hand. " The autopsy took longer than we anticipated." "What have you discovered?" Martin asked. Dr. Bart looked at each of them and wondered and saw the tension on their faces, " Poison was discovered in his system. It was in his system for five months. It was wolfsbane." He said. Alexia rose, she faced Nicky, "I knew it, you killed my son." She said. Everyone turned towards Nicky, and Nicky rose to her feet. " This is ridiculous." She said, " I will not allow your stupidity to rub off on me." She said.Alexia looked at Nicky, " I want an investigation to go on." She said. "I want to find out who killed my son. When I get to the root cause of this issue, I promise that I will not spare the person." She said." How do you intend to do this?" Martin replied. Alexia smirked, she already had a plan." We will visit a seer. She will tell us who killed him." She responded. Nicky's heart skipped a bit at
" How are we preparing for his burial?" Elder Drew inquired. Queen Alexia looked up with an ashy face which was puffy from crying too much. " We are doing nothing about it. The elders can around " I want an autopsy to be conducted for him." Queen Alexia ordered and the elders looked at her. " He was murdered." She explained she needed to find his murderer. The elders exchange glances between themselves. " Okay, we will inform the doctor." Elder Drew said. Martin patted her back gently as she sobbed after they left. " Everything will be fine. They'll get to the root of the matter." He assured her. He stared at her with pity-filled eyes. Alexia was unable to eat for days and she began to lose shape. " It's so sad. I know who did this." She said. Martin's hand stopped moving as he turned to look at her. " Who?" Why didn't she say anything? Moreover, didn't she also kill the king?" I suspect it was poison. Someone in this house did it." Alexia replied flippantly. Intrigued by the
Between Cisca's frequent visits and cheering Stiles up, Cisca became a bit ill. She didn't play with her health this time as she visited the doctor immediately. Dr. Bart couldn't just stop her from staying with Stiles because he was the king, but he feared that she could catch his sickness. " You are running on low fuel." He said. " I thought that I told you not to stress yourself anymore?" He asked. "Yes, you did." Then he lowered his voice and listened to see if anyone was passing by. " Why are you staying with Stiles? You need rest." He scolded her. If Stiles was that useful, why was she mandated to stay with him? "I know, you said that it wasn't contagious right?" Dr. Bart nodded and watched her, " Yes, that doesn't mean that you should endanger your life because of whatever. I'm sure you are doing this out of pity which is good but very dangerous to your health. I don't want you to lose this baby." He said. "Alden will have my head if anything happens to you." He added.
