* Ashley *It's the second night of our honeymoon and I still feel like I'm on top of the clouds. Floating with my wings fluttering and keeping me high, where the wind blew onto my face and my weightless body swaying happily. Love is overwhelming and right now we are both feeling it with each other.The incident in the forest involving the young Alpha of the West has made Vincent occupied after we came back to the chambers. I didn't want to part from him even for a single second however I understood that he needed to do things being the son of an Alpha King."Good day your majesty, the ingredients are all ready. At what time do you want us to start making dinner?"I watch the door of my bedroom open when I heard the voice of the kitchen help named Riza asking about dinner."Oh, hi there Riza! I am not sure at what time the Prince is coming back but I would come down and do it with you before he comes back.”I thought that maybe he would be back after six, and he promised to join me fo
* Prince Vincent *"How is he?"I look behind me on the Ford Expedition as the vehicle continues on the journey. Alex who's taking the wheels made a slight eye contact with the mirror above him looking at the distressed face of Mrs. Harger. She is worried about her son's condition."I think that he is a lot better now than before your majesty. His body is still weak to handle the process of early shifting into his wolf form. It was unexpected, but I believe my son can survive. He is a strong warrior and he will lead the West."She brushes the strands of hair that almost coats the eyes of the young Alpha. Xander is resting beside her. He was having a high fever after the transition and there seems to be no cure from the Langston Palace. Maleficus could not help him since he is away on a trip to the mountains harvesting herbs. We sent him an emergency note that he should come follow us whenever to the West."I have not thought about him getting the transformation at an early age, even I
* Prince Vincent *"For how long before they could open up the gates!?"My anger is threatening to explode when we arrive near the Alpha mansion and non of the guards move to open up the gates. Alex is talking to one of the guards while I choose to remain in my seat for a while to avoid harming them. Mrs. Harger frowned, looking outside the window and noticing the hesitant reaction of the warriors guarding the gates. I know she is wondering why."They are supposed to be helping us right now? Why are they hesitating? The future Alpha of the pack is sick and we need immediate treatment from the pack doctors."My knuckles became white when I clasped them tightly beside me."I am going to see how they would react to me if I get pissed off!"I heard her gasp before I open the door of the car and close it behind me. My anger will brought fear to the lower rank wolves. I stormed into the front of the huge steel gates looking eye to eye with the warriors of the West who guards it."Open this
* Prince Vincent *When the sun rises above the skies, the wolves of the West rejoice in triumph as the proclamation of the young Alpha Xander begins. Maleficus stood in the center of the hall waiting as the young alpha walked past the audience and into the front of the wolves. His eyes held the dominance of a true Alpha that owns the power to control the Western pack.Xander is not even twelve years old, they said he will turn eleven at the end of this year. His childhood is lost, he will be taking the rule as Alpha which means no more playing games. He is up to stand with the adults and decide the future of his pack."Xander Harger, as the true successor of the Alpha throne I hereby declare you as the new leader of the Western pack. With his majesty Prince Vincent as the witness and in front of the warriors and wolves of the West, please I present to you, Alpha Xander!"His eyes look around the audience as I clap my hands in the air followed by the wolves that are both outside and i
* Prince Vincent *We left at dawn due to the reason that we still have to drive for hours before reaching the docks. Just enough time before sunrise, then we can start sailing back to the Langston lands. I left Alex and a few of the warriors to help Alpha Xander on keeping his warriors trained and strong. This will also keep his enemies away, knowing that the Great Alpha King is protecting him until his pack is strong enough to be left alone."Keep your eyes on the road Calib."Maleficus instructed with a dim shadow on his face. I look at him and took a deep breath in as we drive ahead of the van which is used by my six other warriors. There are only three of us in the Ford Expedition and we both feel the danger lurking somewhere on the long roads."Relax old man, I know what I'm doing. Don't you think so your majesty?"Calib smiled at the rearview mirror and winked at Maleficus while I pretended to not hear a word that he said. The drive would last for almost two hours and we could
* Ashley *"Miss Ashley? You didn't touch your food again your majesty."Riza wrinkles her nose as she took the plates which are still the same as the time she brought them to me an hour before. I couldn't find my appetite since that day Prince Vincent left on a mission. It's been three days now and he hasn't come back. I'm just spending my days doing almost nothing but just thinking about him."I'm sorry Riza, I don't feel like eating."The poor help exhaled and took the rolling tray of food towards the door of the room. "I'm just in the kitchen if you need me, your majesty. Please let me know if you need anything.I nod my head and watch her leave. I honestly don't know what I'm gonna do today. Maybe I need a good read at the huge archive of the palace, the story of the wolves has fascinated me that I've spent many hours reading. That aside from waiting for him to come back.I move away from the window and headed out of the bedroom door."Riza, I'm gonna head to the library for now.
* Prince Vincent *I can feel the ray of the sun already shining through the window despite the curtain that covers it. I slowly opened my eyes and is greeted by the lovely face of my mate laying in my arms. Her face is serene and I could hear her breathing peacefully. A warm feeling crosses my heart when she stirs but didn't wake up.I remember the previous night when we decided to head into our room after spending hours of intimacy inside the library. We were both exhausted but happy to be back in each other's arms at last."Vincent, are you awake?”My thoughts are interrupted with a question coming from my father on the mind link. His voice has sent warning signals through my senses. I knew he would call me sooner or later."I am, father."I made a short reply and then slowly moved away from her. She is still asleep, I don't wanna wake her up or leave without telling her where I'm going. My father can wait."I need you in the office, now."He sounded calm and collected but I could
* Ashley *"Good morning your majesty!"The Palace maids greeted us in the hallway as we head to the private office of the Alpha King. His father has something to discuss with him is what he told me so after we finished having breakfast, he encouraged me to go with him.He replied to the Palace servants with just a brief nod, and his mood changed. I could feel it while he holds my hand and we walk side by side. I wonder what would be the Alpha King's purpose in calling him out this morning. I was hesitant to come but he insisted."We're here."He pauses before knocking on the huge wooden doors that are tightly shut. I could hear movements from the inside and then the door in front of us opens. The palace helped bow his head and left, closing the door behind him and giving us enough privacy."Good morning father."His broad back in a light grey long sleeve shirt paired with a black trousers is facing us, we walk into the cozy office with thick carpet and plain white walls that make the
* 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
* Ashley *After we succeeded in fighting against our enemies, the wolves in the Palace get busy for the preparation of Alpha King Vincent's arrival. Maleficus have also informed me of the upcoming full wolf moon to conceive an heir to the throne. Alpha King Vincent is an only pup and it will be better if we can have more children with us. 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
* 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
