EMAL'S POVI have never enjoyed a day like I'm enjoying this day. Thanks to Little Lilly. She took me to the cottage and cleaned my wounds, dressing them up neatly. I am a bit scared of the outcome of our friendship, but I want to give it a try like she said.After cleaning my wounds, I ask her why she wears a hoodie every time despite that the weather isn't so cold. She smiles at me and says that it's just a way of her keeping a low profile when she's out of her home."Isn't it bad that we're skipping school?" I ask, nervous of what might happen. This day would be my first day skipping school for a complete day, but somehow, I like it. "Hey dude, we've got to clean this place since it's going to be our little hideout" Lilly pours water into a bowl with a piece of old and tattered fabric in her hand. It's like she has this all planned out before.'Who is she?" I begin to wonder but dismiss the thought of her being someone to spy on me. For once, I feel the need to have someone to talk
ALPHA MARCUS' POVThe day has been so stressful for me. Being an Alpha King is not about authority alone. It comes with great responsibility. Taking care of the pack is one thing, and observing the welfare of the people of Alacia is another thing. I take off my royal regalia, changing into my nighties. The nighties is not just any nighties for a common being, but made of quality materials that's meant for only the royals. I'm about to retire for the night, but I just can't. Not yet. A lot of things are going through my mind and making me worried. I close my eyes, sending a message to my Beta, my best buddy and confidant. "What?" his voice replies like a roar, a muffled moan. I know it's time for him to rest, but I just need him beside me. We need to talk about the problems at hand."You're screwing a pussy?" I want to ask, but I change my mind. His voice yells me all about it, but it would be embarrassing to him. He's one sex freak who won't want to quit his pleasure session just for
EMAL'S POV"Your Highness," a guard bows his head a little upon seeing me enter the Castle gates. I smile at him as I walk past him, heading for the palace. The palace was so silent that the drop of a pin could be heard until I enter the royal block. Here, my older siblings sit together, joking and gisting one another so heartily with the exemption of Matilda. She doesn't get along quite well with them as she despises hearing their talks. They mostly don't discuss anything meaningful when they are together, all they know is to gist one another about the several pussies they've tasted and the figure of the girls they want to have or those who throw themselves at them."Do you need anything?" the guard following behind me asks again as he sees me standing on the same spot. I manage to brew a smile at him, telling him it's alright."Oh no, don't worry about me. you can go ahead."I walk closer to the castle and my brothers' attention shifts to me. "Ohhhh, you finally deemed it back to re
EMAL'S POVThe sound of door opening startles me and I jolt up from my laying position quickly. Hold and behold, it is the Alpha King, my father. I never expect him to be in my room at such late night but I didn't say a word or show any expression. I dare not! Slowly, I try standing up despite the pain my knees. "Welcome father, I greet him politely, looking down at the floor to avoid eye contact with him. He looks at me for a while before telling me to sit and I obey. Well, it's not like I have the strength to stand for long anyway.With his hands behind him, he walks closer to me. I could notice the fact that he's trying to pick up nice words to prevent me from getting angry, but I can see through him so well. He doesn't have to pretend like he's a good father of some sort. "How are you doing?" He stretches his hand to my face, rubbing my bruises with his thumb gently."Can you just say whatever you have to say and leave? How the hell do you want to know how I'm doing?" My subconsc
ALPHA MARCUS POVFinally, Emal returns to the castle and I feel a huge form of relief like a heavy load was just lifted off my chest. It's not easy seeing him go through hard times, but I have to act like I don't care so as not to indulge him. For some reason, I don't want to give up on him and I don't think I can even if I want to. It's too late to change the crowned heir, else my pack would seem like a joke to every other being in the kingdom. It's time to have some fun time with the Luna. I make my way to her room at a fast pace and soon, I am standing behind her. She is undressing for the night. It seems like she has also been busy as she always claims. I wonder every time what keeps her busy because most of the pack and kingdom duties are carried out by I and Aldrien.She drops her neck chain on the silver made wardrobe in front of the standing mirror, looking closely at her physique. "Do you like what you see?" She speaks up after staring at me for a while from the mirror."How
EMAL'S POVThe voices of my father and Blake rings consecutively in my ear and I can't contain my pain any longer. I need to do away with the welled-up emotion in me. Else, I might die of anger suffocation. I thought of leaving the castle again to calm myself, but it would attract the attention of the guards. I'm very sure father would have given them a strict instruction after what happened the previous day. My thought drops on Matilda and I can't help but head for her room. I need someone to soothe and calm me before I can sleep. The boiling emotion in me is making me feel full and frustrated. Upon reaching her room, her maid tells me that she was in the bath. I guess it's a wrong timing on my part. I should have thought of that before heading over. Giving my legs the chance to fulfill their purpose, I find myself out of her castle at last, though without any specific direction or place in mind. All I need is some calmness.I continue my walk through the empty field across the cast
ALPHA MARCUS POVImmediately I wake up from my bed, I answer the guard and he enters as soon as I order him to. “What do you want?” I ask.“Your highness, I’m here to ask you about the guest we received last night” he replies, referring to the members of the Arctic Howlers who slept in my pack the previous day and it clicks. The representatives of the Arctic Howlers that I put on hold due to the shock I received from the report and the severity of the report they brought was what he was referring to. The conclusion I am to have with them has been put on hold for too long and sooner or later, I will have to attend to them. “It’s alright, you can go. I will go attend to them as soon as I’m done with my morning duties.” I utter and he leaves, bowing respectively. I call for my Beta in order to discuss what we are going to do next and discuss what our response to our guests would be.“Let’s meet at the throne hall” I communicated with Aldrien through our mind-link and he acknowledges my
EMAL’S POVThe first thing Lilly asks me is what happened to me. Minutes passes, I remain locked in the hug with her. The closeness with her makes me feel different, it is just as consoling as the affection of my sister. Patting my back, she pushes me back away from her gently, sitting me down on a close by chair.“What happened?” she asks again.I narrate everything that I encountered to her and she sighs after I end my story.“That’s so deep. What do you intend doing now?” “Sincerely, I have absolutely no idea about what I’m supposed to do. Right now, I can’t bring myself to think of learning the facts as it is. I don't think I'm ready, Lilly" My voice breaks while I speak."Wait...take it easy. Did you say she mentioned you having another mother asides her?" Lilly asks.“Not exactly! All I heard her say was that she can never be my mother and my face remind her of that woman.” I answer her question. “That’s not enough reason to be paranoid. You should try sorting things out by as
