* Prince Vincent *
I know she's upset, the business of her family is about to be thrown away. It was her father's legacy and her mother worked so much to keep it this far. For some reason, I never wanted to suggest something that can't be done. I could buy the entire building and give it back to her but I am sure she will not agree knowing how righteous her mindset is.
"Come on Ash, don't make this day so bad for both of us. I have to leave and be on a mission very soon so let us make this day at least a little worthwhile."
Her eyes are misty when she looks up at me, a little bit surprised by the information. Then for a moment, I thought tears would fall from those beautiful and bright almond shape eyes but she manages to push them away.
"Where to your majesty?"
Her interest changed and her voice sounded genuinely interested in my journey. It would be nice if I could take her wit
* Prince Vincent *The long journey from the Langston palace into the Western region takes almost two days. It was tough to be on a voyage reckoning about what I declared to her when I left. What if she leaves? Then I would be left alone for the rest of my life. It would mean to the pack that their Prince was rejected by his mate. Am I going to find another one or is she the only one for me?I gave her the final decision on the fate of our love, if she leave for the city, I would still keep her safe by sending the royal pack warriors around her for protection. My enemies haven't all vanished, I knew there are more of them out there. Waiting to get their hands on the only weakness that I have."Your majesty, we have just arrived."Maleficus steal my attention from thinking about Ashley and the last conversation we had before I left. Finally, we have arrived at the West Region.The
* Ashley *"Oh, mom! I've waited for you all day, what took you so long?"It was almost nightfall when my mother came and visit me at the guest house. We talked over the phone and plan to meet today. I am ready to go but my heart feels heavy, something incomprehensible is bothering my heart. I need her to tell me what's the best thing to do.Her hands tightened around me as she answers my question. "I am not alone sweetie."The door opened wide as soon as she finished the short sentence and the tall figure of the great Alpha King Jack entered the house. Suddenly the surrounding feels small for the two of us with his presence being added."How are you doing Miss Snipes? I'm sorry to be interrupting your mother and daughter moment nevertheless, your mother and I have a brief meeting this morning."His hands gestured to make us all sit on the couch inside the li
* Prince Vincent *The Alpha house stood on a highland surrounded by tall concrete fences and guarded by several warrior wolves from the west. It's a three-story mansion with a vast garden and a wide parking space. It looks newly built, I haven't seen the place since my last visit."Welcome to the Alpha house your majesty, I spent days and nights finishing this comfortable place so that the next time you visit you could sleep comfortably in."I looked around and see the gates slowly open and our vehicle gets in. The flattery in his voice did not impress me."Marvelous! You did well Alpha Rio! This looks great, thank you for building such a beautiful place for your nephew."His eyes widened and his gaze looked away, he did not comment on my praise. Bringing up his nephew into the conversation makes him upset so quickly."Such a lovely Alpha house indeed!"Malef
* Ashley *My luggages are all packed and are settled at the back of my mother's car. As soon as we are settled in the car her driver started the engine and we head out followed by a pickup truck with four warrior wolves escorting us until we reach our destination. It doesn't feel frightening to be out there alone knowing that these wolves are going to protect us."I hope you are happy with the decision you made Ash, you know we are not aware of the enemies of the Prince if they are to attack us after the warriors leave."I turned my head toward her, she was looking outside the window. She's more upset that I left the Prince than the fact that we could be in danger, I know that for sure. But I don't want to say something that will add to her feelings."I'm sorry mom, I just want us to live a normal life again. I think that we will be alright since Prince Vincent assured me that the monster wolf and t
* Ashley *I felt my whole body burning up and the sweat comes out of my pores all over. The pain is killing me, and yet I couldn't say anything. I am half awake and half asleep at the same time but I could feel the people around me. I can hear their voices talking in the room.My mother who I am sure is the one holding my hand, is trembling in mixed emotions. The doctors are probably the people she's talking to, there are two of them. I hear their worried voices discussing about my condition."What happened to my daughter doc? Can she survive this?!""Yes of course Mrs. Snipes, do not worry so much and pray for a fast recovery. Some humans die after a wolf's bite but she displays a hundred percent survival. So I guess we are very lucky!""Oh, thank heavens for that doctor!"Wait, are we in the City or back in Langston Palace? I couldn't open my eyes yet. My
* Prince Vincent *The trip back took time as we have company, and we need to stop for food and get some rest. I am not comfortable leaving the Western pack under the rule of Alpha Rio however, my main purpose is to bring the child back to the Langston Palace. I did what my father asked, and leave whatever doubts I have for Alpha Rio and his brother in the West.When we arrived at the Langston Palace and the gates opened to let us all in, I could feel the difference in the air. The Palace has an aura of someone I did not recognize before. Did my father have guests?"Wow! It's huge!"I turned towards Venus who exclaimed as excitement reflects in her expression. The boy beside her remained calm and he look around before he stepped outside of the car. They both assessed the wide entrance to the Palace."Please, feel free to mind link me whenever you or Xander need my help. My father
* Prince Vincent *It was in the middle of the night when I smell the scent getting stronger. I sniff the air and wonder who could it be since my father has not said anything about a guest staying in the Palace. Xander and his mother have already retired for the night, having to wake up early in the morning to watch the warrior's training."Vincent, we have an urgent matter to discuss."The voice of my father stops my hand from grabbing another glass of whiskey on the counter. I looked behind me and meet his gaze then I move my eyes to see Carmela standing close to her. My mind was somewhere else."Yes father, what is it? We can discuss it here."I smirk and took the glass promptly, emptying it before placing it back. My father ran his eyes around, people are dancing to the loud music in the hall. This is a small party to welcome our guests who already left to rest.
* Prince Vincent *I feel the flesh coming from my father's chest entering my fingernails and smell the blood that comes out of his body. Carmela sprinted and pushed me hard to the side that my father's grip loosened and I fell to the floor. I could have stopped her but I have never hurt a she-wolf in my entire life."Don't fight! Please, your majesty. I am so sorry."My father stood still and let her embrace him in a very tight manner. "Stop apologizing Carmela! This has to end now! Our son has no right to disrespect you or me. He needs to know the truth!"My ears are echoing with his choice of words, our son? What the hell does he think of her, she is not my mother's replacement! She will never be!I stood up as fast as I fell and strode toward them, however, Maleficus was faster to get in my way."Your majesty, please hear the truth before you think of fighting with you
