I am quite disappointed right now that Fleet Admiral Francisco wouldn't let me assign near the antechamber. This could have been my chance to see the whole family of the Grand Alpha King. They were tightening the securities right now and only a few were allowed to guard near the antechamber right now.
One of the reasons that I couldn't guard the antechamber because I was from the special rank already. I was one of those people who would serve as night watchers. I was guarding the lake near the borders in case rogues would dare to step their filthy paws near the borders of the Waevalon Kingdom.
I stood up and leaned my hand on the tree while I was at one of the strong branches of a tree, wordlessly gazing at the reflection of the moon in awe. I was alone here where I chased Claude. My eyes cemented to the direction as to where Claude disappeared to. The direction he went to was where rogues usually appeared to attack the Waevalon Kingdom.
My breath hitched when he introduced himself. Claude Hackworth? So that is his true name?I couldn't believe it. Claude was just right in front of me. My wolf was howling again and again upon seeing Claude.Our mate has come to see us! she said, jumping in joy.I cut her off and ignored her joyous whims. I shivered as I felt Claude's wolf trying to make contact with us. I could hear the soft purring of my wolf that I really tried to ignore.Sir Abraham cleared his throat to focus our attention on him. "Rachelle," he called.Hesitant, I stood up. My eyes were locked with Claude but I looked away. I focused my eyes on Sir Abraham."Y-Yes, sir?" Shit! I freaking stammered.He glanced at me. "We have already helped Sir Claude to stroll around inside the perimeters of the palace. Since you are the leader of the night watchers as well as one of
"I don't get why you have to come with me," I said, lowering my voice and jumped to my usual spot.Claude also jumped on my usual spot which made me want to bark at him. And now, we were facing one another."I should be following you since you are assigned with me, correct?"I frowned at his question and approached him. "Mind you that you are the reason why we have to watch out from day to evening. You almost assassinated my comrade," I said in a lowered voice which only the two of us could hear my words.Claude formed a sly smile. "Mind you are also doing this because our Alpha King is coming surprisingly." He wiggled his eyebrows."What?" I furrowed my forehead. "No... The Alpha King must suppose to have a grandiose entrance not the other way around, Sir Claude.""What?" His eyes widened and stepped back a little. He clenched his hands. "What do you mean by
I was yawning back to my room after I grabbed my late brunch. Earlier this morning, I couldn't sleep because of the fact that Claude was already here. My wolf won't let me sleep as I was tossing myself in the bed.Fortunately, today was my day off. That means I could go back to sleep. I laid down in my bed comfortably upon arriving in my room. I was about to cover myself with my blanket when I heard a loud banging in my door.Not only that, I felt myself shivering as I smelled the familiar smell from someone I knew. I groaned silently and covered my ears with my pillow to not hear the loud banging."Open the door, Rachelle, or I'll invite myself in. Harshly."I groaned and pushed myself to move out of my bed. Annoyed, I opened the door only to meet Claude in his casual suit."What do you want?! Can't you see it's my day off today?!" I barked."I know. But we
"What? He is leaving soon?" I asked General Abraham, surprised by his news."Yes. In less than five days, he needs to stop being the supervisor of night watchers. The Grand Alpha King needs his presence for urgent matters."I was taken aback by his news because I felt like this was just a bluff
"Are you alright, Commander?"I raised my head. I nodded and smiled at Colette. "Yes, I am fine. Why do you ask?" I asked while we were getting to the forest after we passed by the borders of the kingdom."You seem a little strange today." She looked at me, worried. "A little gloomy, I mean."
"Sir Claude is absent today, Commander.""I'm aware," I said coldly as Colette, Benedict, and I were on our way to the borders."Isn't he going to leave soon?" Benedict asked.
"Grand Alpha King is already here, My Lord. I will call some servants to bring your luggage," I informed Earl Ephraim the moment we stopped at the work area of the Grand Alpha King. I even called one of the servants and told her to take the Earl's luggage.He nodded and turned his head. He looked at something behind me and slightly smiled before he returned his gaze back to me. "I shall see you again, Commander Simon." He tipped his hat off, looking at me before the royal guards opened the door for him.I blinked so many times when he was out of my sight. He was a very surprising nobleman. He looked so strict and aggressive earlier when he arrived but a while ago was different. All I thought was he could barely smile but I was wrong. He is indeed a charming earl but very keen on his surrounding.
"Cairo? Wow! You're here now!" Benedict exclaimed and chuckled. He met him halfway through the hallway as I was taking him back to the headquarters.General Cairo grinned and made a weird handshake with Benedict. "So long, partner. 'Thought you all missed me so I have to run away from million miles to come here."I rolled my eyes as I couldn't help the smile flipping on my lips. "Geez! You never change! Full of an airhead, General." I couldn't believe that he was still like this even though a year just already passed. "But kidding aside, how's Auritaurie? Is it stable now?"General Cairo's mischief smile slowly disappeared then he sighed. "I came here to report this to His Majesty and all the Fleet Admirals."I furrowed my eyebrows up
