* 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
* Ashley *It's been almost a year since I came back to the place where I can call home, my place in the city together with the humans. Bright lights, busy streets, fancy restaurants, fast cars and more people. Those are the things that I consider normal in my life, or in a life of an ordinary person living in the city. It's nothing compared to the huge and archaic palace where the wolves live. Where they follow the rules of one powerful being called the Alpha King.As I stood on the balcony of my room, I took a deep calming breath from the cool air at the top floor of Hotel Blanca, which stood as one of the tallest hotel in the city. A place I can call mine, a place that is love by the people and as well as my mother who have worked hard to build it.I try to focus on my work everyday but the image of someone still lingers in my mind, someone who I am trying hard no
* Prince Vincent *"Get out!"As the the muscles of my jaw flex and the the fire in my eyes burn the wench who stood in front of me wearing nothing but a skimpy pair of bikini, she drop on her knees and sob. Unable to meet my gaze as she twitches her shoulders and open her mouth to speak without looking at me."I'm so sorry you're majesty please forgive me, I will never come to see you again. I was only convinced by my father to give you comfort since you.."She's unable to finish her sentence when a growl erupted from my throat. "I don't need a she wolf to warm my bed or for whatever purpose! If I wanted a woman, it will not be you. Now go! Get out of my room before I forgot that your father has serve the palace as a good warrior for many years!"I know her being the daughter of one of the Royal pack warriors in the palace. The River family, who's two sons and the father working
* Prince Vincent *We have track the enemy for almost twenty four hours now, however we still couldn't find a clue on where he is heading until almost sun down beside the road where we stop for gas. As soon as I step out of the car, the scent of a wolf mixed with the smell of fuel roughly thrust inside my nostrils. It seemed that the twenty four seven convenience store beside it looks very silent but the smell couldn't hide the wolves who shifted and was here about five to six hours before.I close the passenger's door of the car slowly and gave a sign for Alex and Caleb to stay alert.I close my eyes and sniff the air focusing on the scent which I know belongs to the white wolf. He is not here anymore, I can feel the presence he left behind in this place but he might have taken a ride and headed to the main road in order to get away from this place. Taking the highway whi
* Ashley *I feel the weariness not from driving far, but from emotionally working on to cheer up my mom all day. Being with her and visiting my father's grave does not really end up as a bright and favorable day. When I came back at the Hotel, I've convinced my mom that I am alright. Told her that what happen this morning is not something that she should be worried about for she keeps talking about it."Good evening Miss Snipes!"Mrs. Anderson, my Hotel manager greeted me as soon as I walk in and saw her talking to our hotel’s receptionists. I feel exhausted and wanted to retire for the night so I just wave at them and headed towards the elevator."Just a moment Ash!"She followed me in front of the elevator and stand up beside me waiting for the doors to open. "Is there something urgent that you wish to discuss Mrs. Anderso
* Prince Vincent *It is already late in the evening when we reach the center of the City. A place where Hotel Blanca is located, her home. As I did not want to cause any commotion or attract the attention of her hotel employees, I told my friends to take the lower price and regular bedrooms. Unlike before, that we had the upper VIP floors right now we settled for a more simple and common space to stay."Are you sure about this your majesty?"Alex curve his mouth in a dry smile while opening the door of a family room where the three of us is staying together."Yes! Now if you have any problem with this, go ahead and take the VIP room upstairs. But if the enemy notices you then you may have to deal with him alone."His eyes widens and look at me, surprised by my sudden outburts."Oh! I apologize your majesty, I didn't mean to be rude with your choice tonight however.."
* Prince Vincent *"Vincent!?"She utters my name followed by her sudden movement, standing from the chair where her two companions follows her gaze in surprise. The man who's back is facing me stiffened and he slowly moves to turn his shoulder towards me and then I felt his gaze ran all over me.My eyes which is connected to Ashley turn away from her and check on the man. His eyes are dark and his face became even darker when our eyes locked. I couldn't be mistaken, he is the enemy who we've been looking for in the past thirty six hours now! So he is here!"What are you doing here Prince Vincent?"Ashley spoke again making her voice break the eye contact I had with the enemy. I cleared my throat, ignoring the shock exchange of glances between Caleb and Alex. I am sure they have notice the man too."Oh! Hi there Ash."I stood up fro
*Ashley *I pressed the elevator with my trembling hands while holding Mrs. Anderson's arm on the other. We need to stay calm to not alert the other people in the hotel, however the commotion in the restaurant is already causing more attention as I can remember. I look behind me and saw Donald and his companion catching into us. Their eyes blazing with fire, i don't understand how Donald would act like this towards me. It doesn't feel like he is the same Donald I knew, it seems like another person is inside of him."Let's run and call the police Ash!"Mrs. Anderson is shaking and her voice sounded like she is going to faint at any moment."Stay calm Mrs. Anderson, the police are on their way. Now let us go upstairs and lock ourselves until they come."The elevator doors opened and I grab her inside while pressing the door to close immediately before Donald and his companion catch
* 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.

*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
