Chapter Twenty-four

Author: Tracy Johnson
last update Last Updated: 2023-04-05 23:24:27

I was sitting at my desk, going through some paperwork when my secretary walked in and handed me a letter. It was an invitation to the Alpha's meeting. I felt a sudden surge of anger and frustration wash over me. I knew what this meant, another tedious meeting filled with empty words and meaningless posturing.

I opened the letter and scanned through it quickly. The meeting was scheduled for tomorrow morning, and all Alphas needed to attend. I sighed deeply, wondering what Ursula had in store for us this time.

As I read on, I made a mental note to ensure Elsa's safety before I left. The last thing I needed was for her to be caught up in Ursula's problems. She had already been through enough, and I didn't want her to be dragged into the political games of the Alpha Council.

After finishing up some work, I went back to my room and tried to sleep, but my mind was restless. I couldn't shake off the feeling of anger and frustration that had taken hold of me. I tossed and turned in my bed, r

    ELSA'S POV.I woke up to the sound of light knocking on my door. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, wondering who it could be. When I opened the door, I saw two maids standing in front of me, with smiles on their faces."Good morning, Your Highness," one of them said. "Luna Nia has ordered that you be brought to the dining room immediately. We are here to assist you."I nodded, still groggy from sleep, and let them in. They immediately set to work, bustling around my room and gathering things. One of them ran a bath for me, filling the tub with warm, fragrant water, while the other laid out clothes for me to wear.The maids were both young, with smooth, unblemished skin and bright eyes. One had long, black hair, while the other had curly, blonde hair that fell in soft ringlets around her face. They moved with practiced ease, their movements smooth and fluid.I felt my cheeks start to heat up in embarrassment. I had never been comfortable with others touching my body, and the thought of bein

    ELSA'S POV.As we were walking, enjoying the beautiful scenery, the sound of an alarm broke through the peacefulness. The guards around us immediately sprang into action, their expressions suddenly turning grave as they quickly gathered us up and led us toward the safety of the Pack House.My heart raced with fear as we rushed inside, the urgency of the situation palpable. I could feel the sweat forming on my palms as I clutched onto the arm of one of the guards, my eyes darting around nervously as we moved through the halls.Suddenly, we heard the sound of a scuffle outside. The guards around us tensed up, drawing their weapons as they prepared for the worst. I could feel the tension in the air as we waited, our breaths held in anticipation.Then, out of nowhere, a group of rogues appeared, their eyes wild and feral as they tore through the guards like they were nothing. My eyes widened in terror as I watched the scene unfold before me, my mind struggling to process what was happenin

    ALPHA ARTHUR'S POV.I sit in the back corner of the room, my gaze wandering around the space as the Alpha drones on about Pack business. The discussion is tedious and never-ending, and my mind keeps drifting off to other things. I try my best to pay attention, but it's difficult when there are so many other things that require my attention.The room is quiet except for the sound of the Alpha's voice. It's a steady, monotone sound that makes my eyes heavy. I wish he would just hurry up and finish, but I know he won't. These meetings are always long and drawn out, filled with discussions that go on for hours.I shift in my seat, trying to get comfortable. My back aches from sitting so long, and I can feel my eyelids drooping. I've been up since before dawn, and the fatigue is starting to catch up with me.The Alpha's voice drones on, and I can feel myself starting to drift off. I try to shake myself awake, but it's no use. The monotony of the discussion has lulled me into a state of dro

    I sat in the room with Nia, waiting for the chaos outside to die down. We could hear the shouts and the sounds of fighting outside, and every sound made me more and more scared. Nia and I were both trembling with fear, unsure of what was going to happen to us. We sat in silence for what felt like hours, just waiting for something to happen.Finally, the sounds of fighting started to die down, and we heard footsteps approaching our door. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I felt like I was going to be sick. The door opened, and my worst fears were realized - rogues were standing there, ready to take us away. But to my surprise, four guards were standing with them.The guards immediately helped us up, and I could feel the relief flooding through me. We were safe, for now. They led us out of the room and down the passageway towards the infirmary, where the healer was already waiting.I was still shaking with fear as we entered the infirmary, but the healer greeted us with a warm smil

    As we drove through the woods, my mind was racing with anger and frustration. How could someone dare attack my pack, my family? The scent of blood wafted through the air, and I could feel my hackles rising as we got closer to the scene of the attack. I couldn't wait to get out of the car and see what had happened to me.As soon as we arrived, I stepped out of the car and took in the gruesome sight before me. The first thing that hit me was the smell of blood. It was so pungent that it made my eyes water and my stomach churned. It was the kind of smell that invaded your senses and refused to let go. It was the smell of death, of loss, of violence. The metallic scent of blood mixed with the earthy aroma of wet soil. It was a sickening combination that made me want to retch.It was as though the very air was thick with the stench of death. I could feel it in my lungs, the cold, sharp tang of it burning down my throat. The smell of blood was overpowering, and it was all I could focus on.

    I couldn't sleep. My wolf was restless, and my mind was racing with thoughts. The events of the night weighed heavily on my mind, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Even though I had been assured that Nia and Elsa were okay, I still couldn't find the peace that I so desperately craved.I sat up in bed, staring at the ceiling as I tried to calm my racing heart. It was quiet in the packhouse, and I could hear the distant howls of the wolves outside. I got up from the bed and walked to the window, looking out at the night. The stars were shining bright, and the moon was full, but the peacefulness of the night was lost on me.My wolf was in unrest, and I could feel its anger and fear. It was as if he was trying to tell me something, but I couldn't quite understand what it was. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on my breathing, but my mind was too distracted.I paced back and forth in my room, trying to shake off the feeling of unease. The events of th

    Arthur's POVI knew I had to take action against the rogues that attacked us. My pack was vulnerable, and I couldn't let it happen again. My wolf was raging inside me, urging me to take revenge. The rogues had to pay for their actions, and I knew I was the one to make them pay.Torturing the rogues was the only way to send a message to the other packs. They needed to know that attacking us would not go unpunished. I had to show them that we were not to be messed with. I thought about it for a while, weighing the pros and cons. But in the end, I knew it was the best option.I walked into my office and called my beta. "We need to interrogate the rogues," I said, my voice cold and firm. "We need to know who sent them and why they attacked us."My beta nodded his head in agreement. "I'll gather the guards and prepare the room for the interrogation."I sat down at my desk and leaned back in my chair. The thought of what I was about to do made me feel sick to my stomach. But I knew it had t

    I entered the dungeon and the smell of the rogues hit me hard. It was a mixture of sweat, fear, and filth that hung in the air. I walked to the first cell where the rogues were held, and I could hear their heavy breathing. They were not expecting me to come so early, and I could feel their fear as soon as I entered."Good morning, gentlemen," I said, a hint of amusement in my voice. "I hope you slept well."The rogues didn't respond, and I could see their jaws clenched tightly. They were trying to look brave, but I knew they were scared."I'm sure you're wondering why I'm here," I continued, "Well, I'm here to have a little chat with you."I took a deep breath and looked at the three rogues in the cell. They were all tall and muscular, and they looked like they could cause a lot of damage. But they were no match for me. I had the power, the authority, and the tools."Let's start with some simple questions," I said, trying to be calm. "Who sent you here? Who is your alpha?"The rogues

    ELSA'S POVBy the time it was evening, I was sickly tired waiting for Arthur to show up. He had boldly asked me not to come, that I should enjoy my day but if I was honest, I swear that I had done anything but enjoy today. Be anxious? sure. Get mad? Definitely. Shiver? Hmm-mm. Get happy a tad? Sure again. I had rocked and rocked and rocked, getting so tired of waiting that evening. I was about to go west my fancy jacket and go have this uncertain conversation with him that is scary with him when the door knob turned and I froze. Arthur came in and to my pleasure and displeasure, he wore a giant smile on his face probably happy that he could finally see me, honestly after my mini-investigation in the semi-afternoon, I was not so sure anymore."Hey, well... Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. A kiss?" He asked, walking towards me in such a hurry, you might mistake me for the breath of life. He looked so good and I knew I could get easily distracted by that but I chose not to. I rose a han

    ELSA'S POVOur wedding night had not been what I thought it was going to be. It was everything I imagined and more and the fact that I did not get any sleep was pleasing instead of stressful. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I could not find Arthur, I sat up, rubbing my eyes from the pleasing exhaustion at the same time. I looked around and if I was being honest just as I felt different, in a good way, the room looked different too. So different and good too. I flashed a smile to myself as I thought that of course it would look different because I was not in my room, I was in Arthur's room or if I was being accurate, I would say my room. I got up from the bed and walked swiftly to the mirror, naked. I looked at myself in the mirror and not only did I feel different, I looked different. There were hickeys on my neck and ear, it was certainly an interesting look. I wore the robe I found on Arthur's side of the bed, which was made and a white card that had little hearts on it. I

    ELSA'S POVThe big wedding was in motion. I mean the planning was in motion but it was the same thing. Most people were so surprised when Arthur gave the announcement that day. Shocked to the brim and beyond while some smiled and nodded their approval. The rest just glared at me as though they would have loved to stab me with a knife if it was allowed. Shreds. And I did not even blame them, I was still surprised myself. I was so excited just as I was anxious. I still had a baby growing in me and I did not know the father and I was freaking out. I could scratch my own eyes out. Just as the wedding planning was in set, so was my running away planning. I needed to flee with my head still intact."What are doing in here staring at the wall?" I turned and saw Nia standing at the door with an amused look on her face. I flashed her a smile and shook my head slowly, thinking of what to say. "Arthur has been smiling since yesterday, I am so surprised that his jaw is not been hurting yet." She

    ELSA'S POVI had no idea that there was a cabin back here. When Emily directed me here it was like she had been blabbing. I had walked this whole place and this was the first time I was seeing this place. I guess the structure of the house was weird. I stood in front of the 'invisible' cabin and searched for the most important words at that moment. I knew the words I wanted to say were that I loved him so much, that l was willing to put away the paralysis of fear that held me down, and that I wanted to be his wife. That I was going to be his wife. That was the most important one. I took three bold and quiet steps up the small stair that had its wood painted red. Nice.My stomach rumbled in fear and my heart thudded against my chest. I raised my hands to knock and surprisingly on the first attempt it landed on the door with a very faint thud, produ

    NIA'S POV"I wanted it to be a surprise for you. But I just needed something to give me an edge and make you listen to me. I love you and if staying here will make you believe it then I'm staying here and I'm not leaving. But that depends on what you think of it all. I need to be sure that you are comfortable with it. I don't want to shove anything down your throat and force you to want this just because I do. Do you understand?" He asked and I nodded. A big smile on my face."Woah. I love how you put things and I love that you are doing this for me. You have no idea how much it means to me, Silas. I have never been in love and most importantly I have never had someone love me to the extent of wanting to make a big change as big as what you just announced to make me happy. And I love you too. So much." I said and he closed his eyes for a moment, s

    NIA'S POVThere he was. Silas, sat at the edge of the large rock everyone seemed to like. I smiled lightly at the cliche of happy things. I had searched everywhere for him, now that I think about it, why did I not search for him here before going to their tent area? Silly of me.I walked further into the space and I saw a striking blonde woman, who if I was being honest, I had nothing on. Why was Silas talking to this woman out here in the love garden? And why was I suddenly comparing this woman whom I did not know to myself? Insecurities were never a friend. Silas turned to look at them and immediately stood up, putting a clever distance between the both of them as if they were close. They were not. So why was he tripping?"Hey! Um... Hi." He said, grasping for words to say. I gave him a tight-lipped smile and nodded to tell him that I had heard the first greeting and he did not need to repeat it."Hi, if you have a company that would stay long then maybe I should come back, I was th

    URSULA'S POV"Woah, mum. You are not selling my sister and definitely not the same man you sold me off to. I will not let that happen. If you need the money do bad and Dad can't control his silly problem and you love him so much, why don't you just go get married to Arthur yourself." I said they both gasped. Okay even though I was angry at that moment I had to admit it was nice to actually get a reaction from my father. He was such a doll sometimes. But apparently, he was not when he was being irresponsible with his money, ordering the servants and selling off his children."You dashed everything I once wanted for myself a few years ago and I am not going to let you do that to Sasha too. You do not even ask us what we want, or what we need. You just know that you have to get your money up and running. Did you ask her what she wanted?" I asked and my mother gestured behind me."She's right behind you and you can use your ears to hear that she was okay with it." I turned around and saw

    URSULA'S POVWe all just sat there, no words being said. I guess maybe we were all basking in the memory we had spent in the house. I could not just let the house sell, it was unacceptable, that was where I had my first steps, and said my first words. I opened my mouth, then closed it again. Convinced that even if words were going to come out it was going to be all memories and not help anybody in the current situation we were in. A question finally came out."Um... So how did this happen and why was I not informed sooner?" I finally asked, tired. My family had no perks, only disadvantages. It was maddening and annoying."Well, we thought we could fix it on our own and still think we can fix it, we just need time and six days is no time." My mother said, looking over her shoulders at my father who still had his back on the chair. I wondered how he was still calm enough after all this bad news, it was his farm and he had a lot of land to use. I mean I would not go hungry, cannot. I was

    URSULA'S POVThe smile that was on my face when I saw that Nia and Gloria were talking was very big. I wore a big smile on my face because that was enough proof to know that the story I had given her had worked. I wanted this meeting to have a very successful outcome and I knew that could not happen if the two key people involved could not deal with each other, it would not be a success. It would be a big disaster and I did not want that.Now that that seemed settled, I looked around, my eyes searching for Andrew. It was a dreaded day for Arthur, for everyone, but I bet he was with him. The event had already begun and the both of them were still not seen so I could bet that some pep talks were being carried out. There were a lot of faces here, a lot of young faces eager to be the lycan king's wife if only they knew that it was no fairytale but rather it was a nightmare I would bet my ass that they would not be here right now with big smiles on their faces.
