* Prince Vincent *
It was a few minutes after Maleficus left me in my room that I decide to stay out in the balcony to fill my lungs with some fresh air and a glass of vodka in my hand. Watching the clear night sky did not give me a restful evening for I know somewhere my father and the warrior wolves of the Royal Pack is fighting the rogues.
I exhaled deeply and gulp down all the distilled liqour inside my goblet. The heat of the liquor just give enough warmth to make my feelings temporarily disappear. If Maleficus did not warn me to follow my father's orders I might have already left the palace by now.
Standing in the balcony with just my sweat pants on, I place the empty goblet above the flat steel railings before letting my gaze run around the sorroundings in
*Ashley *I felt a little light headed watching him stared back at me from his seat. The lights dancing in his brown eyes and when my gaze move down to his red lips which is a little bit moist from the wine, I felt the heat from my throat traveled down to the pit of my stomach.I don't know how it happened but then all of a sudden I became aware of his face being closer to mine, when a few seconds ago he was a few feet apart from me."You look pretty even when your drunk."His comment in a deep voice is followed by a low chuckle. "No, I am not drunk. I can still feel my face and my hands."I giggled and put my hands towards his chest in a helpless attempt to push him away, I can smell his breath mixed with the wine and it's making me feel dizzy. But it's like pushing away the thick walls of the palace. He didn't budge."Why
* Prince Vincent *Being disturbed by the commotion inside the palace is a good thing, before I could do something to the girl that I might regret. Now I can feel my father's presence in the air, he's here! The warriors and the Alpha King must have finished fighting the rogues.My body froze for a few seconds before I finally decided to put on something decent to wear and see what's going on. The fight in town must have been over and the warrior wolves are home. I took a clean grey shirt and put it on top of my dark jeans.But before I open the door of my room to get out, my eyes gaze back towards the bed once more. Looking at the sleeping figure of a girl that made my heart flutter for the first time in my life. I took a deep breath in and gritted my teeth, this is not the time to feel a stupid crush over some random human girl. However, deep inside of me a voice is telling she's no ordinary girl. My own father wants he
* Ashley *I wake up from the blinding lights of the sun coming from the window with the curtains drawn out on the sides. My right arm promptly covered my eyes as I sat up from the huge bed. The bed of Prince Vincent."Good morning Ash! I'm glad you're awake, Prince Vincent is expecting you for breakfast at the small dining room down the hall from the maid's quarters."I removed my hand from covering my eyes and look at the person who is talking. It is Clarita taking the glasses from the glass table and walking back and forth inside the room."Oh! Good morning Clarita."I cleared my throat, embarrassed of my state. The clothes I am wearing is the same as the one I have on yesterday before I decided to sneak out of the Palace. Which unfortunately did not happen because the Prince caught me.I tried to recall what happened after that, and groaned when I r
* Prince Vincent *I only have a slight idea on why I have to be present in the meeting with Ashley's parents. Even with my father not telling every detail about it. Yes, I get that we have to protect the humans against the rogues terrorizing the town but the war is over. My own father get hurt in helping them plus we have warriors with injuries in the Palace, now I'm convinced that the meeting is for something which is more important than the issue with the rogues.Me and my two friends is going to be involved on the meeting being called out by my father. Alex have already recovered from his injuries a week ago and Caleb is also present, with Maleficus, Beta Derek, Ashley, my father and me along with the presence of the girl that my father is claiming as his assistant. I would have said something to her if not for the eyes of my father who's watching my every move beside Ashley on the t
* Ashley *"For now the rogues has been defeated, however one of the said leaders got away. For the insurance of everyone's safety I have assigned a warrior to track down this single rogue and I am hopeful that soon we will apprehend him."As I am listening to the voice of Alpha King Jack, I could not help but wonder why they have to touch the issue of his son's birthday a while ago, his birthday which is going to happen in three months. They say he will be eighteen and will soon find his mate. A common condition that happens to a wolf their age.But that information made my heart beat rapidly inside my chest and when my gaze lock with Prince Vincent who is sitting across the table from me it just sent my soul in a swirling waves of indescribable feelings. I couldn't read the look under his dark and thick lashes towards me however I could feel the heat that ignites from that gaze."Maleficus, our gre
* Prince Vincent *The night is calm and peaceful but my mind have so many things going on and filled with so many questions, does my father have to control everything even the affairs of my heart? I know this is not just about political plot. Why did he want me to pave a way for the wolves and humans to unite. He is not creating this for just a show, this is something deeper than they think.When I say they, I was referring to the Snipes family, their sixteen year old daughter and how they are looking desperate to keep their town safe. Yet I could not blame them for taking this opportunity, for they are facing a supernatural enemy. It's far from human abilities. We are the only beings who could help them against the rogues."Why don't you retire back in your chambers your majesty? Everybody have already left."I look around and did not bother to move a leg, there is only me and Maleficus that is dri
* Ashley *It was almost sundown when I'm back in the house from roaming around few of the malls in town. I also spent some of my time hanging out with my mom's people at the restaurant. Pretending that nothing is wrong with me, yet deep inside I know that my life is never the same after we all agree to the proposal of the great Alpha King in order to keep the peace in our town.To be bethrothed to Prince Vincent, the son of Alpha King Jack would be a previlidge to other girls but not for me. I wanted to fall in love with a normal being, even though the Prince is considered as the hottest boy in town or the most handsome man that I have ever laid my eyes on.The plan is just to make the bad wolves go away because of the powerful ally we have with the Alpha King, as me being officially his son's fiancee when I turned eighteen. It is only for a show, it is not a real engagement. But to my father it is real, he wanted me to
* Prince Vincent *While driving the black dodge on the wide empty road, my mind is filled with how Ashley looked when we realized her father is almost an hour late for our meeting. We have discussed it yesterday, over the phone that I will be here to talk to him today.She looked so young and yet her family is eager to give her hand to me, which made me wonder if the purpose is to really just keep the town safe. Despite that, I also think that two years from now she won't be that young anymore and that taking her as my mate would be alright. The plan is to make her my fiancee officially on her eighteenth birthday but for now we have to stick to the idea on how to resolve the issue with our long time enemies, the rogues.I know the Snipes owned a vast land near the Southern boarder and it is close to the territory of the pack of wolves from the South. It should be a safer place knowing that the Alpha of the South is alli
* Prince Vincent *The night is suppose to be loud and lively since a celebration is going on, the night my father rejoice for the victory of my fight against the enemy from the West region however only few has known that I almost lost my life today. If not for the woman who is brave enough to save me, I would not have withstand the poison. My enemy who is in one of the jails inside the Langston palace might thought that he could kill me but he was completely wrong. I have survived and now I owe my life to my very own mate."Where is she?"I look around the packed hall and check if she is already somewhere and just hidden by a bunch of people, but I cannot sense her yet with this much wolves around.“Relax your majesty, she will be here any minute now."Alex murmured beside me, he is enjoying the party as much as Calib does a
* Ashley *I look at Maleficus wondering if the words he just told me is right. What on earth is happening? And why am I suppose to do something which I really think is strange and unsuitable for a woman like me. Is it suppose to help remedy the Prince if he drink my blood? Would it really purify the poison out of his system?"Now give me your hand Ash, it should be easy letting him suck on the nerves at your wrist, don't be afraid Ash. I 'm here, I'll make sure that everything will be just right. I've seen you and the Prince together in the future, helping him right now is just the first step."My eyes move away from him to look at Prince Vincent's face lying on a pillow, I could hear a faint sound coming from his mouth. It's like he is dreaming of something, and then his brows twisted and his mouth quiver like he is in pain. I feel my heart suddenly bleed for him, to his body enduring an unspeakable i
* Prince Vincent *"Let us take him to his chambers immediately!"I heard the voice coming from the old wizard as soon as our car halted on the parking of the Langston Palace. I know that he will come all the way as soon as he heard through the mind link that I am injured. I have confidence that Maleficus can heal me if he learns about the poison in my body and at this moment he already knew."Right away wizard Maleficus!"Alex answers while he takes most of my weight over his shoulder and help me out of the car."No need to grab me like a child, I can take care of myself!"To be seen helpless in the eyes of my warriors and not to mention the scent of my father getting near, made me use my remaining strength in trying to keep myself stood still and avoid the help of my friend."Welcome home my son! I know you will come victorious just like the rest of your trials! T
* Prince Vincent *"This day is one of the best in my entire life! Today I get to fight with an heir to the throne! I get to fight with the next Alpha King!"His voice echoes in every direction, the voice of a dominant wolf. As my body transformation is finally obtained I notice how his coat bristles and his ears begin to stood more erect. The words he cried out inflicting a noisy mess from my warriors behind me."Oh! Let me tell everyone that, no one should interfere in this battle! This is just between me and the Prince!"He reminded everyone in a loud roaring voice, to let the wolves behind me cease their noise. I look at my warriors once more. "Stay back! Whatever happens, do not stop me from this fight!"I look at Alex and knew that he is just waiting for my command and he can't do anything without it. He is ready for the figh
* Prince Vincent *The weather has gotten less cold when we exit the boarder of the North. I have more warriors with me yet I couldn't help but feel a little worry after Alpha Zero informed me with the nature of my enemy. The descendant of a white wolf blood, I thought it was only my uncle. Yet someone like him exists too.My father did not give me enough details to put my strength on a test and perhaps to prove that I am worthy to his throne."I think this is where we leave the vehicles your majesty."Alex stop the car as we notice Loki's vehicle in the front which halted. "My Prince, we can start our journey on foot from here."Loki declares in the mind link."Alright then, we are ready to go down."I push the door beside me open and get ou
*Prince Vincent*The trip to the North took almost all day since we have to stop for food and gas, plus we have a pregnant woman on line. My aunt requests for breaks when she needs to use a restroom and all of us who's on a convoy would halt and wait until she finishes before we are able to go on with the trip again.As the weather gets colder and the surroundings change, I know that we are fast approaching the North. The familiar brick houses beside the road and then the valley made of snow, the ground looks like a huge bed of puffy white cotton being spread out. The icy atmosphere is would freeze anyone who's not accustomed to the usual weather in the North."Ahh, we're finally here!"Alex stretch out his body at the back seat of the car while Caleb smiles on the steering wheel beside me."Remem
* Prince Vincent *"You've won technically but I would have beat your ass if not for your aunt."Alpha Zero's words followed his movements as he open the door of my bedroom hastily, the morning came and I am busy doing the usual exercise in my bedroom balcony. My luggage and some of the things that I need to take for the journey is all set and ready but I haven't talk to Ashley yet, the one thing that's more than necessary before I left."Good morning to you too!"I put down the heavy weights I was lifting before I took a deep breath in and out then look at him up and down. His aura is the same, I could almost tell that he possesses the same amount of strength and power like my own father, the Alpha King. Somehow I felt relieved that he was not injured from the spar."Uncle, I have to tell you that a rematch on that fight is going to happen as soon as I finish the task that my father has given
* Prince Vincent *As I begin to shift into my big wolf form, I am fully aware of how Alpha Zero is changing as well. He will not hold back even if I am the son of an Alpha King and even for the fact that we are family, my father gave him permission to test me beyond my limit all the more reason why I have to use all my strength in this match. And we all know that Alpha Zero is a very strong Alpha, leading the warriors of the North and defeating all his enemies alone without the help of my father despite the alliance.Alpha Zero is the last descendant from the white wolves of the North, an ancient warrior pack who is blessed with their great strength and cold heart when facing their enemies in battle. What about to happen is not a usual spar that occurs everyday in between the wolf warriors of the royal pack, this is one of my father's test for me."Don't hold back Vincent! Alpha Zero will never hesitate to attack you an
* Prince Vincent *The Alpha of the West have not showed up on the celebration at the Palace. Even the day after that, he didn't appear despite my father's request for his presence. I have not bother myself with the matter since it is my father who knows the whereabouts of the allied forces to his throne, however I am inflicted by it.Even if my mind is fully occupied by the upcoming wedding of Ashley and me.We talked and agreed on my terms, but I am not certain if it would work for the both of us. She's incomprehensible and she tries to resist being with me."Vincent!"The call coming from my father strike inside my head and because my mind is preoccupied, he had said my name twice before I answer."Yes father?"My lack of interest with the course of his call shows in
