The moment I shifted, I felt her, I smelled her scent. Does the Moon Goddess seriously believe that I wanted a mate? I laugh at that thought. I never wanted a weak one, love is wicked, it’s just stupid. I know some will not agree about that, but I don’t care.
But you know what's funny? After ten seconds of shifting, I also lost her scent. Does she know that we are mates and run away? Does she know that I will not like her? That’s interesting, what a clever girl. It’s a good decision to run away, especially if she does not pass as my mate.
Did the Moon Goddess pair me with a weak girl or maybe a brat girl? The hell! Is she making fun of me up there?
‘Moon Goddess, are you watching me now? What is your plan? I have told you many times that I don’t need a mate right now. How can you possibly let me know she exists already? What are you planning up there?’ I said to her in my mind. I hope it reaches her and she changes everything.
Having a mate is my last priority in life. This is my time to rule the seven packs that are currently having so many problems and some are against the royal family.
Almost every day there is a problem with each pack. I don’t have time for that mate-thing. My dad gives me so much work today and, as the new king, I have to understand and solve it as soon as I can.
I have already killed many because they go against my family and the Kingdom. My Father ordered me to kill those who go against the royals and I did it. No question and no mercy.
He let me suffer and molded me into a beast that will rule the werewolf world starting today.
I'm in those thoughts when my mother shows up in front of me.
“Mother, what are you doing here?” She suddenly appears inside the King's place where the throne is seated in front. She curiously looks at me. I know exactly what she’s going to ask. She's been talking to me about it since last week before the coronation.
“Zeus, my son, did you find your mate at the ceremony?” Mom asked.
‘I knew it! She wants to know my mate’ I said to myself. I don’t lie, even if I lie to her it will not work. She knows me way too well.
“Yes, but she disappeared the moment I shifted back to my human form. Why?” I said, not interested in the subject.
“Disappeared? That's new, but somehow it’s great news. I will settle a visitation to all packs for us to find her.”
“What for?” I turned around and sat on my throne. “Father already wants the daughter of his right hand to be my Queen,” I said to her.
“But you found her. She exists. We just need to find her. I don’t like your father’s idea of marrying Cyrus's daughter. That’s insane.” She said.
“You know that he wanted this to happen a long time ago. To have a grandson who is pure royal blood just like us,” I explained.
“But the Moon Goddess gave you a chance to find your mate. Don’t be stubborn and agree with that stupid arrangement of your father's,” She said angrily.
I know I will not win this battle. Mother is a fan of things. She will not stop until I say yes to her.
“Okay, I will find her. But I want you to know that if she’s weaker than Loui then I will reject her.” I said to her emotionally.
“You have become your Father, heartless and soulless.” She said angrily and left the room. I can feel her disappointment but I ignore it. Emotion is a weakness. I can’t be weak. I can’t show any emotion. I am the King now and love is just weakness. The king is not only born by blood, we mold by nature and suffer all the pain from the training and fights.

“Tyler!!!” I shouted.
“Zeus” Tyler is my best friend and now my beta. I let him call me by my first name since I don’t like being called King or Your majesty.
“Where are the traitors you captured yesterday?”
“They are now in the dungeon waiting for your punishment.” Tyler
“Let's go and visit them. I want pieces of information right away,”
He leads the way to the dungeon. The only light in this place came from the torch settled on the wall. I don't want to waste my resources on these shit holes.
“I will not bow to your King. He is heartless like his Father!” I heard the rogue shout before I reached his cell.
“Really?”
He looked in my way and the moment that he acknowledged my presence was the moment I saw the fear in his eyes.
“Y-you are the new king,” he said.
“And you are the traitor?”
“I know you’re going to kill me. Do it now!” He said.
“Tyler, what’s the name of this pup?” I asked without leaving eye contact with this stupid wolf.
“He is Romeo”, Tyler answered.
“Romeo, no one has the right to tell me what to do. I’m the King and I don’t want things like this to be simple. I don’t want to kill you so easily. That's boring. I didn't come here to waste my time.”
“What are you going to do?” Romeo
“I’m going to skin you alive if you don’t cooperate with us.”
“NO! I will not cooperate with you.”
“Tyler, give me the knife and tie this creature in the interrogation room. Let me teach him who he messes with.” I ordered.
After they tied him, I positioned my knife under his neck.
My knife is made of pure silver that will burn his skin if it touches it. In some human-created books, it says that it will kill our kind, but it's not. It can do huge damage, but not enough for us to die.
“Now I’m going to ask you again? Who is your boss and what are you planning against my Kingdom?” I pressed the knife into his neck.
“I will not tell you anything! Kill me, you stupid King.”
“Tyler, cut his fingers one by one,” I said.
Tyler moved and did what I said.
“Ahhhhhhhhh! You... heartless monster!” He shouted after Tyler cut his pinky finger.
“Now tell me?”
“No! I will not betray my Alpha.” He said.
“Oh...... So, it’s an Alpha. Thank you for that wonderful information.” I looked around and in just one swift I slit his neck and died right away. “Burn this dog and Tyler, you investigate who is the alpha of this dog. I want to know who the person is who has the guts to fight the royals,” I said before leaving the place.
I will not let anyone bring down my kingdom!
I opened my eyes and looked around this familiar room.The pack hospital, I’m here again in my second room. "How are you feeling Kath?" Sam asked. After my Dad hurt me, Sam always helped me. He still loves me and considers me as his sister. He always defends me against all who fight against me. "Better, how long I've been here." I pushed myself to sit and ignore the pain in my back. I’m sure it will leave another scar on my body. I don’t want to look at my back in the mirror anymore, I don't want to see how terrible it looks like after receiving too many whips from my father. "You've been out for two days." Sam, my brother, said. He gave me a bottle of water and sat next to me, checking my pulse. He knows medical stuff. He wants to be a doctor, but his destiny is not for that. Still, I told him to study medicine on his own in his free time, so he can still do his duties
I feel lonely the moment I step out of my pack. It's so sad to leave the place where I grew up. Now is not the time for sentiment. I need to find another pack for me and for my wolf to settle in. I traveled for a few hours. I went to the next pack but their Alpha refused to let me in, he said that he didn’t want conflict with my father. I almost lost my tract when suddenly I came across a rogue. She's also a girl like me who doesn't want to be in the pack. Funny, because wolves are made to be in a pack and rogues are the wolves who can't control themselves and most of their actions are from their wolf until one day it has full access to your body. She seems harmless and fun to be with. "What makes you become a rogue, Kath?" Lily asked. "That's a long story, but to make it short, I left my pack because I want to find a new li
"Prove me what?" All eyes are on the one who speaks behind me. I turned around and saw the stunningly handsome man I ever laid my eyes onexcept for the King, of course. "You must be Alpha Duren?" I asked. "I'm flattered that you already know my name." he looked at Lily. "Lily is she the one you’re talking about?" "Yes, Alpha Duren" Lily answered. "What is your name rogue?" He asked. "I'm Katharina Omnirous, a former member of Omnirous Pack." He looks surprised at my words. "Are you related to Alpha Ramus Omnirous?" He asks. "He is my Dad." "Well, well, well ..... What makes you leave your pack and decide to join mine?" "It's a conflict between Alpha Ramus and me," I said. "I hope you don'
I'm really nervous about today's fight, I need to fight these rogues to be accepted into the Alpha Duren pack. He is seated now at the front of the mini-stage they called "battlefield". Arman, Lukas, and Lily are now sitting beside Alpha Duren. Lily is the one who will fight first. "This fight is for Katharina to be accepted into my Pack. Lily, Lukas, and Arman will fight you. If Katharina defeats them all, then she will become my pack warrior." He looks at me. "Katharina and Lily are the first to fight, next are Lukas and then Arman." I looked around and saw Bill, Tom, Cheska, and Clarisse waving their hands and giving me thumbs up. "Lily and Katharina, come on stage right now." We stepped on the stage looking at each other. I know Lily will not fight me. She just wanted me to kick her butt and she would surrender. "On the count of three, the fight would start. ONE! TWO! THREE! Fight
I feel exhausted in this stupid search for my mate. There are three more packs to visit tomorrow and the third pack is where we will stay overnight. "Mother, this is a stupid idea. I'm tired of looking for that girl. I have a business that is postponed because of this." "Tomorrow will be the last and we will not stop until you find her. So, go to your room, relax and sleep." She said. "I am the King Mother, not you," I said. "You, maybe the King, but I'm still your mother and I represent the Moon Goddess, so stop arguing with me. After this, you will get rid of me." She said. I turned my back and went to my room. Why did I agree with her plan anyway? As I open the door of my room, a new scent comes rushing at me. Someone is sleeping in my bed. It's Loui. "Lou
I never thought that I was actually having training with Alpha Duren fighters. At first, I got beaten but I'm just faking it. I can feel that someone is watching me and I don't know who, but I'm sure there is. "You’re doing great Kath, just keep it up." Alpha Duren said. Alpha Duren is the one training me now. He lets me fight his fighters and tells me where my weaknesses in fighting are. Now I'm sure that he is also a great fighter and very good at making strategies. He caught my moves in just one fight. "You need to twist your hips more when you’re kicking Kath, it makes you move fast and the impact is much stronger." Justin. I did what he told me to do and I can see that I'm improving my skills. Though I have a bad feeling about this pack, I still need to stay for a while since I don't have any plans yet. But for sure, if the time comes, I will have to go. &n
I smelled a bit of her scent and I walked out of bed at that moment. I want this to get over and for me to continue my search for that Alpha of the rogues. I also got some other responsibilities and duties as a king. This mate thing is really slowing me down. Once this is over, I will train and kill those pathetic rogues. But where the hell is that girl? Is she playing hide and seek with me? I had better get going to find her. We search for the seven packs of our land and come up with the last, but her scent is so faint and there is a mere possibility that she does not belong to a pack. Is she a rogue? That's why she didn't belong to any pack? We searched everywhere but I couldn't see her. The air moves freely in my hair. I jumped out of the window. Something's telling me that I need to do this. I sniff the air and the scent
I woke up feeling someone was shaking me roughly. "We're here Kath, wake up", Ruby. The castle is huge. We followed one of the guards inside. I can't see the King and Queen so I think they came first. The hallway is so long as we turn left and right until we reach the second floor where there are a lot of rooms. The guard gives us our designated room. Ruby will be next door to my room. She waves me goodbye and we go into our own room. The room is simple. Bed, closet, television, and mini-refrigerator with a small bathroom. I looked inside the closet and found a lot of clothes. Most of them are shirts and leggings for training. It's not bad. After all, this is just temporary. I lay in bed and thought of the possibilities after the game. I know I had a chance to win but I cannot underestimate the o
