2024-10-29 19:42:56* Prince Vincent *
I know she's upset, the business of her family is about to be thrown away. It was her father's legacy and her mother worked so much to keep it this far. For some reason, I never wanted to suggest something that can't be done. I could buy the entire building and give it back to her but I am sure she will not agree knowing how righteous her mindset is.
"Come on Ash, don't make this day so bad for both of us. I have to leave and be on a mission very soon so let us make this day at least a little worthwhile."
Her eyes are misty when she looks up at me, a little bit surprised by the information. Then for a moment, I thought tears would fall from those beautiful and bright almond shape eyes but she manages to push them away.
"Where to your majesty?"
Her interest changed and her voice sounded genuinely interested in my journey. It would be nice if I could take her wit

* Prince Vincent *The long journey from the Langston palace into the Western region takes almost two days. It was tough to be on a voyage reckoning about what I declared to her when I left. What if she leaves? Then I would be left alone for the rest of my life. It would mean to the pack that their Prince was rejected by his mate. Am I going to find another one or is she the only one for me?I gave her the final decision on the fate of our love, if she leave for the city, I would still keep her safe by sending the royal pack warriors around her for protection. My enemies haven't all vanished, I knew there are more of them out there.

* Ashley *"Oh, mom! I've waited for you all day, what took you so long?"It was almost nightfall when my mother came and visit me at the guest house. We talked over the phone and plan to meet today. I am ready to go but my heart feels heavy, something incomprehensible is bothering my heart. I need her to tell me what's the best thing to do.Her hands tightened around me as she answers my question. "I am not alone sweetie."The door opened wide as soon as she finished the short sentence and the tall figure of the great Alpha King Jack entered the house. Suddenly the surrounding feels small for the two of us with his presence being added."How are you doing Miss Snipes? I'm sorry to be interrupting your mother and daughter moment nevertheless, your mother and I have a brief meeting this morning."His hands gestured to make us all sit on the couch inside the li

* Prince Vincent *The Alpha house stood on a highland surrounded by tall concrete fences and guarded by several warrior wolves from the west. It's a three-story mansion with a vast garden and a wide parking space. It looks newly built, I haven't seen the place since my last visit."Welcome to the Alpha house your majesty, I spent days and nights finishing this comfortable place so that the next time you visit you could sleep comfortably in."I looked around and see the gates slowly open and our vehicle gets in. The flattery in his voice did not impress me."Marvelous! You did well Alpha Rio! This looks great, thank you for building such a beautiful place for your nephew."His eyes widened and his gaze looked away, he did not comment on my praise. Bringing up his nephew into the conversation makes him upset so quickly."Such a lovely Alpha house indeed!"Malef

* Ashley *My luggages are all packed and are settled at the back of my mother's car. As soon as we are settled in the car her driver started the engine and we head out followed by a pickup truck with four warrior wolves escorting us until we reach our destination. It doesn't feel frightening to be out there alone knowing that these wolves are going to protect us."I hope you are happy with the decision you made Ash, you know we are not aware of the enemies of the Prince if they are to attack us after the warriors leave."I turned my head toward her, she was looking outside the window. She's more upset that I left the Prince than the fact that we could be in danger, I know that for sure. But I don't want to say something that will add to her feelings."I'm sorry mom, I just want us to live a normal life again. I think that we will be alright since Prince Vincent assured me that the monster wolf and t

* Ashley *I felt my whole body burning up and the sweat comes out of my pores all over. The pain is killing me, and yet I couldn't say anything. I am half awake and half asleep at the same time but I could feel the people around me. I can hear their voices talking in the room.My mother who I am sure is the one holding my hand, is trembling in mixed emotions. The doctors are probably the people she's talking to, there are two of them. I hear their worried voices discussing about my condition."What happened to my daughter doc? Can she survive this?!""Yes of course Mrs. Snipes, do not worry so much and pray for a fast recovery. Some humans die after a wolf's bite but she displays a hundred percent survival. So I guess we are very lucky!""Oh, thank heavens for that doctor!"Wait, are we in the City or back in Langston Palace? I couldn't open my eyes yet. My

* Prince Vincent *The trip back took time as we have company, and we need to stop for food and get some rest. I am not comfortable leaving the Western pack under the rule of Alpha Rio however, my main purpose is to bring the child back to the Langston Palace. I did what my father asked, and leave whatever doubts I have for Alpha Rio and his brother in the West.When we arrived at the Langston Palace and the gates opened to let us all in, I could feel the difference in the air. The Palace has an aura of someone I did not recognize before. Did my father have guests?"Wow! It's huge!"I turned towards Venus who exclaimed as excitement reflects in her expression. The boy beside her remained calm and he look around before he stepped outside of the car. They both assessed the wide entrance to the Palace."Please, feel free to mind link me whenever you or Xander need my help. My father

* Prince Vincent *It was in the middle of the night when I smell the scent getting stronger. I sniff the air and wonder who could it be since my father has not said anything about a guest staying in the Palace. Xander and his mother have already retired for the night, having to wake up early in the morning to watch the warrior's training."Vincent, we have an urgent matter to discuss."The voice of my father stops my hand from grabbing another glass of whiskey on the counter. I looked behind me and meet his gaze then I move my eyes to see Carmela standing close to her. My mind was somewhere else."Yes father, what is it? We can discuss it here."I smirk and took the glass promptly, emptying it before placing it back. My father ran his eyes around, people are dancing to the loud music in the hall. This is a small party to welcome our guests who already left to rest.

* Prince Vincent *I feel the flesh coming from my father's chest entering my fingernails and smell the blood that comes out of his body. Carmela sprinted and pushed me hard to the side that my father's grip loosened and I fell to the floor. I could have stopped her but I have never hurt a she-wolf in my entire life."Don't fight! Please, your majesty. I am so sorry."My father stood still and let her embrace him in a very tight manner. "Stop apologizing Carmela! This has to end now! Our son has no right to disrespect you or me. He needs to know the truth!"My ears are echoing with his choice of words, our son? What the hell does he think of her, she is not my mother's replacement! She will never be!I stood up as fast as I fell and strode toward them, however, Maleficus was faster to get in my way."Your majesty, please hear the truth before you think of fighting with you

* Luna Ashley *I pace back and forth on the floor of our room creating a noise that everyone could here around me while I look at the door, we keep it open so that I could hear what they were talking about in the office down the hall. Maleficus looks at me with a reassuring gaze, while my mother sit still on the couch beside him."Your majesty, I think this will be over soon. Don't worry about Alpha King Vincent, he is capable of concealing his temper in order not to hurt those humans."I shook my head and watch the door again. "I wanted to be with the meeting but they won't allow me to."My mother smiled at me. "Sweetheart, just let the men do the talking for now. There is a peace treaty that needs to be followed but lately, the rules have been broken by so many humans in the city so maybe they have to make a new set of rules that will be applied to all."I nodded my head. Unlike me, my mother understood the legal process better. "They were talking for quite a long time. I want you

*Alpha King Vincent *"How is she?"The pack doctors smiled at me. "Good morning your majesty, her vitals are good. We are sure that she will wake up soon."I took a deep breath and look at Ashley, she look better now. I notice her rosy cheeks returned their color, she is also breathing normally. It is a good day, I am certain that my Luna will wake up soon.“Thank you for the hard work, you can all get some rest today.""You're welcome, your majesty."They bow to me once more before leaving our bedroom. I move towards the window and open the curtains wide. To let the rays of sunlight get inside is good for Ashley."Good morning your majesty, would you like me to bring you a cup of coffee?"Riza stood at the door of our bedroom asking me with a smile on her face. "Morning Riza, yes please."I heard her footstep descend while I lowered myself on the couch near the bed. My eyes did not leave Ashley, I can feel that she will wake up soon. A few minutes later then Riza came into the room

* Alpha King Vincent *The room is now quiet, as I have instructed all of them to leave. I stay alone watching her laying on our bed, I wanted to kiss her and talk to her. Hear her voice and listen as she whispers the words I longed to hear. I needed her, but she is still weak fighting the poison in her body. My eyes close as I leaned my back on the couch which I place next to our bed.I couldn't take it if she wouldn't wake up, the rage is fueling my fear as I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. Now my thoughts are on the people who did this to her, the humans! Treacherous humans, I swear to the Moon Goddess if she did not improve I shall end their lives. Their family will suffer my fury and no one can stop me, I am the Alpha King, I will make them pay until the last person with a drop of the same blood in their veins."Beta Derek!" I decided to call my Beta in the mind link and ask him what is the situation in the prison. If I am to go there that old woman will not live to see t

* Alpha King Vincent *With the familiar roads and the trees beside it with the birds chirping as we passed by, I can feel a growing sense of happiness as I remember the land where I come from. I know the warriors with me felt the same. As we have been away for quite a while, most of us missed the familiar grounds more. And there is one person that I miss the most. My Queen Luna of the Royal pack, Ashley. I wanted to surprise her by coming earlier than what was planned."Oh, we're almost there your majesty. It feels like home already."Calib uttered while watching at the window of our vehicle. He is taking the steering wheel while I sat beside him in the front. The air and even the sky is familiar."It feels good to be back. I hope that nothing out of ordinary has happened while I am away."Calib smiled behind the steering wheel. "Maybe no, your majesty. Maleficus and Beta Derek are there so rest assured that everything is in place and the same as how it was when we left."I nodded an

There are only two days left and finally, he will come back with all the warriors who joined him on the journey to the West.I was about to get out of the room when my phone ring. There is only one person who calls me in that number, because I rarely use mobile phone. It is my mother. My hand quickly grab the mobile and put it beside my ear."Hello mom?"It's been a while since I last saw her. She must have heard about the travel of the Alpha King away from the Palace."Hi sweetheart, I called to let you know that I am visiting you tomorrow if that's alright? Maybe you are lonely since I heard about the Alpha King Vincent being on travel."The smile
The Next Alpha King Book 2 Chapter 80. Triumphant
* Alpha King Vincent *I felt his strength and the anger boiling inside his body as Alpha Xander crushed his heart in front of all the warriors and rogues, and before my very eyes. Everyone stared at him and no one dares to move or say anything even I was stunned for a second before I realized that I have to declare that the enemies have no more leader. Rio's eyes turned blank before his body collapsed on the floor creating a loud thud."Rio is dead! Long live Alpha Xander of the West who defended his territory with courage!"I howled loudly, echoing through the lands of the West, declaring our triumph and giving fear to the remaining enemies as they dropped to the ground and whimpered. They surrendered to the warriors of the West and to my warriors which survived."Alpha Xander! Are you alright?"Alex run towards him and hold his shoulders. His hands still hold the heart of Rio, but he crushed it strongly and then held his head high. Just like a brave warrior who won the fight."The

*Alpha King Vincent *"How dare you!"I feel enraged as the meaning of his words reaches my ears. Just when I was about to make a move, shots were fired against us. My reflexes were faster than the bullet when I jump away and dodge a dozen of them being rained down on us."No! You bastard!"The warriors are being hit! As much as I wanted to kill him but I needed to stop the snipers hiding above the trees. I must stop them or my warriors will die against the silver bullets. Damn humans!"Stop shooting you fools!"I have located two snipers above the branches of a tree not far from the place where we encountered Rio and his rogues. My movements are faster than the bullet they fired, for I took one man after the other, and then it makes one left."You are as good as I could remember your majesty! Still the fastest wolf in the land! However not fast enough to save the others!"My eyes turned red as I watch the warriors from the Langston Palace burn in the hit of the silver bullets shot th

*Alpha King Vincent *The air feels different, the winds that blow from the East will past the trees and the tall grasses carrying the scent of flowers and the insects that joins the course of nature. However, it doesn't feel normal anymore. Every day since I arrived in the West, I make it a habit to sit by the balcony and used my heightened sense of smell to get familiarized myself with the scent around me. And now I am certainly aware of the strange scents that mix with the usual scents that I inhale every day.My eyes squinted as I tried to look much closer into the tall trees. Calib who just left to run some errands is still in the mansion, I can feel his footsteps going down the stairs. But before he could leave, I opened the mind link to call him."Calib, come back. I want you to see something."I feel his movements stop and then he walks towards the stairs and back into the door which leads to the balcony. "What is it, your majesty?"His eyes meet mine when I turn around to see

* Luna Ashley *Before the sun bid goodbye to the forest of the Langston Palace and took away the rays of light that it bestowed for the day, Maleficus and Beta Derek decided that we show the enemies our strength. I stood behind them who fought hard to keep me behind the walls of the Palace, however as I challenge Beta Derek to either fight me or we fight together, the old man Maleficus insisted to follow my orders.We have a group of warriors already waiting by the roads so the enemies will be seen even before they enter the borders of the Royal pack. My heart is thumping loudly inside my chest as I am standing with my feet bare and only a house dress on. Hundreds of warriors behind my back and another hundreds in the front. We are all ready to shift and defend the Langston Palace."I hate standing here with you your majesty, waiting for the enemy to approach is not my thing. I should have stayed in the front roads to meet the first enemy who enters our way. This is ridiculous."Bet
