" Uhm well my King " he blushes and rubs the back of his head " I presume this has something to do with that mate of yours hmm " " yes my King " " has she accepted you? " " well, I guess I can say yes, or more so her wolf has but long story short she does not want to leave her pack here and move to the Royal City " " and you don't want to return to the City without her I take " he bows " yes my King that is correct, please don't see me as an abandoner but if I could just have some time so she could get to know and trust me then perhaps I could convince her to come with me to the City "
" It really would be a shame to lose such an exemplary Royal Guard Grey but to me a mate bond is very important and I don't see it as you abandoning us, besides this works out just fine in regards to something I have planned for the packs, we will talk about it further tomorrow okay? be at the packhouse for mmm let's say 09:30 AM and we'd do a briefing and tell the others to be here as well "
" Yes my King, please have a pleasant night and sleep well " he heads back to the lift and leaves, I push the bedroom open and become very annoyed instantly " what are you doing here? " she sits up quickly and stares at me wide eyed as though she's a deer in headlights and utterly clueless as to how she came to be in my bed.
She stumbled from the bed having her foot caught in the bed covers, almost falling face first she manages to catch herself then looks up at me as though she presumed I'd catch her or something, no chance of that happening young lady " again " I move closer to her " what are you doing here ? " " I I I I I'm sorry my King, I just thought you may like a little company for the evening " " you thought wrong, now please leave while I'm asking nicely rather than escorting you through the window to see if perhaps wolves can fly "
Her face distorts to anger and she dares to not only glare but raise her voice at me " I AM AN ALPHA'S DAUGHTER, HOW COULD YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT?! " I simply chuckle and stare at the pup ' this pup must really want to die tonight ' ' calm down Hunt and let me handle it ' do it quickly I'm tired ' " I suppose being an Alphas' daughter means that you're then higher than the King hmm? " I smile coldly at her and she steps back clearly recognizing her error and lapse of judgement.
"I apologize my King, it seems that I lost my composure for a minute there " " apology accepted now get out " " do you really not want me? I am an Alpha's daughter, I'm beautiful " " yes, and what else? " " w-w-what do you mean? " " you said you're an Alpha's daughter and beautiful so I'm asking you what else are you besides that? surely you can't expect your status and looks to be the only thing a man values, if that is what you were taught then I'd most certainly need to have a few words with your parents about the morals and values they taught you pup "
" I am not a pup! " " silence, you come into my room uninvited, speak to me as you see fit, the blatant disrespect is this not the antics of a pup throwing a tantrum? " " bu- " I interrupt her " but nothing, get out of my room, I am very tired and need sleep, my Lycan is not impressed by this situation and is holding on by a thread so if I were you, I'd leave on my own Two feet while I still could "
She was about to speak when Alpha Teejans voice rang through the room " EMBER WOODS! WHAT THE FK ARE YOU DOING HERE?! EVEN THOUGH I TOLD YOU TO BEHAVE AND YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD THAT YOU WOULD AND NOW I COME HERE TO MEET YOU DOING THIS?! ARE YOU THAT DESPERATE EMBER? GET OUT NOWW AND WAIT FOR ME IN MY OFFICE, I WILL DEAL WITH YOU SOON!! "
She does not utter a word and scampers away and down the stairs quickly, Alpha Teejan bows deeply " I am so sorry about that my King, I thought that pup was already in bed and I also apologize for intruding, the door was open and I saw her and immediately saw red "
" It's certainly not your fault Alpha, I have had that happened to me more times than you can imagine, everyone finds it hard to accept that I am still waiting for my mate " he smiles " I understand, there is no better feeling that knowing your mate will be your only one and better yet if they have been waiting for you too " " that'd be amazing, I sometimes wonder if I am wasting my time " he pats my shoulder " don't give up on her my King, she may be right under your nose and pop up when you least expect it, but what I came to tell you is I managed to get in touch with all the Alphas and they all will be here in the morning "
" Great work Alpha, well thank you for handling that and your daughter as well, I'm tired so I will see you in the morning, and can I also ask that refreshments be prepared for the Alphas and their companions".
" It will be done my King , have a good night " " you as well "
"It would seem Mali used your eyes to either spy on you or keep you from seeing the truth, had you been normal you would not have been so easily fooled by the fake mate bond and may have even gone back to seek your pup and true mate, though I do not understand her methods and reasonings, I mean what could have possibly been her goal or end game?" "Well there is only one way to find out, Gyahan can you provide our star prisoner with a meal, you can give her the serum to mix into it" he reaches into his chest and pulls out a small bottle and passes it to Gyahan "oo oo it's so cold oo oo oo" she runs off carrying the bottle. "What a funny little one" I chuckle "you have no idea" after a few minutes a mindlink comes through my mind 'she's eaten your majesty' she snickers through the link 'she practically inhaled the food' "my very naughty attendant has notified me that our prisoner has eaten, shall we go see her or should I have her brought here?" "It is best to limit her interaction
I immediately close the gate way, I'm on shoots up and runs over to Cass "hey, are you okay?" Cass observes her hands then looks around the room before smiling and answering Simon "I am fine", there is something about her that just doesn't feel right to me and I walk over to them and stare at her "who are you?" Simon looks up at me half confused and half annoyed it would seem, "what do you mean who are you my Lord? it is Cass, I did everything you told me and I found her and brought her back" ignoring Simon, "tell me something that Cass would know" there is a pause and even Simon casts her a curious stare "Cass?" "you almost beat me to death! is that good enough?!" "it is not but I will let it slide, I must go, can I speak to you for a minute Simon" He follows me out of ear shot "I am still not convinced that is Cass, are you sure you got the right one?" "yes I am positive" "was there even a fraction of a minute you took your eyes off her?" "uhm, n- yes when she tripped as I was le
Tacamorga is summoned to my war room, he is my Head Hunter, and I am very proud of him, his fetes are unlike any other in my ranks, he's huge, even more so than I am at least 6 ft 8" and built like a tank, his skin is littered with scars and tattoos and he wears a Red eye patch over his right eye, he says it helps him focus and shoot better at his target, he is a man of very few words, I saved him from descending and he has been faithful to me ever since.It is obvious if he was on his way down to the depths it means he did not live a good life while he was living and judging from his skills, he was either a bounty hunter, assasssin or just a murderer for sport either which way it works out perfectly fine for me."Taca, I need you to take Six of your hunters and bring me as much as you can, take non lethals with you because what we need is more soilders not carnage, be cautious and don't get caught, the packs will be on high alert now so be very careful""Understood my Lord, but if I
"For you all the punishment will be Ten strokes with the rod of correction!" those around me cry out for mercy for them because chances are you will descend if you aren't strong enough to with stand the blows, the whip is made of fire."If you do not survive, it means you are not strong and if you are not strong then you can not lead my ranks! Bronkle bring forth the rod and heed my words!" the Bronkle does as it's told and begins the whipping, it's long enough to hit them all in one go, they endure, trying not to make a sound as the heat tears their flesh and scorch their backs. I walk over to Simon and stoop down to him, I lift his head "look Simon, take a good look at them, this is what you've caused with your reckless actions, look at the result of your handiwork"He looks at them with his lips bitten inwards, after the final stroke they all collapse but not before casting looks at Simon, the head squad leader was the first to get back onto his knees then stand before helping the
Dark Dimension *whip! Whip! Whip! Whip! Whip!* “Please Lord Umi, I beg I did it for our sake!” *Whip! Whip! Whip!* Simon cries out in pain as his Lord continues to beat him mercilessly for once acting on his own without informing him of his plans.It is torture because he beats him till his skin bleeds then let’s him be healed then start all over again, it’s been this way for Two weeks and not once has Lord Umi said a single word to his Second in command, nor does he listen to reason when others try to talk him out of the punishment he bestows.“If you keep this up my Lord, he will truly descend one day”The Lord turns “good! Then let him descend! I HAVE NO USE FOR A SUBURDINATE WHO DOES NOT RESPECT HIS MASTER! IF HE DOES BIDDING ON HIS OWN THEN WHAT PURPOSE DO I SERVE HMM? WHERE IS THE ORDER?! ANSWER ME!”“I dare not make assumptions my Lord but I do believe in his mind he believes he was helping you by doing so”“HELPING ME?! YOU CALL EXPOSING OUR EXISTANCE AND CAUSING US TO LOSE C
“Are you okay Mom?”“No, no my pup I am not but I will be, I just can’t believe I’ve lived with these people all these years accepting their lies and them being under dark influence, I have had someone in my midst who has had dealings with the dark and I had no idea”“Just out of curiosity, how can you trust that the Winter Wards as you called them had nothing to do with it” Tyler asks“They are not able to dwell with darkness, they will get tainted and start turning black and wither away, they are among the purest beings in the world” “wow okay”“I think I need to lay down for a bit, this truly is too much for me to process in one go”“Uhm, if you don’t mind can you send us back to our respective packs first”My mom stares at me “I suppose it’s all new to you so you won’t know but you are more than able to open portals as well my love, come I’ll teach you quickly”She teaches me how to channel my power and I learn that I have a fire magical core but she advises me not to use it too m
