Meeting the Alpha

A sudden wind threw him and his back hit a tree which had a very rough bark as she growled; her eyes showing speckles of gold shone directly into his eyes, through the mask and he fell roughly to the ground.

Being shocked was an understatement, he was speechless. How could a mere girl hit him this way? He growled as his wolf stood up slowly.

Freedma at the other side of the forest could sense that the Prince was angry; with a twist of his fingers, the mask on Prince Lucius face was removed immediately.

The wolf didn't even bother at all as his eyes changed to a red one, he was unaware that he had become an Alpha right in the forest!

Prince Faricenda shook involuntarily, the punishments she had endured in that God forsaking upper room, the dungeon's punishment was taking a dangerous turn on her body.

She staggered, her whole body screamed in pain as she shook on her feet but she could clearly see the wolf's red eyes; he is an Alpha!

The Alpha wolf growled fiercely at her, walking towards her slowly. Princess Faricenda was becoming very weak, her eyes grew cold as it kept opening and closing on its own.

The wolf charged towards her, maybe this was the end of her life even after escaping from the dungeon. Which is better, escaping from the dungeon or dieing by the hands of a strange and unknown Alpha?

She was tired, in pain and agony. Her eyes finally closed when she caught the last glance of the Alpha wolf almost landing on her, she lost her consciousness.

IN THE ALPHAEUS PACK ✓

The Pack doctor entered into one of the visitor's rooms with a big sack bag hanging over his shoulder. "What exactly is wrong with her?" Prince Lucius asked,

The pack doctor didn't reply immediately as he looked at the wounds on her body. "She's in terrible danger." He sighed. "What do you mean?" Luna Howell asked,

The physician walked to and fro the bed where Princess Faricenda was laid. "There are silver linings in all parts of her body without excluding a part." He said,

Prince Lucius hissed, who the hell could infuse silver into her body? "But it is not supposed to react in her body right?" Luna Howell asked, looking at her son.

Prince Lucius quickly nodded, "She is not a werewolf." He glanced at her, "Silver doesn't react much in a normal human's body just like a gun bullet but she is very wounded." The pack doctor said,

Luna Howell went to sit beside the unconscious Faricenda. "Each dot of her body represents a silver in that particular part of her body." Azalea said.

Luna Howell removed her hand from inside the duvet and gasped, she could see six dots on just her left hand. Who could be so cruel to do this to a young girl?

She placed her hand back, "How did so many silver get shot into her body?" The Luna asked,

"It wasn't shot, it was diffused into her body." The pack doctor replied, countering what she said.

Prince Lucius ruffled his hair, "There is something called the upper bars, the bars of silver. If I could guess right, she held the bars of silver for a very long time which made tiny silvers disengaged into her body." The doctor explained.

They all sighed, "How do we remove it, Azalea?" Prince Lucius asked, "It can't be removed, she will die with so much cutting on her body accompanied with the pain silver causes in a werewolf." Azalea chuckled.

"But she is not a werewolf!" The Prince argued, "I don't believe in that, my Prince." Azalea replied. "What do we do to save her?" The Luna asked.

Azalea sighed and opened his sack bag. "This is an ointment to apply on the dots, it will only make the dots disappear. These are tablets that will make more than half of the silver melt out of her body." He gave it to the Luna.

"But there is something with all the silver in her body, I'm afraid that it can't melt all at once." He said, "And why is that?" Prince Lucius asked.

He went over to her again and showed them a lump at the back of her right ear. "Some of the silver has entered into her vital organs and will take a long time to melt." He said.

Prince Lucius was getting tired of the boring talk, he should give the medicine and leave, "When will she wake up?" He needed to ask her some questions.

Azalea sighed softly, "I don't know, whenever she will wake up depends on her fate and how strong she is." He replied.

No one uttered any word, the physician carried his sack bag and exited the room. "Where did you say you saw her again?" Luna Howell asked.

Prince Lucius almost rolled his eyes, she had asked this same question over eight times today, "In the forest mother." He replied.

She looked at the dots on her hands again. "Did you see or find anything weird before she went unconscious?" She asked, without looking at him.

He stood up slowly. "There were some armed guards chasing after her and she beat them all by taking them round in a circlic direction in the forest." He explained.

She looked at him. "Did you see what type of uniform they were putting on?" She asked. "It looked somehow like a grey color." He said.

She gasped and stood up immediately. "The girl cannot stay here!" She said and he looked at her. "Why? I thought you wanted for her to heal at all cost?" He asked.

She shook her head negatively, pacing round the room. "That is not possible anymore, those are the Donner's pack! We are sworn enemies." She said,

He scoffed and stuck his hands into his pocket. "And how does that concern us? What if she is not their Alpha's daughter, maybe some commoner?" He asked.

She shook her head again and opened the duvet, "Mother!!" He shrieked facing the other side so as not to see Faricenda's open laps and shoulders.

She pulled him closer to the bed. "Did you see that??" She pointed and he stepped back, one reason breathing in relief it was only her upper part opened.

Just on her right shoulder was a wide mark that looked like a wolf with a horn which was a symbol of the Donner's pack, she is a Royal!

"Can you see that? Can you? If she stays a little longer here and her pack's Alpha finds out, it might lead to war." The Luna said.

The Prince scoffed, "But her health is still in danger and I'm sure she can't go back to her pack since the guards were after her, where would she go?" He asked.

That was the reason Luna Howell was restless, she was still so young to be a rogue, "Let's go meet your father, maybe he will have a solution to this." She concluded.

The Alpha stood up abruptly, "What??!" He thundered after listening to his Luna's explanation. "There is absolutely nothing to talk about, she has to go back!" He said.

Prince Lucius scoffed, looking at his parents unbelievably, "Just a young girl cannot cause war between two distant packs because of a common dispute." He said.

Luna Howell went closer to her son, "You can't understand, Lucius. She is a danger to our pack!" She tried to coax him but he wasn't getting any of it.

He shook his head. "That girl is dying and you want to send her away? Fine! Tell me the dispute between our pack and theirs, what exactly would cause the war?" He asked.

The Alpha and his Luna looked at themselves and sighed, "Son, you won't understand." King Goan patted his shoulder but he shoved his hands away.

He looked at both of them. "If none of you will state a solid reason then, she is staying!" He commanded in a chilling voice.

The guards shuddered inwardly but their faces didn't describe their fear. Luna Howell sank into her queen sized chair, "I knew he wouldn't listen, he is already attached to the girl." She muttered.

King Goan also sat on his throne. What a son he has! So stubborn and cold, he will definitely be a strong Alpha for the pack but he sincerely hoped he is not making a mistake by trying to make the girl stay in the Alphaeus pack.

Prince Lucius entered his room in a rush, his eyes colder than before, "Why did you make me an Alpha without my permission?" He growled angrily.

Freedma shuddered, he was the one to be blamed but he was only following orders from his Alpha. "I'm sorry, my prince but…I was just following orders." He answered.

Prince Lucius scoffed. "Whose orders were you supposed to follow, mine or my father's?" He thundered and Freedma just hung his head low, he was shivering inside and didn't know what else to say.

The Prince scoffed angrily, he has to see his parents about this, "You are demoted to an ordinary guard from now on, I don't want to see you anywhere around my room or wherever I go." He commanded.

Freedma dropped on his knees, begging and sobbing. "My prince, I can only serve you. Forgive me but I can't do without staying by your side." He begged.

Prince Lucius removed his hands from his legs and pushed him out of the way. "I don't want to see you unless I call for you." He ordered and left the room - becoming an Alpha without his permission? How was it even possible his eyes became red without an Alpha's coronation?

Freedma bit his lips and stood up, watching as the Prince left the room. I will not leave your side because of my obedience to the Alpha, I have sworn to serve you! He promised and also left the room.
